Wisdom For The Day Devotional 9 November 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Connect To God’s Wisdom
TOPIC: Connect To God’s Wisdom (TREM Devotional 9 November 2024)
“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are His:” Daniel 2:20 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Reading through the account in Daniel 2, it is clear that unlike the astrologers, magicians and Chaldeans, who had no answer and no place to turn to for a solution, Daniel knew differently. He knew he had God who reveals deep and secret things. The book of Daniel 11:32 says that: “… the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel had confidence in God, and he approached the situation from that standpoint.
If you genuinely must leverage this wisdom ordained for your glory, then you must be connected to the Father, the Source of all knowledge and wisdom. Proverbs 2:7 addresses this. God “stores up sound wisdom for the upright…” Who is the upright? The one who is in a relationship with God. The new creation in Christ! The one who has been declared righteous through the perfect sacrifice of Christ. Daniel had the boldness and confidence to go to God when confronted with that problematic situation because of the relationship he had developed.
What is the condition of your relationship with your Father? What is the quality of your prayer life? As believers, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues. But how many of us take advantage of this? God reveals incredible things in righteousness when we pray in tongues, but some don’t know it.
Beloved, you are called to be the lighthouse wherever you find yourself. In your office, you should be indispensable because of the wisdom of God that is revealed through you. However, you must take your relationship with God seriously. Daniel operated on the superior platform of godly wisdom and was distinguished. God revealed the king’s dream and its interpretation to him. God will reveal deep things to you if you stay connected. I pray that the wisdom of God will make you a solution provider to your world.
