GET WISDOM

Text: Proverbs  4:7

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

Wisdom is the principal thing, hence, it is necessary for you to get wisdom. Life becomes worth living as we seek God's wisdom on a daily basis.

Wisdom is available to anyone who truly and genuinely seeks it. The book of Proverbs says that _Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words_ . (Proverbs 1:20-21).

The above shows that wisdom can be accessed by you if only you would pay attention to her cry and voice. 

There is no middle ground, you are either   responding to the call  of wisdom or you are responding to a life of folly.

God's wisdom can be accessed through three major ways:

1. *Ask for it.* 
The brother of our Lord Jesus Christ (in the flesh) wrote to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, saying, "if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5).

2. *Obedience to the Lord.* Genuine obedience to the Lord is the fear of the Lord. And the book of Psalms 111:10 says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

You must be well established in this truth: *Obedience is Wisdom.* 

3. *Learn:* (Proverbs 1:5)
*A heart that seeks to know and learn God is a heart that embraces true wisdom.*  

 *A full heart is a fool's heart.* You must continually seek to learn in order that your heart may find wisdom.

 *Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.(Proverbs  9:9)* 

Bible Reading:Proverbs 1: 20-33 .

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I ask for grace to grow in obedience in Jesus name.

2.) Father God, I receive grace to increase in the learning of wisdom 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...
