As Christians, allowing our faith to stand in the wisdom of men means that we trust in the ability of man and rest on the arm of flesh. This will lead us nowhere. The Bible says, “Thus saith the Lord ; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. He will not see when good thing is coming…….” Jeremiah 17 vs. 5 – 6.
Honestly, when our faith stands on the wisdom of men, we can not see beyond the physical because the wisdom of man is limited to his power, ability, wisdom, experience, and qualifications. All these can not take us far nor avail us much in life.
Putting our faith in the power of God will take us beyond our limit. It will take us beyond the physical to supernatural. Obviously, when you put your faith in the power of God, it will take you from impossible to possibility, natural to supernatural because in the power of God lies miracles that will defy human wisdom, qualifications, reasoning, and understanding. God’s power is beyond the physical!
When you consider deeply what the power of God has done. You will understand that God’s power is incomparable. It defies human wisdom in diverse ways. The scripture testifies to this (Exodus 14 vs.16, 21-22, 17 v 6, Numbers 20 v 11, John 11 vs 39 – 44, Genesis 21 vs.1 -2, Luke 1 vs. 5 – 7,13, 24 -25, Luke 7 vs.11-15, Mathew 9 vs.18-19, 23-25. To mention just a few.
AS CELESTIANS, our Hymn encourages us to put our trust in God as we worship in this fold. CCC Hymn 529:Gbeke re le Oluwa ninu ijo mimo yi,… etc.( Establish your faith in the Lord in this Celestial fold,….etc)
In conclusion, Dear Brethren, let’s take our trust and focus from human wisdom and put our faith solely in the power of God that can not let us down. Proverbs 3 verse 5 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
I pray that as we journey through life in this new year the grace to rely solely on God’s power for everything we desire unto the fulfillment of God’s purpose for our lives the Lord will endow upon us in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
Have a fruitful day.
Stay blessed.
JESUS IS LORD!
