Wisdom…
1. Noah built the ark by faith but, he used
measurements.
There is a place for rational thinking in our walk of
faith. Not all decisions should be made with blind
hope!
2. Sarah’s pregnancy was a miracle, but it took nine
months just like any other. God’s plans do not negate
the importance of process. Sometime you need to
wait or work it out.
3. The stone that killed Goliath might have been
anointed, but David’s skill was also involved. Developing skills does not mean you are not anointed.
If you play a piano, play it to the fullest. Don’t take us
through the agony of listening to your Cacophony in
the name of “singing to the Lord”. Skills are important.
There is nothing rude with telling that sister “you can’t
sing, find something else to do in the house of God”. 4. Esther received favor to become queen, but she
also bathed and prepared her appearance.
Preparation is key to becoming fit for the occasion. Get
knowledge, go to school. Stop blaming auto-correct,
check your spelling even here on social media.
Prepare, because some guys expect nothing but the best from a woman!
5. The promised land was full of milk and honey, but
they also had to plow, feed cattle, and take care of
sheep. Miracles are communication tools that God
uses to instill trust, faith and the knowledge of his
nature. You need to work, don’t expect miracles in a specific area of life all the time. No one pays rent for a
full year with miracle money. We need it, we want it,
but God wants what is permanent.
6. God is the one who created human capacity to
memorize things, yet he also told many prophets to
write their message. Spirituality does not mean we should not use tools to package the message.
7. Ruth received favor to marry Boaz, but the coaching
of Naomi was necessary. Human coaching is
necessary, you need to submit and learn from
someone. It will spare you from silly mistakes.
8. Moses could hear directly from God, but he was waring himself out with work, it was the wisdom of
his father in law that saved him from dying a
premature death with exhaustion. It is wisdom to put
on a seat belt, brush teeth, and adhere to medical
advise. Being spiritual does not mean asking angels to
cook food for you! 9. Namaan was a mighty soldier and a friend of Kings,
but he acted as influenced by a Jewish maiden. Even
important people are influenced by”insignifican
t”people. The key thing is proximity that generates
influence.
Mishandling of the natural world can cause hindrance to progress, and a total neglect of the spiritual world
will definitely cause total failure in all areas of life.
Balance is the key!!!
