Your Devotional Message for 25th November
Scripture:
In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
Explanation:
We will continue in our Daily Meditation today, day 25 of 30 days of our series called living ‘the Higher spiritual life in Christ Jesus’ in which we have been called. We will meditate on scriptures that pertain to acquiring the supernatural wisdom. There is an earthly wisdom of men and the wisdom of God from above. In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
Jesus Christ was filled with the wisdom of God:
Jesus Christ was filled with the wisdom of God that became evident to eyewitnesses. And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him (Luke 2:40). Not only that Jesus was filled with wisdom of God, but Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men (Luke 2:52). Jesus Christ became for us the wisdom of God. This follows the Prophecy of Isaiah. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2). But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Wisdom is more precious that Gold and silver. You need wisdom to live a higher life in Christ.
To experience the higher manifestations of the life in Christ Jesus, for greater works, healings, deliverance, signs and wonder supernaturally you need to the Word of God which is the wisdom of God. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God that gives Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. With your wisdom and your understanding, you have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; by your great wisdom in trade, you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted because of your riches ( Ezekiel 28:4-5,
NKJV). Wisdom of God is important in dealing with various affairs of life especially Leadership, Excellence, Great achievements, Business, and finances.
Examples of great men of God with Wisdom
The life of Solomon:
And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.Thus, Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt (1 King 4:29-30, NKJV). Solomon’s wealth was exceedingly great, and the Proverbs and Songs of Solomon were other examples of a man with wisdom.
Gifted artisans:
So, you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest (Exodus 28:3, NKJV).
The life of Bezalel and Aholiab:
And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship (Exodus 31:3-5, 36:1-2, NKJV).
The life of Daniel (Belteshazzar); Hananiah (Shadrach); Mishael (Meshach); and Azariah (Abed-Nego):And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm (Daniel 1:20).
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
Today, let me challenge you that Jesus Christ has paid the price and wants you to be his disciple. If you are yet to receive Christ Jesus, do so today by repenting from all your sins and accept Him as Your Lord and saviour.
Thanks be to God for His fullness, grace and His victory. Glory be to God!
In the Month of November 2021, do not miss any day as we meditate on ‘Higher Spiritual life in Christ’
Faith Confession of the Month:
Our Father, thank you, for another day. I shall be glad and rejoice in You. Thank you for salvation, divine health, grace and glory, provision, protection, and supernatural ability at work in me. And I declare boldly that I am aglow and strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom of God; and the grace of God is upon me (Luke 2:40). The Holy Spirit is my Senior Partner. I operate in the Higher dimension of the spirit through the Word of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit. I have the glory of God. I declare that my spiritual ears, eyes,and other spiritual senses are exercised for His divine revelations.
It is written, “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (1 Corinthians 2:4).Behold, I receive the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I operate with the great grace and Mighty Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles, signs, and wonders. The word of God is in my mouth and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit, soul, and body. I am manifesting the great power of God. I rule over Satan and his cohort of darkness with the Fire of the Holy Ghost. I prosper in my spirit, soul, and body. My life is flourishing in all areas of life as well as my health even as my soul prospers. Success, wealth, financial abundance and victory are mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Glory be to God!
