Wisdom For The Day Devotional 2 March 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Don’t Know Everything
TOPIC: You Don’t Know Everything (TREM Devotional 2 March 2024)
“If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all these people shall also go to their place in peace. So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.” Exodus 18:23-24
MESSAGE:
Beloved, never get to a point in life where no one can talk to you. No one can tell you anything because you believe that you know everything. I have watched people destroy what God gave to them because of their arrogance. Pride will cripple and reduce you to nothing. Be humble!
Moses was a man whom God supernaturally raised to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt. Through the hands of Moses, incredible signs, wonders, and miracles were wrought. God greatly anointed Moses, yet he did not know how to administer. He didn’t know. I don’t know who gave you the idea that you know everything simply because you are a leader. Who gave you that idea? The fact that you are called to lead does not mean that you know everything. Moses humbled himself and listened to his father-in-law, who, spiritually speaking, was inferior to him.
Beloved, you must understand that everyone that God has brought into His kingdom has something inside that God wants to use. You can’t ignore it and expect to go far. Recognize that others have something to contribute. You don’t know it all! Listen to others. Accept contributions from others. Otherwise, you and your organization or group will remain static. No achievements! And no result!
Jethro gave Moses counsel, and he received it. Jethro told the man who saw God that his actions were not good. Moses accepted the counsel and went on to succeed in his calling. You don’t know everything. Be humble enough to receive wise counsel from others. That is how to go far in life.

DAILY CONFESSION
The Lord has given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to speak a word in season. The Lord is a shield for me, my glory and the lifter up of my head. The Lord has heard my prayers. He made me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. (Isai 50:4, Ps 3:3, Ps 51:8)
The Lord will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come. And the Lord will fill this house with His glory. The silver and gold belongs to my Father and according to His word, the glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former, and in this place, the Lord will give me His peace. (Haggai 2:7-9)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, and I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.
It is my day of Great and Mighty Things!
