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!

How Do You Respond When You Hear About Jesus?

Every encounter with Jesus begins with a response. The difference between receiving a miracle and missing a blessing often depends on what you do when you hear about Him. Throughout Scripture, we see ordinary people who encountered Jesus—and their responses opened the door to extraordinary transformation. Let me share a few examples with you. Blind Bartimaeus: The Cry That Stopped Heaven When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, something within him came alive. Though he couldn't see with his natural eyes, his spirit was wide awake. He cried out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" (Mark 10:47). The crowd tried to silence him. They told him to be quiet and to stop making a scene. But Bartimaeus refused to let public opinion drown out his desperation for change. He understood something most people miss: moments of divine visitation must be seized, not analysed. You cannot afford to wait when destiny walks past your door. His cry was not just noise; it was faith...

God is Moved by Faith, Not Our Needs

Many believe that because God is all-knowing and loving, He will automatically meet our needs. However, while God is indeed aware of our needs, and He hears our prayers, He is not moved by them alone. In Matthew 6:8, Jesus tells us,  “For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.”  This verse emphasizes that God already knows what we need, but it does not negate our responsibility to ask Him. We must actively seek God’s help and provision. If we do nothing, God will not move on our behalf. The truth is, what moves God is faith. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly highlights the importance of faith in receiving God’s blessings and intervention. In Luke 12:28, Jesus says,  “If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?”  Here, Jesus underscores that it is not our needs that stir God to action but our faith in His ability to provide...

The Sinking Ship of the World

Dwell on the image of a luxury liner. Gleaming brass and polished wood. The music whispering out of the ballroom as passengers dance and dine oblivious to the water seeping in around the hull below.  That's our world. Not tomorrow's world. Not some far-off apocalyptic future, but the world you woke up in this morning.The Bible doesn't mince words about this. In Hebrews 12:26-27, we find an astonishing promise:  "At t time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, 'Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.' The words 'once more' indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain." Reread that. God isn't threatening to shake things. He's promising to shake them. And not just the earth this time, but the heavens too. Everything built from human imagination, will, and gathered might will be subjected to this sacred earthquake. What can be shaken will be sh...
