Power To Live

    Your existence on Earth is backed up by a power. To live is to survive several things that can stop your existence. Devil is a liar, he has many strategies to cut one’s life short but God is truthful, He kept us from all his traps.

    To keep living as a man, is either you stay with the devil or with God. If you stand in between and you’re living, is because there is struggle of spiritual forces drawing you. Nothing kills a man faster than making a bad choice. Most people are gone today as a result of a choice they made at one point or stage of their life. But how do we make good choices? How do we get knowledge?

   To live with something or someone you need to understand that person or thing. You are able to use your car because you understand that accelerator is for speed and brake is to stop or reduce the speed. You understand the house you live because you know where the entrance is, you know your kitchen and all that. You understand your husband because you know when he needs food, you when he is stressed out and all that. You understand your children because you know when they need biscuit and all that. You understand your work or business because you know the right thing to do to attract customers. You understand your shoe because you know how to wear it and many other things which we understand.

    Imagine if you do not understand something. For example your car, if you don’t understand your car there is no way you can use it and if you try to use it you will get hurt. So it is either it is useless or it hurts you. And this will frustrate you because you don’t know how to use it and if you struggle to use it you will end up hurt.

    I want to use a building (house) as a major example here. It takes wisdom to build a house and understanding to live therein. The wisdom required in the building of a house is majorly on the choice of good land, good plan, good materials, experienced labour and funds to raise the building. Understanding comes as you need to know how to maintain the building and the direction to places in the building. Once these two are settled ‘Wisdom and Understanding’ your house becomes the best place for you to live.

   This is where am going. A lot of people are living in the world without the understanding of it, and without wisdom. When you do not understand somewhere you are in, no matter how beautiful the place is you will get frustrated because you don’t understand it. Some are not living with wisdom so they make bad choices which affect their lives. They don’t understand their world, so they move on wrong direction. They don’t know life is easy with God so they make it a hard place to live for themselves without God. It is only a manufacturer that can give you the better understanding of his product. Only God can give you a better understanding of your life.

Prov 2.6 ‘For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding’.

Prov 2.10-11 ‘When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee’.

   You need two powers to live which are ‘WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING.’

     If you think you are lost, you are not lost. If you think there is no way out, there is a God that makes way where there is no way. If you think it is finished, there is a God that can refresh your life and bring out new things. Don’t lose hope. Anything lost can be recovered through Christ Jesus. The bible says ‘The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Prov. 1.7)’. Trust in God and keep praying then your life shall be renewed.

     Remain Blessed.
