GET WISDOM-2

 Text: Proverbs  4:7


Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Wherever you find God's wisdom, there you will also find true understanding and knowledge. 

So, the scripture says in  Proverbs 7:4 "Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman".

 *True wisdom of God is that which is entrenched in your heart and not in your head* (Proverbs 10:8). God's wisdom in your heart will bring understanding to your heart and mind as well (Job 38:36- NET).

We highlighted the three major ways to accessing God's wisdom yesterday.
Today, we shall be looking at the first means by which you can access pure wisdom from God- ASK. (James 1:5).

One way by which King Solomon got his wisdom from God was simply by ASKING. He asked for wise and understanding heart in his dream. 

Interestingly, God gave him what he asked for in his dream. I am sure that God who gave wisdom to a man who asked Him in a dream, will give same and much more to you if you also ask Him in faith. 

Since the bible says that "...a dream comes through much activity..."(Ecclesiastes 5:3), I want to believe that Solomon must have been nursing the idea of receiving a wise heart from the Lord before he met the Lord in his dream for a lifetime opportunity of "One-Golden-Ask".

Can I ask you one question? If the Lord should appear to you right now and give you the opportunity to ask for one thing like He did to Solomon. What one thing would you ask for?

Think about it!
Can you write it down?

Often than not, children of God could hardly present their one need before the Lord like Solomon. This is because many don't even know what they truly need. King Solomon was able to present his "One-comprehensive
 request" before the Lord in a very precised manner.

Jesus told Mary in Luke 10:42 that _one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her._ 

Do you know that ONE thing that is needful in your life which you need to present before the Lord in prayer now?

Praying aright is in itself wisdom from the Lord. Solomon asked for an understanding heart only, but the Lord gave him riches, long life and victory over his enemies as well. What more would he have gotten aside these?

Bible Reading: I Kings 3:1-13 .

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I ask for wisdom and understanding heart in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
