Why you need to ask for wisdom

Last month, we had been talking about wisdom from God and why it is important to ask for it. 

James 1:5 says that those who do not have wisdom should request it from God, who gives all things generously and He will grant it to them.  If you read proverbs 4:1, you see that wisdom can protect you. 

Salomon was a king, he could have asked God for many other things but he asked for wisdom.

What do you ask God to give you? What do you think is the solution to your problems?  How can you live a prosperous life in spite of where you are?

Well, the answer to these questions is that we need the wisdom of God. Remember, God gave wisdom to Salomon. He can do the same for you today.

Before I understood the importance of asking God for wisdom, I would ask God for money and I would get it. However, I realized with time that what I needed the most was not money but wisdom that will enable me to get this money because money follows what you know.

When you ask God for Wisdom, he changes you into a solution to problems and that causes you to get many other things. Pray to God to change you into a solution for other people’s problems. Remember, people came from all over the world to seek Salomon’s wisdom. They will also come to you for help and receive answers to their problems.

Today, change the way you pray and ask God for wisdom. You will sleep and get ideas which look simple but because they come from God, they will be extraordinary. God will also give you the provision you need because he is the one who will give you those ideas.
