Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1
There are three levels of faith: the word of faith, the gift of Faith and the Spirit of Faith.
on
The Word of Faith teaches us the principles of faith; the gift of Faith helps us to understand the Word of
Faith; while the Spirit of Faith drives the principles into productivity.
The Spirit of Faith is the highest in the levels of Faith, and it should be the most desired as there is no
challenge on earth that it cannot level. Heb. 11:32-34
fid

growth. Colossians 4:2
 Absence of prayer boosters may lead to scattered thoughts and a lack of clarity in prayer. James
1:6
 Ignoring prayer boosters may result in reduced sensitivity to God's guidance and voice. John 10:27
11
  Neglecting prayer boosters may contribute to heightened anxiety and stress, as there's a lack of
intentional surrender to God. Philippians 4:6-7
 Without intentional prayer practices, faith may be weakened and struggles may seem
insurmountable. Romans 10:17
 Neglecting prayer boosters may limit the effectiveness of intercessory prayers for others. James
5:16

Week 3
Pillar of the Commission: Wisdom
Topic: The place of knowledge
Bible Text: Daniel 9:1-4, 1Kings 4:30-32
Bible Character: Daniel, Solomon
Lesson Objectives: By the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
 Define Knowledge
 State TWO reasons why knowledge is important in quest for wisdom
Memory verse: “The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it
out.” – Proverbs 18:15
Introduction
Knowledge deals with knowing the facts. On the other hand, wisdom is the final destination in the journey.
It is the ability to judge what is right and true. While we should all aspire to wisdom, we must give
knowledge its proper place. Knowledge takes work, commitment and personal responsibility and is a
C
foundational block for wisdom.
Definition
on
 Wisdom: Knowing what to do from God’s Word and doing it.
 Place: A particular position, point, or area in space; a location
 Knowledge: The information we gain through reasoning or experience.
Therefore, the place of knowledge refers to getting information or understanding through reasoning,
fid
experience, or from being learned, in order to grow in divine wisdom. Prov. 18:15
What is knowledge?
 Knowledge are the examples, truths, and commands that God wants us to know, believe, and heed.
 Knowledge is not morally and ethically neutral. It’s either “good” or “evil.” It will either push you
en
towards good or bad. Romans 16:19
 Real (good) knowledge is from God the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. James 1:16-18, John
14:6, 1 John 2:20-27.
 Knowledge requires a thirst from us. It doesn’t happen by osmosis. Proverbs 15:14
tia
Why knowledge is important in the quest for wisdom
 Without broad knowledge there cannot be wisdom. Knowledge is a foundation for wisdom. Proverbs
18:15
l
 Knowledge gives us the power to choose. Deuteronomy 30:19

 God is the greatest giver. He gives us all things, and without Him we are and have nothing.
 We also don’t give to receive accolades for our generosity. Matthew 6:3
 We give out of love of others and love of Christ.
 God will grow us in righteousness as we give in faith, and will use any gift we give to do more than
we could ever imagine.
 Receiving is just as important as it shows us that God is our provider at all times and our
dependence should rest on Him.

So, we should consciously expect to receive from God, every time we give.
27

 Giving reflects God's character, and when we give generously, we mirror His abundant generosity.

Most times people assume the covenant of wealth but you cannot engage in a covenant transaction
without active communication. That is where the place of prayer is important. You need to speak in prayer
l
to God when you tithe, give or receive.
The Cost of Not Engaging Prayer Boosters.

 Failure to pray as you give your tithes amount to wasting the ‘tithe’ because we are commanded to
pray as we give Deut 26:2-16
 Not praying means not asking God to make the tithe answer in your life. Mal 3:10
 Not prayer means you will not be expecting anything from God and so your faith will not be
activated. For example, Jacob's prayer Genesis 28:22b
 Not praying leads to pride because you begin to think you are the doer and it brings a curse. Mal 2:2
