TOPIC: WISDOM KEYS FOR SURVIVAL.
SCRIPTURE: And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
1 Samuel 18:14–15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It takes the mentality of God to handle the calamities of life.
It is imperative to note that we live in a very wicked world. It requires the help of God through the deployment of Divine strategies to survive and succeed in our world today. Hazards or dangers abound everywhere you turn. We hear news of unfortunate and horrific incidents on television, radio, and newspapers almost every day.
This is not to scare you, but to create a sense of awareness and the need for spiritual fortification by the Wisdom and Power of God.
Now, it is important to explore the Divine strategies for survival and triumph in times like this.
Today, we shall be looking at one of the strategies for survival, which is the deployment of the Wisdom of God.
The wisdom of God is required for surviving dangerous times. It takes the mentality of God to handle the calamities of life. Wisdom carries preservation power.
David behaved himself wisely, and the Lord was with him (1 Samuel 18:14–15), so it was impossible for him to be destroyed by Saul. Wisdom attracts the Presence of God and invokes terror against the enemy. The truth is, when a person walks in Divine wisdom, the enemy becomes afraid. When you are wise in the Spirit, you become a terror to hell.
Wisdom brings deliverance, while foolishness brings destruction. Many lives have been destroyed not by the power of the devil but by the power of foolishness.
Now, what are the wisdom keys for survival? We shall be looking at three of them today.
1. Watch your tongue.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Your tongue is either prolonging your life or hastening your death. What you say affects the quality and quantity of your life.
Beloved, the enemy is always listening for what to catch from your mouth and use against you. So, guard your tongue carefully.
2. Watch your thoughts.
Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…
Thoughts become real with time. Thoughts release signals that both God and the devil perceive. Thoughts of fear, worry, and anxiety invite calamity. Positive thoughts attract the Presence and Preservation Power of God.
3. Live in God’s Presence.
He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1).
Beloved, living in God’s presence provides Divine covering, boldness, and supernatural security. You are safe in the secret place of the Most-High.
Remember this: It takes the mentality of God to handle the calamities of life.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Guard your tongue and your thoughts.
2. Be intentional about living in the Presence of God.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive wisdom for survival in this wicked world. Help me to guard my tongue and thoughts, and keep me in Your safe Presence, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
