Wisdom For Overcoming Temptation

Do you find yourself doing things you desire not to be doing? Do you fall into temptations? Good news, there is wisdom for overcoming temptation! This post explains how you can overcome temptations and do the right things at the right times.

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak – Matthew 26:41 (NKJV).

That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man – Ephesians 3:16 (NKJV).

Living ‘The Faith’ should not be a struggle for Christian believers. However, many Christians say it’s difficult to live as Christians on earth and so are always in despair each time they fall into sin or temptation. They truly desire to always do the right thing, but their flesh will always compel them to do the wrong thing. The temptation to say, think or do the wrong things will surely come, but you don’t have to enter into it. God has made provisions for you not to fall into temptation. It’s left for you to take hold of the wisdom given and access these provisions.

Jesus and Peter

In Matthew 26:31-46, 69-75, Peter was too confident that he would not stumble because of Christ; even when Jesus told him that he would deny Him thrice, he still declared that though others deny Christ that he wouldn’t do so. However, when it was time to back up his bold declarations with prayers, sleep didn’t allow him to pray. The temptation to deny Christ came and Peter succumbed to it woefully. Peter’s spirit was willing but his flesh was weak. Read more...

Holy Communion-The Wisdom Of God For Total Health Spirit, Soul And Body

What is Holy Communion to you? Your understanding of what it is and its benefits will determine the place you will give it in your life. It is more than small bread and drink taken in the churches. It is the wisdom of God for your total health spirit, soul and body. This post gives you a better understanding of the importance of Holy Communion to a believer.

Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him – (John 6:53-56 NKJV).

For it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off’ – Leviticus 17:14 (NKJV).

The Holy Communion is a spiritual mystery that, when taken with understanding and faith, causes one to live above the natural realm.

What is Holy Communion?

It is bread and drink taken as the flesh and the blood of Jesus respectively. It was instituted by Jesus Christ Himself and was also encouraged by Him to be taken in remembrance of Him (Luke 22:19, I Corinthians 11:24-25). It is the new covenant in Christ’s blood, which was shed for all (Luke 22:20). It is the life of Jesus, the life of all flesh is its blood (Leviticus 17:14). It is fellowship with Christ in His flesh and blood. It is the wisdom of God through which we enjoy the life of Jesus in us. It can be taken as often as you want, the disciples were taking it daily (Acts 2:46). Read more...

Prosper In All Things As Your Soul Prospers

Do you desire to prosper in all things? It is the will of God that you prosper in all things and He has given us the wisdom on how to actualize this in our lives, which is to prosper first in our souls. This post aims at emphasizing the need to prosper in your soul if you desire to be prosperous in all things.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers – 3 John 2 (NKJV).

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you – Matthew 6:33 (NKJV).

God has no problem prospering His children; all He wants is for their souls to prosper. This is because the prosperity of your soul not only guarantees your blessings on earth but also eternal life in heaven, which is more important to God. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul? Furthermore, where your treasure is determines where your heart will be. What do you treasure most in life?

The level of our prosperity in all things is dependent on the level to which our souls prosper. You determine the speed and the extent to which you prosper in all things, including your health. Therefore, your prosperity is not determined in reality on the circumstances around you.

What does it mean for your soul to prosper?

Your soul prospers as you walk in the truth and in the love of God, as you walk in the knowledge of God’s word. The word of God is the lamp unto your feet and light unto your path (Psalm 119:105). It shows you where to step on and gives you a bright and clear view of the path you are treading on. You can’t miss it following the word of God. Your soul comprises your will, intellect and emotions; how much these align with the word of God determine the extent to which your soul prospers.

How to prosper your soul and how it affects your all round prosperity

1. Study the word of God (2 Timothy 2:15)

The bible (word of God) is the manual for a successful living on earth. Studying the word of God gives you the wisdom keys for success in life. It gives you access to the creator’s mindset that helps you not to tow the wrong path. It reveals your own success path and teaches you how to maintain and increase your success stories. Studying the word of God is rubbing minds with the only wise God. It shows you how to prosper in all things including your health. Read more...

