Proverbs 9:10-11 says this:
10 The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight and understanding.11 For by me [Wisdom from God] your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased. AMP
Do you know why the fear of the Lord is necessary for us to walk in the Wisdom that only God can give? Because we MUST have the utmost respect and reverence for Him in order to truly believe His Word! You wouldn't believe the word of just any person that walked in off the streets, would you? Well, you won't TRULY believe the Word of God, either, until you KNOW Him! That's why Paul made it his continual and determined purpose to know more about the Lord each day than he did the day before! Read Philippians 3:10 in the Amplified Bible! The Word of God will come alive for you as never before when you make HIM your first priority! As you do this, you will be excited to know something that we learned about today in our SWC Worship Service! Pastor Bill Novak is teaching a series called "Money Matters". He is teaching about the matters, or the things, having to do with money and finances, but also how much money really does MATTER! God WANTS you to prosper! How do I know that? Look at 3 John 2 in a couple of different versions:
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayprosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers. KJV
3 John 2 Beloved, in all things I am praying that you will be prospering, and that you will be continually having good health just as your soul is prospering. The New Testament: An Expanded Translation by Kenneth S. Wuest
Do you know what is better than getting financial needs meet? Walking in Divine Prosperity, where you are in control of your finances and always have more than enough to accomplish what God has called you to do and to be a provider for the needs of others! Do you know what is better than receiving healing? Walking in Divine Health where you are ready at all times to carry out His call on your life! AMEN! GOD desires that FOR you! All that it will take is for you to prosper your soul! how do you do that? Meditate on His Word - day and night! (Joshua 1:8). Be a DOER of the Word you see and hear and then Wisdom and understanding will be yours! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Live with "You Are More":
Shalom in Him!
