Three Layers In Exploring The Knowledge That Produces Victory. || Apostle Joshua Selman
Apostle Joshua Selman: Three layers in exploring the knowledge that produces victory.
- The knowledge of God.
The knowledge of God is the most superior layer of knowledge any believer can press into. When you press to know God, not about him, not around him, not about the realm of the spirit but God himself. You have truly found life.
John 17:3, “This is life eternal that they may know thee, the only true God and Jesus whom thou hast sent.
- You must understand the laws of the Kingdom.
This is the second layer of knowledge, we call them the mysteries of the Kingdom and there are a number of them, they are finite but they are many.
They are not infinite, they are finite but they are many. Like studying a course that is very broad, it is finite, it’s just that is quite elaborate and voluminous. There are a number of laws that come under what we call the “mysteries of the Kingdom” and I’ve thought a number of them. We’ve been generous in communicating the various aspects of spiritual laws;
*The law of seed time and harvest; is one of the laws of the Kingdom. That life is governed by seed time and harvest. Knowing that alone can put you in a position of victory.
You want to learn more about that, listen to my message “the law of seasons”, there I teach according to the dream of Pharaoh, that there will always be seven years of plenty and this is not speaking with relation to things or finances. The seasons of your life will never be the same but your results can be consistent, if you understand the laws of seasons.
*The law of faith is one potent spiritual law.
If you do not understand how faith works you will not be able to walk in the experience of victory, because the Bible says, “this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”.
*The law of relationships
That the Heaven of Heavens belong to the Lord but the Earth hath he given to the sons of men and that everything that happens upon the Earth is not just God dependent but men dependent and to the degree to which you understand human relation principles, to the degree to which you understand the laws of relationship, that is the degree to which you will excel within the cosmos.
Remember John 5:7, how come you have been in this condition for a long time? I have no man. That’s what he said.
The impotent man said, “I have no man when the water is stirred”.
So it’s important for you to realize that excelling within the Earth is God dependent and men dependent. You need favor with God and favor with men.
Luke 2:52, Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God but he did not ignore men.
I’m just giving you an understanding just to help you.
*The Dynamics of Prayer.
These are some of the laws of the Kingdom. How to use prayer as a potent force to correct things, to adjust things, to cause things to align according to God’s predetermined counsel. He says, “Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God.
*The law of Honor.
All doors close because of dishonor. Dishonor to God, dishonor to men, dishonor to principles. If a door closes and has remained closed in your life, there is only one explanation, dishonor.
You have dishonored God, you have dishonored His systems, you have dishonored the men who are gatekeepers.
How about the dynamics of warfare, still connected to prayer? The Bible does not leave us in the dark as to the fact that we are not alone. He told us while men slept, an enemy (so you are not alone on the earth), he does not hide the fact that there are demonic forces that are determined in spite of the reality of Christ’s finished work, that satan as a stubborn and a resilient spirit has an array of demonic forces determined to thwart the purposes of God over your life and my life and He teaches us how to resist the devil.
If you live in a world where you imagine that there are no demonic forces, then you may not amount to a victorious christian.
*The law of diligence.
Seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before Kings, he shall not stand before mean men. When you find a person competent, when you find a person diligent. This is where you teach on Excellence, the ability to deliver not wanting, study to show yourself approved, a workman unto God who is not ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.
If you do not understand the law of diligence you will never command influence over people. Nobody will follow a leader that is disoriented confused with no sense of his understanding nor where he’s going.
You need to be competent. Spirituality is not an excuse for incompetence. Life and destiny is vocal about rewarding competence. He said, “is there such a man all over Egypt who is discret and wise as thou” and because there was none, immediately without consultation, without any thinking about it later, Joseph was exalted immediately. He became prime minister.
He said, “I am Pharaoh and only in the matter of the throne will I be higher than you”. As far as the administration of Egypt is concerned, he left it in the hand of Joseph, not minding that he was not an Egyptian.
Competence will veto your background, competence will close every excuse, it doesn’t matter what it is.
When people say “it’s because she’s a lady, he’s a man, because he’s from this place”. There are excuses that have been enhanced by incompetence. In the presence of competence, you will always be found around the throne. The one who is competent truly(the gift of a man, the Bible says “makes room”. It will shift everything until it makes room and then it brings him before great people).
So, if you look around and you find out that, you’re surrounded by mean men for want of words, one of the explanations is that your life has not compelled that change of status. When you become competent, competence is like a vehicle, it’s like a lift, it moves you from your lowly estate in life and brings you before the great.
I’m showing you where things are wrong in your life. The reason why although what you are doing is desired by many but nobody can come to you, is because you are not competent enough.
Do not stop developing yourself until you serve kings, that is the end point. If you are not serving kings, then don’t stop, you are not yet there.
Kings are the ones who have the reward that matches your desire. The people in the prison can celebrate you but they cannot reward you because they are like you but the treasures are found in the palace. So, when through competence you ascend and enter the palace that becomes for you a place of no return.
- The knowledge as far as expertise and transactable skill is concerned.
That means, knowledge in your field of endeavor, that’s where you talk about your profession(a doctor, a lawyer, a preacher), whatever it is.
So, you see that what you call secular knowledge, academic knowledge, education as you call it. Enlightenment along a field of endeavor in the realm of the spirit and by ranking, it is the least level of knowledge. So don’t just say I have a masters, I have PhD, I have a degree, I have several. Now, that’s wonderful but you will see that in as far as the ranking that produces dominion is concerned, you have not really done well. If all you have is an educational qualification, you’ve done well in the world of men but in the world of victors, you have not done well. You have to step into another layer to learn the mysteries of the Kingdom, then step into the highest layer known to man, the knowledge of God.
Now, you show me a believer that pays the price to know God, pays the price to learn the laws of the Kingdom and then presses to the area of expertise, I show you an indomitable personality. You have found such a person that will bring joy to the heart of God. May that person be you in the name of Jesus.
