Wisdom IV

1 Corinthians 2:4 'And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:' 

Since Christ has become unto us wisdom, 1 Cor 1:30, let's therefore embrace that truth and walk in it. Let our reasoning be based not on human wisdom but on Christ, our wisdom. We ought not to think as the world thinks for our wisdom is from on high.

When you are listening to a teacher or a preacher, look out whether they are talking about Christ the Son of the living God or just talking merely about human affairs. Some keep talking about traditions or philosophies of men rather than preaching Christ. Some end up preaching about themselves, instead of pointing us to Christ. Avoid listening to talk on pulpits which is only full of talk about wisdom of men rather than the wisdom from above. This is true too about the natural things we get exposed to. You see a Christian feeding on news from morning to evening. What news? Adultery, lust, fights, wars, sports etc. Now I don’t discount that there is something to learn from that but it's all natural. You won't be inspired to go heal the sick, plant churches or hold crusades when you only feed on the junk or natural things of this world. Nowonder such Christians who feed heavily on that reason like the world, think of impossibilities and cannot dare or sharpened to advance the gospel far and wide.

The songs we sing or listen should point us to Christ Jesus and glorify Him. The jokes or memes on social media should point us to Christ. Some believers all they can say in a conversation are the memes they have seen rather than the voice of God or the revelation they have from the scriptures they read that morning! The Bible says as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Therefore feed on the wisdom of God. Study God's Word and you will become wiser.

Many times, you may want to listen to the radio, if Christ is not preached there, simply just switch it off. Instead spend your time speaking in other tongues edifying yourself, listening to sermons, audio bibles, Christian audio books etc. Many things take our time but they are not helpful.  

If you want to change men, you ought to think higher than them. The wisdom of God which is higher than that of men or the natural things of this world will cause you to do exploits for God.

Child of God, the wisdom of the world is vanity. It is the wisdom of God that will profit you.

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...
