(Acknowledge Christ As Your Wisdom)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”
LET’S TALK
Remember at the New Year’s Eve service, I told you about the importance of acknowledgment. Part of what you must acknowledge this year is Christ as your wisdom.
It’s not just about knowing that Christ is your righteousness, sanctification, and justification—you need to also acknowledge the truth that Christ is your wisdom.
Our opening scripture says, “…Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom…” (1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV). Think about that. Christ Himself has been made your wisdom.
This means you don’t need to ask God for wisdom anymore because wisdom is already inside you. It brings to mind what Paul said in Colossians 1:27 KJV, “…Christ in you, the hope of glory.” When Christ came into your life, He brought His glory and His wisdom with Him.
Have you ever encountered individuals who don’t reason soundly or correctly? During a discussion, their responses leave you bewildered, their thought pattern reeks of thoughtlessness; it’s like foolishness on rampage.
Sadly, they’re oblivious to their own lack of insight. When prompted to express themselves publicly, for example, their utterances become disconcerting. This is because wisdom eludes them.
Wisdom is your birthright as a child of God. This is why you can’t settle for confusion or poor judgment. But for it to work in your life, you must acknowledge it.
Divine wisdom enables you to make sound decisions, communicate clearly, and approach life’s challenges with confidence. You become discerning, insightful, and excellent in all you do.
So as you go along this year, let your actions and words reflect this acknowledgment. Whatever task is before you, declare that you’ll produce excellence because Christ is your wisdom. With Him, you’ll shine brightly and show the world what it means to walk in divine insight!

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you, for I’m born after the image of Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Christ is my wisdom; therefore, I make wise, right and perfect decisions in line with your divine destiny for my life. I live in your will, guided, guarded and propelled by wisdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
