Why We Should Seek God's Wisdom

In life, we face many challenges, but the wisdom of God gives us hope. It guides us through the unknown with a promise of something greater than we can imagine. The scriptures offer us a glimpse into God's boundless power as stated in Ephesians 3:20–21, which says,

"Now to Him who can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

This verse shows that God's wisdom surpasses our expectations and desires. It works on a higher plane, operating according to the divine power within us, orchestrating outcomes that surpass our wildest dreams.

The story of Daniel and his friends is a testament to this truth. They faced the threat of annihilation for their inability to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, but they did not lose hope. They sought the mercies of the God of heaven, believing in the supremacy of His wisdom over earthly knowledge. God rewarded their faith with a revelation that spared their lives and revealed the futility of worldly wisdom.

“Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” Daniel 2:17–19.

Sometimes, we may question God's presence when we don't receive an immediate response to our pleas. However, it is often in those moments of stillness that God orchestrates His most extraordinary works. His wisdom unfolds in supernatural ways, leaving us in awe of His providence.

“For the Wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness.”” 1 Corinthians 3:19.

Therefore, let us hold steadfast in our faith, trusting in God’s infinite wisdom. Let us wait upon the Lord with unwavering hope, for His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. In every circumstance, let us emulate Daniel, wholly relying on the wisdom of our heavenly Father. He is the architect of our victory, weaving a masterpiece from the threads of our lives.

Blessings!

Understand Your Identity in Christ

We live in a world that often seems confusing. Identity—once rooted in truth, community, and divine design—has become fragmented. Many today feel like they are drowning in society’s expectations, chasing after titles, images, and affirmations as if they were lifelines in a storm. But the world is fickle. Its validation is fleeting, and its approval often comes at a cost. As a result, we find ourselves lost, doubting who we are, questioning our worth, and searching for something that already exists within us but remains hidden. This identity crisis is not accidental; it’s one of the enemy’s oldest and most effective tactics. If he can confuse who you are, he can also confuse what you do. And if he can confuse what you do, he can derail why you’re here. That's why so many today are redefining their identities based on whatever the world currently applauds—appearance, fame, even gender. This shift is not born out of rebellion but from despair. When you don’t know who you are in...

The Devil Has No Permission Over Your Life Unless You Give It to Him

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8 . Many people live in fear of the enemy, believing he has free rein to wreak havoc in their lives. Yet, the truth is that the devil does not have free access to your peace, health, or family. He cannot simply impose disease, destruction, or despair upon you. If the devil truly could attack anyone at will, 1 Peter 5:8 would state that he devours whomever he chooses. The fact that he must seek indicates that some individuals are "undevourable". What Makes You "Undevourable"? The devil operates like a roaring lion, attempting to intimidate and instil fear. But he is not the true Lion. The true Lion is Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5), who has already defeated the devil. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus rendered powerless the one who held the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). When you understand that Jesus r...

The Discipline of Perception: We Receive People the Way We Perceive Them

Perception isn’t just how we see the world—it’s how we engage with it. It’s how we interpret people, situations, opportunities, and setbacks. And here's the uncomfortable truth: most of us are walking around misperceiving what matters most. In John 4, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well. To her, He appears to be just another thirsty traveller. An ordinary Jew. Nothing special. Then Jesus speaks. “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” — John 4:10 (NKJV) That’s the pivot point. If she had known—if she had seen rightly—she would have responded differently. Eventually, her perception shifts. After Jesus reveals her past, she says: “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.” — John 4:19 (NKJV) She saw more clearly—and her future was changed. Perception is power. The ability to see rightly, without distortion, gives us clarity in chaos, wisdom in uncertainty, and access to...
