PROFITABLE TO DIRECT 3

PROFITABLE TO DIRECT 3
This trend of wisdom continues in this write up. Wisdom is the ability to apply relevant knowledge is an insightful way. It is the ability to know and apply it. Wisdom is profitable. Wisdom is worth having. Wisdom is paramount. Wisdom is indispensable. Wisdom is requisite. James 1 vs.5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. GOD is always ready to give men bountifully supply of wisdom, provided it’s for a good reason; he won’t resent from giving it out.  Some ask GOD for wisdom just to intimidate others. Asking GOD for wisdom must be for a good reason. To have wisdom is to apply knowledge; to obtain knowledge is by studying GOD’s word and wisdom by meditating upon that knowledge. Joshua 1 vs. 8: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy ways prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Meditating and observing all that is written in the bible brings wisdom. GOD’s wisdom will be evident on such life. No wonder the Psalmist said in Psalm 119 vs. 96-100: Nothing is perfect except your words. Oh, how I love them. I think about them all day long. They make me wiser than my enemies because they are my constant guide. Yes, wiser than my teachers, for I am ever thinking of your rules. They make even me wiser than the aged. That is wisdom!

              Daniel one of the Jewish captive in Babylon made up his mind not to eat the food and wine given to them by the king. He suggested he, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah be served on only vegetables and water; which the steward agreed. That is GOD’s wisdom, men’s wisdom would have taken the kings wine and meat; but they choose not to defile themselves with the king’s meat and wine. With the vegetables and water they were healthier, better nourished than the other youths who had been eating the food supplied by the king. No wonder they were ten times better than all in the king’s realm. Daniel 1 vs. 17: As for these four children, GOD gave the knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Daniel, Mishael, Azariah and Hananiah never turned from what GOD’s word said, they hated false way. Psalm 119 vs. 104: And since only your rules can give me wisdom and understanding, no wonder I hate every false teaching. Let’s apply GOD’s words in all we do and never turn from it. It continues tomorrow. It is well with us…

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
