TEXT : 1 Kings 3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
Memory Verse: Ecclesiastes 7:19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
FOCUS
Today we still looking at how do we sharpen our sword. We can sharpen our sword through wisdom. From our opening scripture, the whole people marveled at the wisdom of Solomon, it was so great. Only the wisdom from God could have judged that sensitive case that Solomon judged. You can’t have a sword that you will not apply wisdom in the usage; if not you will destroy your life by using it unjustly.
There are so many the sword of knowledge, they know that they know but the application is lacken. For example, the world is a global village, and look at the use of mobile phone, many people are using it illegally. Wisdom is needed to sharpen our sword; Solomon never abused his own but it comes to judgement and justice but so many abuse theirs.
I pray this morning, that we will use the wisdom of God to do what is right. The application if peace is what guarantee stability. A wise person can discern between good and evil but a foolish person cannot discern, he’s waiting for signs. No wonder Jesus said, woe unto you that are looking for signs. Life is about wisdom, the more you use it, the more you shine.
LESSON
Proverbs 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
When you are looking for how to sharpen your sword, it is better you get wisdom. What is wisdom? Wisdom is the application of the knowledge you have acquired. Wisdom is not a gift, it is sort out, you deliberately and consciously look for it. There are ways to get wisdom, it can be gotten by impartation. Wisdom is a spirit and can be contacted through legal hands, spiritual means especially impartation. You can also get wisdom through someone’s experience, by applying what you have learnt over the time and you are not picking it in isolation, you are meditating. You don’t get wisdom by reading but by meditation, you begin to ponder, that’s why the Bible says he that getteth wisdom love his own soul.
Wisdom keeps your soul alive because you will not be foolish. Many people have died prematurely because of foolishness. Foolishness abound in the heart of people and their lips utter perverse things. When you see someone who speak perversely, it’s a sign that the person is foolish. When you see people who does not allow the wisdom of God to be seen in their words then you have seen a man who lacks wisdom. When you get wisdom, you are keeping your own soul.
So, how do I sharpen my sword, go and get wisdom. Wisdom is the application of knowledge, begin to inter lntermeddle with all spirits, let people that are wise lay hands on you, let people that are blessed impact you on how to go about your life. Don’t forget, wisdom is profitable to direct. You lack direction because you are not wise.
PERSONAL CONFESSION
I receive the spirit of wisdom in the Name of Jesus Christ.
PRAYER FOCUS
Father deliver me from every spirit of foolishness that hinders wisdom.
Wisdom is a defence like a sword
Nothing triggers justice like application of right wisdom.
