Revelation of the Word:

THEME: VALUE OF WISDOM

Matthew 7:24-27 NKJV

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

INSIGHT

–Jesus gives an illustration contrasting two foundations for life. One is lived according to His teaching, the other is living according to the flesh. Foundations matter a lot, both in construction and in the way a person views the world. Those who follow Jesus’ teaching are like a wise man who built a house on a rock which is the recommendation to all.

SUMMARY

Wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. It is the supernatural ability to use the written and inspired word of God to make accurate decisions and provide solutions to life’s problems. Godly wisdom is the capacity to view things on God’s view point and be able to respond to them as per the scripture. Wisdom is classified into four categories:- earthly, sensual, demonic and Godly wisdom (James 3:13-17). Children require to be disciplined which instills in them wisdom from God lest the parents suffer shame (Proverbs 29:15). Wisdom is more precious than gold, silver or any precious metal or jewelry (Job 28:15-23). Wisdom originates and it founded on the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 1:7). Solomon loved the Lord and walked according to His statutes. Solomon requested for wisdom and the Lord also blessed him with honor, riches, peace and long life (1 Kings 3:3-12).

PRAYER

 Lord You are the only Giver and Originator of wisdom. May You touch our hearts and fill us with Your divine wisdom. May You anoint us afresh and fill our hearts with Your fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control. May You guide us in Your ways and grant us grace to always do Your divine will. May You wash us with Your precious blood and sanctify us through and through dear Jesus. May You open double doors for us and grant us peace and prosperity in every sphere of our lives. May You bless us abundantly so that in all things at all times having all that we need, we may abound in every good work. May You bless us and keep us dear Jesus. May You shine Your face towards us and be gracious unto us. May You show Your countenance unto us and give us peace. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forevermore. Amen.
