I need the wisdom that only Jehovah can give me

From: October 10-16, 2006 Study: # 465

TOPIC: “I need the wisdom that only Jehovah can give me” Proverbs 2:6 Knowledge, intelligence and wisdom does not come from us, it comes from God. The Bible, the Word of God, exhorts us to seek for wisdom. As the church it is our duty to have wisdom, knowledge and spiritual intelligence. Wisdom and intelligence are needed in our spiritual area. This life is very complicated, it is not very easy, but we must acquire and possess the wisdom that only comes from God to live fully in all our lives. If we don't have knowledge, intelligence and wisdom, everybody will do whatever they please with us. It is very easy to live this life in pride and for ourselves, but we will not live this way any longer. We must open our eyes and know what comes from God and recognize how we should walk in order to not be deceived by anyone. We sometimes live tense, in despair because we don't know what is going to happen, there is a lot of deceit and perversity in everything that surrounds us. There is great evilness that wants to take us away from God. We don't have to be exposed to all this wickedness, so we will avoid this if we have acquired knowledge and wisdom. There are voices that want to speak in our ears and we must learn how to know and discern these voices. There is a lot of wickedness in this earth and it will continue to multiply, for this reason we must take care so that our love will not get cold. Wisdom, Intelligence, and Knowledge teaches us the principles of being guided by God. The wisdom and the truth are in the Word so that we won't guide ourselves by our heart that is deceiving. The people of God need God’s guidance. We can live working, storing for our house, for our ambitions, but one day death will surprise us and we will be accountable before God. Everything we do is written in Heaven. We are soldiers who will be accountable. We must be careful of what is written about us when we die. Then we need direction for everything in our life. There are many things we need to do and for each one we need wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. There is poison in the mouth of many people, it is horrible, and the Word of God is the antidote that will keep us from receiving this poison of wickedness. The Church must know all these things in order to avoid the influences of the wicked and the enemies of God who show how they live by their behavior. The tree is known by its fruit. We must know in order to not be dragged or destroyed, but remain firm in the Lord. What’s inside a person can be seen in their habitual behavior when there is hatred, disputes and conflicts. If we have wisdom we will be able to see these things and nobody will be able to deceive us. The best thing for us is to learn how to observe and know with the help of the Holy Spirit. James 1:5 If some one lacks wisdom ask God for it so that they will know what to do in their life. We must have determination to acquire wisdom and knowledge. Let us open our eyes to see and not live in confusion. We must not think that we can face life with our own wisdom but we must take the Father's wisdom. We are not fighting for ourselves but for God’s Kingdom, for eternal life because we represent the Father here on earth. In those moments of trials and all we must live through we need to discern spiritually, to have good sense to see spiritually in order to not be deceived. We should read the Scriptures every day because there is no deceit or corruption in it, but rather it teach us how to behave, speak, move, and know the times because they are not good. The Scriptures are the guide we need to apply the teachings of our Lord to our daily situations. We live our today, the believer does not live in the future for each day brings its own anxiety. Let us ask

from God who will give us without reproach and abundantly. Revelation wants to come from God’s mouth. He wants to speak to us, but we live so anxious by the things of this world. Intelligence and knowledge come from God’s mouth. We sometimes say that we don't understand because we don't have communion with God and to conquer in a world of so much ungodliness and of the proliferation of the false believers we should know and wake up. God cannot be deceived. Proverbs 4:7 We must be determined today to reach wisdom. We must not let it pass. In life we get what we pursue, where we put our treasure there we put our heart. Let us pursue, seek wisdom above everything and in the process we will find intelligence and discernment to know how to choose between good and evil, the physical or the spiritual, the temporary or eternal things. Mathew 27:15 Pilate knew these people, he knew there was envy in them. Which is our nature? Let us look at the qualities that stand out in our lives. Pilate knew the qualities of those people, of their jealousy, because they accused Jesus of things that He had not done. Everything they accused Him of was a lie, but Pilate only washed his hands. Washing our hands must not be our action but to face situations. For those who want to do God’s will, He wants to give them knowledge, so that they can use it. Let us know the Word of God written as well as preached. The devil doesn't want us to listen to the Word. But God has always raised a nation and ministers who preach the Word. There is much evilness surrounding us for this reason it is necessary for us to always be on guard. Intelligence is the ability to understand and the capacity to choose among several options. Life offers us to choose among many things and we will need intelligence because the first thing that we tend to choose is what fills the eye, the vain things. We have to know how to recognize the nature, the qualities of men to not be deceived. This world lacks of men and women who are willing to discern and fight with all their strength. We must not sell ourselves for anything. We must discern, know, learn, and not be like this world full with corruption. The church of Jesus Christ knows, learns and doesn't live the same as this world. After having accepted Jesus we live as disciples, as students and we are taught to evaluate, to discern the truth, the error, and to develop divine wisdom so that nobody will deceive us. Amen.
