KINGDOM WISDOM 6: BE PATIENT.

    Sometimes we go through a rough period in our lives where in christian circles have come to call the desert, where we are tested to show growth. For some, their desert may be with their finances, for many others it might be sexual purity or even your integrity. As we appreciate when things are good, we also have to appreciate the desert and be patient enough to overcome it. YOU CAN NEVER BE PROMOTED SPIRITUALLY WITHOUT FIRST PASSING THROUGH THE DESERT. The desert is meant to forge our characters and makes us perfect in Christ if we persevere in faith. Take the time to analyze your situation. THE ANSWER IS RIGHT THERE IN JESUS CHRIST. So be patient, let God form you as He wants you to be so you have want for nothing. GOD BLESS YOU!

James 1:2; My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Amen.

THE TRUTH, KEY TO PROSPERITY:

Let’s use these coming weeks to tackle true prosperity. Everybody wants to prosper, right from our infancy to our adulthood, all we think of is how to be prosperous so we can do what we want and help those around us and believe it or not God wants to prosper us and make each and every one of us a solution to this world. But the question that remains is how to be prosperous.

3 John 2; Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Amen

                This takes out the question whether God wants us to prosper or not. He is the God of abundance and therefore He wants us to also prosper. The apostle says something that is very capital but we tend to neglect it in our quest for prosperity and blessings. Looking at this passage tells us that ONE CAN PROSPER IN HIS BODY WHILES HIS SOUL DOESN'T PROSPER. So for us to really prosper we have to start from our soul because Jesus could say in Mark 8:36; For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Amen. Prosperity in our soul is shown to us when we start our reading from 3 John 1; The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth. Amen. This points to us the truth because he says "whom I love in the truth". To be able to prosper in our soul, we have to first be in the truth.

                To be in the truth? Yes the Word of God says. Proverbs 4:18 says But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day. Amen. What else characterizes the just or the righteous if not the truth? TRUTH IS THE STARTING POINT OF PROSPERITY BECAUSE IT IS THE NATURE OF GOD. Where ever there is the truth, prosperity reigns, because the light shines continuously. As riches is useless to a prisoner, if your soul isn't free, your riches serve you for nothing. KNOWING THE TRUTH ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH, DWELLING IN IT IS WHAT MATTERS THE MOST. Dwelling in the truth helps us beloved dwell in the light and everything we do is what satisfies our soul and that is why the apostle added in 3 John 3; For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than these things, to hear that my children walk in the truth. Amen. It will be just talk if we don't get to know truth himself. The truth that sets our souls free, the truth that shines on our paths allowing us to make the right decisions, speak the right words and prosper our souls and our bodies as well. In John 14:6 Jesus says to us  I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me. Amen. JESUS IS THE TRUTH! The one capable of prospering our souls and bodies. The only Son of the Living God! TO BE ABLE TO REALLY PROSPER IN BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT, JESUS SHOULD BE THE CENTRE OF OUR LIVES.

                Let's take some time out to really analyze our lives, whether we know the truth, whether we are walking in the truth or not, because beloved, I strongly believe the time has come where our Father wants us to prosper and be in good health as prospers our souls. GOD BLESS YOU!!! AMEN.

KINGDOM WISDOM 5: YOUR SEED.

Genesis 1:11; And God said, Let the earth bring forth tender sprouts (the herb seeding seed and the fruit tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself) upon the earth; and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth tender sprouts, the herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed was in itself. And God saw that it was good. Amen.

Every seed is bound to grow and produce fruits with numerous seeds guaranteeing you a perpetual harvest. The condition is to sow the right seed.

A seed is a deliberate and continuous action you undertake. The type of seed you sow determines your harvest. A seed of truth and honesty guarantees you a harvest of freedom and joy. A seed of faith guarantees a miracle but on the other hand as Job 4:8 puts it As I have seen, the ones who plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same. Amen, your seed of alcohol guarantees you a harvest of depression, sorrow and liver problems. Consider the outcomes of your seed before sowing it.

Galatians 6:7; Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap. 8 For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit. 9 But we should not lose heart in well–doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not faint. Amen.

KINGDOM WISDOM 4: STRENGTH FOR ALL SEASONS.

Matthew 26:41; Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Amen.

                Temptation is a tool the enemy uses to stop us from accomplishing the will of God for our lives. Prayer is the ultimate and lasting solution to temptation.

Jesus never did anything without prayer. In fact He had places and times for prayer like in Matthew 14:23. Prayer energizes your spirit to overcome the desires of your flesh. When we pray, a shake occurs in the spiritual, and balance is restored in our lives. A man who doesn't pray is always vulnerable for a fall.

James 5:17; Elijah was a man of like passion as we are. And he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for the time of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to sprout. Amen

KINGDOM WISDOM 3: TIME AND SEASONS.

Ecclesiastes 3:1; To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens. Amen.

                What says your time right now? What have you done that is profitable up until this moment? Champions are productive people!

                Time is a constant factor in our lives. It adds on but doesn't come back. Yesterday's 12 O'clock noon isn't the same as today and will never be as that of tomorrow. What you didn't do yesterday wakes you waste time doing them today. A season for everything says Solomon in Ecclesiastes 3:1. A season of high productivity and that of low productivity. Do you actually know the season you are in right now? Seasons change but time is constant. A champion maximizes the time he has in a season of productivity so his output isn't affected during the season of low output.

Ephesians 5:15; See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Amen.

KINGDOM WISDOM: GET WISDOM.

1 Kings 10:27; And the king made silver like stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars like the sycamore trees in the valley for abundance. Amen.

                The difference between Israel and the rest of the world was in their anointed King Solomon and the wisdom he had. Wisdom always makes the difference.

               Wisdom is having right insight, knowledge is the application of wisdom but without understanding, you will miss the whole mark set aside for you to attain. Wisdom knows exactly when to put something in action, Knowledge knows how to place the necessary action and Understanding tells you exactly what to do at the right time and in the right way. This trio put together will guarantee a recipe for success. It is very difficult to find an unsuccessful Wiseman, this is why Solomon tells us...

Proverbs 4:5; Get wisdom, get understanding; forget not; nor turn away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she shall preserve you; love her, and she shall keep you. 7 Wisdom is the main thing; get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding. Amen.

KINGDOM WISDOM 1: RIGHT CHOICES.

                In life the your choices always matter the most. How? Every decision you make has an impact on your future one way or the other. Choosing to work hard has success as a future. This is an inevitable truth. In John 10:10 Jesus points to us that He has come that we have life and have it more abundantly. Abundant life. A life where you have no worries, no fears and most of all where all your needs are met in a wonderful way called faith. Also in John 14:6 He says to us, Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me. Amen. It's a choice you alone can make, if I could I would make it for you but you have to make it yourself. Choose wisely. God bless you.

Deuteronomy 30:19; I call Heaven and earth to record today against you. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your seed may live. Amen.
