This is real wisdom!

Sin always promises to give you fun and enjoyment, but in reality, all it will give you is death, despair and destruction. Today, there are many voices that are saying that you can live any way you want to, and God loves you anyway. Yes, God loves you, but Jesus made it very clear! He says: “Go and sin no more.” Sin causes a separation between God and us. Job 28:28 reminds us on what we need to do: “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ” If we depart from evil, God will forgive us and cleanse us. It’s not enough to simply believe that God is real. The Apostle James once said: You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” (James 2:19) It’s not enough to simply believe. One must truly repent of their sins: “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,” (Acts 17:30). One must also have a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! ( “…Repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”(Acts 20:21 (b). Those who truly and humbly ask God for forgiveness, and receive the precious gift of salvation that the Lord Jesus gave us on the cross, will be saved. This is God’s promise. Don’t listen to the many voices out there that make empty promises. They cannot save or redeem you. They themselves are deceived and deluded. History shows that most of the time, the majority are wrong. The healthy fear (respect, reverence, honor) of the Lord is truly wisdom!

Job 28:28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”

Who is your mentor?

Are you correctable? Can you submit to those that God has placed over you spiritually? Your growth is determined by the level of correction you are able to receive. Most people today refuse any level of correction or instruction. Yes, there are those who correct you to embarrass you for every mistake you make, or any ignorance you may have on a particular subject, but I am not speaking of those who would use criticism to wound you. I am speaking of those who truly love you and have been called to come alongside you to properly mentor you. The Lord Jesus mentored the twelve disciples. He even rebuked Peter when it became necessary. He even rebuked the spiritual leaders during His earthly ministry. Moses mentored Joshua. Elijah mentored Elisha. Paul mentored Timothy. Proverbs 9:9 says “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning”. So you can clearly see that correction is the path to wisdom and learning. My question to you today is: Who is mentoring you? This is an important and necessary path to increase in the Kingdom of God.  Without it, you will only be spinning you wheels without going anywhere!

Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children”.
