MADE UNTO US WISDOM!

I Corinthians 1:30 states that CHRIST JESUS IS MADE UNTO US WISDOM. Every time I need wisdom whether it be practical or spiritual, I just remind myself of this scripture, Jesus has been made unto me wisdom.

There is no problem that you have that is going to catch God unprepared. He has already supplied the grace of wisdom for every problem that we will ever encounter. God knew that we would face challenges that are beyond our ability to handle, that's why God extends his grace to us in the person of wisdom. We can trust God for the answer, no matter how small or seemingly great our problem. God loves to bring to us the answer as we fellowship with Jesus casting the whole of our care over unto him and by faith receiving the answer of wisdom. We don't need to know how to do everything we only need to know that Jesus is our wisdom.

My wife and I just experienced the very thing that I just mentioned. She personally needed some answers to help her manage some things that unexpectedly came her way. She needed answers and quick. So we got our bibles looked up this verse, read it out loud, and then gave thanks for the wisdom that's available to us. Just like God promised things begin to fall in place as wisdom begin to be the order of the day, wow praise God.

Friend you to can receive the wisdom you need to accomplish the task at hand. Whether it be help with raising your children or how to manage a schedule that suddenly has become unmanageable. Open your mouth and begin to declare what this scripture says. Say out loud with your mouth that JESUS HAS BEEN MADE UNTO YOU WISDOM AND BEGIN TO THANK HIM FOR THE ANSWER! Jesus loves to fellowship with you in the answer to your problems, He will show you what to do because He has been made unto you wisdom!

HOLY "ARE YOU KIDDING ME"

I mean, I know myself better than anyone and the one way I would not describe myself is "HOLY." And yet I think this is the way that most of us think about ourselves when it comes to being holy. We often think that holiness is attained to by keeping religious rules or some kind of behavior modification that makes us a better person. Some people even believe the way you dress of the way you wear your hair is what makes you holy, and yet none of this is true at all.

The offering of the Body of Jesus is the only way that you and I could be made holy. God has sanctified us (set us apart as Holy) by the sacrifice of his son on the cross. It is impossible to attain unto holiness outside of the finished work of the cross. The power of Jesus blood has separated us unto the Father, and we are sanctified by one offering and forever perfected by the offering of the body of Jesus, Hebrews 10:10--14. Wow, can you believe that? Takes all the self-righteous works out of it when you only believe!

I am still amazed at the love of God when I read verses like these which reveal another aspect of Gods redeeming Grace. Who would ever have thought that a person could attain to holiness by simply receiving what God has done through His son Jesus. You and I received holiness when we received the Lord Jesus, The bible declares "That he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit"
I Corinthians 6:17, the Bible also declares That Jesus was declared to be the son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, Romans 1:4.

If it is the spirit of holiness that declared Jesus to be God's son, it's the same spirit of holiness that declares us to be Gods children. We are separated unto the Father by the spirit of holiness. It is a work of Grace and we can only enjoy the blessing of holiness through faith. Just believe Gods word and thank Him for the privilege of being holy by simply being joined unto the Lord! When were you joined unto the Lord? When you received as him as your Lord and Saviour and was born-again. Yes as Gods children we are a royal priesthood, an Holy Nation, a peculiar people; that we should show forth the praises of him who hath called us out of darkness into his marvellous light. I Peter 2:9

THINGS TO COME

Many times we as Christian are concerned about future prophetic events which the Bible prophesies to happen in the near and distant future... In our generation we have seen many prophesies already fulfilled which are pointing to the coming of the Lord! However did you know that the Holy Spirit wants to help you with things in your own personal life that are going to happen.....like tomorrow or maybe....... a year from now! Things that will bless you and prepare you for whats coming. Jesus said the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth when He is come, He will show you things to come.

Often the Holy Spirit has shown me something that was going to happen in order to prepare me for what's coming! This is part of His ministry to the believer. You don't have to be a preacher or a prophet or even someone super spiritual for God to show you something. You just need to love the Father and his son Jesus and be willing to fellowship with them through the person of the Holy Spirit. God knows what's going to happen to you in the future and will show you things to come that are relevant to you and his purpose for you. The Holy Spirit wants to get involved with us in personal way that He may guide us into all truth, this is a promise from Jesus!

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth
is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak; and he will show you things to come
John 16:13

We can never predict what tomorrow will hold, but we can certainly walk with the one who holds our tomorrow, and as he has promised us in his word He will show us things to come that we may both be blessed and be a blessing to our families and those around us. This has been a tremendous help to me personally over the years as numerous times I have been shown things that are going to happen and been able flow in the divine purpose of God. It's amazing to see the future unfold before your very eyes, Truly God knows our future and is willing to show us things to come as we receive the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

JOYFUL EXPECTATION

Faith in Gods word will always release a joyful expectation in our heart as we look forward to the promise of God being manifested in our life. Faith is like a seed that carries the promise of a harvest, you can't see the harvest at first because all you have is the seed. However if you look far enough into the future to the end of your seed you will see the harvest in sight and this my friend is what God wants you to see! Seeing the harvest will release the joy of the Lord in your heart and cause you to endure the circumstantial changes of life that try to cause you to abort your faith while you are waiting on the promise to manifest. Look to the end of what God has promised you in his word whether it be salvation for a loved one or healing for your body, see your harvest coming in and keep that image before your eyes as you worship the Lord for what he has promised you. Doing this will release the fruit joy in your spirit and cause you to experience Gods supernatural strength in a way that will sustain you while you wait on the harvest to manifest, it will manifest. So go ahead and let the JOY OF THE LORD BE YOUR STRENGTH while you anticipate the coming harvest. You know the harvest is yours, already it exists and belongs to you because you have the seed which is called faith. The seed is enough to receive the harvest so why not worship the Lord as if the harvest is already here because truly it is.
