Wisdom is key!

 Luke  17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.  

17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 

 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.


One part of the scriptures that has always ministered wisdom to me tremendously and the many blessings that could come as a result of a wise step is the scriptures above. It is a story usually used to refer to the Power of Thanksgiving, however, not many take on it for the power of wisdom it projects. The story takes deep from the encounter of the Ten lepers with Jesus, these lepers who had been outcasts as a result of their disease would once again find liberty through the ever tender mercies of God. However, the astounding part of this story is that Jesus ministered healing to the ten lepers, however, only one leper got the full package. Jesus, on meeting them had told them to go show themselves to the priests as it was customary in Israel that when a man was healed with leprosy, the priest was the one who certifies him clean to return to the society, so, on their way, when they saw themselves healed, one of them didn't bother continuing the journey to the priest, but rather turned back, and came to give Jesus thanks, and as a result of that He was made whole,i.e recovering all He lost as a result of the sickness, then Jesus told him to go his way, but one would rather say Jesus wasn't just in this story, wasn't He the one who told the lepers to go show themselves to the priest? Why didn't He allow them get to the priests first and then come back to thank Him? Why did He allow this one leper who turned back on his way to doing what Jesus had told them to do? One could put up this argument for the other 9 lepers because it was clear in Jesus' response that to God, the other 9 hadn't come to give thanks and weren't made whole. However, what Jesus expected them to know as they went healed was that the priest He was sending them to go meet was Himself, a heart of gratitude is towards the one who the help comes from, little wonder, it was a Samaritan who would grasp that understanding, and received the full healing package from God. This Samaritan had been preserved and promoted by wisdom.Wisdom made him know who deserved the true gratitude. Wisdom can make your package fuller than another who received the same thing as you. Wisdom is key! Do have a beautiful day ahead today❤️💯

Priority information

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
