MFM Daily Devotional 26 December 2024 Message
The Scripture tells us that wisdom is the principal thing. In other words, wisdom is the major thing we need to excel in life. Wisdom is the foundation of great works. Wisdom is the difference between a failure and a success. Wisdom dignities; it brings honour and sustains honour. Check a man whose works count for eternity, such a man has wisdom as his dearest. What is wisdom?
Wisdom is a spirit. It can also be referred as the virtue that produces or manifests excellence. Wisdom is one of the seven Spirits of God. Our God is a God of excellence because this virtue of wisdom is the quality of His very personality. Our God is the wisest in judgment. In our Fire Scripture today, the apostle Paul saw the necessity of wisdom.
He said that after he heard the fervency of many believers in the faith, he ceased not to give thanks to God, mentioning them (the believers) in his prayers that God will give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. He further prayed that, after they had received the spirit of wisdom, the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened.

There is a need for your eyes and my eyes to be enlightened. There are many opportunities around us that God has put in place to reform our lives, but because the eyes of men are closed, they do not have the ability to interpret the happenings in their environment. May the wisdom of God unlock your closed eyes to tap into the opportunities that surround you, in Jesus’ name.
How about leadership? We need wisdom to lead. We need wisdom to lead ourselves first before leading others. The Scriptures tell us about the leader Joshua. We are told that the people obeyed and listened to him after he was filled with the spirit of wisdom by the laying of hands of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:9). It takes the spirit of wisdom to command the respect of those around. I pray that the spirit of wisdom will fill you afresh, in Jesus’ name.
