Be Wise

Saturday 7 November
READ: Luke 12:16-21
MORE LESSON: Eph 5: 15 - 17

The Bible talks about a man who was rich but foolish-he was called the Rich Fool. I wonder, “How can a rich man be foolish?” But then I realize that you could be rich but foolish, you could be pretty but foolish, and you could be learned but foolish. If a professor of Biology goes to the herbalist's shrine and he is given green water laden with spirogyra, and he drinks it happily because he wants spiritual power, isn't that the height of foolishness? He should have been the wiser for all his education.

When a Christian patronizes herbalists because he needs power; it is foolishness. He gives all the money, chickens and goats God blessed him with to herbalists, spiritualists and false prophets. It is foolishness that makes a man carry the property that God blessed him with and donates such to the devil. A wise Christian knows that all the defense, fortification and power he needs becomes resident in him when he gives his life to Jesus. He doesn't need to run up and down looking for solution because Jesus – The Solution Bank – lives in him. It is foolishness to run helter-skelter, looking for what God has already deposited in you. Believers that do not know what they carry are foolish. However, this is the time to be wise and stir up the deposit of God inside you so that you can kick the devil far from you.

A wise man is strong. Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength. (Prov. 24: 5) The wisdom you need is in knowledge. First of all, if you have not accepted the Lord Jesus as Lord; you need to have the knowledge of Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Jesus is the end to all life's nightmares. You need to know Him as Lord. If you are saved but do not yet know the riches of glory that is in you, the knowledge of God's Word is what you need to enter into your inheritance. Because only those that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits (Dan 11: 33)

A man was praying on a mountain in his village as it was his custom. Then all the herbalists in the village came with charms to make incantation against him, claiming that he was disturbing them. He neglected their threats and continued with his prayer. At a point they got angry and shouted, 'can't you see us with all our incantations?' He replied, 'I can see you, so what?' They told him they have come to fight him and he bid them welcome. He then invited them to come closer to him, and they began to complain of an invisible barricade. They eventually turned back in disgrace.
This is the type of God you carry. If you however, do not know it, you could pay dearly in the enemy’s hand. The wise man is the one who is ruled by the spirit of God on his inside. Be wise and accept Jesus.
