WISDOM IS WHAT WE NEED, NOT MORE ANOINTING



WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING 
Prov 3:13 “Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding”.
      Wisdom is simply making right choices. It entails being at the right place at the right time with the right people doing the right thing. The end result of wisdom is the fulfillment of one’s expectations and happiness. Wisdom is a divine virtue emanating from a personal intercourse with the spirit of God. Wisdom is supreme . It is the binding force of joyful relationships and guarantees sustainability in businesses and communities that is why the scriptures says  Prov 4:7” Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding”.
     Most individuals neglect the indispensability of wisdom in their relationships and set out to build their marriages, relationships on other virtues such as love .We may feel good for a while but soon pay the price for neglecting wisdom. One of the ironies of life is that more people get hurt and are destroyed in the pursuit of love more than anything thing else. It is those persons you love most that hurt you most. True sustaining love is the reward one experiences for acting wisely Prov 24:26AMP” He kisses the lips [and wins the hearts of men] who give a right answer” A home is not first built on love but on wisdom and understanding Prov 24:3 ‘ Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established’  A marriage , business , relationship has a better chance at standing the test of time when those involved chose to make wisdom the centre of their affection .
        Wisdom is a person, a spiritual life- giving force  as revealed  in Luke 11:49 "Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute."  We are told that Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the wisdom of God therefore whenever He spoke , it was the wisdom of God speaking. When a man receives Christ as lord and saviour and welcomes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit into his heart, automatically, he has access to the wisdom of God. The Holy Ghost gives us spiritual thoughts which translates into spiritual life- changing words when spoken(1 Cor. 2:13). One of the proofs of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian is the tremendous amount of wisdom such a person possesses.
          A person who has not received the holy Ghost’s baptism as in (Acts2:4,Acts19:2-6) may experience some degree  of knowledge and understanding but it is incomparable with what we receive through the Holy Ghost baptism. Most of what is exhibited in our churches is more of man’s wisdom that is why lives aren’t being changed. Earthly wisdom is characterized by jealousy, envy, selfish ambition, rivalry, pride, defiance of truth, superficiality , animalism and is demonic( James3:14-15) .The wisdom of God is powerful and life transforming and key to living the victorious Christian life.  As you read this may your life be evident of the manifestation of the wisdom of God in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
