HEAVEN 21 FEBRUARY 2021 TOPIC: The Only Wise God
MEMORISE: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ
forever. Amen.” – (Romans 16:27)
READ: 1 Corinthians 1:19-31 (KJV)
19 For it is written, I
will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the
understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where
is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish
the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the
wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a
sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ
crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are
called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness
of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling,
brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the
foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the
world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which
are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should
glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Heaven 21 February 2021 MESSAGE:
Our focus in today’s study is
on one of the many attributes of God – wisdom. God’s wisdom is beyond human
understanding. His wisdom has no end and no one can ever compete with him.
Indeed, there is no basis for comparison. The depth of God’s wisdom is
unsearchable. God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. (1 Corinthians 1:25) tells us that even the foolishness of
God is wiser than the wisdom of man, and His weakness is stronger than man’s
strength.

One of the numerous ways God
showed His infinite wisdom is the way He paid the price for our sins. While the
devil was rejoicing that Jesus would be disgraced publicly with a shameful
death, God was rejoicing because that was exactly what He needed to save the
world (1 Corinthians 2:8). It was after the death of Jesus and
rise of the Apostles, sharing the gospel around the world that Satan realized
that he had played by the script of the Omniscient God. While anyone would have
seen God’s silence when Jesus was being crucified as foolish, it was actually
wisdom. This is why I know that though the devil may be laughing at you now, he
does not know that God only allowed him win the battle so that he would lose
the war over your life. You will laugh last in the mighty name of Jesus.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the
knowledge of the holy is understanding. – Proverbs 9:10
Open Heaven 21 February 2021 – The Only Wise God
Do you want God to give you wisdom?
The first step is to fear Him (Proverbs 9:10). When you
fear God, you will refrain from all unrighteousness. Your colleagues may call
you a fool for not falsifying figures for your gain but soon, when they begin
to see you enjoying things that they cannot afford, they will know that you are
actually wise. When you fear God and stay away from evil, you begin to walk in
wisdom.
Finally, ensure that you specifically ask God for wisdom and He
will give it to you.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to
all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. – James 1:5.
At the end of time, when those who are foolish are thrown into
the lake of fire and we who have received the wisdom of God are reigning with
Him in eternity, then it will be clear we made the right choice.
Open Heaven 21 February 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father, put Your fear in
my heart so that I may be wise.
