 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that accept understanding shall find good' (Proverbs 19:8).

The wisdom from God  brings peace and prosperity to one's life, and is freely offered to all by God.
When we ask God for wisdom, He will grant it unto us. He said that if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...and it shall be given him (James 1:5).
In getting wisdom we love our own soul, but if we reject the offer of wisdom it is to love death.
We are told to love wisdom: and with all our getting, get understanding (Prov 4:7).
King Solomon the wisest man described wisdom as, "...More precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her"
Proverbs 3:15).
In getting wisdom we need to humble ourselves and fear God.
Dedicated yourself to learning and God will grant you the power of right judgment. That is, knowing what you can do in any situation that arises.
Let us seek to also accept understanding by hiding God's Word in our hearts, apply it to every situation and consistently meditate upon it.
Each of us who is in Christ, need a wise and understanding heart, like King Solomon.  A heart to know and fear God; to keep His written Words and apply them to our everyday life. A heart that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in.
Let us prepare our minds and be desirous of getting wisdom. In having a heart that knows and fear God, takes consistent prayer. We must pray for and claim it, by utilising every means to accomplish it. We must strive to hold fast to the instructions of God and keep it, that we can find good. Let us be committed and intentional as we abide by the doctrines of the Gospel of Christ and not depart from it.
Let our life be in Christ, that we can experience His peace and love; to receive joy and comfort in this world of sin.
We must endeavour to look forward to the day we can spend eternity with Christ in the world to come, giving glory and honour to him, as we experience happiness and eternal life.

Have a  wonderful day

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...
