WISDOM! Do want it ? ! As wisdom leads us to Revelation, Revelation will open our eyes to what the Lord is doing. The things hidden and the entry point to work with Him to see transformation.
Let’s Start with His WORD!
Ecclesiastes 9:13-15
“This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me: There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man”.
What a remarkable verse, yet this is a fact of the world we live in. For the ones that do and put in the most, are often the ones who are unknown or not remembered. Selah there.
“Jesus was at the temple with the disciples one day.
He sat across from the treasury of the temple and watched many rich people put in large sums of money.
Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins.
Jesus teaches the disciples that the woman gave more than the rich”
(Mark 12: 41–44).
Now both these stories and verses show something that’s important to God… The POOR (physically, spiritually, mentally and financially )
Firstly it is not what you have in your hand, but the response in the heart that is more important.
Secondly that attitude and motive out weights the amount.
Did you know that The Lord is always looking for someone who is willing to give what they have in a place of surrender?
As the amount can be multiplied by Him. For He has wealth we cannot comprehend.
Yet, your heart decisions and choices can only be given by you.
Freewill is one of the biggest gifts the Lord has given us.But when we decide to lay it down and pick up His will, then we can live a life of TRUE ABUNDANCE.
Which opens the door for us to be used to do impossible things like we read in the verse we opened with! …Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. A man that had no wealth, yet knew someone who had more than enough, who could bring about a community transformation.
Pause here, would you like see community transformation? Could you be the one the Lord wants and is waiting to bring it forth?
Wow right? Yet if you look with natural eyes, at what you have in your hand, bank account or possessions, you will see you don’t have enough. So you need to decide to LOOK at Him, for then you will see you have more than enough.
When we take up this PERSPECTIVE we seeproblems as opportunities and challenges as invitation to advance His kingdom. A verse in the bible I love has helped me many times when faced with tough situations..
1 Corinthians 11:19
“No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval”.
The poor old man understood this verse this God’s approval does not come from what He had, but who he knew (God) and what he did with it through His leading and his obedience.
The last part of this verse shows his heart to another level, ……. Yet no one remembered that same poor man. For he didn’t do it for his own profit, fame or glory, no he did it because it was the right thing to do!
In fact no one in this world remembered him, yet in another world they did!
It mattered so much he was included in the scripturesfor ALL ETERNITY.
By the way this is what storing up riches in heaven is like. Let’s be real: where do we want to be remembered and known? In Heaven or in Earth?
Simply do you want the story of your life to be put in a local newspaper, daily news, on tv, or social media, that will be read on one day and discarded the followingday?
Or do you want your story like the poor man or the lady with the copper coins to be recorded in scripture for all eternity?
Did you note that their names are not mentioned?However their heart for God is! This is so others can catch the revelation and do the same. Are you willing?
Invitation:
Today the Father asks beloved child of mine, are you willing to pick up this revelation?
If so say yes from your heart, with all your heart and voice, and ask for the first step in how to do this?
Ask how you are to make a difference with provision or wisdom that has been lavishly poured out into you?
Then simply obey and do it, then ask Him for the next step and as you go through keep a continual Attitude and Position of Worshipping and Praising the Lord for He is Worthy and the Only One who gets all the Honour and Glory.
Let’s Pray:
Father thank You for this fresh revelation, fresh mana that is life and health to our body, soul and spirit., Holy Spirit would You help us to learn from it, digest it and then live from it, so that we can see the world, and people around us be transformed from Your leadingsand heart. In Jesus name. Amen
