If you lack wisdom, ask!

 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 

 

The Bible has alluded wisdom to be the principal of all things. In other words, you can only achieve great things in this world by the wisdom of the living God.

 

You may be surprised why king Solomon requested wisdom instead of money or influence. He knew something births these good things which is God’s wisdom and He asked for it.

 

The scripture made it known that if you lack wisdom, you can ask God in faith. The scripture testifies that God gives wisdom to men liberally.

 

James 1:5 “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.” 

 

Have you wonder about the great achievements and ideas implemented by great men in the likes of businesses, science, technology, and many more inventions. This great wisdom comes from God. None of these achievements were achieved by them without God's gifting.

 

The scriptures says in John 3:27;

 

“A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.”

 

You can’t have God's wisdom except God bestows it on you. It is more important to ask Him for wisdom that will birth all your needs rather than asking Him of your needs. Man’s needs have no end, why not crave for the wisdom that will bring all your needs. If King Solomon had asked for influence or wealth God would have gifted him these things, but he rather asked for wisdom that can give him everything he needs.

 

Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding”

 

 

Prayer: Father bestow unto me wisdom in every area of my life that lacks wisdom.