Seed time And Harvest

Are you weary of waiting for your harvest? Harvest always follows seedtime and every seed is sown with an expectation of a harvest. Seed time and harvest is a spiritual law that has been in operation since creation. This article states the reason why this law can never falter.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease – Genesis 8:22 (KJV)

As long as the earth is still here, harvest is sure. Whatever you sow, you will reap, whether good or bad.  Therefore, always sow what you desire to harvest. You may tell me that you sowed good seeds but you are yet to receive your harvest. Be perfectly assured that it is still coming.

The God of the harvest, creator of the universe and the enactor of this spiritual law watches over His word to ensure that it is fulfilled. Seed time and harvest is a potent force that works either for good or bad, even if it is delayed. God is the reason why this law can never falter.

God never fails nor changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He does what He says. He says what He means and means what He says. He is the one that converts the seeds to harvest over a period of time. God is faithful. Furthermore, He showed us an example when He gave His Son Jesus for the world, and reaped and is still reaping a multitude of saints. What a potent force! Seed time and harvest shall not cease.

Investing Into Your Account In Heaven

Do you desire to be free from poverty or to have more than enough to give others? This is a good desire but it will take God if what you want is ‘riches without sorrow’. It will take sowing into your account in heaven so you can draw from it without sorrows. This is wisdom for enduring abundance. This post tells you how to invest into your heaven’s account.

Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:15-19 (NKJV, emphasis mine).

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal – Matthew 6:19-20 (NKJV).

Many People are tired of their financial state; they have done so many things only to get little or no result. They have spent time, energy and money pursing money only for money to keep running from them with greater speed. This truly can be frustrating and depressing. But there is a better way to draw money to you and ensure you have enough to also give to people.

Christ admonished that we should lay up our treasures in heaven where they can be preserved and secured; where moth, rust and thieves cannot get hold of them. This talks about sowing into your account in heaven. This guarantees supplies as and when due. This is God's wisdom for unlimited supply of blessings.

The Heaven’s Accounts

Times Of Silence - Wisdom For Fewer Faults In Life

Do you always say everything you want to say? Sometimes, things are better left unspoken. These unspoken words may determine the state of relationships, the feelings or health of others, and your position between sin and righteousness, if spoken. This post stresses that it is wisdom to observe times of silence.

“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise - Proverbs 10:19 (NKJV).

This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” - John 8:6-7 (NKJV).

Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly - Matthew 27:11-12, 14 (NKJV).

There is time for everything, including time to speak and time to be quiet. Many times people think that it is okay to say everything the way it is in their heart. Some people think that they must win an argument and so they keep talking, justifying their points and themselves. Some others just like talking and talking. However, just as the scripture says in Proverbs 10:19, in the multitude of words sin is not lacking. Anyone who is able to restrain his or her lips is wise. Observing times of silence will help one to speak fewer words. The person will be able to control his words by first checking the words in his heart, and then choosing the ones to say and the ones to leave unsaid. Read more...

The Master's Wisdom Walk On Earth

Who doesn't need wisdom? Wisdom is the principal thing and having her gives you the greatest asset ever. Everyone needs her to successfully live on earth and afterwards have eternal life in heaven. Jesus needed wisdom to walk successfully on earth and to fulfil His destiny. This post considers the Master's wisdom walk while on earth.

And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men - Luke 2:40, 52 (NKJV).

And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! - Mark 6:2 (NKJV).

Wisdom is an important key to victorious living and the Lord had to embrace her too. Jesus Christ came into this world as a baby and grew like a normal child. One of the major virtues He had to acquire as He grew was wisdom. He was first filled with wisdom, but He didn't stop there, He had to increase in wisdom as He grew. He knew that wisdom was a virtue He must build on consistently for Him to fulfil His purpose on earth.

Let's consider some of the Master's wisdom walk while on earth

Relationship with parents

Jesus knew who He was as a child but wisdom taught Him to obey His parents, following their instructions. When He was twelve He stayed back at Jerusalem after the feast to be about His Father's business, however, when His parents found Him, He returned with them and was subject to them without any challenge (Luke 2:49-51).
