WHAT IS WISDOM?     

APRIL Monday 5th

TEXT: Proverbs 4: 1-13

Key verse: Proverbs 8: 12 I wisdom dwell with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

The Bible itself is a book of wisdom. This means the answer to the above question cannot be exhausted because, in another aspect, Jesus calls Himself wisdom as we learn from our key verse. Wisdom is that which delivers you and gives you victory over your enemies and keeps you away from hell. Wisdom is the ability to behave, speak and interact sweetly among men to their satisfaction, delight, amazement and commendation.

Solomon tells us something vital for our lives in this world and principal to be in our character and to employ in our living. He speaks to us as children and requests that we pay attention to his instructions which he received from David his father. Solomon gained wisdom from the counsel and instructions of David. Having been told that Solomon would be king after him, David gave attention to him and gave him vital instruction and the most vital instruction was that he should get wisdom. This was relevant for his life, his government, his service to God and man for a righteous work.

Wisdom is the principal thing. It is the leading virtue in human relationship and administration. Wisdom is the virtue the righteous derives from the fear of God and obedience to His commandments. The wisdom that is inside of you makes you obey the word of God. Wisdom tells us how to do things. It is a calculation arriving at how you can best handle a matter. It is thinking clear through. Wisdom is what makes a man provide a solution to a given problem. God is the giver of wisdom. He gives wisdom freely to those who seek it to honour Him and to do His will. He preserves wisdom for the righteous.

Wisdom is the ability to think clearly through the enablement of God. The prodigal son when he couldn’t find the food of pigs to eat went and sat down, maybe under a tree and started thinking aloud: “How was it when I was at home? I was not even the one cooking food but the servants were cooking and serving us. Now I am here without food. Not even the food of pigs! I will go back home and plead with my father to forgive me.” That is wisdom. That decision to arise and go back to his father was his survival.

Thought for the day: Wisdom is the ability to think clearly to get a solution.

Song for the day: You are everything Jesus is everything to me (2x)

Bible reading for the day: 
Judges 15-17; Luke 10:1-24

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
