    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (7): WITHOUT HYPOCRISY

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    This is the last characteristic of divine Wisdom that Brother James talked about. This Wisdom is without hypocrisy. In Greek, the words for hypocrisy and hypocrite have to do with someone playing a part, as if they were an actor on stage. They’re dissemblers, pretenders who simulate, feign, and pretend to be something they are not (Thayer’s dictionary, entries on G5273 and G5271). The opposite is what we find in wisdom — anupokritos (G505), something that is unfeigned, undisguised, sincere. Somehow, we’re all familiar with the problem of hypocrisy in the Church. For most of us, it’s something we’ve had close experience with. We’ve found ourselves disgusted with others who we identify as hypocrites and we may even have caught ourselves doing hypocritical things. The Bible tells us “wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom” (Prov. 4:7, KJV). Wisdom is something Yahweh has in abundance and which He is eager to share with those who ask for it (James 1:5). As we grow in wisdom we will become people who are sincere, authentic, and live without hypocrisy.

    Avoiding hypocrisy is not as simple a matter as it may seem, even for mature Christians. For example, Paul speaks of a time when the Apostle Peter and “even Barnabas” were carried away by hypocrisy, along with other Jewish Christians (Gal. 2:11-14). We all need to be vigilant. James 5:12 (WEB) says, “But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear— not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.” You’ve probably read translations of this verse where the last line reads “lest you fall under judgement,” but the Greek word here is hupokrisis (G5272). I think knowing James is talking about hypocrisy makes his “above all things” statement make more sense. There is a great need for us to live genuine, godly lives without dissembling, lying, double-standards, and play-acting.

    The word used in James for “without hypocrisy” is used only five other times. In addition to wisdom being without hypocrisy, we’re also to love without hypocrisy (Rom. 12:9; 2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Pet. 1:22) and have faith without hypocrisy (1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:5). Sincere, unfeigned faith and love are core parts of a Christian life. As one of Yahweh’s most important character traits, love is foundational to having Godly wisdom. Faith and wisdom are also linked (Matt. 24:45; 2 Tim. 3:15). I Peter 2:1-3 says, “1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” We have all tasted the Lord’s grace and love if we’re in a relationship with Him. As such, we owe Him our whole hearts — not some outward, play-acted version of insincere faith.

    REMEMBER: The Wisdom from above is without hypocrisy.

    CONFESSION: I am a sincere, truthful, and dedicated friend. When I say that I love, I genuinely love. I don’t talk behind people’s backs. I don’t gossip. I don’t betray the friends Adonai has brought into my life. I function by Divine Wisdom. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release grace upon you now to be true to Yahweh, brethren and yourself and whatever is confronting you today as a challenge turns to testimony for you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (6): WITHOUT PARTIALITY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (6): WITHOUT PARTIALITY

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, …
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    Acting without partiality is a hard thing to do, but it is a godly thing and therefore worth doing. Part of growing to have the “wisdom that is from above” involves setting aside our automatic human reactions to situations and replacing them with how Yahweh would react. Before we start looking at how we’re to be impartial, it’s important to note that Yahweh doesn’t show partiality regarding whom He blesses with wisdom. James writes, “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” If you meet the basic requirements — seek Elohim and ask in faith (see James 1:5-6) — then Elohim will give wisdom regardless of your age, background, ethnicity, status, ability, etc. He is not a “respecter of persons” who shows favouritism or twists His rules based on who someone is (see Deut. 10:17; 2 Chronicles 19:7; Acts 10:34). This is very grave when we consider what I Peter 1:15-17 says, “15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation? 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy? for I am holy. 17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:” You only endear yourself to the Lord when you work according His Word.

    Part of becoming holy is learning to be like God, and one of the ways He operates is without showing favouritism. If we respect Him as Father, then we should know Him as impartial judge and respect Him by living in reverent fear. Interestingly, this sort of fear is called “the beginning of wisdom” (Ps. 111:10; Prov. 9:10, see also Prov. 15:33; Is. 33:6). Shortly before telling us the wisdom from above is “without partiality,” James gives us one example of what ungodly partiality looks like. James 2:1-4 says, “1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment? 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place? and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?” When we show partiality we separate, make distinction, discriminate, and prefer one thing or person over another. That’s what diakrino means (G1252, Thayer’s dictionary definition). In contrast, wisdom is adiakritos — without diakrino (G87). Wisdom does not practice favouritism, discriminate, or see distinctions. When we respect God, who is impartial, we begin to learn wisdom and become more and more like Him. To show partiality is to not “be holy as the Father is holy.” In contrast, to act impartially is to become more like Yahweh. Selah!

