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

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...
