Destiny Instruments 1

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:52

The greatest instrument of destiny fulfilment is wisdom. Howard Carter wrote that the greatest gift of the Spirit is the word of wisdom and I agree with him. You cannot walk in wisdom and fail in life. A fool, even though may be hard working, will not only weary himself but the people that are supporting him as well (Ecclesiastes 10:15). Jesus walked in wisdom so mighty signs were done through him (Mark 6:3). Wisdom makes a man to avoid wastage of strength and efforts (Ecclesiastes 10:10). You can obtain anything on earth if you have the wisdom to do so!

Wisdom is simply making use of the information you have received. The scriptures identified four kinds of wisdom depend on the information source (James 3:15-17). The first is earthly or common sense which you obtain as a result of the environment in which you grew up. Everyone you have met in life has taught you something starting from your parents. The second is sensual or intellectual wisdom. This is as a result of the skill you have learned and developed either as a student or an apprentice. The third one is devilish, this is obtained through contact with the devil (Acts 8:9-11, Acts 16:16-18). The fourth one is the wisdom from God which you obtain through the Holy Spirit and revelation from the scriptures.

Not all common sense is useful particularly when it is against God, and you must be skillful at least in one thing to fulfil your destiny.  Never go to the devil to obtain wisdom, it leads to destruction. Any kind of wisdom which is against God will still lead to destiny failure. May you operate in God-given wisdom in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh Lord give me the wisdom to deal wisely in all affairs of life in Jesus name.
