Wisdom

Wisdom is the principal thing, Solomon declared. As 2010 gets moving another resource needed to succeed is wisdom. We need wisdom in everything we do. From our health, to marriage, to careers to just plain every day living wisdom is paramount. With wisdom certain decisions we make would be far easier to make. Part of the reason we see the breakdown in many areas of life today is simply lack of wisdom.

Wisdom is best defined as the rightful application of knowledge. Wisdom is not being clever. Being clever is demonstrated by passing exams. Education systems are producing clever people in life but not wise students of life. Wisdom is using acquired knowledge to make judgement calls that turn situations into glorious occasions. Well here goes another acronym.

W for Words: Words are powerful. be careful how you communicate. Your words either build or destroy. Wise people speak less but use their words to engage minds resulting in right thinking.

I for Instruction: Where instructions are not followed failure is almost assured. Notice everything comes with a manual to make it work. Build your life on the instructions that God the Creator has given mankind. Instructions for man from God are found in the entire bible.

S for Study: Study wise people. Study the biographies of wise people. When you understand what drove wise people to become what they became you open the door of greatness.

D for Development: Make personal development a goal this year. You cannot face this year with just the knowledge of yesterday. Seek new information as knowledge is constantly being increased.

O for Obligations: Wise people understand the power of fulfilling obligations. Draw up a summary of your obligations and see God work in your favour. Being faithful to those we are obligated to builds within one the capacity to be faithful. Wisdom is always found in faithful people.


M for Movement: Wisdom enables movement. Wise people are movers and shakers. In 2010 acquire the wisdom that will allow you to move towards the fulfillment of your dreams.

Wise Words when spoken result in thought provoking Instructions which require attentive Study bringing forth personal Development causing one to embrace Obligations that result in Movement.

May 2010 be the year that you pursue wisdom at every level of life. Wisdom is one lever that opens the door of greatness. Seek wisdom from the Wise One. Engaging the thoughts of God in the bible produces wisdom for life. Seek wisdom and everything will soon fall in place.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
