WEEKLY WISDOM SERIES 7


WEEKLY WISDOM SERIES 7
   A YEAR JOURNEY INTO WISDOM PATHS

“Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding)” – Proverbs 4:7 (NLT).

*WEEK 7:

Humility is a guaranteed highway to greatness.


Only the Blood of Jesus exempts us from God’s judgment and overcomes our oppressors when it is pleaded against them.


Christians have only one response to trespasses against them at all times – forgiveness!


God wants us to always give our first and best Him to enable us receive the best of Him and His blessings.


God made the male and female persons primarily for marriage (except those who have been given the grace not to marry) to enable them be more productive in fulfilling their God-given assignments.


Complaints against God and disobedience to His instructions delays or hinders the fulfillment of His promises in the life of persons culpable of these.


We grow deeply in spiritual perfection and maturity when we forsake or surrender things we value so much to enable us follow Jesus unreservedly.


Encountering God’s presence and voice calls for divine consecration and cleansing.

A real leader’s primary resources for meeting the demands of any task or project are knowledge, understanding and wisdom.


Real wisdom does not necessarily reside in multitudes of experience and greatness.


Wisdom devoid of knowledge and understanding is a recipe for arbitrariness and wickedness.


Self-discipline is one of a real leader’s sacred secrets.


Procrastination and excuses are a real leader’s arch enemies.
