JESUS THE WISDOM OF GOD

JESUS THE WISDOM OF GOD.
MEMORISE:
But we preach Christ crucified,unto the Jews a stumbling block,and unto the Greeks foolishness;1 Corinthians 1:23.
READ:1 CORINTHIANS 1:21-24.
21.For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to
save them that believe.
22.For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23.But we preach Christ
crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the
Greeks foolishness;
24.But unto them which are
called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JUDGES
3:7-4:24 AND MATTHEW
24:36-25:13.
MESSAGE
When wise men from the East
discovered the phenomenon that indicated the birth of Jesus, they abandoned everything they were
doing and commenced an
immediate search for Him
( Mathew 2:1-2). These were
noble men who were feared and highly respected. They were of the priestly caste, and they were spiritual counsellors to the kings
of their time. Yet, on hearing of the birth of Jesus, they decided to abandon their own wisdom and search for the superior wisdom of God manifested as Jesus. This is why I pity those who know the truth but allow foolishness to keep them in
darkness. Romans 1:28 says this about such people:
'And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;' For this reason, everyone who
comes into this world must make a decision to submit to the superiority of God's wisdom which is personified by Jesus. To benefit maximally from this life,
you must accept Jesus Christ as your Lord. He is willing to give you divine wisdom concerning all issues of life. He is ready to guide
you into greatness. Don't allow the devil to keep you in the foolishness of self government .
If you do, you will experience
great loss and destruction
especially in the world to come. After a branch is severed from a tree, its leaves will still remain
green, but it is only a matter of time before they wither and die. Is someone asking you to
embrace the wisdom of the
world? Is anyone asking you to forsake the congregation of the righteous? Are you been lured by religious sects with a promise that you will be free? You are only about to lose your freedom if you subscribe to such lies. It is
only in Jesus Christ you can
experience the true wisdom that brings freedom. If there is any place to search for wisdom, it is in Christ alone, because all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him ( Colossians 2:3 ). The wisdom of
God is like light that repels
darkness on its arrival. When this wisdom comes into your life, every reproach automatically gives way. As a child of God, you must allow wisdom to control all
that you do. When it appears
things are not moving in the
direction you expect, don't try to ' help' God; there is nothing
beyond His wisdom. Don't accept the alternatives of the devil, and don't subscribe to the suggestions of men. The wisdom of God is the greatest of all wisdom.
ACTION POINT:
Are you perplexed by any
situation? Look to Jesus and ask God for wisdom on how to handle it.
