THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 1 episode 1

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM

Wisdom will begin to work in and through you and produce results when you fear the Lord. Yes wisdom begin with the fear of the Lord. If you find a person who is not wise in the ways of God you find a person who has no fear of the Lord.

Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
He says there is no God. He doesn't acknowledge God nor have regard for or fear of Him. Consequently he became corrupt, his deeds are vile, he does no good. Because he has no fear of the Lord. It takes the fear of the Lord to walk in the ways of the Lord.

Psalms 14:2-3 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
It takes the fear of the Lord to do good. It takes the fear of the Lord to understand and seek God. If you find people who do not understand nor seek God you find people who do not fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and it is wisdom to fear the Lord. He who fears the Lord is wise. 

FEAR THE LORD AND BE WISE
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Knowledge of God gives understanding.
If you ever found yourself being unproductive or that your ideas and endeavours didn't produce results ask yourself if you fear the Lord. Wisdom won't begin to work in you and produce results for you if don't have the fear of the Lord.

If you ever find yourself making terrible mistakes ask yourself if you fear the Lord. Terrible mistake is an indication of the absence of wisdom. And wisdom only begin to operate in a person's life with the fear of the Lord.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD is reverence and worship, giving and service. The fear of the Lord is not terror of the Lord. The Lord is not a terrorist. 
If you have reference (awe) for the Lord you have fear of the Lord. If you worship God in spirit and truth, and with your substance (tithe and offerings) you have fear of the Lord. If you give for His work; for the preaching of the Gospel and expansion of the Kingdom you have fear of the Lord. If you serve in preaching the Gospel and serve in your local church you have fear of the Lord. These mentioned are some of the ways to express reverential fear of the Lord. If you lack these wisdom is not operational in your life.

ADDED YEARS
Proverbs 9:11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.

When you fear the Lord and wisdom begins to work in you it will lead you on the right path where your days and years won't be cut short. Wisdom prolong your years. Living in wisdom is living in the will of God. As you live in His will your years according to His will is guaranteed. 
Wisdom helps you escape the arrows and wickedness of the enemy that would have cut short your years. Wisdom is a shield against the arrows of death; you take refuge in God's Word when you live by His wisdom. As you fear the Lord and live in wisdom years shall be added to your life.

WISDOM REWARDS
Proverbs 9:12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

Wisdom has an automatic reward system; it operates itself. All you need to do is fear the Lord and live in His wisdom and it will reward you. 
Wisdom produces results, those results are reward. The proceeds of wisdom are your reward for applying wisdom. Keep applying God's wisdom in your life and you will keep reaping the benefits thereof.

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION CONTENTS Chapter One -- CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL Chapter Two -- THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter Three -- HER MISSION Chapter Four -- IF SHE BECOMES YOUR WIFE Chapter Five -- A FALSE PROPHET INTRODUCTION In humility I write this book to the Man of God not to be unaware of the devices of the devil. 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. I write to remind the Man of God that one of the schemes of Satan against the servant of God is "The Daughter of Jezebel." Before talking about the Daughter of Jezebel, who is Jezebel?  THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal King of Sidon. Ahab the King of Israel married her which of course was against the Lord's instruction to Israel not to marry among the nations around them. She was mainly responsible for all the evil Ahab King of Israel committed in the sight of God. She killed many of the Lord's Prophets in Israel. She was a swor

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  When th

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive you, you fo

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL chapter 1 episode 1

EPISODE 1 CHAPTER 1 CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL SHE WAS NOT A JEW 1 Kings 16:30-31 Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. Jezebel was the Daughter of the King of Sidon. Ahab the King Israel took her to be his wife even though God had said to the Israelites not to inter-marry with non-Israelites. She came to Ahab with her customs, traditions and idols. She came among the Lord's people with all the practices of the land of Sidon. She brought their god baal to the land of Israel.  Being a Queen she had authority and influence, and not just that she was a Princess of Sidon. She was raised to dominate and lead. She never really learnt how to follow but only to be followed.  She refused to follow the laws and practices the Lord laid down for His people Israel t

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th OCTOBER 2023 INCREASE IN GRACE AND PEACE 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,(NIV) God has given everyone of us Grace and Peace in Christ. But how much of them we enjoy depends on our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Knowledge here refers to intimate knowledge which comes through relationship. The level of Grace and Peace we enjoy is directly connected to our relationship and fellowship with God. The deeper your relationship with Him the greater your peace and grace.  If you find yourself wanting peace or grace what you need is not prayer but a meditation on the Word and how it relates with you. You can choose to increase the Grace and Peace of God in your life by increasing your knowledge of, relationship and fellowship with God.
