Get Wisdom, Get Understanding!
(Proverbs 4:5-6 ) Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
I usually tell young people, if you refuse to listen to your Parents instructions, your Pastors teachings, your teachers in school, one day, you may have to listen to the police or the lawyers etc.
There must be someone in your life that you are listening to! And before you come with the ''I listen to the Holy Spirit'' talk, make sure that on the day, when you are told to produce a character reference on your CV for a Job, you put the Holy Spirit there and heaven as the address and Post Code, you can not dishonour the men that God has placed around you and claim to honour God.
Verse 6 of the scripture above says, forsake not wisdom, and she will preserve thee.
The word for ''preserve'' in Hebrew is ''Shamar'' it means to protect or watch over. This means, if you forsake wisdom, your will be exposed to dangers, you will not be protected. Brothers and sisters, when you give wisdom a chance, it can watch over you, it will protect you.
Did you know that one mistake can ruin your life forever? Just one silly and foolish decision can destroy everything you have laboured for in life, this will not be your portion in Jesus name.
in 1914, a young student from Bosnia called Gavrilo Princip woke up one day and decided to commit murder, he killed Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and this was what sparked the start of the first world war 17million people died and 25 million people wounded. One mans foolishness lead the world into war. Foolishness is very expensive.
There are people who are in their 40's today that have not recovered from the foolishness of the actions they took in their teens. One mistake can cause you a lifetime of regrets and pain.
CONFESSION
From this very moment, I affirm that I will be wisdom conscious in all that I do
I will apply my heart to wisdom everyday of my life
I will not let pride rob me of my Joy and happiness
I will be humble to receive God's wisdom at every given opportunity
Because of God's wisdom, my life is moving from Glory to Glory, Amen
