What do you know? How many things that you know? How are you using your knowledge?
Key to success is knowing what need to be done and do it. Knowledge and application of that knowledge is all that you need. If you identify an area that you need succeed in, its important that you put much effort in acquiring knowledge and competency in it. Your immediate steps after acquiring knowledge is to apply your knowledge by doing something. There are many people who studies and acquire some degrees and diplomas but struggles to use their knowledge as they are still looking for employment. They need employment because they still need to be told what to do. They have acquired employment qualifications; hence they need someone to employ them in order to apply their knowledge. Jesus expect his listeners to apply the knowledge they acquired about him and do what he told them to do.
Life is long and unpredictable. However, Jesus assures that everybody who listen to his word and do it will be like a man building his house on a solid rock. You need to find a way of listening to the words of Jesus and do his will. No matter how slow you might be, how poor you might be, and regardless of your previous failures, listening and doing the will of God assures successful life. *Build your house upon the rock by listening to the word of God and applying it*.
The bible in Matthews 7:24-27 ESV says “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. (25) And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. (26) And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. (27) And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
*Build your house upon the rock*.
