The wicked people can be a hindrance to the progress of an individual and that is why we need deliverance from them as God Almighty is the one who can deliver us. Proverbs 4: 14-17 describes the wicked ones and how dangerous they are. They have no mercy in carrying out their plans as well as a selfish person.  Also, a man who lacks knowledge tends to be manipulated to act in that manner.

In the book of 2 Chronicles 17: 10, the fear of God protected King Jehoshaphat and Israelites. Many deceive themselves by declaring Christ externally but not internally. You need to declare him both internally and externally. Let the fear of God be in you and the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. He who does not fear God lacks wisdom and as you continue to fear Him, you will experience His guidance and counsel.

A lot of people find it hard walking wisely and that is they find it difficult to maximize time and seasons. You need the wisdom of God to walk wisely in this cruel world. Believers are encouraged to walk wisely in their journey in this world despite that so many have become victims of circumstances in this world while some took advantage of circumstance, it is advisable we learn from both sides, i.e., those who were victims and those who took advantage of the circumstances. One biblical example among many is the life of Noah in Gen.6: 9, we could see that Noah walked with God, therefore walking wisely and that was why he found grace before God’s sight. We could see that he followed and fulfilled God’s instruction despite the wickedness existing in his times. Hence, likewise, let us follow God and walk in His wisdom rather than walking using our intellect.

Proverbs 14: 15 tells us as believers to be watchful in our workplace, relationships, health, finances, and every area of life. Let God lead you so you won’t be deceived. A lot have been deceived and have gone away from God’s presence. In a bit to meet the pressure of the season, don’t go to where God is not leading you or engage in what is unpleasant to God, you need to be extra-careful as there are dangerous prophets and people in our world today. Only those who follow the word of God are considered wise.

Today, I want us to call upon our Maker and Creator, who is our Father that He should repair us. From the bible text, it is the story of God’s children coming from Egypt and they got to Jericho which stands as an obstacle for them on their journey to their promised land, Canaan. Glory be to God who gave a mighty and mysterious strategy that they used in overcoming Jericho, the whole wall of Jericho fell and they got total victory. Likewise, we also need to hear God for total victory.

Our topic today is a word of warning, calling us to be watchful and careful because in this life God knows best what we need to engage in to be victorious. Hence, Jesus Christ is calling them to be focused as it is needed to succeed in life. In the book of Luke 28: 1 where Jesus was transfigured but we could see that Peter despite the close proximity with Jesus still denied Jesus even after proclaiming to Jesus that he won’t. Brethren, for us to obtain victory, we must take time. Even after Peter denied Jesus, he sought God for forgiveness and repented, you also can repent likewise today.

Happy New Month to everyone in the name of Jesus. One mindset you must hold unto is that never give up. From our bible text, we could see that though Martha believed yet her faith was not align to what Jesus had in mind but Jesus knowing the sickness is not unto death raised Lazarus from death. Likewise, you also, whatever is death either in your life or any areas of your life, all you need to do is to invite Jesus Christ in and you shall experience a turnaround.

John 11: 42 shows how Jesus acknowledged the Father for the work which He had sent Him, and Jesus was honored. Forget the stress you might have experienced in that project or the effort you have put into it, always learn to acknowledge God and return all the glory in all things. So many students believe it is by their strength they passed alone but know that after every success, you must learn to appreciate God returning all the glory to the owner. Some so many people are cut off at the edge of a breakthrough. Deuteronomy 8: 18 addresses the truth about God being behind all happenings.

Many people believe God can help but they don’t know how God will do it. While some still doubt God despite their confession about His help, they are uncertain about how God is going to do it. My advise is that you trust God and stop looking unto man from your heart as God is still in the business of helping and lifting men. Your case is not different. Psalms 37: 5 admonish us to commit our ways unto the Lord and He shall direct your path. Let us pray.
