Wisdom & Money

An argument is not necessary on this seeing that both are defenses, but one can succeed without the other–wisdom and maintain excellence. 

Ecclesiastes 7:11-12—Wisdom is better when it's paired with mon­ey, Especially if you get both while you're still living. Dou­ble pro­tection: wisdom and wealth! Plus this bonus: Wisdom energizes its owner (MSG).

A rich fool can enjoy the luxury of his palace and believe he has access to things and places because money answers all things. But he lacks the understanding that money has wings and can take flight at any time. In fact overnight. Ask Job and you will be amazed.

He might believe that he can acquire anything, but just as money can take flight, the things it can get will follow suit. So is it fame, connections, beauty, houses, clothes, food, bed, and everything that can be seen? Little does the owner knows that things that can be seen are temporary.

But eternity lies in the unseen and unheard. So, wisdom can be quiet and calm staying at corners of the street and the busiest places seeking attention. Only those that pay time to her get the true wealth - Life in abundance.

Wisdom could take a lifetime to finish a project, but every second spent on it will be worth it. Ask Solomon about the temple's work. 

Wisdom stays and brings all men to you, including kings. Money can find you a place in the high places, but wisdom brings the best of kings to where you are. Wisdom gives you structure. Wisdom makes you a model and all men will come to your light, bearing gifts and treasures.

Money can get you stuff, but when it leaves, it takes all along. But wisdom stays to get you all stuff and never leave you for as long as eternity.

Money is good, but wisdom is better. The end always justifies the means. Wisdom is the principal thing. It helps you get understanding. It's an ointment to your head and an aura to your being. The ambiance of your existence. Find her and pay her time and attention and you will see your life take form.

Wisdom is not just intelligence, it's knowledge, understanding, virtue, Grace, honor, creativity, health, power, anointing, and God, all wrapped together like taco or sharwama. Remove one from the equation and it's another menu entirely. It's a weapon, shield, strong tower, defense, and life. It's the access to anything, profitable to direct.

I think I prefer the whole package to a tiny piece that might not last a decade.

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
