Title: Get Wisdom
Memorize: Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading; James 1:5-6 (Nkjv)
[5] 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.
[6] But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
Message:
Today’s memory verse tells us that wisdom is the most important thing; however, it is unfortunate that many people do not possess it.
I believe this is so because many people don’t ask God for wisdom, while others deliberately ignore it.
Beloved, you need wisdom to navigate life successfully. Consider the story of Esther.
It is not surprising that she was filled with wisdom, having been trained by her uncle, Mordecai, who was a very wise man.
When she needed a favour from the king, she treated him to a banguet but didn’t make her request.
She did the same the second day and got his undivided attention so much so that he said that she could ask for anything, even up to half of his kingdom (Esther 7:2). It was only then that she made her request.
My dear child, do you know that you Can have more wisdom than Esther did? Esther had Mordecai as her mentor, but you have the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:12-13 tells us that the Holy Spirit gives us better wisdom than that of men.
Many Christians make grave mistakes in their lives because they don’t understand the depth of wisdom they have access to in Christ.
Do not be like them; rather, ask God to fill you with His wisdom every day. I pray that He will fill you with His wisdomn dailų, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point:
Father, please fill me with Your wisdom.
HYMN 43: LEAD US HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
1 Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us
O’er The World’s Tempestuous Sea;
Guard Us, Guide Us, Keep Us, Feed Us,
For We Have No Help But Thee,
Yet Possessing Every Blessing
If Our God Our Father Be.
2 Saviour, Breathe Forgiveness O’er Us;
All Our Weakness Thou Dost Know;
Thou Didst Tread This Earth Before Us,
Thou Didst Feel lts Keenest Woe;
Lone And Dreary, Faint And Weary,
Through The Desert Thou Didst Go.
3 Spirit Of Our God, Descending,
Fill Our Hearts With Heavenly Joy,
Love With Every Passion Blending,
Pleasure That Can Never Cloy;
Thus Provided, Pardoned, Guided,
Nothing Can Our Peace Destroy.
