CAC LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR APRIL 4, 2022 : TOPIC – SEEK WISDOM

The world is dynamic. To be relevant in it, you mustn’t be stagnant. There have been serious improvements on the tools used in different professions. There were times when 1000 men need to work on the farm before large productions can be made. Today’s just 10 would handle more through mechanisation.

The happen in all fields of human endeavours, including mining, as today commemorates International Day for Mine Action. All of these are products of advancement in knowledge. Anyone who does not move along as the world moves, such fellow may become irrelevant. The question is, ‘Are you relevant in your respective duty post?’.

Solomon became king by royal heritage. You too may be qualified for that position. You are due for promotion in your respective duty post, your business is moving and getting enlarged everyday. All of these are good news. The challenge here is, that next level you aspire to, can you manage it? Solomon was qualified but he knew in himself that he would find it difficult to manage the people well, hence his prayer for God’s wisdom. It is never a crime to have reasonable ambition, but it will be a criminal act, if you get there and you destroy the good records someone else had build before your arrival.

The fact is, there is no better time you need wisdom than now *(Prov. 4:7)*. Nothing can one do right maritally, spiritually, physically, professional and academically, without wisdom ANS excellence. This is the same excellent spirit Daniel possessed and that made him outstanding in his time. The spirit of wisdom, which qualifies and positions one for excellence and success, is the Spirit of Christ, the wisdom of God. By Him, kings rule, judges give right judgement, etc. Only He can qualify you for the next level, and brings relevance to your life.

To get wisdom, if it means going for further studies that will boost your credentials, please do. If you need to unlearn some things to learn the right skills. Please go ahead. Don’t rest on your oars. The world is advancing everyday. Update yourself regularly and relevantly.

*PRAYER POINTS*