    REMEMBER: This Divine Wisdom is without partiality.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function like you without partiality, so help me Father in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive the grace to live like Elohim in holiness in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (4):  FULL OF MERCY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday May 23, 2021

    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (4):  FULL OF MERCY

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy  …
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    Mercy is defined as that aspect of Yahweh’s character in which He does not give people what they deserve.  Mercy is a disposition to be kind and forgiving.  It is the feeling that motivates compassion.  It is the force that alleviates distress and shows great kindness towards the distressed.  When you are full of mercy, you pity those who are afflicted and those who afflict and offend you. When you are full of mercy, your default response to those who hurt you is pity not vengeance.  This means that vengeful, get-even spirit is not divine Wisdom but earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom.  When you are full of mercy, you are patient with people’s quirks.  There are just people that behave odd and oppose everything.  When you are full of mercy, you exercise a lot of patience with people’s quirks. What person in your life has irritating quirks? How can you practice patience with that person this today and this week?  Colossians 3:12 admonishes to ‘Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;’ The bowel is the inner most being of a person which is often considered by Hebrews as the seat of the tenderer affections, especially kindness, benevolence, and compassion. This is telling us that our mercy should flow from our innermost being and not a fake camouflage.  That when you see someone in trouble, something should well up from your depth to show mercy to the person.

    Full of mercy means helping anyone around you who is hurting.  Our world is full of people that are broken, battered and hurting.  You don’t go about gossiping and killing them the more, instead you show them mercy by extending a helping hand.  When you see someone drowning, do you help rescue or contribute to the person’s sinking?  See who around you is obviously hurting—and then look for a way you can help this week. If you can’t find anybody, then you’re not paying attention. Look closer! Who in your life needs a second chance? How can you show that person mercy and compassion today and this week?  Full of mercy means giving people a second chance.  Yes they have blown it before, mercy says, try again.  Quit reminding them of how they failed before, let mercy erase their past while giving them a clean slate to win.  Full of mercy means doing good to those who are hurting.  Whether it is sickness, or marital distress, or career challenges, full of mercy, lains over to do good and offer help.  Maybe you’re suffering from an old wound that you have not been able to let go of. Choose to forgive and then turn it around for good. Who is that person in your life? Will you make a phone call or a visit this week?

    Full of mercy means being kind to those who offend you.  Friend hear this, offence is a must (see Matthew 18:7).  If you are going to achieve any worthwhile goal in your life, you are going to be offended in people and people are going to offend you, and some deliberately.  Make up your mind for advance forgiveness for anyone that finally offends you.  Look with pity on every offender.  Moreover, we offend God everyday, so we have no choice but to be kind just as we have been shown kindness by the Father.  How can you be intentional in showing kindness to those who offended you today and this week?  Full of mercy means building bridges of love to the unpopular. What person first comes to mind when you think of an outcast? Who spends their lunch breaks eating alone or doesn’t seem to have friends at soccer games? What specific thing will you do this week to bridge the gap between you and that person with love? Go ahead and show mercy today and always, that is Divine Wisdom in operation.

    REMEMBER:   The Wisdom from above is full of mercy.

    PRAYER:   Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today.  I ask for grace to be full of mercy in my relationship with the people of this world in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   As you function in mercy, you shall obtain mercy from the Lord in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (2): PEACEABLE

    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (2):  PEACEABLE

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,…
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    The wisdom from above also ensures that you enjoy supernatural rest.  It releases to you peace of mind, peace in your body, peace in your place of work, peace everywhere!  Kenneth Hagin tells the story of a time during the second world war, when everyone would run into a tunnel for refuge during bombings.  But, there was this old woman who was not seen in the tunnel.  Fearing she had been killed, the others were astonished when they saw her a few days later just having a nice time.  So, they asked her, “Where were you during the bombing? Why didn’t we see you?”  And she answered, “There is Somebody keeping me, who neither sleeps nor slumbers.  So there’s no reason why two of us should be awake!”  Some people probably got killed while they were running around, but she was at peace!  That’s supernatural wisdom giving the enemy a knock out!  When peace becomes established in your heart, you give Yahweh room to intervene in your life and situation.  That was the principle the Lord Yahushua, the wisdom of Yahweh, operated by when He was fast asleep on a pillow in the midst of a raging storm!  Mark 4:37-39 says, “37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.  38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”  He understood that except He was at rest, divine intervention was not in view.  Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

    Your stillness is tapping the hands of the Lord to take over the issue for you.  In wrestling sport, there is two by two fight that the only way to come in your partner into the ring is by tapping his hands.  That is what stillness does for you with the Lord.  Until you are still, you are not ready for divine intervention.  Psalms 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”  This Wisdom from above is peaceable flooding your heart with peace that commands stillness.

