Sunday daily devotional by Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Word Diet, 28th JAN. 2018) – The Process Of Success (3)

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2

One of the misconceptions that the body of Christ has gladly accepted is that God is the only one who makes a man prosperous. This is a lie that has its source from hell. Gradually, some Christians are beginning to have their mind aligned to this lie; thereby unconsciously taking up traits that God is fully against. The same way sugar attracts ants, idleness and redundancy attract the wrong Spirit.

If God was to be the only factor responsible for the prosperity of His Sons, then the unbelievers and the unbelieving-believers should be the poorest on earth. God has done His part of the agreement. He has given you the prosperity; all that is left for you to do is to walk in the line of His will and receive the prosperity.

He has placed your prosperity in your own hands. One of the most important ingredients for success is wisdom; hard wisdom. People always believe that hard work is the foundation of success. This is false. You see, hard work is an equally important ingredient for success, but the most vital is hard wisdom.

If hard work was to guarantee the success of an individual, then that garbage man or that lady who works 4 jobs, having little or no rest ought to be the wealthiest on earth. When hard wisdom functions in the life of a man, there would be a clear distinction between that man and every other person.

Proverbs 3:13 says,

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

The importance of wisdom cannot be overemphasized. Wisdom sets a man apart. It
makes that man better than his peers.

Proverbs 8:11 says,

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. 

Wisdom allows a man to recognize opportunities; it would put you ahead if you give yourself to be thought of it. Wisdom is a force. When force is applied to an object, a motion must occur.

That is, even if the object doesn’t want to move, once you apply force, it must move. This is the power wisdom has. You may have given up already; but the very moment you bring wisdom into the equation, you’ll find yourself moving. But as you move, be sure to move in the direction of God.

If you want wisdom, then get God’s Word. 1 Corinthians 1:30 shows us that God’s Word is wisdom in itself. So for every time you look into the Word, you are looking into wisdom. For every time you practice the Word, you are practicing wisdom!

DECLARATION
The wisdom of God is at work in me. God’s wisdom is leading me to my success. I refuse to be foolish; I am a sure success!
