THE FEAR OF GOD; THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM

Have you ever pondered on how wise you are? have you ever felt you are not wise enough? ok.
Prov 15: 33 (KJV) "The fear of God is the instruction of wisdom."

As I sat in one of my school's lecture theaters thinking of how to get over a problem, that bible verse rang in my ear and my thought moved away from the problem to the bible verse. I shrugged from the thought of it for a while cause I couldn't figure out how it was going to help me solve the problem I had but then, it rang again more clearly and I got it.

If you fear God or maybe I should be more practical; If you fear your dad and you do not like to get on his nerves, what do you do? Well for me, I will do away with everything that can get me close to his nerves not to even talk of getting on it. most times, it would require me to  think deeply to get an answer and in the course of doing that, I get answers to other problems. When I am out of that mood or right in that mood, I try to apply this idea I just got to a problem in  reality and usually, all I see in myself after this solution works out is a wise woman and seriously, that is simply the way it is with God.

Whenever you are being cautious of your ways because of God, you open your heart for deeper revelations of him and the world that gets you feeling fly like a super wise man.

I believe wisdom is not your ability to stand by a big mountain, pushing it with yiour little effort in order to move it away but your ability to get an axe and shove little parts of it away until it is finally gone. You realize that in this way, you are able to move the mountain and at the same time maximise the little stones you turned it to for something more useful.

Fearing God takes you to a realm of deep thinking that makes everyone see you as a wise person whereas you are just a little deep thinker.

GRACE FOR PERFECTON

GRACE FOR PERFECTION We should study the word and live the life! It’s not about preaching but about demonstrating Christ, enough of the pretense and deceit in the body of Christ. So many of us go to church but yet are nothing but just common participants in listening to the sermon, some other listen and act the word in the church but are some other sort of being once they are out of the church. Whatever category you fall in all I want you to know today is God wants you to be a better man, a perfect man, a man who is Christ-like and not just a church goer, not just someone who acts the word in the church even when his personal, family life is nothing to write home about. God is saying enough of those kind of life. Romans 11: 6 “and if by grace, then is it no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace; otherwise work is no more work” this verse is my message to us today. Whatever you are right now, I want you to know that its only grace that can make the better person you want to be. When grace is sufficient, everything goes well. The grace of God is what makes a Christian thirst for perfection, it will make the person to be at the right place at the right time so as to get all the perfection treats he need. For some times now, I have been thirsting for perfection in Christ and you know what? There has been hardly a day when I don’t walk in the direction. Often, it’s not like I do these things at my own decision but the grace makes the Holy Spirit to minister to me at that particular time such that it becomes a strong will and I just have to do it. That is how much the grace can fix things for you when all you have to do is thirst, thirst and thirst and obey his leadings, he will guide you to all truth. The spirit understands your imperfection right now and is ready to make you perfect as long as you want to be. Don’t be surprised if you start to Thirst and you find yourself at some kind of Holy Ghost congress. Well that’s probably where you need to be that moment. He wants to cleanse you and make you that desired perfect man. God craves for your perfection.
