SELL EVERYTHING AND BUY WISDOM - 3
"...“Take this to heart. Do what I tell you—live! Sell everything and buy Wisdom! Forage for Understanding! Don’t forget one word! Don’t deviate an inch! Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life; love her—she keeps her eye on you. Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom! Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding! Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won’t regret it; never let her go—she’ll make your life glorious. She’ll garland your life with grace, she’ll festoon your days with beauty.” - Proverbs 4:3-9 (MSG)
Once upon a time there was a lion that grew so old that he was unable to kill any prey for his food. So, he said to himself, I must do something else I will die of starvation. He kept thinking and thinking and at last an idea came to him. He decided to lie down in the cave pretending to be ill and then who-so-ever will come to inquire about his health, will become his prey. The old lion put his wicked plan into practice and it started working. Many of his well-wishers got killed. But evil is short lived.
One day, a fox came to visit the ailing lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood at the mouth of the cave and looked about. His sixth sense worked and he came to know the reality. So, he called out to the lion from outside and said, How are you, sir? The lion replied, I am not feeling well at all. But why don’t you come inside? Then the fox replied, I would love to come in, sir! But on seeing, all foot prints going to your cave and none coming out, I would be foolish enough to come in. Saying so, the fox went to alert the other animals.
"God saw that human evil was out of control. People thought evil, imagined evil—evil, evil, evil from morning to night" Genesis 6:5.
Beloved, there is no doubt that the heart of man is desperately wicked. And according to Shakespeare, " there is no art to tell the mind's construction in the face". Like the wicked lion in the story above, there are many old hungry lions out there who are pretending to be a true friend. That is why we need to operate in divine wisdom at all times. We need God's wisdom to be able to read between the lines and to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting at all times.
Friends, why not desire the baptism of the spirit of wisdom today. I have no doubt that God's wisdom will definitely enable you discern all manifestations of falsehood , deceptions, pretence and also guide against making wrong decision in marriage, business, ministry and career.
Good day and God bless you. Amen
Maranatha!
