Thought For The Day
DON'T LOOK INSIDE THE ARK! Don’t focus on your sins. Focus on Christ and His finished work. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1 John 2:2 RHAPSODY OF REALITIES THURSDAY, MAY 22ND WITH PASTOR CHRIS. WISDOM CAN BE SEEN AND HEARD And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment (1 Kings 3:28). Until someone speaks or acts, you may not know he has the Spirit of wisdom, for wisdom can be seen and heard. This happened in Solomon’s day; they brought before him two women who lived in the same house. Both of them had just been delivered of their babies three days apart from each other. Unfortunately, on a certain night, one of the women slept over her son, and he died. On realizing she had accidentally killed her baby, she went over to her neighbour’s bed and switched the babies. The other woman woke up the next morning to feed her baby, only to discover he was dead. She looked closely at the dead child and noticed it wasn’t hers. She went looking for her baby, and saw him with her room-mate. She tried to claim her child back, but a fight ensued. The matter was reported to King Solomon, and everyone wondered what he would do about it. No one else lived in the house with the women, so there were no witnesses. The king wisely requested for as word and ordered that the live baby be divided into two. The real mother cried out “No! Don’t kill him. I’d rather she takes the baby and nurture him,” pointing to the other woman. However, the one that switched the babies, said, “Yes, kill him so he won’t belong to either of us.” Solomon then stood up and said to the real mother, “This is your baby. Take him.” The Bible says, “all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment” (1 Kings 3:28). Wisdom, indeed, can be seen and heard. Remember, Christ—the embodiment of wisdom—dwells in you and has imparted His nature of wisdom to you. The Spirit of wisdom that the Apostle Paul talked about in Ephesians 1:17 is in you. Even now, declare that the wisdom of God is seen and heard in you today, and that you’re propelled by wisdom to function in the perfect will of God. PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for anointing my mind with divine wisdom to affect lives and bring solutions to dicey circumstances. I have the wisdom of the just, which propels me to function in God’s perfect will. The wisdom of God is in my heart and in my mouth today, and I deal excellently in all my affairs, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY 1 Corinthians 2:6-7 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: , 1 Kings 10:6-7 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. 7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
