SATURDAY  4 SEPTEMBER 

EXERCISE WISDOM IN LOVE

TEXT:  JAMES 1:4-6

Key verse:  Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: 

and with all thy getting get understanding.

The word of God must dwell in the believer richly in all wisdom. This calls for proper interpretation of scripture, right discernment of the truth, and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Love must always be pure and must aim at the ultimate good of the other person. Wisdom calls for the right action to be taken to achieve the desired end. Godly wisdom is pure, undefiled, and is given by God. Every man must exercise wisdom in love. Wisdom cautions and advises. Where wisdom is lacking, we must pray for it.

· Wisdom may demand withdrawal or change of attitude in order to overcome temptation, recover from chastisement and maintain purity. 

· Wisdom may advise that some good be withheld from another temporarily in order to reprove or correct the person of wrong behavior.  

· Wisdom learns from personal experience and the experience of others. 

· Wisdom may suggest the right action to be taken for purpose of precaution and safety. 

Wisdom delivers from danger. Thus, while we are commanded to love our enemy, the Spirit of wisdom teaches us what to do and how to apply scripture and avoid harm from our enemies, as seen in David and Saul. 

In this world of apostasy, mixed multitude, and satanism in the church, we must love with discernment and wisdom in order not to be destroyed by the enemy. Wisdom is required in ministry, parenting, and leadership. Fervent love must continue among us as brethren. This love is shed in our hearts by the Holy Ghost at salvation. It must be practiced in the bounds of scripture and in the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:14-16 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arises from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Thought for the day: Love without wisdom can become harmful.

Song for the day: Send down Your power, we pray Thee oh Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 5-6; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
