Ask For Wisdom - Bro. T. Stephen

My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.  The blessed word that God has given for you today is from  Proverbs 2:6, ” For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding”.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above verse we understand that it is God who gives wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Today many youngsters for lack of wisdom and understanding have failed to do what is right.   Instead of loving their parents who have nurtured them and grown them with all the best they could, they run after wrong relationship. Job says, “I have made a covenant with my eyes, why then should I look upon a young woman.”But many youngsters have almost ruined their lives. They even go to the extent of committing suicide. 

They forget God,  who gives them wisdom and understanding. They set their eyes on vain things. David says, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things.’’ They lose track of themselves.  They fail to ask God for wisdom, instead they lean on their own understanding. They fail to acknowledge God who is willing to direct their paths.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters, If you have wisdom then your life will be many. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered and when you run, you will not stumble. In case there is a spirit of depression or deception in any members of your family, then the Lord will remove all such evil spirit that play havoc in their lives, and God will cause them to overcome depression and grant them peace, calmness,  serenity and deliverance from such evil clutches. God will redeem them and set them free. Some of you who are doing business,  for lack of wisdom have incurred great loss in your  business, but God will give you   wisdom  and understanding and thus  help you to make a big profit.  Remember that wisdom and understanding gives length of days, riches and honour. Wisdom helps you to be prudent. Those who seek wisdom will find it. For it causes them to inherit wealth in order to fill their treasures. Money is a shelter to many but wisdom preserves those who have it. But to obtain wisdom you must fear the Lord. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God bless you.

Prayer:

Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for helping us to understand the goodness of possessing wisdom. Teach us to know that wisdom gains riches and honour. Also we learn that wisdom leads to prudence. May we be diligent and wise in all our  dealings. In Jesus name we pray.

Amen.
