Fruitful living 4

" And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?" 2 kings 5:13

What are you doing with the information at your disposal? Fruitful living is the result of positive response to quality information, be it spiritual or physical.  Naaman the leper was told to go and wash in Jordan, he was angry. He had suggestions of the river where he should wash and he was also angry that the Prophet did not come out to see him. He was a successful soldier, but he was behaving as a fool with regards to his sound health.  He was fortunate to have wise servants around him who told him to do what the Prophet had instructed. Be humble enough to listen to people who know what you don’t know. Be humble enough to listen to people who have the information you need. Be aggressive enough to use the information you have if you want to live a fruitful life.

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5

Beloved, we are in an information driven world. What you don’t know can kill you. Most problems in this world are sustained by ignorance or foolishness. Ignorance is when you don’t know. Foolishness is when you know and you don’t do what you know.

May your life be fruitful. May you be filled with the wisdom and the power of God in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God let my life be fruitful and profitable in Jesus name.
