TO GET WISDOM (3): EXIST IN THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)

The fear of the Lord is the foundation for everything that is coming down from heaven. Every other gift from the Lord apart from Salvation is a function of the fear of the Lord. Salvation brings you to the fear of the Lord. Even though at Salvation, you are holy, made a holy priesthood, however, the matter of the fear of the Lord is a choice every believer must make. Proverbs 1:29 says, ‘For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:’ Until you make the choice for the fear of the Lord in your life, you don’t have a chance with this Wisdom that turns the mountains by the roots. We saw a valid example in Daniel. The Wisdom that Yahweh gave Daniel was on the altar of the fear of the Lord when Daniel made a solid choice out of the fear of the Lord not to defile himself. Daniel 1:8 says, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Daniel? “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” (Daniel 1:17). The fear of the Lord is the foundation for Wisdom. You want to flow in this Wisdom from above? Then you must make the choice for the Fear of the Lord today.

THE PERILS OF LIVING WITHOUT VISION

THE PERILS OF LIVING WITHOUT VISION

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

Let us see several Bible translations of Proverbs 29:18. NLT says, “When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.” Easy-to-read Version (ERV) says, “If a nation is not guided by God, the people will lose self-control, but the nation that obeys God’s law will be happy.” GNB says, “A nation without God’s guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God’s law!” The Passion Translation(TPT) says, “When there is no clear prophetic vision, people quickly wander astray. But when you follow the revelation of the Word, heaven’s bliss fills your soul.” CEV says, “Without guidance from God law and order disappear, but God blesses everyone who obeys his Law.” Let’s collate these translations cited. What it is all about is that without vision, you perish, run wild, lose self-control, exist orderless, wander astray, and experience the disappearance of law and order in your life. I think these different translations have given us in details the dangers of living without vision. This perish is both in time and ultimately in eternity. It is vision that makes you keep eternity in view in your day to day operations. That is why perishing is inevitable without vision because just like New Living Translation (NLT) tells us, you would run wild. You will begin to live like every other person, “let us eat and drink, tomorrow we die.” (see Isaiah 22:13). You can run wild into alcoholism, pornography, sexual pervasions of all manner, squandermania, and all manner of unprintable addictions. All these are the product of lack of vision, people running wild.

HOW TO COME BY YOUR VISION

HOW TO COME BY YOUR VISION

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
Habakkuk 2:1 (KJV)

Our opening text is describing a prayer situation and position. That presupposes that the quest to get your divine vision requires you to take a prayer posture. This prayer demand accounts why so many in the body of HaMashiach hasn’t known Yahweh’s purpose and plans for them till date. It is not gotten on the platter of gold; it takes some prayer posture beloved. One major characteristics of a genuine vision is that it has its source in Yahweh. If you want to hear, “well-done, good and faithful servant” (see Matthew 25:21,23), you must ensure that you get your vision from the Lord. Any vision that does not have its source in Yahweh leads to destruction. It might flourish for a while but certain destruction is inevitable. Even if you are applauded here on earth by people, what becomes of you when you stand before the throne of Him to whom we have to do? (see Hebrews 4:13). A vision is sought for and acquired by man/woman. Everyone through separation seeks his own vision. No one can seek a vision for another person. Vision is an individual, personal affair. It is not a collective affair. A man/woman who desires a vision must necessarily separate himself from every distraction and make enquiries from Yahweh.

DANGERS OF LIVING WITHOUT PURPOSE

DANGERS OF LIVING WITHOUT PURPOSE

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:8 (KJV)

Firstly, meaning in life is a function of purpose. You will not be able to wrap your mind around existence if you fail to discover your purpose. Can you imagine being in a journey that has no destination and objective. A wise man had said that if you don’t know where you are going, everywhere will look like it. Meaninglessness is a function of purposelessness. People are growing up, going to school, getting a job or running a business and living life without defining why. “Why am I living?” Are you living just to get degrees, get the best paying jobs, buy the best car and house and then continue like that? There is nothing more vain like living without purpose. It makes you live for things and as long as you live for things, you will live in mirage.

WISDOM BRINGS YOU TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

WISDOM BRINGS YOU TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Jeremiah 1:5 (AMPC)

Purpose is the original intention for the creation of a thing. Purpose is the reason for the making of a thing. Purpose is the thought in the mind of the manufacturer that necessitated the making of a thing. Nothing that is created is without a purpose. But the purpose of a thing cannot be known from the thing. You cannot ask a mobile phone for instance, “what is your purpose?” It does not know its purpose. Purpose is only known from the maker or manufacturer of a product. That is the reason, every manufacturer accompanies their product with a manual that describes the purpose, functions and maintenance of its product. If you want to know the purpose, functions and how to maintain the mobile phone, it behoves on you to consult the manufacturer’s manual. So many people carry mobile phones that are laden with extraordinary functions beyond texting, calling and receiving calls, but are not making use of those functions because they are ignorant that those functions exist in those phones they are using. Man is a product of Yahweh. Genesis 1:27 says, ‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.’ Beloved, you are not a biological accident. No matter, how you came, you are a product of pre-ordination of Yahweh. He picked you, out of the millions competing spermatozoa released. You are not an accident.

HOW DOES THE WORD BUILD UP (3): BY IMPARTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL

HOW DOES THE WORD BUILD UP (3): BY IMPARTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Colossians 1:9 [KJV]

The Knowledge of Yahweh’s Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding is the goldmine that when you hit it, your life and world turns around 360 degrees instantly. Coming to the knowledge of His Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding is so crucial that you should be praying like Apostle Paul both for yourself and especially for your family members to come to this dimension in the Word. The Knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and spiritual understanding means coming to know the will of Yahweh and being filled with the spiritual understanding to process it as it relates to you and receiving the Wisdom to apply it to your life in order to come into the reality of what it is saying. Firstly is knowing the Will of Yahweh and the Will of Yahweh is what is in the Word, the Bible. The Bible is the Will of Yahweh for you the believer. The Will defines your inheritance and allotments; that is exactly what the Word does, showing you what belongs to you in HaMashiach and the path to take to take delivery of it. Knowing the Will of Yahweh is critical because, you can only act according to knowledge. But then, knowledge alone is not enough.

AWESOMENESS OF PRAISE (8): YAHWEH TAKES OVER YOUR BATTLES

AWESOMENESS OF PRAISE (8): YAHWEH TAKES OVER YOUR BATTLES

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, …
2 Chronicles 20:17 (KJV)

‘You shall not need to fight in this battle.’ That is Yahweh taking over the battle from your hands. Praise is like tapping Yahweh to take over the battle while you step out of the ring and watch. That is how we emerge more than conquerors. We don’t fight, but we always win. Yahweh fights for us because in praise we hand over the battle to Him. In Second Chronicles 20, three kings came up against Judah. Three great armies with great multitude came against Jehoshaphat. King Jehoshaphat turned to the Lord and sought the Lord with prayer and fasting, then Yahweh told them that the battle is not theirs but His. How did they hand that battle over to the Lord? They set themselves to sing and praise the Lord. That is how to hand your battle over to the Lord, thank Him, sing and celebrate Him. It doesn’t matter who is against you, the battle is the Lord’s and you know if Yahweh is fighting for you, you have already won. You are more than a conqueror in HaMashiach (see Romans 8:37). All you need is to allow Yahweh to take over your battles and that is only possible in praise. Whatever cannot stand Yahweh cannot stand praise. That is the reason the greatest battles in your life will always bow to praise. When you become ‘a lion of praise’ roaring loud and clear from your heart to the Lord, you cannot be stopped. When you become valiant in praise, you become more than a conqueror in life.
