GREAT WORKS
I read of a man whose home was visited by armed robbers who made away with valuables. As soon as they left, he rushed to his library and discovered to his delight that none of his books were touched. Fools, he said to himself, they do not know that wisdom from those books produced the tangibles they made away with.
The unfortunate thing about this side of the globe is that we value tangible things a great deal over the intangibles. That is why we vote undeveloped minds into governance because they have assets.
Where this becomes really painful is where the church of the living God that should be the pillar of wisdom in the society is not spared from the scourge. It is lamentable that we raise money for all manner of projects in our churches but cannot put good books in the hands of our youths. If I may ask, what book are the youths in your church reading this week? What of the women?
Mathew 13:54 says, And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue in so much that they were astonished, and said, whence hath this man this wisdom and these mighty works. Wisdom and mighty works go hand in hand and that is why it is the principal thing.
Wisdom is a builder. Proverbs 24:3 says, Through wisdom is an house builded: and by understanding it is established. Never forget that you are the temple (house) of God. Make wisdom your pursuit. The Bible is a wisdom bank. Create time for it. Never forget that wisdom and great works are twins. You will do great things for your world in Jesus name.
We highly recommend our book titled HOW TO FLOURISH IN RECESSION this week. Available in any branch of the Bible Wonderland bookshops, Laterna, CRM in the Camp and other bookshops. You are blessed.
