TOPIC: LOVE AND WISDOM. THURSDAY JULY 20
TEXT: JAMES 1:4-6
KEY VERSE: “Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom.” (Colossians 3:16).

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. Wisdom calls for 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 eminent 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 behaviour.
• Wisdom learns from personal experience and the experience of others.
• Wisdom may suggest 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.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise 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. Ephesians 5:14-16.

Thought for the day: Divine wisdom is pure and peaceable.
Song for the day: I have no power of my own…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 31-33; Acts 21:15-40

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
