TOPIC: Walking In The Wisdom Of God.
What Wisdom Is Not – Is Not Cheating (13)
MEMORY VERSE:
Luke 2:52.
“52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 13:10-11.
“10. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.”
Beloved of God, i welcome you to this new week, may the Lord guide our path in wisdom in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
As we move further to know more about wisdom, our focus is to identify what wisdom is not. Many has termed many thing wisdom which is not. Let’s start with Wisdom Is Not Cheating. Cheating is a deception to profit oneself, not being faithful to one’s spouse, changing acceptable standard, taking what belongs to someone or depriving others their full wages. Cheating is cheating, either small or big, it can’t be wisdom. When you award a contract and cut the profit to your self, it isn’t wisdom, it’s cheating. When files isn’t treated because you weren’t settled, it’s not smartness or wisdom, it’s cheating.
Lot was presented with an open check by his uncle, Abraham, but he saw it as an avenue to cheat thinking it’s wisdom. With his physical eyes, he chose the best part ahead of His uncle. He never considered how Abraham’s livestock would live, but God who was with Abraham, (the wise man) gave him a pleasant and milky land better than Lot. When you cheat others in the name of wisdom you denied yourself God’s real purpose for your life. Cheating is not wisdom and God doesn’t bless through it. Blessing from cheating doesn’t last compare to God’s wisdom, ask Lot he will tell you. Differentiate Wisdom from cheating.
Good Day and God bless you.
