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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
