Post navigation OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL Monday 21th October ACQUIRE WISDOM Posted on October 21, 2013 Memorise: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:5-9 Besides fearing God, a divine midwife must also be wise. It is possible to work hard & not work smart. When there is an assignment to be done & there is not enough wisdom to do the work,it could be boring, laborious, take longer time & bring about a lot of wastage & even injury. For instance, in Exodus 18:17-23, Moses who was highly anointed & very hard-working, did not work smart for lack of wisdom. God had to use his father-in-inlaw to give him the wisdom he required & from that moment, the work became easier & he could find sometime to rest & thereby prolong his life. Hard work is good but working smart is better. Many people who worked hard without working smart have had to die before their time. Jethro was a wise man. He applied certain principles of doing work in other to achieve greater productivity at lesser costs. He was also ready to share principles. There is nothing wrong wit enrolling for leadership courses that will enhance your productivity. Some people will ask: ‘What will they teach there? Is it not worldly wisdom?’ Thank God for the Bible, yet, there are certain principles that have been tried in secular businesses that will equally be beneficial in the Kingdom. To be on top, there is need to continue to improve your skills & knowledge. Try things a bit different from how you normally do them. You must be ready to accept change. In addition to secular seminars & training programmes, you can ask God for wisdom in a specific area. You can read up books on finance, savings & investments to boost your knowledge in that area. You can go on the internet to download information. We live in the information age and it will be most tragic to be without information during dis age. KEY POINT: Every good and healthy knowledge you acquire can also be utilised in a beneficial way in God’s Kingdom
