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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
