Christ, The Power And Wisdom Of God

 

 

 

 

 

1 Corinthians 1:24 “To those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

People today run after two things: miraculous signs and wonders, and knowledge. It was no different in Bible times. The apostle Paul acknowledged that “Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom”. (1 Corinthians 1:22)

So when Paul preached Christ crucified as God’s solution to them, the message was “to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness”. (1 Corinthians 1:23) They didn’t understand how getting a revelation of Jesus and His death could give them the miracles they needed or the wisdom they wanted.

Beloved, we don’t have to run after miracles or wisdom today. We just need to run after Jesus because He is “The Power of God and The Wisdom of God”. The more we know Christ and Christ crucified, the more we will have the power and wisdom of God.

Several church members have shared how they have seen the power of God blast financial debts out of their lives. Not knowing what to do about their debts, they looked to the Lord to deliver them. And the Lord was able to do so mightily because He is indeed the power of God.

So if you are facing a financial debt, Christ has the power to remove the debt. And because He is also the wisdom of God, He will show you where you went wrong and teach you how to stay out of debt!

Let me give you another illustration. Let’s say a man, whose wife has left him, looks to Jesus to bring his wife back. Christ, the power of God, brings about a miraculous restoration of their marriage. But it is Christ, the wisdom of God, who will teach the husband how to keep his wife by showing him what he had done wrong and what to do to strengthen the marriage. If the husband does not have this wisdom, it will only be a matter of time before the same problems surface and his wife leaves him again.

My friend, Christ is both The Power and Wisdom of God to us. As the Power of God, He removes obstacles in our paths. As the Wisdom of God, He continually directs our paths!

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

GOD’S  WISDOM

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we
have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).

A certain man came back home from work one day and announced
to his family, “I’m tendering my resignation.”

“Why?” they all asked in shock and disbelief. The fellow was
just about to be given a major promotion in the multinational corporation where
he worked, and now he said he was leaving. “Why?” everyone wondered! “I have to
resign because I was praying and The Lord told me to” he replied.

Of course he went ahead to resign and not long afterwards
the hitherto conglomerate from which he resigned went bankrupt and folded up. Following
the wealth of experience he had garnered over time, he established his own
company and started doing very well, and he’s still doing extremely well till
date.

Notice that the man didn’t leave his former company because
it appeared the organization was going down, for at the time, everything seemed
okay with the company. He left because he knew the heart of God concerning the
company. Knowing the heart of God concerning a matter is wisdom.

Wisdom is not putting two and two together to make four;
that’s the wisdom of this world which isn’t bad, but it’s not good enough. True
wisdom, which is God’s wisdom, teaches that sometimes, what you may consider
the ideal may not necessarily be God’s choice. True wisdom is knowing and doing
the Will of Our Father in love.

This is where being a student of the Bible, and a man or
woman of prayer comes in. By studying God’s Word, you become acquainted with
the character of Our Heavenly Father; you receive insight into His Will for
your life, for His Word is His Will expressed. Through prayer, your Spirit is
conditioned in such a way that you operate in God’s frequency; you’re sync with
Him and hence able to receive His thoughts and follow the guidance of His
Spirit.

Spend time in prayer and the study of the scriptures, and
you’ll find yourself functioning always in wisdom – the wisdom of God. Remember,
you have the mind of Christ, which means you can know the heart of Our Heavenly
Father concerning any situation.

CONFESSION

The Wisdom of God
guides me in the way that I should go. I only act and go in the direction that
the Spirit leads because that’s the path of success! My heart is open today, to
receive divine instructions that’ll guide me in the path of my prosperity and
destiny in Christ Jesus Name! Amen!

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians
3:16)

My greatest
desire in life is to know God more, for that’s where the glory is. With God’s
Word, I can be anything; go anywhere; have anything, and can do anything.

So, I challenge
you today; fill your heart with God’s Word. Let the desire and love to know God
more through His Word be your greatest driving force in life. Build your spirit
with the Word. This is the beginning of the second quarter of 2011, and if you
haven’t already started making lavish investments in getting you spirit
thoroughly built up by the Word of God, you must begin immediately. That’s what
will cause you to shine, not only in 2011, but also for life.

Remember,
the glory is in the Word. When the Word of God dwells richly in your spirit,
you will shine, as the glory of God will be evident in your life. Therefore,
you must forthwith, give the Word of God rapt attention, until they become your
vocabulary, such that, you can no longer talk fear, lack, weakness, sickness or
anything negative.

Let God’s
Word dwell in your heart so richly, that you can no longer talk according to
your sight, but only according to God’s Word. When that happens, you will shine
and walk in the glory of God not only in this 2011, but also all lifelong.

CONFESSION

MY HEART IS OPENED TO BE FILLED WITH
THE TREASURE AND WISDOM OF GOD’S WORD. AS I STUDY AND LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD, THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS ON HAND TO TEACH AND GRANT ME INSIGHTS AND REVELATIONS, CAUSING
THE WORD TO GROW AND PREVAIL IN MY LIFE, OVER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN JESUS
CHRIST NAME, AMEN!

God Rewards Humility.

Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Although men
look at the outward appearance, God looks on the heart. A humble man has
integrity, he has the wisdom of God and this is why God exalts him. The Bible
says,  “…….the wisdom that is from above
is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be willing to yield, full of
mercy and good fruits without partiality and
without hypocrisy” (James 3:17). Humility, therefore, does not mean
timidity or foolishness as some have assumed. It is maturity, and applying the
wisdom of God with all honesty. It is responding to the Word of God with a pure
and teachable heart.

It is
imperative to learn how to deny your flesh of its desires, and let the nature
of God dominate you. Jesus said, “he that taketh not his cross and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38). When you humble yourself in the
sight of God, no matter how complicated your case may be, He will lift you up.
Job was described as a perfect and upright man, one who feared the Lord and
eschewed evil. He was famous for his wealth, but he lost everything; his
family, wealth and even health. Yet in spite of all these, the Bible noted
Job’s reaction as being without sin, neither did he charge God foolishly.

God has
given you every opportunity to express your love for Him. You might be looking
forward to experiencing a miracle, hoping that someday your heart’s desire
would be fulfilled. You might even be praying for a speedy one, not wanting to
wait as long as Joseph, Sarah, Elizabeth, Job or Jacob. When you look to God
for a miracle, trust His choice, and know that His timing is perfect. However,
there is a quality you must possess that will produce great results, a quality
that other will admire and be inspired by. That quality is humility.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, I
humble myself under your mighty hand. I receive your Word with meekness and
childlike faith, and I apply my heart to the wisdom that comes from above.
Thank You for the effect of Your Word in me as I exalt Your Word in my life, in
Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
