    WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (B)

    Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
    Colossians 3:19 (KJV)

    The husband has a responsibility to love his wife as HaMashiach loved the Church. Our opening text states, “and be not bitter against them” meaning that the wife has the capacity not just to annoy her husband but to behave in such a way that will embitter the man. To be bitter means to express severe grief or regret about something. It means marked by strong resentment or cynicism. The husband must know that the wife could behave in ways that could bring strong resentment in his heart towards her and from the beginning make the room to love her in spite. The Church is not close to being perfect but HaMashiach still loves the Church and gave Himself for her. Husband remember that loving your wife has a yardstick and it is a very high one. It is as HaMashiach loves the church and gave himself for her. Loving your wife is something you must be intentional, dedicated and consistent about. She does not need to be perfect to deserve your love. The Church was lost when HaMashiach died for her. It was that sacrifice of love that brought us into relationship with Yahweh. It is loving your wife that will bring out the angel and comforter in her alive. Put showing love to your wife in your budget. Be intentional about it. Your open heavens amongst others depends on your wife’s disposition towards you.

    1 Peter 3:7 says that husband should dwell with your wife according to knowledge. Knowledge here means that the husband is to know his wife in all the departments of her life in order to be able to read the mood of his wife per time and act according to that knowledge. You know when your wife is tired and needs rest and you help her get the needed rest and rejuvenate herself. You know when your wife is moody and needs succour, you try to bring her to smiles and joy. You know when your wife is happy and you don’t puncture that mood. When you don’t act towards your wife according to knowledge, you become the enemy of your own destiny because your prayers will be hindered. Loving your wife is just for your own good.

    Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath. I see a situation in my generation where fathers have abdicated their responsibility of training their children. It is the responsibility of the father to teach the family, the word of Yahweh. Train the children. Give instruction before you apply discipline. The word of God is for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. If you as a father don’t have time for the Word of Yahweh, how can you teach it? We have absent fathers that only come in to try to discipline on what is not done well while they have not taken time to give instructions and training. When you do that, you are provoking the child to wrath and the end result is going to be rebellion. You don’t want to have that situation, would you?

    REMEMBER: Wisdom instructs the husband to love his wife to enjoy marital bliss.

    CONFESSION: As HaMashiach is, so am I. I love my spouse and respond in understanding to my family. Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your family shall begin to experience bliss from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday May 28, 2024

    WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)

    18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
    Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)

    Man is a creation of Adonai. It is also only Him that knows the best way that the man can function and fulfil purpose. That is why, it is wisdom to go to the manufacturer’s manual for man which is the Bible and find out the Wisdom steps to take to maximize his life. There are wisdom steps in the Word for every area of the man’s life including his marriage. Marriage is Yahweh’s initiative. He therefore, knows the best way to enjoy it. It is Wisdom to search out the keys the creator of marriage has made available for unlocking the treasures in the institution. It is important to note that the wisdom of Yahweh looks like foolishness with men. However, the foolishness of Yahweh if there is anything like that is wiser than men (see 1 Corinthians 1:25). No matter the school you attended and the resultant certificate that you parade, if you don’t humble yourself and subscribe to the wisdom of Yahweh concerning marriage, you will make a shipwreck of your marriage. The evidence of the foregoing statement is the divorce statistics the world over and looks like the number is more with the well read class. Education is not equal to wisdom. Divine Wisdom is a function of hearing and hearkening to the Word of Adonai. If you are too big to hear and obey the word of Yahweh – the Bible, you are too big for success in marriage. If you are too educated to humble yourself before the Word of Elohim, you are too educated to succeed in marriage. Truth is truth. There is no new generation truth. Truth is timeless and ageless.

    The position of the wife in the family is a spiritually sensitive and strategic one. Contrary to several years of teaching that the success of the family hangs on the head of the home who is the husband of the home, the Word actually teaches that the rise and fall of a home is almost 100% dependent on the wife of the home. In almost all the New Testament references about the family, the first person to be addressed is the wife. In Ephesians, Colossians and Peter that addressed the home, the wife was always the first person to be addressed. Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) says something striking, ‘Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands’ Proverbs 23:4 says that ‘Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:’ Every building is built by the operation of Wisdom. This is very critical. How does the wise woman build her house? Our text explains how: wives submit to your husbands as unto the Lord. This is not human-made postulation. This is Divine Wisdom for a successful marital life. No matter your estate in life, if you submit to this Wisdom, you will enjoy peace like river in your home, even if Satan is your husband. Did you notice it says that you should submit to your own husband as to the Lord? That is in the same measure that you would submit to the Lord Yahushua, is exactly the same measure that you should submit to your own husband. That is grave to me, just thinking about it.

    Did you notice that I said that even if Satan is your husband, that you would have peace at home? That is exactly what 1 Peter 3:1-6 was explaining. The Apostle Peter says that even if your husband does not obey the word meaning is not a Christian, he may be won by your chaste character which he will observe. The wife wields so much influence in her home that she literally holds the rise and fall of the home. May the Lord give every wife wisdom to walk by the Word. Shalom!

