Dear Friends and Family,
I greet you from my beloved Northern Ireland this morning. Our devotional this morning is from The WORD FOR TODAY, UCB United Christian Broadcasters with my friends Bob and Debby Gass. They were originally from Northern Ireland. We met many years ago in this wonderful land of promise for the Body of Christ. You will be blessed as you partake of the Bread of Life they break for us this morning.
During His earthly ministry Jesus needed the "the Spirit of wisdom! when it came to making decisions and dealing with the enemy. As believers, that same Spirit lives in us. (James 3:NKJV)
says there are three kinds of wisdom: Earthly wisdom, which isn't always dependable because sometimes what seems right is really a road to death. (Pro. 16:25 CEV) Sensual wisdom which is based on emotions that can lead to confusion, hurt, and jealousy. Demonic wisdom, which is selfish, lustful and ungodly. Godly wisdom, from above is...pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and...then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and...hypocrisy" (James 1:5NLT) And when you're praying, ask yourself these questions: a. Are my motives pure or will I be shamed of them later on? b. Will my decision result in mercy and compassion or strife and stress? c. Have I considered all the people who'll be affected by the outcome? d. will the end result cause me to have a harsh attitude or will it produce an environment where love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control can grow? (Galatians 5:22-23) e. Is it fair and impartial or does it favour a particular person or group? f. Can I in good conscience pursue this particular course of action or does it involve some level of deceit and selfishness?
My friends, the above lesson must become the most important lesson in your Christian walk before and with your God. It will cause you not only to avoid dreadful, dangerous mistakes, but will also reveal the Love you have for your Heavenly Father as you seek His Wisdom only, in every situation.. May His Wisdom drive you to every success in Him...all for His Kingdom Glory.
In the \Love of Jesus,
James Wesley
