Wisdom is better than wealth. If you get divine wisdom, the riches, wealth and honour will follow. But if you chase after wealth without wisdom, you will get the money, but it won’t last because you won’t have the capacity to sustain it.
Nobody became a genius in any area of life by accident. They kept learning throughout the journey until they reached their current level. If you have the opportunity to meet such people, especially those in your field of life or career, learn as much as you can from them. But if not, take advantage of the resources they share online.
The Bible says that when you rebuke the discerning, they will gain knowledge. That means discerning (thoughtful) people add to what they already know when they receive a rebuke (openly or secretly).
Everyone wants progress, and many don’t like encountering delays in getting something they want. But what if I told you that it takes godly wisdom to manage your expectations?
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!
It takes wisdom, not just money, to build many things in life. Solomon knew this. So, when God asked him what he wanted, he didn’t tell God he wanted a long life or honour. Solomon asked for wisdom, got it, and got the other things he didn’t even request (see 2 Chronicles 1:10-12). That means wisdom is essential in life.
One of the most guaranteed ways of succeeding in life is to live upright before the Lord. He will guide your path and make you prosperous as you follow Him. You don’t have to do much to figure out what to do. Just step up in faith and follow God’s leading. He is with you.
It takes a discerning heart to understand the magnitude of the work involved in building anything—be it a house, institution, ministry, or corporation. You need not only passion to succeed in what you do; discernment is also key.
Dear one, let your eyes focus on God’s reward for everything you do. Make excellence your hallmark. Be discerning enough to watch how things will turn up in any new thing you decide to do. And remember, you don’t have to listen to everything people say about the things you do because most of them don’t fully understand the work you do.
The way to get to the ends of the world with your gift is not to promote yourself from the start. Just start with what you have and keep developing it. The faithful God will not watch you to be ashamed of your work. He will exalt you.
Every person who places careful thought into their ways is a discerning person. Because of that trait, he is able to discern and understand how systems and things work and can even predict the future outcomes of some activities going on today. Solomon had this. That is why he wrote that the heart of the discerning acquires knowledge.
Never think you are too wise to evade taxes. Just be diligent with money. Don’t cheat and cut corners in your finance handling lifestyle. It will do you no good. In fact, it is nice to be a law-abiding believer who isn’t at fault with any government law. You’ll just have your peace to live unto God.