    Every where you see divine intervention, you see this Wisdom of peace and stillness.  II Chronicles 20:17 says, “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.”  The Lord was telling them in essence that if you people wants me to intervene, you must stand still.   Wherever you sight this Wisdom in operation, you can feel the peace that exudes.  Halleluyah!

    REMEMBER:  The Wisdom from above is makes peace and brings stillness.

    PRAYER:   Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I desire to function in this dimension of peace.  By Your Wisdom I connect it now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:    I speak “Peace be still now” to any area of challenge and trouble in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE SEAT OF WISDOM

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday May 19, 2021

    THE SEAT OF WISDOM

    For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
    II Corinthians 2:16 (KJV)

    Every car has seats. The seats are arranged in such a way as to accommodate a particular number of people and to give comfort to the passengers. Imagine, for instance, the lot of a car without seats? The driver may be a professional of several years, but he still needs where to rest his weight comfortably to drive the car. The seat of a vehicle plays a vital role in the functionality of the car. Wisdom too needs a seat, a place from which to operate. The mind is the seat of wisdom.  As one that is born again, you have a sound mind.  Before you got born again, you had a natural mind.  This is to be expected since you were a natural man.  But after you gave your life to HaMashiach, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says old things are passed away and all things are now new.  That means you became a new man, no more natural but supernatural.  You also had a natural mind, but after your encounter with the mystery of new birth, it became a sound mind or a supernatural mind.

    A sound mind is a gift from Yahweh to the redeemed.  Our opening text tells us that this sound mind is also the mind of HaMashiach. It is not just a lucky mind, but the Creator’s mind. There was a time darkness was upon the earth, the earth was without form and void; but the Creator’s mind went into operation, creating the beauty we see today. That mind gave shape to the shapeless world and filled the void with plenty.  “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good…” (Genesis 1:31).

    You have that same type of mind! That means you have the creator’s mental capacity. The mind you possess can give shape to your life and fill your emptiness with treasures. It can overcome and destroy all forms of darkness. That shows us the calibre of mind a redeemed man possesses. You have what it takes to make things happen, so you cannot be stranded. That mind you possess is not common, but peculiar.  Therefore, you can produce uncommon and peculiar results.  You are indeed a man to be envied!  HaMashiach in whom is hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge says I have His mind (see Colossians. 2:3).  Therefore, in my mind is hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge — and that is the truth of it!  When your mind begins to function at HaMashiach’s frequency, you’ll be able to obtain supernatural results the way HaMashiach did. The Lord Yahushua displayed so much wisdom that men were astonished and said: “… whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?” (Matthew 13:54).  Thus, wherever that wisdom is in operation, mighty works are the proofs — that is mighty and outstanding results. Such results as would secure the ovation of men, remarkable evidences that cannot escape the attention of men, but commands their awe and respect! That’s a peculiar mind at work!

    REMEMBER:   The mind is the seat of Wisdom which in the believer is the mind of HaMashiach!

    CONFESSION:   My mind is an empowered mind.  My mind is the mind of HaMashiach, functioning at heaven’s frequency.  Glory!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   Grace to renew your mind with the Word comes upon you today.  Everything harassing your life and destiny is destroyed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    Listen, pain, ache or whatever discomfort in your body is never the will of Yahweh for you. It is not part of what is written in your Father’s Will for you. Why will you tolerate it then?

  • NO COMPETITION – NO COMPARISON

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday May 18, 2021

    NO COMPETITION – NO COMPARISON

    For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
    II Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)

    One of the things that the Lord will judge is the motive for which you did whatever you did. You are not in competition with any one. You are on your on lane and there is no other person that has your assignment in the same measure and dimension that you were given. For instance, because of the capacity that the Lord has given you, He is expecting you to establish minimum of 100 souls in your lifetime. The other brother right in your team, may have just 30 souls expected of him from the Lord. Then you go about looking at him in competition. You have done 50% of heavens target for you which is 50 souls established and you are beating your chest against the brother that has done 40 souls whose expected target from heaven is 30 souls established. You will arrive the shores of eternity as a failure, while that brother is crowned as one that succeeded. That is because it is written, “But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” (Luke 12:48). This is the folly of competition. Your purpose is different in scope and measure. It is foolishness to sit on the lane of destiny looking here and there for who you are beating. You should compete with your yesterday. You must try to outdo your yesterday. That is how to improve and continue to go from strength to strength.

