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❤️💯

  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...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
