WHAT DO YOU KNOW
One morning, my boys were arguing about their favourite TV show called P J Masks.
(Any parent of a pre-schooler reading this would know this show. LOL)
The eldest - Oluwasemiloore - said to his brother, "Gheko has more superpowers than Cat boy"
Feranmi replied, "No way! Cat boy has more"
When I noticed Semiloore was sort of gaining ground in the argument, I decided to defend Feranmi.
"No way! Cat boy has lots of superpowers too"
"No, Dad. Gheko has Super Gheko Muscle, Super Lizard Grip, Super Gheko punch...", He protested.
I interrupted, "Yes but Cat boy has "Super Cat Speed, Super Cat Jump" and I didn't know what else to say.
It was at that moment I realised, "You are only as relevant as what you know".
My knowledge of that Show is too limited to try to defend Feranmi.
That was how I bowed out humbly and Semiloore won the argument lol.

My point is, in your office, in your career, in your spiritual journey, in every area of your life, you are only as relevant as what you know!
Knowledge places you on the platform of relevance and value. Ignorance is a choice, not only that, but it's also a disease. How do I know this?
The Bible says "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you..." [Hos 4:6]
This tells me that the knowledge you don't have is the knowledge you have chosen not to have. In other words, rejected!
No wonder the Bible also says "Study to show yourself approved unto God..."
Do you want to stay relevant and valuable; you must study! You must never reject knowledge. You must embrace learning.
What knowledge have you been rejecting before now?
Perhaps this your call to do something about it.
I believe in you!