    We shall continue with the husband tomorrow…

    REMEMBER: Submitting to your husband in everything is the wisdom for marital bliss.

    CONFESSION: I am a woman/man of wisdom. I walk by the word of the Lord, pleasing him in all my ways. I submit to my husband as unto the Lord and I receive the fruit of heaven on earth marriage Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you work in this wisdom as a wife, I declare peace, love and rest in your home in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WISDOM ENGENDERS IMPACTFUL SPIRITUAL LIFE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday May 27, 2024

    WISDOM ENGENDERS IMPACTFUL SPIRITUAL LIFE

    Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
    Deuteronomy 4:6 (KJV)

    Wisdom is hearing the Word and doing it. That was what the Lord Yahushua said in Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:“ As long as you remain in the Word, you are going to continue to function in Wisdom. Your spiritual life begins at new birth; at the time your spirit-man is quickened by the Holy Spirit; at the point of surrender to the Lordship of Yahushua HaMashiach (see Ephesians 2:1,5,6). Having come alive in HaMashiach, we have to walk in Wisdom to enjoy most successful relationship with Yahweh. The First thing about our lives as new creations is that the food of our recreated human spirit is the Word of Yahweh. 1 Peter 2:2 says, ‘As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:’ In John 6:63, the word says that ‘The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.’ To grow and mature spiritually, you must be addicted to the Bible in reading, studying, meditating and practising same. You cannot outgrow this process as long as you are on this side of eternity. How long can one go without food before the body wears out? Same applies spiritually, if you starve your spirit of the Word, it will soon die and you would return back to sin.

    Another thing about our recreated human spirit is that it has to breathe to live and what breathing is to the human body is what prayer is to the recreated human spirit. II Thessalonians 5:17 says that we should pray without ceasing. Prayer is the air we breathe to stay alive spiritually. Luke 18:1 says that we ought always to pray and not to faint. Prayer is an “always” thing. Then to intensify your prayer, you need to add fasting to it. The Lord Yahushua says that there are some kind of situation that will not respond except fasting is added (see Matthew 17:21; Mark 9:29). It is important to note that prayer and fasting does not change Yahweh but it changes you. As you read the word in prayer and fasting, your faith grows to believe Yahweh for more and it is to us according to our faith (see Matthew 9:29). Also don’t neglect praying in the Holy Spirit. Do that always!

    Another thing about our recreated human spirit is that it was created for fellowship not just with Yahweh but with the brethren. We are like wood, our impact is only possible when we come together. On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit lighted the Church not in their different houses but when they were gathered together (see Acts 2:1) and to maintain that fire, remaining together is inevitable. No matter the fire you claim to carry, you will naturally go off when you isolate yourself from fellowship of brethren (see Hebrews 10:25). This is the wisdom so many lacked that has extinguished their spiritual lives and fire.

    Lastly for space, our recreated human spirit needs exercise to remain fit. What physical exercise is to the body is what godliness is to our recreated human spirit (see I Timothy 4:7-8). Godliness is the outworking of the gift of righteousness which you received at new birth. The day to day manifestation of that righteousness results in reverence for Yahweh, peace and good works towards people.

    REMEMBER: It takes Wisdom to maintain your spiritual life.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive the grace to do all that is required to maintain my spiritual life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every indiscipline hindering your spiritual growth is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (7): WITHOUT HYPOCRISY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday May 26, 2024

    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 (see 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 pay-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 (see Rom. 12:9; 2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Pet. 1:22) and have faith without hypocrisy (see 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

    Saturday May 25, 2024

    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 to 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” (see 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 Yahweh, who is impartial, we begin to learn His 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 (5): GOOD WORKS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday May 24, 2024

    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (5): GOOD WORKS

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

    Good works are simply actions that are good. Yahweh is the creator and definer of good. It is good to do everything He says is good. For example, the Bible tells us that Yahweh’s law is good and is given for our good: “Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good” (Romans 7:12). “Keep the commandments of the LORD and His statutes which I command you today for your good” (Deuteronomy 10:13). Yahweh is the creator and definer of good. It is good to do everything He says is good. For example, the Bible tells us that Yahweh’s law is good and is given for our good. Some examples the Bible gives of good works include keeping the commandments and giving to the poor (see Matthew 19:16-21); giving alms secretly (see Matthew 6:3-4); and even just giving someone a cup of cold water (see Matthew 10:42).

    Let us see more biblical examples of good works. In Matthew 25:34-36 Yahushua gives several specific examples in His parable of the sheep and goats: “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’”

    The book of Acts celebrates the good works of a woman who died in the early years of the Church. “At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. … And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them” (Acts 9:36, 39). Paul explained that Christians should not only stop doing bad things, but should do the opposite. In Ephesians 4:28 he wrote, “Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labour, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.” Before we are converted, our “old man” does the works of the flesh, but our “new man” should do good works, reflecting the fruit of the Spirit. Everything that we do that is good can be called a good work, so studying and applying passages like Galatians 5:22-23 and Colossians 3:12-14 can help us grow in good works.

