Get Wisdom

Welcome to Sunday Special Edition. Wisdom is said to be the principal thing, that is the most important thing. Furthermore, wisdom is one of the things we are to seek as Christians. Therefore, today I will be sharing on Ten steps to gain Godly Wisdom.

#1. Fear God (Psalm 111 vs.10). The fear of God is to be in reverential awe of God. Reverencing Him in all that you do is a platform to access Godly Wisdom

#2. Please God. Ecclesiastic 2 vs.26. When you please God by the way you order your life and the things you do, wisdom will be released unto you.

#3. Hear God. Proverbs 2 vs.16. You don't say God doesn't speak to you when your bible is closed. God speaks and He speaks all the time. Just like a transmitting station and a radio, you must tune your spirit to pick God's voice.

#4. Look to God. Proverbs 3 vs. 13. When you are confused or in need, the first person to turn to is not man but God. Those that look to God are more enlightened than those that look to men. 

#5. Choose God's Way. Proverbs 8 vs. 10-11. His ways are revealed in His word. The more you walk in the Word, the wiser you become. 

#6. Be Humble before God. Proverbs 11 vs.2. God is not ready to bestow wisdom on the proud. But on the humble; grace and wisdom are released. 

#7. Take God's Advice. Proverbs 13: 10. God's advice often comes from the mouth of people He has placed over you or around you. Following godly counsel or advice brings not just wisdom but safety too

#8. Receive God's Correction. Proverbs 29:15. The way God corrects us is via His word. His Word is the Rod of His correction. So anytime you are reproved by the Word, take it joyfully as it is working in you godly wisdom.

#9. Pray to God. Ephesians 1 vs.17. We can ask God for Wisdom and He will give it to us, His word says 'All that asketh receiveth...' Don't stop asking for it, it can be never be too much.

#10. Know the Son of God. 1 Corinthians 1:30. Christ is Our wisdom and He dwells in us that knows Him. So if you don't know Him personally you have to, so as to gain access to Godly Wisdom.

Career Fulfilment

Many of us work an average of eight (8) hours a day five (5) days a week between the age of 18 to 65. The amazing fact about this is that we spend a total of 100,000 hours of our lifetime working. Can you then imagine doing something that doesn’t give you fulfilment? One of the keys to career fulfilment therefore is to enjoy what you're doing. It's burdensome to be doing what you don't like or created to do. It's totally frustrating and time wasting. And that's the reason many people are not productive in their work. When I said productive, I'm not talking about acquiring material possessions because even some that engage doing what they don't enjoy doing have been able to acquire cars, built houses and have the 'toys of life'. Productivity here is mind creativity; a sense of fulfilment, a sense of joy that comes from doing what you are wired or created to do.  This is the difference between those working to make a living and those working to make ...

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series.  I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply.  You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are.  Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...