    In life, everybody is on their own lane. Even if we are doing the same thing, the scope and measure our heavenly Father is expecting from each of us is very different. You would be a failure if you seat to try to outdo your neighbour. It was Sir Francis Bacon, who said, “Envy is ever joined with the comparing of a man’s self; and where there is no comparison, no envy.” Comparison can breed inferiority complex where you conclude that you are no good or not as good as the other person. This mentality can cripple action and bring you to the place where you begin to operate beyond your Yahweh given potentials. There is no one that is like you. Someone may be good and exceptionally good in something, but you are also good in another thing even more than any one else. If you can concentrate on your purpose and stop comparing yourself, you would develop your potential to excellence. But comparison cripples mentality, you must stop it now.

    Comparison robs you of joy. Comparing yourself to others will always cause you to regret what you aren’t, rather than allow you to enjoy life as who you are. It will always steal the joy and happiness that is within your reach… and place it just outside of your reach instead. You are complete in HaMashiach (see Colossians 2:10). Nothing is lacking in you at all. Focus on your assignment and rejoice in HaMashiach that gives you strength. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: No competition; no comparison. It is not wisdom doing so.

    CONFESSION: I know who I am. An heir of Yahweh and a joint-heir with the Lord Yahushua. The lines are fallen unto me on pleasant places, yeah I have a good heritage. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I kill that tendency for comparison in your heart in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • ABOLISH YOUR COMFORT ZONE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday May 17, 2021

    ABOLISH YOUR COMFORT ZONE

    Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
    Amos 6:1 (KJV)

    There is nothing that kills vision, plans and pursuit like the comfort zone. The comfort zone is that place in life where you are so comfortable that you don’t feel like being disturbed about anything else. The comfort zone can be defined as a state of mind in which people are at ease, in control of their environment and experiencing low level of anxiety and stress. A comfort zone would be a state of mind where a person’s anxiety and vulnerability are minimized to manageable levels. It is that area of your life in which you feel familiar with and in control of. For example, some people love to go to work every morning and are used to the routine of going to work daily such that their work place becomes their comfort zone and leaving this comfort zone to become a freelancer or start a business can be very challenging for them. Of course, for others, a comfort zone could be the time they take their meals or that time after work when they relax in front of their television or with social media after a hectic day at work. Of course, comfort zones are not static because they change based on the areas of your life you feel most comfortable with.

    According to White Alasdair, there are three psychological states: the comfort zone, optimal performance zone and the danger zone. Where the comfort zone is the stress-free zone which you’re familiar with. The optimal performance zone is the zone just outside your comfort zone where your performance is enhanced by some amount of stress. The danger zone, which is beyond the optimal performance zone, is where you feel great anxiety and your performance is below the performance you can attain in your comfort zone. The Lord always leads you along the danger zone because it’s at that place that you learn to trust Him completely. At the danger zone, you come to the end of yourself and you are forced to look up to the Lord.

    T. Harv Eker said, “To move to a new level in your life, you must break through your comfort zone and do things that are not comfortable.” Another wise man had said, “A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows there.”. Why do you need to abolish your comfort zone? Firstly, Stunted Growth: If you insist on staying in your comfort zone, you will probably never grow to be more than you are. That means you will always be stuck, never moving forward and never growing. Most people who become addicted to their comfort zones usually end up unable to achieve their goals because they’re somewhat obsessed with doing things the same way they’ve always done them even when it’s not producing results. As a result, you can never really explore what you’re capable of doing and what you can accomplish if you stick to your comfort zone.

    Secondly, To find your Passion:. Not moving out of your comfort zone makes it harder for you to discover your passion because no passion can ever be found in the shadows of your comfort zone, it can only be found by stepping away from your comfort zone. Thirdly, To make sure you don’t settle for less: Even though you’ve not found that thing that makes your heart beat very fast (like love or passion), your comfort zone might push you to settle for less than what you could have if you just stepped out of it. Finally, So you don’t get left behind: When you stay in your comfort zone, you will be left behind. Colleagues will leave you behind and people who were previously behind you in terms of life or career progress would meet up with you and leave you behind as well.

    REMEMBER: Your comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows there.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I receive the grace to abolish my comfort zone in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: The grace to step into the danger zone that will multiple your success, receive it now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
