OPEN HEAVENS. DEVOTION,WEDNESDAY 30th OCTOBER ,2013. TOPIC: THE WISE CHAMPION. MEMORISE: Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD,and depart from evil. Proverbs 3:7. READ: Proverbs 3:5-7. A divine champion is the one made wise by God. Daniel 2:20-21 says it is God who gives wisdom to the wise. This means that every truly wise fellow is indebted to God who is the source of wisdom. No wonder Proverbs 3:5 says: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding.. If Ɣøμ̥ want to be wise,Ɣøμ̥ must be ready to set aside what Ɣøμ̥ know,what Ɣøμ̥ have been taught and even what Ɣøμ̥ have experienced in other to receive the wisdom from above. A divine champion recognises how frail he or she is; he also knows how limited in knowledge he is. One reason we fail to let God into our plans is because we believe we know what to do. If verse 7 of our reading is anything to go by,it is that whenever Ɣøμ̥ come before God,Ɣøμ̥ must put aside what know so that Ɣøμ̥ can receive what He knows. Even if Ɣøμ̥ feel Ɣøμ̥ have the best approach to solving a particular problem,still tell Him about the problem and about the method Ɣøμ̥ know could be used in solving it. Thereafter,acknowledge His unlimited knowledge and wisdom,and humbly ask for the best approach to the issue on ground. In John 6:37, Jesus says He does not cast out those who come to Him. James 1:5 says If any of Ɣøμ̥ lack wisdom,let him ask of God,that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.. Everyone saved or unsaved has a measure of wisdom he or she was given by God. Today,some people think they are wise when they begin to create,invent or design things: No! It was given to Ɣøμ̥ by God. It was given out of His general wisdom. God still has the special type of wisdom that is accessible only to His children. To receive such,Ɣøμ̥ must be born- again,fear God and flee from sin; Ɣøμ̥ must study Gods word intensively because it contains unlimited wisdom that can help Ɣøμ̥ in all areas of life. Thereafter,ask in faith for wisdom and Ɣøμ̥ will be given. Without wisdom,Ɣøμ̥ can never truly be a divine champion. Have Ɣøμ̥ asked of wisdom from the Lord? PRAYER POINT: Father,give me wisdom to excel and be above board in every area of my life. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 4-6. Goodmrn, have a wonderful day.
