Spiritual Wisdom and Understanding (B)

Read: Colossians 1: 9-14; Proverbs 9: 12, 31: 26;

Romans 8: 13-17; John 8: 12; James 1: 5

If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

Proverbs 9: 12

       Yesterday, I had five children in Forest children Sunday service at my home where is named Disciple Gospel Center. My yard is clean now, yesterday one father and his son cut my grasses, and the call was from my fixing car boss Karim who told me that he found my engine, today, this afternoon will arrive at Morogoro. Praise the Lord! May God bless his people in the world!

       A famous American preacher Joyce Meyer said, "You read the word of God, you need to have spiritual Wisdom and Understanding." The 700 club Pad said, his New Year hope, number one is wisdom. We must need spiritual wisdom and we can see insight of Scripture Verses.

       We will continue Colossians 1: 11-14, in verses 11-12 said, "being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience and joyfully, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." Yesterday we talked about spiritual wisdom and understand as Paul and Timothy prayer. They lead to bear fruit in good work, you have to act out and show your testimony, and bearing fruit is your deed, attitude and characters, in order that you can grow in the knowledge of God, you truly understand the Word of God well. God gives us insight of his words.

       Verses 11-12, we just read as above, God will strengthen us with all power according to his glorious might, the reason for it, we may have great endurance and patience and joyfully, the words say, "we need to endure and patience so big by God's mighty power, we endure suffering with joy. Not our strength, but His. After we conquer all, we give thank to God. No, we still endure and patience greatly, but we give thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. I love inheritance of God, how about you? In Romans 8: 13-17 said, "for it you live according to sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God (daughters of God). For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of Sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."

       We are Children of God, so that we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. So that Jesus got inheritance, we are co-heirs with Christ, we get same inheritance with Christ. And Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of light." (John 8: 12) Jesus is the light of the world. As Colossians 1: 13-14 said, "For he (God) has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."God will rescue you from the dominion  of darkness and brought you into the Kingdom of the Son he loves. God has forgiven our sings by his redemption. I always download The 700 club, I watch on my laptop, I have heard many testimonies, they talked that they lived in the darkness, when they called on God who will rescue them and deliver them from the darkness situation to light and being new life again by his redemption and forgiveness. Praise the Lord for all!

            In James 1: 5 said, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." We don't have earth and spiritual wisdom, we can ask God to give us as king Solomon asked. God gives generously to all without finding fault. Not because of your deeds, acccording to your prayer. We thank God for wisdom.

        I think that spiritual wisdom and understanding can bring out too many things. I like to talk same topic with different thoughts. I also think that you seek the spiritual wisdom and understanding, you will get it as Matthew 7: 7-8 said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." May God bless your day with light of Jesus!

Spiritual wisdom and understanding will bring our effective and abundant life which are full of Christ.
