Wisdom Primary Requirement


If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Ecclesiastes 10:10. 

The more we conform to earthly things, the more we loose touch with divinity. Then we blunt that needs sharpening.
Things may not seem to be working, after trying all avenue. But, have you tried wisdom? The above text says, "wisdom is profitable to direct" that means it can direct our steps into the right path of life.
How do we get this wisdom? James 1:5, 
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." 
It means, God is the giver of wisdom, and he gives whomever ask of him. Have you ask him? 

God gives us wisdom through his Word. Example, He said, in Matthew 6:33, 
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Unfortunately, people want it the other way around by making the first last, and the last, first.
The Bible says in Proverbs 23:4, 
"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom." 
His wisdom is, kingdom first, then things will be additions, but we seek our own wisdom by putting things first. Then we keep asking the question, how did things got this bad? Or why are things not working?

Proverbs 4:7 says, 
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
There are three basic requirements to succeed in life, of which wisdom is the primary, the rest are; understanding and knowledge. But, man turn this backward again. By making knowledge first, understanding second, and in most cases there is no room for wisdom. They assume once you have knowledge and understanding, it's equally wisdom. No! Each have their place.
Proverbs 24:3-4 differentiate their offices/functions,
"Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: And by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches." this is clear in it context, if you meditate on it, you will get the clearer picture.

If the Holy Bible says, Wisdom is the primary requirement, IT IS! 
Doing anything outside of it, will bring frustration.
Moreover, "... unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER OF GOD, and the WISDOM OF GOD." 1 Corinthians 1:24. Wisdom speaking in Proverbs 8:18 says, "By me kings reign, and prince's decree justice." 

Have a wisdom-full week!

Jesus is Lord!

Mark E. Airononi

Scriptural reading: Job 28 and Proverbs 8.

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...
