Wisdom For Conflict (4)
MEMORY VERSE:
Luke 2:52.
“52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 13:7-9.
“7. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Beloved, Happy Weekend to you all. Today our focus is the need for wisdom during conflict and crisis. There’s always a way to avoid crisis and conflict in every situations. Everyone sees the signs of conflict before it emanates but we always try to take our stand instead of applying the wisdom of God. Not all battle need to be fought, there are crisis that can be handled before they mature but we choose to wait to handling the crisis without applying wisdom.
Father Abraham brought Lot with him while leaving His father’s house. As they moved together, he also became wealthy as Abraham had wealth and the land was not able to contain them. Abraham, a man of wisdom, saw the seed of conflict between their herdsmen and applied wisdom by calling his nephew to choose anywhere desirable for himself so as to avoid crisis. This is wisdom in display. Lot chose for himself out of greediness but Abraham ended up on the fertile land. You don’t need to wait till crisis grows, you need to kill it by wisdom. Sometimes letting go of something is the needed wisdom to avoid conflict and free oneself from unnecessary situation. Wisdom is needed to succeed in marriage, work place, in your environment and among your siblings. Don’t always prove right, apply wisdom and the devil will fail.
Good Day and God bless you.
