Seeking Godly Wisdom

-
Ever wondered how you can grow in wisdom? There are different kinds of wisdom, but the focus today is on godly wisdom. The primary source of godly wisdom is the Bible. Suffice to say that with the help of the Holy Spirit, wisdom-seeking Christians are led into a deeper understanding of God’s word when they seek it with their whole heart. The word of God says in ‭‭

Jeremiah‬ ‭29:13‬, “Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” AMP‬‬. 

Now, there are several other ways God gives us wisdom. Through our own and others’ daily life experiences. But I always have to point out that any knowledge or wisdom derived from such experiences must align with God’s word. 

Knowing God intimately requires a commitment that involves setting aside a time to meet Him daily to commune with Him. Even when we have dates with our loved ones we set a special time to do this. God desires that we set a special time daily to sit at His feet and know him. Every other thing in our lives will fall in place once we put God first in all we do.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as I commit to seeking you daily, grant me godly wisdom in order to be all that you created me to be. Amen!

Affliction Shall Not Rise A Second Time

-
The last few weeks of 2017 has been rough for my family, both at the physical and spiritual levels. In a bid to unravel the root cause of one of the many issues I was dealing with, which seemed like a repetitive cycle, I prayed and asked God to reveal why I was facing this particular issue again. God seemed silent, and so I wondered if it was due to something I had done wrong. A scripture came to mind after spending time in prayer. But I couldn't recall where in the Bible to locate this scripture. What I remember was, " this affliction shall not resurrect a second tim e." Typically, I would google a phrase from what I recall to see if I could locate it. However, in this instance, I didn't think much about it. After worrying about the situation and about God's silence for a while, I decided to commit to fasting and prayer. During the wait on God, the scripture came once again, but this time, through a sermon. The sermon was one preached by the late Archbishop Bens...

Overcoming the Lust of the Eyes

-
One scripture that has had a profound impact on my life since I gave my life to Jesus Christ, is 1 John 2:15-17. We read: 1Jn 2:15-17 KJV (15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (16)   For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. At the age of about 12 years, my young but curious mind longed to know the heart of the Father and live to please Him. So for a while, after I chanced upon this scripture, I panicked. This was because I had become so accustomed to being dependent on many things of the world to the extent that to me, there was a very thin line between ‘love’ and ‘need’ for those worldly things. Notice that the scripture mentions three types of temptations th...

Unlocking God's blessings

-
In my walk with the Lord over the last 27 years, I have come to understand certain key principles about unlocking God's blessings in our lives. I believe that these key principles, though not exhaustive, are necessary for every believer to know and understand, as we navigate life here on earth. I have often come across Christians who tell me, "I have prayed every kind of prayer but no sign of God's blessings." If you are one of those then come along with me as we review God's word especially in this critical area for the believer.  Prayer First, I would like to point out that while prayer is very important in the life of a believer, unlocking God's blessings goes beyond prayer. It is important for the believer in Christ to understand that the keys for unlocking God's blessings can be revealed only when we ask the Holy Spirit to lead us in finding them in the hidden treasures of God's word. I have made it a practice to ask the Holy Spirit to r...
