Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 44, Day 6: Friday, 3rd November, 2023. TOPIC: Walking In The Wisdom Of God. Request With Wisdom (3)

13. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

14. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.”

Welcome to the continuation of our study on “Walking In The Wisdom Of God.” Yesterday we saw how a wise response changed the mind of Jesus Christ to do what He decided not to do. Today, our study is about ‘Request With Wisdom’. Many has faced a lot of rejection for lack of wisdom in making request. Even in marriage, when spouse don’t know how to present their request with wisdom, it mostly ends absurd and leads to separation or even lost of life in some other areas. How a request is presented matters a lot.

Three captains of fifties were sent to bring Elijah down but only one applied wisdom while making the request. The other two ended their life for not presenting their request wisely. Most time, we are not hated when we are being rejected it’s our presentation that lacks wisdom. The third captain of the fifty applied wisdom and the angel gave Elijah the go ahead to go down with him. How do you present your request? Are you power intoxicated when making your request? Is it with arrogance, pride or “too know” that you’re making your request? Some presented their request angrily, which averted the right response. When you make your request, apply wisdom. Let the wisdom of God guide your mouth and brain, and the angel of God will confirm your request speedily in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.
