SPIRIT OF WISDOM

SPIRIT OF WISDOM I Corinthians 2:6-10 Devotional:- “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory” (V.7) NKJV      The mind of every man is created to operate wisdom even at the level of common sense. This is one of the reasons why many are poor. The reason why this is so is that most human beings do not know how to empower their mind for wisdom with the right and quality information. They rather believe that life is all about making do with everything that comes their way. Wrong information and association have made many minds dull (Proverbs 13:20).

ASKING AMISS

ASKING AMISS

SCRIPTURE: JAMES 4:1-6
DEVOTIONAL:- “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures” (Vs. 3).

    One of the reasons some believers ask and not receive is that they ask amiss. To ask amiss is to ask with a wrong or negative motive. Our intention cannot be hidden from the Lord. Though, we are human, God remains God. The flesh in us sometimes want to have worldly pleasures and it is not wrong. It is only wrong when it is contrary to the purpose of God because it becomes a sin afterwards.

Pleasure mentality makes a man irresponsible. Most of the sinful acts in our community today are perpetrated in the quest for pleasure. This is the reason why some people engage in extra marital affairs. The truth is that, as children of God, we are created for His pleasure as well as the things of the kingdom (Rev. 4:11).

Friend, always x-ray your motives before you ask God for anything in prayer, so that your prayers will not be hindered. Whatever you are asking for, whether in your life, family, work, church, etc. the motive should be to use it for the glory of God. Everything you do should be done to bring glory to God (1 Cor. 10:31). As you do that, your prayers will always be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always have the right heart before you

“THE BEAUTY OF PRAYER IS THE ANSWER”.
