God’s desire for our faith not to be based on the wisdom of man, the wisdom of this age, but on the wisdom of God!

Greetings to you, dear friends! I pray that your life would be filled with the glory of God on this day, because of the wisdom that God pours out on us through His Word!Let’s turn to the Word of God.
«And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory» (1 Corinthians, 2:4-7).
The Apostle Paul speaks to us about God’s desire for our faith not to be based on the wisdom of man, the wisdom of this age, but on the wisdom of God. Only God’s wisdom is meant to bring us into the place of glory. The wisdom of God glorifies and exalts us. It is very important for us to open up our hearts and to receive God’s wisdom. Today we often hear about Chinese wisdom, Russian wisdom, Babylonian wisdom etc. But how wonderful it is that we have been given God’s wisdom! The wisdom of God is the highest form of wisdom for all the living. Only this wisdom is able to transform human life, changing it from within (from inside out). That is why God wants our faith to be based on His wisdom and not the wisdom of men.The following Scriptures the shows obvious superiority of God’s wisdom over the human wisdom, which is labelled as earthly, sensual and demonic.
«Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy» (James, 3:13-17).
That is why it is important to let God’s Spirit open up to you and me the depth of God’s Word, so that our lives may be filled with the wisdom of God, which is able to elevate us and ease our ways.Ask God today to give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that the deep things of God’s Word would open up to you like never before.Remember, that every person who realizes the lack of wisdom in his or her life and who asks God in faith will receive from God lots of wisdom for his life.May God abundantly bless you this day!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Why does Satan hate it and is afraid of the prayers of the children of God? This is because in a prayer, we and God become a team – an invincible team. In the Book of Daniel, there is a description of an event when a certain group of people prompted the king to issue a law prohibiting contact in a prayer with the living God. Except for the living God, they were allowed to pray any other gods. They were allowed to ask for help to people, but not only living God. And it was Satan´s plan. Why does Satan put these obstacles? Because he realized that the prayer is power.

    The question arises why so many people start their walk with God but turn aside in one of the crossroads of life; they turn back to where they came from. It reminds me the story of Jewish people. For a long time this nation was in slavery in Egypt. They were burdened by hard work with no payment. The nation of Israel cried out to God, and God delivered them and brought them out of Egypt. They had to walk to the Promised Land. Every day they were getting closer to it. There were difficulties on their way; they had to flee some wrong things, avoid making wrong decisions, wrong relationships; they had to overcome grumbling and complaining. Israelites had to obtain more and more knowledge of God while heading towards their Promised Land.
