A House Is Built Primarily Through Wisdom

[3] “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;” – Proverbs 24:3 (NKJV)

I once researched online about how many people are builders in this generation. By “builders,” I don’t mean those who build physical houses but others like businesses, corporations, families, and the like. To my amazement, the figures were high for families and kind of dwindling when it came to ministries and businesses. Several people want to become entrepreneurs, but few actually build them successfully. In fact, about eighty percent of startup businesses fail within the first five years. That’s alarming, right?

Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived on this Earth, provided a solution to these things, which many have neglected. Besides having supernatural divine wisdom, he had experience leading the whole kingdom of Israel. He said in Proverbs 24:3 that a house is built primarily through wisdom, and by understanding, it is established. Guess what it means? Whatever you intend to build or are building right now will take wisdom, not money, to build it to become stable. Secondly, it will take a further understanding of how things work to make what you’ve built last longer. Many successful ministry leaders and business people understand what I am saying here.

You cannot wish your way to the top. Social media can be very deceptive in showing people’s successes because nothing great on this Earth is rocket science. You must go for wisdom to build whatever vision you have right now, no matter how big it is. Otherwise, those ideas will remain as seeds in your mind and on paper but not in reality. Rise and build!

You are a blessing.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for giving me the wisdom to build whatever You have placed in my hands. Help me and others to keep excelling in impact. In the name of Jesus. Amen!
