Revelation of the Word

THEME: POWER OF WISDOM

2 Chronicles 1:10-12 NIV

“Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

INSIGHT

-Having been given a blank cheque, king Solomon exhibited utmost selflessness. He did not choose honor, wealth, possessions, long life or death of his enemies but wisdom to enable him rule the people justly. It seems like he was already discerning having made this choice. How many among us would choose wisdom over all these options, would you ? Since his request pleased the Lord, he was given all these blessings. Through wisdom, he was able to rule the people with prudence and the fear of the Lord. The purpose for which he was called was then fulfilled without much difficulty. True wisdom will give spiritual life, and strengthen men and women for the service for which the Lord has called us to fulfill here on earth.

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus Your mercies are new each morning. May You have mercy on us and on the whole world. May Your grace abound in us dear Jesus. May You vindicate us by Your merciful love Oh Lord our God. We know that in all things work for the good of those who love You Lord, and been called according to Your purpose. We love You Lord and exult Your name, thank You for loving us first. We have experienced Your love through and through, all our lives, we have experienced Your grace over our lives. May You fill us with Your wisdom that we may achieve the purposes for which You have called us. May You help us to fight the good fight, to finish the race, and keep the faith. May You breath afresh in us dear Jesus that we may hunger for You more and more. As a deer pants for streams of water so our souls thirst for You Lord Jesus. May You guide us in all our coming in and going out. We bless Your name and honor You, and it is in Jesus mighty name we pray trusting and believing. Amen
