Proverbs 24:⁵ “A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength”.

God’s miracles usually require you to stretch for you to possess them. However, when we are calling things forth, we expect that they will enter into our pockets or drop on our laps. God is saying, it is going to be within your reach. In the Name of Jesus, that promotion you are trusting God for is now within your reach. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that breakthrough is now within your reach. So, I speak to your hands and to you, I say stretch out and receive it in the Name of Jesus. You need to get up and stretch. You want to achieve A. You have been praying for A. I am just a messenger sent to tell you congratulations, A is now within your reach. But you know what that means? You have to stretch to get it, to receive it.

For you to be able to receive, you must have exercised your capacity of stretching in giving. A classic example is Abraham. Genesis 22:¹⁰ “And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.” (KJV, emphasis added). Abraham’s capacity to become the father of all nations was tied to the fact that he stretched forth his hand to give his son. If your hand cannot be stretched in giving, it cannot be stretched in receiving. We often want our hands to be stretched in receiving, but God exercises that hand in giving. It is the capacity that you build in giving that you can use to receive.

People who are struggling with receiving from heaven have not given as instructed by heaven. When you give as heaven instructs, you make room to receive as heaven provides. The truth is that, what God gives you, He wants to give through you, so that He can get more to you. That is huge. The capacity to receive is developed when you stretch and give. Daniel 11:³² “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” (KJV, emphasis added). We see from this scripture that knowledge, mind, and strength are connected. “The people who know their God”, talks about knowledge and the mind, and your mind being the foundation for building strength.

The people who know their God shall be strong. People who are weak do not know. You must have heard it said that knowledge is power. You can be in a place loaded with opportunities, but if you do not know, you do not know. But if you know, you know, and it gives you strength. Acquiring the right knowledge is so powerful.

Prayer: Father, may it please You to reveal Yourself to me, so that I will truly know my God, and this knowledge will produce strength in me, in Jesus Name. Amen!
