TOPIC: THE PATH OF THE JUST
DATE: August 5, 2010
PROVERBS 4 : 7 - 18
Introduction
By Kingdom design, every child of God in Christ Jesus supernatural gravitates towards Kingdom greatness and prosperity. There is always an unseen force that leads people out of their present state of limitations into a more fulfilling and glorious future. From the moment you were born, the journey of life begins in this present physical world. However, this journey does not terminate here on earth but continues into eternity. Ironically, this present earthly journey (though shorter than the eternal journey and destination) actually determines one’s state of being in eternity. For this all important reason, it becomes imperative to maximize life and be all you were created to be. This makes the prayer of Moses very important here,
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
Time waits for no one. Every moment counts in our bid to make great impacts here on earth and also to inherit the Kingdom of God in eternity.
Now coming back to theme as stated in Proverbs 4:18, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” The moment you are born again by the Spirit in Christ Jesus, the Lord begins to direct your steps towards Kingdom greatness both in this present world as well as in eternity.
One major factor that affects how well your path radiates the glory of God and appropriate that is divinely directed is a function of the level of God’s wisdom that is operational in your life. The more of God’s wisdom you reflect in your life, the more glorious your path becomes until you discover and maximize your full potential and fulfill your purpose in life!
The question now is, how do I access more of God’s wisdom? The answer is, ASK GOD!!
Hear this, “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.” James 1:5
This is the secret! It is the reason behind every Kingdom exploit!!
You may ask, “Why is it that some people that pray (ask) for wisdom and any other thing and they do not receive answer” Thew answer I believe is already taken care of in the scripture. Listen to this, “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:6-8.
My prayer for you this day is that the Lord by His wisdom will continue your path to greatness more and more until you gloriously fulfill your purpose on earth in Jesus’ name! Amen!
