Title: Get Wisdom.

-
Scripture focus: Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Proverbs 3:13, 15-16  KJV 

Reflection: Wisdom is one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. According to Scripture, true happiness, lasting success, honour, and long life are all connected to wisdom. A person who walks in wisdom avoids many pitfalls, makes sound decisions, builds healthy relationships, and enjoys the blessings that come from living according to God's will.

Do you desire a happy home? Get wisdom. Do you want success in your career, business, or ministry? Get wisdom. Do you want to enjoy healthy relationships and make choices that lead to peace and fulfilment? Get wisdom. The Bible declares that wisdom is more valuable than precious jewels, and nothing we desire can compare with it.

However, true wisdom is not merely human knowledge or experience. It begins with God. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). Genuine wisdom comes from knowing God, obeying His Word, and submitting our lives to His guidance.

God has made wisdom available to us through Christ Jesus. The Bible says, “Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24). When we come to God through Christ, we gain access to divine wisdom that guides us in every area of life.

Furthermore, God gives us the Holy Spirit, who teaches, directs, and empowers us to live wisely. Jesus promised, “When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). As we live in obedience to God and yield to the Holy Spirit, we receive the wisdom needed to navigate life's challenges and fulfil God's purpose.

The Lord also gives this assurance, in “James 1:5 the bible says "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." I therefore urge you to come to Jesus today and ask Him for wisdom. God will give you.

Title:When We Walk with God.

-
Genesis 17:1  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Devotion: Walking with God is more than just a phrase—it is a way of life, an intimate journey of faith, trust, and obedience. Throughout the Bible, we see individuals who walked with God and experienced His guidance, protection, and blessings. Their stories serve as powerful reminders that when we choose to walk with Him, we are never alone.   Walking in Obedience – Noah's Example  In Genesis 6:9, we read: "Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God." Despite living in a corrupt world, Noah remained steadfast in his obedience to God. His faith led him to build an ark, enduring ridicule and hardship, yet his obedience saved his family and preserved the future of mankind.     When we walk with God, obedience is key. It may not always...

Title: Confidence in Christ: A Biblical Perspective.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Devotion:  The journey of faith is one of trust and assurance in the unfailing promises of God. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that the good work God begins in us will be perfected until the day of Jesus Christ. This confidence is not based on human ability or circumstances but on the unwavering faithfulness of God.   Throughout the Bible, we see examples of individuals who placed their confidence in Christ and witnessed His faithfulness in completing what He started. 1. Abraham – Confidence in God's Promise     Abraham was called by God to leave his homeland and journey to an unknown land with the promise of becoming the father of many nations (Genesis 12:1-3). Despite his old age and Sarah’s barrenness, Abraham believed in God's promise. Romans 4:20-21 states that Abraham "did not waver through unbelief regarding the promi...

Title : Giving and God's Faithfulness.

-
Luke 6:38 (KJV) declares:   "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Devotion:  In life, generosity is more than a noble virtue; it is a spiritual principle deeply rooted in the Word of God. The Bible teaches us that giving is not just an obligation but an invitation to experience divine abundance.   This verse speaks of a truth that transcends time—the certainty that when we give from a sincere heart, God ensures we receive abundantly in return. It is a reminder that generosity is not merely about material possessions but encompasses kindness, compassion, and selflessness.     However, life's challenges often test our willingness to give. At times, the enemy seeks to discourage us by making generosity feel like a loss rather than a blessing. We might encounter situations...
