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.

Do you wish to know the secrets of God?

 

For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,

But His secret counsel is with the upright.

Proverbs 3:32

 

Some people think that God is mysterious and they cannot really know Him, however the scripture above tells us that God does share His secret counsel with certain groups of people. For example, God made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel (Psalm 103:7). So if you wish to know the secrets of the Lord, this is what you must do:

 

1, Be upright before God

To know the secrets of the Lord we must be upright before Him. To be upright is to have a right relationship with God and to live a right life before Him. We can have a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ:

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT)

 

2, Fear God

To know the secrets of God we must fear and reverence Him because of Who He is and how awesome He is:

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and He will shew them His covenant.

Psalm 25:14 (KJV)

 

3, Call on the Lord

To know the secrets of the Lord, we can call on the Lord and He promises to answer us:

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Jeremiah 33:3

Prayer

Dear Lord, I am calling on You to show me great and mighty things which I do not know in Jesus name.

Do good to others when you can

Do good to others when you can

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

Proverbs 3:27-28 (NLT)

The scriptures above tells us not to withhold good from those who deserve it when we have the power to help. Why is it important do good to others when you can?

1. What you sow you will reap

It is a spiritual law that whatever you sow that is what you will reap. If you sow kindness in the lives of others, you will also reap kindness. Even if you don’t receive the reward in your life time, your children and grandchildren will reap the harvest:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)

2. When you help the poor you are lending to the Lord

When you help the poor who are not able to repay you, you are lending it to the Lord and in due season the Lord will pay you back:

If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD–and He will repay you!

Proverbs 19:17 (NLT)

3. When you bless others you are doing it unto the Lord

When we help those in need, we are not just doing it unto them but we are doing it unto our Lord Jesus Christ and He will reward us on the day of judgement:

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Matthew 25:34-36

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to do good to others when it is in my power to, because I know I am doing it unto You in Jesus name.

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.

What are the benefits of wisdom?

Wednesday 12^th July 2017

Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.

Proverbs 3:13-16

There are so many benefits to having wisdom and today we will explore some of these benefits:

1, Having wisdom makes you joyful

The scripture above tells us that joyful is the person who finds wisdom. This is indeed true because we are told that wisdom brightens a person’s face and softens’ its harsh appearance:

How wonderful to be wise, to analyze and interpret things. Wisdom lights up a person’s face, softening its harshness:

Ecclesiastes 8:1 (NLT)

2, Wisdom offers you a long life

We know that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and we are told that the fear of the Lord will prolong your days on earth:

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

Proverbs 10:27 (KJV)

3, Wisdom offers you riches

The wisdom of God offers you riches because you will have God-given ideas that if you will implement can make you rich beyond your imagination. We all have thousands of ideas going through our minds each day and many of them are ideas from God about what He wants us to do to make us rich. The secret is to take one of those ideas that you know is from God, work on it and never give up until it becomes successful. When you are rich you will be able to bless the poor:

Wisdom can make you rich, but foolishness leads to more foolishness.

Proverbs 14:24 (CEV)

4, Wisdom offers you honor

When you are a person of wisdom, you will have honor and others will hold you in high esteem:

If you prize wisdom, she will make you great. Embrace her, and she will honor you

Proverbs 4:8 (NLT)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to fear You because I know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

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

Faith makes a way

Thursday 22 June 2017

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 25:21

The importance of faith if a key concept in the Bible. Faith is the currency on which the Word of God was founded. Faith is crucial in order to have a relationship with God and to acquire the success that God has promised in His word.

1,Faith is essential to  progress

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

In Hebrews 11:6, we are reminded by God in the Bible that without faith we cannot please God. When we can be faithful with a few things, God then can bless us with the opportunity to be blessed with much more. If we want to progress to the next level e.g financial independence and achieve our financial goals, we need to first handle our current situations and master it.

2, God is a God of multiplication, change and transformation

In order to be faithful over a few things and then go onto rule many things, we need God’s assistance. God promises in His word to make us more like Christ and to order our footsteps (Psalms 119:133).

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

2 Corinthians 5:17

God removes old things to make the way for new things. In Galatians 5:23, we read of the fruits of the Spirit.  God equates success with faithfulness, joy, long suffering, peace, kindness, goodness and self control. God allows us to be successful through transforming our character and not always our financial circumstances. He promises to do a new thing in our life.

Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.

Isaiah 43:18

Summary

In order to experience new things in our life we need to have faith and be expectant of change in line with Gods promises. We serve a God of multiplication, transformation and change who is more than able to assist us in mastering our current financial situation and circumstances. Once we do, He then promises to take us to more financial success.

Why should you accept the Lord’s discipline?

Wednesday 21 June 2017

 

My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you.

For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom He delights.

Proverbs 3:11-12 (NLT)

Being disciplined is not a pleasant experience however we are being encouraged not to be upset when we experience it. Why is it important to accept discipline?

1, The Lord disciplines those He loves

Just as a natural father correct a child that he loves, God also corrects us because He loves us. If we accept God as our Father then we must accept the discipline that the Father gives to His children:

And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as His children? He said, “My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline,and don’t give up when He corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child.”

Hebrews 12:5-6 (NLT)

2, Discipline helps you to stay on the right track

The Lord’s discipline helps us to stay on the right track, which is why David said it was good for him to be afflicted. Affliction helps us to come back to the Lord and to obey the word of the Lord:

It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.

Psalm 119:71 (NIV)

3, Discipline produces a fruit of righteousness in our lives

In the moment when we are being disciplined it seems painful, but later it helps us to live right in the sight of God:

No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening–it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

Hebrews 12:11 (NLT)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to accept Your discipline knowing that You correct those you love in Jesus name.

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.

God will reward you for your good works

Thursday 25^th May 2017

″Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good.”

Matthew 20:15

God has made us stewards over the earth’s possessions (Genesis 2:15). We have been given wisdom, knowledge and understanding in order to choose how to make the most of our personal resources. God has given us freedom to decide the choice to make with our resources. What a generous God we serve.

1, We are to be good stewards with what God blesses us with

God has given us dominion over the earth.  We have dominion over the land and animals which includes a lot of responsibility.

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 1:26

In order to be a good steward, we have been entrusted by God with the ability to exercise our free will over the resources we have. God’ s desire is that we use His resources for good works and when we do God blesses us.

2, God rewards good works

God is pleased when we are obedient to Him and follow His commands for He says in the Bible obedience to Him is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel  15:22). God rewards our good works and desires that we serve one another.

Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.

Matthew 25: 37-40

Summary

Jesus was a compassionate human version of God, who aligned himself with those that society most typically writes off. Jesus had lots of compassion for the mentally ill and disabled, and healed many throughout His ministry. Jesus Christ was the expression of the goodness of the Lord and had His support to the point of death. As a result, Jesus has been rewarded with power and authority and offered the gift of salvation through His name. Good works definitely pay off!When we are a good stewards of God’s resources, we can truly have the freedom to bless others as we see fit, meet our God given purpose and please God through our choice of good works at the same time.
