INTRODUCTION:

In a standardized definition of knowledge, Knowledge is a general awareness or possession of information, facts, ideas, truths, or principle about something. Our Lord Jesus said in John 8:32 “and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free” knowledge can be acquired from various phares of life for the benefit of humanity, but any person that wants to excel in any profession, must seek for knowledge, also know this that all we know now will some day come to an end. (I Cor. 13:8) the giver of knowledge is God (Dan. 1:17). Unfortunately most people do not understand this fact. Elihu also knows this secret and he says in Job 36:3 “I will fetch my knowledge from afar and will ascalbe righteousness to my maker” A man of knoeledge is a man of greatness i.e greatness cannot by-pass a man of knowledge. The greatest disaster that can happen to a man is lack of the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord and Salviour.
