Wisdom for Winning
For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it. Ecclesiastes 7:12 (NKJV)

Life is a battlefield not a soccer field, warfare not a funfair, a wrestling and not a resting. Every confrontation, temptation, oppression, affliction, delay and loss is an attack on your faith. It is not against your person, possession or position though all these get affected along the line, but the main target of the enemy of your destiny is your faith.

Though it is a fight of faith, it must be engaged in wisdom. God has provided His wisdom as a major and principal defence against all known and unknown offences. It will take the wisdom of God to win and reign in life. While faith connects us to heaven for possibility of victory, wisdom of God in application makes that victory a practical reality on the earth. Faith is the access to the spirit world, while wisdom of God leads us to discover, locate and possess what we know belong to us here on earth. This is your day.

Wisdom Fountain: “True victory is secured through deep foresight and planning before taking action.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray for the spirit of wisdom and understanding. As I face every task, challenge, or goal, clear my mind of fear and confusion. Give me the insight to make the right choices, the strategy to do my very best, and the discipline to stay the course. Guide my steps and grant me the victory that comes from Your perfect plan in Jesus' name.
