Wisdom For The Day Devotional 14 May 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo: You Are Not Expected To Live Life Ordinarily
TOPIC: You Are Not Expected To Live Life Ordinarily (TREM Devotional 14 May 2023)
“Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer” Proverbs 24:26 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
There is a wisdom that God is releasing upon His people today. And you cannot afford to be left behind. From our text, did you notice the word “EVERY”? Not some men! Not even many! But EVERY MAN! In other words, when God gives you the wisdom to handle the situations in the organization where you work or gives you the wisdom to create a unique product that solves problems in your industry, every man, including your avowed enemies, will kiss your lips. Why? It is simply because you have the right answer. There is a ‘right answer’ that God is waiting for you to tap into.
You are not expected to live life ordinarily like every other man. You are different. You are unique. You are God’s powerhouse. You are God’s ambassador. You are God’s representative, and the difference must be clear wherever you find yourself. One of the errors of the believer is that we copy things. When we see someone succeeding in an industry, we copy it and run into it. When we hear the testimony of an area of business opening up, we run into it blindly. But beloved, that is not God’s plan for you. He wants you to seek wisdom from His lips. He wants you to live by the proceeding word. He wants you to take instruction from Him.
Yes, a brother might be doing well in that particular area of business, your duty is to thank God sincerely for him and then seek the face of God concerning your area of business. There is a “there” for you. There is a “Goshen” that God has prepared for you, but you can only get there by living from the mouth of God. That is the wisdom for today. I challenge you today to take a quality decision to live from the mouth of God on a daily, hourly, and indeed minute-by-minute basis. I look forward to seeing you at the top.
