Wisdom



" If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking." James 1:5

The big problem with many people, especially Christians, is that we seek wisdom on our own, even from people who don't know God.

The Bible says there's wisdom of this world and wisdom from above (James 3:15), which is called wisdom from God.

Many Christians are carried away by worldly wisdom and use it for crucial aspects of their lives. The Word of God says worldly wisdom is foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:20).

What is worldly wisdom?
You will know it this way;
1. You'll know it by its source, who is saying it. Does that person fear God?
2. What does that wisdom urge you to do? Does it prompt you to do good things?
3. Does it align with the Word of God?

Worldly wisdom has many sources, but behind all these sources is Satan, the father of lies.

What is God's wisdom?
The answer is simple. It's found in His Word. If you ask God for wisdom, He'll give it to you by teaching you His Word (Proverbs 2:6). It is the word of God that gives us wisdom.

Now, as a child of God, stop listening to random people on social media. Don't let your life be guided by what entertainers, artists, and motivational speakers who don't know God say and do.

The lives of many popular people whom the world listens to now are evidence that they lack wisdom; they do wrong and evil things.

If you need advice or guidance in any aspect of your life, ask God, and He will give you wisdom. Read his word, if you are in social media, listen to true preachers of the Gospel. That's how you will get wisdom.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are the Wisdom of God. I ask You to give me Your wisdom because there are many things in this world that I don't know.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders o...

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

Image
  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. ...

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all...
