“Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and
princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to
set him over the whole realm.” Daniel 6:3(KJV)
Without wisdom God will not give you favor before authority
figures.
A lot of Christians want favor with those in position of
authority so that they may be able to get contracts and appointments but some
of them are not increasing in wisdom.
But if you are a man or a woman full of the wisdom of God,
God Himself will begin to recommend you because He knows that you will be able
to manage whatever is given you to do.
Wisdom is detailed insight. This is because as you begin to
walk in the wisdom of God, God will begin to give you divine insight into
things. This was why Pharaoh said what he said about Joseph in Genesis
41:39-40, “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all
this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt
be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only
in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
If you will begin to go for wisdom, you will not need to
lobby for position. As a young man, when all my friends were moving around
trying to be popular in ministry, I was preparing. Why? It was because I knew that
“nobody can shine beyond the level of his wisdom.”
The Bible says the wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament (Daniel 12:3). So you cannot shine beyond the level of your wisdom.
Therefore, focus on increasing your wisdom because with
increased wisdom comes increased influence and authority. Also, with increased
wisdom comes increased honour and income. So as you focus on gaining and
increasing in wisdom, you will become a wonder.
Prayer:
Dear Father I thank you for you fill me with the knowledge
of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding in Jesus Name. Amen.
