Today’s Scripture
“As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say.”
Numbers 14:28, NIV

DO YOU WANT  WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ?
Moses had led the Israelites out of slavery to the border of the Promised Land. God had promised they would defeat their enemies and live in abundance. They had this great report of victory, but then the other report from ten spies said the enemy was too big and powerful. Rather than believe God, the Israelites let fear dominate their thoughts, and they begin to complain against Him. “We’ll never get in. We’re going to die out here in the desert.” It’s significant that God answered them and said, “I will do exactly what I heard you say. You will all die in the desert.” They didn’t realize that by speaking it out, they were prophesying their future.

If God were to do exactly what you’re saying today, would it be what you want? Are you speaking victory, health, abundance, freedom, and new levels? Or are you talking about how big the giants are, what you’ve been through in the past, how you can’t accomplish your dreams or break an addiction? Don’t let tongue trouble keep you out of your promised land.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are always greater than any difficulty or adversity I will ever face. Thank You that You are listening as I declare that, based upon Your promise, I am well able to go in and take the land. I believe that You are going to bring me to the next level. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

SECTION TWO

Today, I want to talk about how you can depend on God’s wisdom to succeed. Wisdom from the Lord comes by God’s unmerited favor. It is not something that you can study for or acquire with your efforts. Wisdom from the Lord is something that the world cannot have.

This is not to say that the world does not have wisdom. Step into any bookstore today and you will find shelves full of books containing experts’ theories and methods on all sorts of subjects. The majority of these, however, stem from human wisdom, which strengthens and builds up only the flesh.

Whether they know it or not, the people of the world are crying out for true wisdom from the Lord. Just look at the constant demand for self-help books. But what we need is not more “self-help.” What we need is the Lord’s help! Read books that are written by Spirit-filled believers and Christian leaders who encourage you to look to Jesus and not to yourself.

Psalm 1:1 tells us this from the start: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.” Beloved, this means that there is counsel in human wisdom. But the man who does not walk according to the wisdom of the world is the man who is blessed.

At the same time, if his delight is in Jesus, and he meditates on Jesus day and night, Psalm 1:3 says, “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”

My friend, make a decision to walk in the counsel of the godly and not in the counsel of the world, and you will see whatever you do prosper. God has raised up men and women who are established in the truths of the new covenant, and who will help you keep your eyes on Jesus.

In Him, you will find all the wisdom that pertains to life. The Bible tells us that in Him “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:2–3) for your success. Keep looking to Jesus, draw on His divine wisdom and see the difference it will make to you!
