Why should we get wisdom?

Wisdom is the principal thing;

Therefore get wisdom.

And in all your getting, get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7

Our scripture above tells that wisdom is the principal thing therefore we should get wisdom and with all our getting we must get understanding. Why should we get wisdom?

1, Wisdom will promote you

Wisdom will promote you because it will help you to know what to say and how to behave in every situation you may find yourself in which will ultimately lead to your promotion. For example, Daniel was promoted because he had more wisdom than all the wise men of Babylon and as a result he was promoted to a place of honour:

Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 2:48 (HCSB)

2, Wisdom will bring you honour

Having wisdom brings you to a place of honour where you are highly esteemed because of the wisdom that you possess. For example, because of the wisdom that Joseph had in being able to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, he too was promoted and brought to a place of great honour:

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours.”

Genesis 41:39-40 (NLT)

3, Wisdom will give you grace and glory

When you are a person of wisdom, you are shown kindness and honour which others are not privileged to experience. This is because wisdom comes from God and when you fear Him, He will ensure that you are given divine grace and glory:

She will place on your head an ornament of grace;

A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”

Proverbs 4:9

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to get wisdom and with all my getting give me understanding in Jesus name, amen.

Harvest a good group

“But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Mark 4:8

In order that a good harvest be yielded, certain conditions are essential. Sunlight, water as well fertile soil is required. The season for harvesting a crop needs to be correct, so the crop will grow. When ideal conditions are met as predetermined by God ‘s creative hand, an abundant harvest is possible. In order to bear a fruitful financial harvest in our life, we will explore some crucial things God tells us for His blessing.

1, Acknowledge God

To harvest abundance in our lives, including financial abundance, it’s important to first and foremost acknowledge God. All good things come from God (James 1:17). If we invest in God and get to know Him and do as He tells us, we will reap accordingly.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Galatians 6:7-8

2, Faith is fundamental

In order to grow in our relationship with God, we need to have faith. God rewards faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith is so important to God, that He reassures us that we all have a measure of faith (Romans 12:3).

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

3, God rewards us according to the cleanliness of our hands

God rewards those that listen to His word. Obedience is important from the book of Genesis to Revelation. We are called to live a life of obedience (Genesis 22:18). The word advises us that God rewards us according to the cleanliness of our hands. As such, it is important that we are obedient to God since obedience is a form of worship to God (Romans 12:1).

The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

Psalm 18:24

Summary

When we acknowledge God and walk in faith and obedience, God has no reason not to be faithful to His word. God promises us to give us the desires of heart. When we please God and put Him first by honouring what He tells us to do in His word, God promises to reward us according to the cleanliness of our hands and according to the promises in His word.

God has called us to be successful

God has called us to be successful

Friday 30 June 2017

So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.

Matthew 25:20-21

In the parable of the talents we are reminded of many life lessons, such as the importance of work ethic to God. We are also reminded that we are all capable of achieving different levels of success before God, provided we put in the correct work ethic. In Matthew 25:14-30, in the parable of talents we are reminded that God is a God of multiplication who expects us to bear fruit and multiply.

1, God expects us to work hard and multiply

God rewards hard work. He expects us to work hard and prosper. In the parable in verse 25:24-28, the servant who was given just one talent and only returned one talent is severely punished for not earning more money on the talent he was given. The men who increased the amount of money they earned on top of the talent they were given, are rewarded with compliments.

‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Matthew 25:29-30

Biblical success is working diligently in the here and now using all the talents God has given us to produce the return expected by the Master.

2, We work for the Master, not our own selfish purposes.

The master gave the servants talents and expected the three servants to all multiply them. Their role was to act as stewards over the master’s money and all the money made on top was to be given back to the master. God has entrusted us with money, wisdom, skills and creativity to look after the resources He has blessed us with. We are free to enjoy them and use them to bless others and ourselves, however they essentially belong to God. We should feel satisfaction and joy from doing our best with what God has given us in the place where his providence puts us, seeking to succeed in order to honour him.

Summary

We are to honour God with the skills and resources He has blessed us with. We are accountable to God for the way we live our lives. We must be willing to be bold and take initiative where necessary. God has given us wisdom, knowledge and understanding to be successful, to prosper and to multiply.

For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding

Proverbs 2:6

Obedience is better then sacrifice

Thursday 15^th June 2017

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.”

Matthew 23:23

God advises us in His Word that obedience is better than sacrifice. At times people are willing to sacrifice to God e.g money through tithing or giving an offering, however God’s word reminds us that our sacrifice in terms of tithing etc is pleasing to God when we are obedient to Him, and put His commandments first.

1, God values obedience over sacrifice

Jesus rebukes the Pharisees and Scribes through paying token acknowledgement to God in Matthew 23:23. When we follow God’s teaching, we realise that He is most pleased when we put qualities such as obedience, justice, mercy and faith before financial sacrifice. God constantly reminds us throughout the Bible that obedience is better than sacrifice.

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.”

1 Samuel 15:22

2, God is a God or order and principle

God puts His Word higher than His name. That means God values and honors His Word. We need to honor His Word and be obedient to it. As such, we must put Gods Word above any desire for financial gain or above any financial sacrifice we make to God.

