Wisdom II

Proverbs 3:13-16 'Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 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.'

Living long is associated with walking in divine health. Imagine you are a father and your kids are yearning for you to put them on your shoulders but you cannot because you are ill. No one would love such a situation even though they are wealthy. If a rich man lies on his death bed. Will he want to call for his lawyers so that he signs a business deal and close it before he dies? No, he will ask God to give him life so that he may serve his family, enjoy his children and friends. Being healthy is important but it takes wisdom to live healthy. In Christ, both wisdom and longevity are available for you.

Wealth and honour will always follow you when you embrace wisdom. Many focus on blessings but God does not want us to focus on blessings. He wants us to focus on wisdom which is Christ Jesus. Christ will bring you all these things, 1 Corinthians 1:24. His wisdom in us works in every area of our lives for instance, when you have a health problem, sometimes all you need is wisdom not even medication. A financial problem, family problem, marriage problems are all wisdom problems. If your wife runs away and you come to the pastor to pray for you and after the prayer she happens to come back because you needed a miracle for her to come back. But if she comes back, spends a few days with you and goes away again, that would simply indicate that you need wisdom to keep her from running away. The wisdom to know how to take good care of her, treat her and eventually keep her.

Miracles happen when we pray. We always pray for them often and they happen but the principal thing is wisdom, seek wisdom.

Further scriptures 

Proverbs 4:8 Exalt her[wisdom], and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee honour, when thou dost embrace her. 

1 Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....

Jesus, the reason for the season

Image
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jesus is the reason for the season we are in. He is the gift of God unto men. Who on earth does not like gifts and who on earth can reject the Gift of all gifts, moreover given by God Himself? Jesus cannot be rejected because He is love, He is Grace, He is Life and Truth.  In case you doubt His claims you cannot argue with everything that happens in this season. It's evidence that His claims are true. All the jubilations around worldwide and around town are because He is the joy to the world, the decorations all over the place are because He is the Light of the world, the endless traffic jams, people arm twisting themselves in the bus parks fighting for a seat in the bus to head back to the villages, the commotion in the business centre as everyone wants to grab...
