Breathing Wisdom In Our Families

Breathing wisdom in our families The family is the nursery of every sector of the nation and it needs proper care. If we don’t take care of our families, we would have done a disservice to a nation. It is in a family where we find husbands and wives, Children, doctors, teachers, lawyers, Politicians, business men and women and any person you would think of. In that case we need to breathe wisdom in our families. God is calling upon His servant to breathe wisdom into our families for building better communities. God’s wisdom is for moral regeneration, economic development, civil cohesion, political leadership all of which must conclude in spiritual growth. Let us see what wisdom does. Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3-4. Wisdom builds. It builds a house as well as morals, economies, politics, and anything in the world. Wisdom is the foundation of everything. It seems ordinary to ask what wisdom means. However, given that there is increasing evidence of confusion and persistent failure in many aspects of the family amidst increased learning, the becomes extra ordinary, So then what is wisdom? The book of Job in the bible records the life of a blameless and upright man amidst troubles. The beginning and end of the story is dramatic and well publicized. There is also a message hidden in between the many words Job spoke as he faced troubles. I will quote one statement, “And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” {Job 28:28} Go and read the story again. Wisdom is the fear of God. The word fear in this context does not mean being afraid or scared. For instance, it does not mean getting scared to run away from a lion. But the fear of God is about respect, reverence or obedience to Him as creator of heaven and earth as well author of life. Let us see what it means to fear God. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. {Matthew 7:2427}. From this part of scripture we see a wise man as one who hears the words of Jesus Christ and puts them in practice. Many floods, signifying problems and challenges, may come but he is able to withstand because he is strengthened by wisdom. He is able to think out solutions. On the other hand we also learn that a foolish man is one who hears the words of Jesus Christ but does not put them into practice. When the foolish man is faced with the same floods, signifying problems and challenges, he falls with a great crash because he is weak. He is not able to think out solutions and when he does try, he ends up with temporary, unreal or counterfeit solutions. The difference between a wise man and a foolish man is that they both hear the same words but the wise one puts them in practice while the foolish one does not. A wise man hears the words of God and puts in practice. A wise child avoids fornication, a wise husband or wife resists adultery, a wise worker avoids taking bribes but is diligent at his work, a wise economist avoids wastage by collecting even the leftovers and sets plans to create wealth instead of borrowing to chase poverty, a wise politician will speak the truth and be free from unfulfilled promises. A foolish child will fornicate and end up breaking his/her heart, a foolish husband or wife will commit adultery and pick up STDs, an unwise worker will take bribes, build houses and deny them as well as his parents before a commission of enquiry, an unwise economist will be wasteful and always borrow to chase poverty instead of learning to create wealth, an unwise politician will speak deception and lies then find another lie to cover the first lie and extra opportunities to deceive on unfulfilled promises. A wise man, a wise family, a wise people, a wise community, a wise sub-county, a wise district, a wise region and a wise nation will always seek counsel from the word of God, ask for solutions, implement the solutions then the people will prosperous and successful. Let your family be the source of this success. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