I will worship toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your loving kindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

Psalm 138:2

God’s Word is His communication, His promise, the revelation of Himself to His people. It is to be a lamp to our feet in a dark and fallen world, without it we would have no way to know God or how to do God’s will.

Summary

In pursuing our life and career, we must be willing to put obedience to God’s Word above any offering we make to God e.g tithes etc. God is faithful to His Word. When we are obedient and provided we have faith, God will answer our prayers.

If you have faith, you can have what you say

Thursday 7th June 2017

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

Matthew 21:22

The Bible is full of God’s faithful promises that He says he will fulfill in our lives. The Bible makes wonderful promises from God to us, from the promise of protection, to the promise of His love for us and His ability to restore broken lives. Another of God’s promises is that if we have faith in our prayers and believe we will have what we ask for, God will hear our requests and answer us.

1, God’s currency is faith

In the physical realm we require money as a currency to survive in order to acquire shelter, food, clothing and entertainment. In the spiritual realm, God requires faith. God’s word says without faith we cannot please God.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

With faith we can receive all that God has promised us. In order to receive, God’s word tells us we only need the faith of a mustard seed.

2, We only need the faith of a mustard seed

God only requires a mustard seed of faith to activate his power. We can pray to receive faith. The more we read and meditate on the word of God in the Bible, the more our faith will grow.

So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Luke 17:6

Man’s faith activates God’s power. In Mark 5:25-34, we are told the story of the woman with an issue of blood for 12 years. She had persisted with doctors and no one could heal the persistent blood flow. The Bible says it was the woman’s faith that healed her. Without faith, the healing she encountered would have never taken place.

Summary

With faith all things are possible. We can pray to God to help us faith. The more we read the Bible the more we will have faith and receive God’s promises. God is faithful to His promises and His word. He says He is a God that cannot lie (Numbers 23:19). In that case, we can rest assured that all we ask for from God, in line with God’s word will be given to us.

Do you want to be healthy and strong?

Wednesday 7 June 2017

Do you want to be healthy and strong?

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and depart from evil.

It will be health to your flesh,

And strength to your bones.

Proverbs 3:7-8

In today’s Proverb, we are told how to be healthy and strong in our body:

1, Don’t be wise in your own eyes

The first remedy to be healthy and strong is not to be wise in our own eyes. The Bible tells us that the wisdom of man is foolishness to God therefore as much as we may think we know it all, what we know is nothing compared to our God. We should humble ourselves and seek the wisdom of God in everything we do including in our health:

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)

2, Fear God

If we want to be healthy and strong we are told to fear God. The fear of God is having holy reverence and respect for God knowing that He made us and our lives are in His hands:

Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge

Proverbs 14:26 (NIV)

3, Depart from Evil

If we want to be strong and healthy we have to be willing to depart from doing evil because evil things only lead to sickness and eventually death. Instead we have to do good so that it will go well for us:

Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.

Psalm 37:27 (NIV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me not to be wise in my own eyes but to fear You and depart from evil in Jesus name.

Do you want God to direct your paths?

Wednesday 31 May 2017

Do you want God to direct your paths?

In all your ways acknowledge Hi

And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:6

We all want to know that we are walking in our purpose and in the correct path that God has mapped out for us. So what can you do for God to direct your path?

Acknowledge God

First and foremost we are told that we should acknowledge God if we want Him to direct our paths. The way we do this is to present everything we are doing to the Lord and ask Him to direct our steps:

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:6

Ask for His direction

Like the Psalmist, we too must ask God to show us the path that we should take and which road we should follow:

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.

Psalm 25:4

Commit all your ways to God

When we commit all our ways to the Lord, He will direct our steps and bring whatever we have committed to Him to pass:

Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you

Psalm 37:5

In summary, for God to direct our paths, we must acknowledge Him, ask for His direction and commit all our ways to Him.

Prayer

Dear Lord, I commit everything I do to You therefore please lead me in the path of righteousness in Jesus name.

What is the secret of obtaining favor with God and people Part 2

Wednesday 17th May 2017

Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.

Proverbs 3:3-4 (NLT)

Last week, we learned that to obtain favor with God and people, we must be loyal, kind, respect God and believe in Jesus Christ. Today we will explore three more secrets to obtaining favor:

Be humble

Humility is having a deep sense of one’s (moral) littleness; modesty, and lowliness of mind. It is being aware that we are nothing without the grace of God upon our lives and therefore having total dependence on God. When we humble ourselves we will obtain favor from God:

Toward the scorners He is scornful, but to the humble He gives favor.

Proverbs 3:34 (ESV)

Seek God’s favor

God says we will find Him when we seek Him with all of our heart. Therefore as we develop a relationship with Him, we can, like the Psalmist ask God to shower us with His favor:

Remember me, O Lord, when You show favor to Your people; help me when You save them

Psalm 106: 4 (ESV)

Seek God’s Kingdom first

When we put God first in everything we do, and seek for the establishment of His kingdom here on earth, He gives us other things that we did not ask for including favor:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please remember me when You show favor to Your people; help me when You save them in Jesus name.
