Scripture:
How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver (Proverbs 16:16).
Explanation:
In today Daily Meditation, day 18 of 31 days we will meditate on the scriptures relating toour new series the Keys for success in 2022’-The place of Wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
In the scripture, the Wisdom of God is the Word of God that proceeded from God. The book of Genesis to Revelation contains the Wisdom of God. God Himself found the Earth and Heavens by His Wisdom and Knowledge. The Lord is the giver of Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God that gives Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding.
The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; by His knowledge, the depths were broken up, and clouds drop down the dew. My son, let them not depart from your eyes, keep sound wisdom and discretion; o they will be life to your soul and grace to your neck (Proverbs 3:19-22, NKJV). Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth (Proverbs 4:5, NKJV).
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding has all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever (Psalm 111:10, NKJV).
But happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, In her left-hand riches and honour (Proverbs 3: 13-16, NKJV).
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.
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him (James 1:5).
Finally, my prayer is that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him to excel and succeed this year (Ephesians 1:17)
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
Today, let me challenge you that Jesus Christ came for your salvation and to give you freely Eternal life. If you are yet to receive Christ, do so today by repentance from all your sins and confessJesus Christ as Your Lord and saviour.
Glory be to God!
In the Month of January, stay connected as we meditate on ‘Keys for success in 2022’
Faith Confession of the Month:
Our Father, thank you, for another new year and a new day. I shall be glad and rejoice in You. Thank you for my salvation, divine health, grace and glory, provision, protection, eternal life,and supernatural ability at work in me. I declare boldly that I am aglow and strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom, knowledge and understanding; 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 power through the Word of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit. I have victoried every day of my life.
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. 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 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.
Prayer Points:
1. Thank You Father forJesus Christ is my wisdom, Knowledge and understanding
2. Fill me Lord with the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation. 3.I ask for wisdom to deal with every affair of my life.
