“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the almighty giveth them understanding [Light].” Job 32:8
Happy New Year!!
The opening verse of scripture tells us a deep truth: the truth of how light, inspiration, wisdom and knowledge enters into the life of a man.
II Timothy 3:16 - “All scripture is given by inspiration of God….” You cannot in all truth be correct in terms of scriptures without the assistance of God - in our time and dispensation, without the help of the Holy Spirit.
Do you need knowledge and tactics to save that ailing marriage, bring back a rebellious son or save your friend from the jaws of Satan? Then you and I need to get hooked up and connected with the
Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:26 - 27 tells us that He [ the Holy Spirit] bears our infirmities and we do not know how we ought to pray but He helps us out. Another scripture tells us that He will teach us and lead us in all truth ( John 16: 13).
Romans 8: 14 - 17 informs us that we are assured of God's presence and mandate that has made us His children with a sure word of an inheritance.
In the book of James chapter 1:5 - God said: “Ask for wisdom….”
Proverbs 24: 3 - 6 reinforces the importance of God’s light in building both a home and business. It is needed for the activation of His covenant with us (Deuteronomy 8:18).
How do we receive Light from God:
We receive light from God in simple faith ( James 1: 5 - 8). His Spirit already dwells in us and God is far more ready to guide and guard us than we are ever ready to receive His protection. Wisdom and knowledge is a protection and at all times, it bring in profits of all kinds but the highest of them all is understanding: and the Lord urges us that: “with all thy getting, get understanding” (Proverbs 4: 7).
My prayer for us this year is that we enter into God’s understanding for our lives and by so doing, those around us would find purpose and destiny because we are shining lights.
The fear [Honor and respect]of the Lord is wisdom (Job 28:28). As we honor God the Lord with our lives, we are assured of His guidance and wisdom to direct us and profit us in all affairs of life.
Do have a very purposeful and prosperous 2017 in Jesus name: amen.
