Heaven 11 December 2021 TOPIC: Hearken
to the Voice of Wisdom
MEMORISE But whoso
hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Proverbs 1:33
READ: Proverbs 1:20-29 (KJV)
20. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice
in the streets:
21. She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in
the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love
simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate
knowledge?
23. Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out
my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have
stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and
would none of my reproof:
26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock
when your fear cometh;
27. When your fear cometh as desolation, and your
destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not
answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29. For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Open Heaven 11 December 2021 MESSAGE:
The true and original Wisdom is a personality; hence He
speaks, calls, warns and counsels. Jesus Christ is that original Wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24). He is the One speaking in Our Bible reading for today.

He
is the One calling us personally in Matthew 11:28-30. Only those
who are wise would answer the call and thus, have their houses built on the
rock (Luke 6:47-48).
In
today’s Bible reading, the original Wisdom of God is pleading with His audience
you and me, to listen to His words of reason. He asks why anyone would choose
foolishness over wisdom.
He
wonders why men hate knowledge, the correct application of which brings wisdom
that saves from both temporal and eternal damnation.
Jesus
Christ, the Wisdom of God assures us in today’s memory verse that whoever pays
close attention to Him in order to do His bidding shall live in safety and the
fellow shall be free from all evils.

Proverbs
2:6-7 further says: “For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the
righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.”
Have
you responded in the affirmative to the Lords call in Matthew 11:28-30? Answering
positively to that call is the best decision you can make in life. In this one
call is salvation, prosperity, rest of mind and total freedom from evil.
Jesus
is calling on you today if you are yet to be born again or have backslidden.
The burden of sin is unbearable for mankind. This is why it is only reasonable
to respond to the call of Someone who is ready to take away the burden from us.
Answering
the call of Jesus unto salvation is the beginning of wisdom and failure to do
so is the foundation of all forms of calamity. Little wonder God says in today’s
Scripture reading that, for those who refuse to listen to Him, He would laugh
them to scorn in the time of their calamity.
May
this not be your portion, in the mighty name of Jesus. The Amen to that prayer
is in your obedience to hearken to the voice of Wisdom.
Open Heaven 11 December 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Oh Lord, please give me listening ears to hear Your
counsel and a willing heart to obey You always, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Open Heaven 11 December 2021 HYMN: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
1. What a
Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins
and griefs to bear!
What a
privilege to carry
Ev’rything to
God in prayer!
Oh, what
peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what
needless pain we bear-
All because
we do not carry
Ev’rything to
God in prayer!
2. Have we
trials and temptations?
Is there
trouble anywhere?
We should
never be discouraged,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a
Friend so faithful
Who will all
our sorrows share?
Jesus knows
our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to
the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our
refuge,
Take it to the Lord in
prayer.
Do thy friends despise,
forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and
shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace
there.
