WALK IN WISDOM

-
"Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:5-6 KJV

Verse of the Day: May 8, 2022.
WALK IN WISDOM.
Everyone else outside your own physical body is without. To God, everybody besides you is the world to watch! When the Bible teaches saying, "Love not the world nor the things in the world" and say, "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind", it mean God says, "Don't copy anybody so that your person is not diluted or become adulterated." Thence, you rob yourself of your own uniqueness, die mimicking others.

By this, it's obvious those "without" whether fellow believers or staunch unbelievers stand as the world under God, good to be seen and watched, bad for xerox. This calls for wisdom in all conversations with outsiders so that time, the most precious thing is never wasted because if someone lived another's life, his entire life is a waste. To walk in wisdom takes a lot of praying.

Walk in wisdom does not imply deploying wits, schemes and outsmarting those without but to stay living in God, following His holy Spirit. This takes praying without ceasing, engaging the Spirit of the Lord as to what to say and how to say it. Now, God commands this because He's redeeming - buying back the time lost with dragons - the jokers.

Praying much and displaying to those "without" that whatsoever we have, achieved or become is by the grace of God. We must make it clear in all our speeches and conversations that God's strength called "grace" had made them be, if it were not Him, we'd be nothing. By this, those without - both good and bad, are forcibly redirected to think God alone, the all-in-all and only He, is good.

Ten Words At Calvary.mp3 audio download HEBREWS 1:1-14 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  2  has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.  3  His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,  4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.  5  For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” 6  When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”  7  Of the angels he sa...

Do not turn to the right or the left, remove your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:27 NKJV Day 4, Right Or Left.mp3 DAY 4, RIGHT OR LEFT The Lord gave a similar command or statement when He was commissioning Joshua. Jos 1:7 says, " Only be strong and very courageous that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you, do not turn from it to the right hand or the left, that you may prosper wherever you go ". Doing the will of God, the righteousness of God is not about the rights or wrongs, not turning the left or the right but simply doing the will of the Father. Isaiah 30:21 says, " Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left" . Following God is not about having a set of rules of dos and don'ts or ever and never or living anyhow thinking the grace of God is always available but following His voice - voice leading. An...