    James even defined right religion in terms of good works. “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27). James 2:16 demonstrates the importance of filling people’s physical needs, such as for clothing and food. Good works are the evidence of living faith, as James pointed out (in James 2:14-26). When this Wisdom from above is at work in your life, you will surely overflow in good works.

    REMEMBER: Good works is the manifestation of the Wisdom from above.

    CONFESSION: I am from above. I came with divine Wisdom making me overflow in good works everywhere I go. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that good works makes way for you this day for favour untold in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

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

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday May 23, 2024

    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, leans 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 (3): EASY TO BE INTREATED

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday May 22, 2024

    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (3): EASY TO BE INTREATED

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

    The Greek word translated easy to be entreated is ‘eupeithes’ meaning easily obeying, compliant. According to James 3:17, one of the signs that God’s wisdom is at work in a person’s heart is that he is “easy to be entreated.” Such a person is approachable, reasonable, willing to listen, to be persuaded, and to yield. He is not stubborn, obstinate, controlling, or overbearing. The “wisdom that is from above” produces a mildness of disposition, a meekness of spirit, that characterizes true gentleness (see James 3:13). This doesn’t mean that this attribute swallows everything that comes hook, line and sinker. It does not mean that it accepts injustice and puts up with unrighteousness. This Wisdom ensures that justice prevails. It ensures that unrighteousness is eliminated. However, this Wisdom listens and seeks to understand the position of others without asserting oneself.

    When someone has (or is being told by others that he really does have) an “it’s-my-way-or-the-highway” attitude, that is a sign that another kind of wisdom is at work in his heart. This is the wisdom that “descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish (see James 3:15). This ungodly wisdom may display knowledge, shrewdness, and tactical or logical skill in arguing its point. But according to James 3:16, it produces confusion or disorder, a state of instability and disturbance where nothing is as it should be. It opens the door to all kinds of evil, driving away peace and harmony.

    Clearly, Yahweh’s wisdom is preferable to devilish wisdom. Although much could be said about the wisdom of Yahweh, at the core, it is “Christ crucified” (see I Corinthians 1:22-24). Because mankind was dead in sin and a slave to it, Elohim became man and was crucified in our place. Therefore, we no longer live for ourselves, but for Him who died and rose again on our behalf (see II Corinthians 5:15). A wise man will remember what his sin cost Yahweh, and will continually think, “not my thoughts but Thy thoughts; not my will but Thy will; not “my way or the highway” but “Thy way.”

    The meekness of wisdom is the way out from control, manipulation, and being wise in one’s own eyes. When one is seeking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, then he will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord (see Colossians 1:9-10). He will “show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom” (James 3:13). And that wisdom will first be “pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness [will be] sown in peace [by] them that make peace (see James 3:17-18).

    REMEMBER: The Wisdom from above is easy to be entreated.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I ask that you help me to function with this attribute in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that you receive the grace to be easily entreated in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (2): PEACEABLE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    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 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 your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (1): PURE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (1): PURE

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

    From today to the next couple of days, we shall be looking at the hallmarks of this wisdom. These are the things that show forth that this wisdom from above is operational in you. The Lord Yahushua says in Matthew 7:16, “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” The Lord Yahushua HaMashiach, the wisdom of Yahweh, asked the Jews of His days confidently: “Which of you convinceth me of sin?” (see John 8:46). He was too sure of His walk of purity. Later it was said concerning Him, “And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?” (Matthew 13:54). It follows therefore that the wisdom on display in His life was rooted in purity. That is why to operate Yahweh’s wisdom, you must be pure, because the wisdom from above is not cunning or crafty, it is pure and open. Those petty things you engage in like bitterness, strife, envy and other works of the flesh are the things that hinder you from operating in the same frequency of wisdom as the Lord Yahushua did. Iniquity is a destroyer; you must destroy it before it destroys your destiny. Iniquity corrupts mentality and your mind is the seat of Wisdom. It follows that you cannot function in this Wisdom from above with iniquity. Sin is a sinker of destiny. Don’t play around it. Don’t feel comfortable with any sinful habit, because the end of sin is death. Galatians 6:7-8 says, “7 Be not deceived? God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption? but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

    Remember, Ezekiel 18:4 says, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” That means the nature of God in you, which should find expression in the display of wisdom, dies when you give in to habitual sinning, and you take on the nature of the devil which expresses itself in devilish wisdom – cheating, lying, distorting facts, etc. You have a glorious destiny in God, don’t let sin corrupt it. The cheapest way to live clean is to deal immediately with any satanic habit you notice manifesting in you, with the blood of Yahushua.

    Also purity is the highway to prosperity. This Wisdom from above says in Proverbs 8:18, “Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.” With Wisdom is durable riches and righteousness. You are eternally cut off with sin, unrighteousness and disobedience. Make your choice today. Do you want to function in this Wisdom? Purity is inevitable! Selah!

    REMEMBER: This Wisdom from above is first pure.

    CONFESSION: I function as the righteousness of HaMashiach, dispensing eternal verities everywhere I go. No iniquity is allowed around me at all. Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are delivered today from any form of impurity that disqualifies you from functioning in this Wisdom from above in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
