       The Importance of the Wisdom ofGod

       Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
       For this cause we also, since the day we heard it,
       do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye
       might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all
       wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye
       might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
       being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in
       the knowledge of God (Colossians 1vs8-10).
       In the above scripture, Paul understood that one
       could be in faith, walk in love and still miss one
       major thing which is having their eyes of
       understanding opened up. This can block a person
       from reaching its full potential or blessing. Once
       your eyes are opened you will begin to have
       practical understanding and enlightening of
       whatever situation you find yourself. And this will
       lead you to know exactly what needs to be done
       to get the right results.
       For instance, an individual may feel he is due for
       promotion in his office, where other people are
       getting promoted over him. But he believes
       promotion only comes from God but he is
       confused as to how to get this scripture fulfilled in
       his life. This is because his eyes of understanding
       are yet to be opened up to the reason his
       promotion is being delayed. For this reason he
       begins to get bitter by complaining and accusing
       those getting promotion over him wrongly just
       because he does not understand why it is not
       happening to him. The bible says, “God reigns in
       the affairs of men and he gives the kingdom to
       whosoever he wills (Daniel 4vs17)” . This means
       God is the one that decides who gets promoted or
       blessed. The bible also says, “The heart of kings
       are in the hand of the lord and he turns it
       whichever way He wills (Provb 21vs1)”. So all you
       need to do is to ask God for insight and direction
       so that your blessing will not pass you by.
       In the case of Nebuchadnezzar, he was a man
       given to idolatry. But after experiencing the might
       and wisdom of God he wrote Daniel four (4).
       There, he spoke about the mercy of God and the
       things God has done in his life. It was during his
       seven (7) years wilderness experience he realized
       that it was God that put him in the position of
       power. He came to the understanding that God
       reigns in the affairs of men and He truly gives the
       kingdom to whosoever he wills (Dan 4vs17). This
       means that if a person gets promoted God is
       behind that particular action. You might think the
       person is not worth it or ought not to be in that
       particular position. But there is a reason God
       allowed that particular promotion to happen and
       it’s simply to demonstrate certain things to
       people. We just might be blinded from what God
       is trying to show or what He is demonstrating to
       His people or the lessons He wants humanity to
       learn. One thing is sure; God is always behind
       those particular things just to show His
       sovereignty.
       If you have believed and you expect certain things
       to happen in your life, what you need to do now is
       to go to God in prayer. Ask Him to open the eyes
       of your understanding so that it can be illuminated
       to the truth just like Paul asked. This is not just to
       know the scriptures or to be convinced about it
       but also for the eyes of your understanding about
       life to be flooded with light so as to know the
       steps to take. This is because there might be
       some little things you are doing that may be
       leading you towards the wrong direction which
       you may not know. These are the little things that
       people will normally overlook and they are the
       game changers. It is usually not in the big things
       that people do but in the little things they do. So
       you need to make the necessary adjustment.
       Therefore, in all we do as believers we must
       always pray for the eyes of our understanding to
       be opened up in every issue or situation we are
       faced with in order to get clarity and direction.
       This is because that is the only way we can move
       closer to God’s purpose and plans for our lives.
