True Wealth

Day 123


Reading: 2 Chronicles 8:1 - 2 Chronicles 11:23


What do we need to see the world change? What will make the world yearn for the gifts, talents, wisdom of the children of God? Those are some questions that constantly run through my mind. We are to be solution providers or problem solvers yet most believers today cannot say that is true of them.

Solomon was blessed with wisdom, a heart of understanding. God gave him wisdom that no other king was comparable to Him. Kings sought him out to hear his wisdom. No enigma was too hard for him. Solomon had the comprehension of matters that exceeded what was known. The Queen of Sheba arrived with some of the toughest questions and she was stunned by what she heard and saw of Solomon's kingdom. How many are amazed at what God has done for us? We should attract the world like Solomon did because we have answers to the challenges that the world is facing.

God gave Solomon wealth as well. Silver was not even classed as a precious metal during King Solomon's reign. Gold was common implying that during Solomon's reign wealth was not in short supply. Jerusalem must have been a very affluent place during his reign. All of this because a man decided to follow God and asked for wisdom to govern the people under him.

This has made me realise that wealth is not gold or money. It's wisdom. Wisdom will open doors that jewels can't open. Wisdom will give what money cannot give. A wise person will govern a nation and will soon become very wealthy. Wisdom will cause your light to shine far and wide. Wisdom will cause nations to discuss you and bring many to hear you. Wisdom is not easily passed on from one generation to another. Rehoboam was the son of Solomon and because of his unwise choice, the Kingdom of Israel was divided into two. Wisdom helps keep a united front.

Child of God let's desire wisdom. Let us pursue divine wisdom more than ever. Divine wisdom will help solve many of the challenges the world is facing. May God raise men and women full of wisdom that this world may truly say that there is a God and His name is the Only Wise God.

Memory Verse: 2 Chronicles 8:16


Decree:


Lord give me wisdom that I may govern the people under me. Give me wisdom that I may provide answers to the nations of this world and bring glory to You.

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 ...
