THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 7 episode 1

BY WISDOM A HOUSE IS BUILT

Many people desire a great and successful life but not many apply wisdom in order to get there. It is wisdom that takes you to the great life. Even in the literal world it takes wisdom to build a physical house.

Everyone's life is a building under construction. Everyone is building his life consciously or not. And how well, strong and resilient your life becomes depends on how you build it. If you build by wisdom it will pass the test of time and the storm of life. 

God Himself built the world through wisdom. 
Proverbs 3:19-20 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
Everything that God created or made He did by wisdom, knowledge and understanding. These three are relatives. Knowledge is the root, understanding is the illumination or comprehension, and wisdom is the reality of one's knowledge and understanding. Your wisdom reveals your knowledge and understanding. In other words wisdom is expression or practicality of knowledge. When knowledge is in operation it is called wisdom. 

By wisdom God laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding He set the heavens in place; by His knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
You find people whose lives have no foundations, nothing set in place in their lives, no separation from the unwanted and their clouds do not let drop dews. Why? Lack of the application of wisdom.

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR LIFE

Read Proverbs 24:3-4 "By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures."

You don't have to look further to know why some people's lives are not built, not established and not filled with rare and beautiful treasures. The answer is in the above scripture you just read. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding are paramount to living a glorious and successful life.

You should build your life by wisdom; it's imperative. What is wisdom? We did define wisdom earlier in the book. We will define it here again. Wisdom is reality. A man's reality is his wisdom; what he could see and apply in his life is his wisdom. Then we have God's wisdom. God's wisdom is God's reality; what He sees and communicates to us in His Word for us to apply in our lives. God's wisdom is God's Word, and that is the Truth -- the true state of things. 

When people look at your life through human wisdom they see an outward or human state of things but when you look at your life through the wisdom of God you see the true state of things; how things are in your life before God. And that's what matters, and that's the wisdom you should live by.

So build your life by God's wisdom; in the light of how things are before Him; the true state of things, the true reality. It might be said that things doesn't go well where you started your business. But what does God's wisdom say? Joshua 1:3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
This is God's wisdom concerning your business and where it is situated. He said to bless you wherever you set your foot (your business) and it doesn't matter what have been said about the place. God's word is the final say. 

Build your life by His Wisdom, be established through His understanding and fill your life with rare and beautiful treasures through His knowledge.

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. The scripture says Grace and Peace can be multiplied unto you through your knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord. Consc
