Ephesians 3:10-11 ‘To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:’
DAILY READING – 2 Corinthians 12; 1 Chronicles 1-2; Habakkuk 3
In the early years of World War 11, Britain faced a severe shortage of acetone. Acetone was a chemical used in manufacturing the propellant used by the Army and Navy to fire artillery shells. Without acetone, the British could no longer fight effectively and defeat seemed eminent.
However, a Jewish scientist named Chaim Weizmann came to the rescue. At the request of the British Prime minister Winston Churchill, Weizmann devised new ways of converting grains to acetone.
His efforts led to production of more than 90,000 gallons of acetone per year, which enabled the British Army and Navy to fire 248 million shells in the course of the war. Weizmann’s extraordinary scientific knowledge saved the British from defeat.
After the war, the British government sought to reward him. At this time, Weizmann was a leader in the Zionist movement, an organization aimed at establishing a homeland for the Jews in Palestine; an idea greatly opposed by the Arab nations.
However, on November 2nd 1917, the British Cabinet, as reward to Weizmann, approved the signing of ‘the Balfour Declaration’,. This historical document recommended the establishment of a national Jewish homeland in Palestine. This was a major breakthrough for the Jews, and eventually paved the way to the establishment of the modern state of Israel on May 14, 1948.
In February 1949, Chaim Weizmann became the first president of Israel.
Just like Biblical Joseph, God used Chaim Weizmann to solve a national problem and through him secured a homeland for the Jews.
Indeed wisdom is the principal thing. And in the world today, divine wisdom is needed more than ever before. A glance at the world headlines will tell you the world is in confusion. The scientific and medical experts cannot seem to agree on a solution. Conflicting theories and stories are flying around on the social media. Governments and systems are being stretched to their limits. The world’s economy totters on the brink as financial experts predict a recession close to the great depression of 1929.
Indeed the world needs answers. However in God’s agenda the solution to the world’s problem will come through divine wisdom imparted to the end-time Church.
Isaiah 2:2 says ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it’
We are in the last days. And all nations shall come to the Lord’s House to find solutions. We must understand that God has reserved the strongest wave of divine wisdom for the end-time Church. In God’s eternal purpose, His manifold wisdom will be displayed through the church.
Ephesians 3:10-11 says ‘To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:’
As gross darkness covers the earth, the glory of The Lord shall be shining upon His people. We are to be light of the world and salt of the earth. We are meant to be solution providers, a city set on a hill that cannot be hid.
This is why we cannot afford to fold our hands as confusing events unfold on the earth. Every child of God has a crucial part to play. It is time for us to begin to display the manifold wisdom of God. Many problems in the world today are traceable to spiritual ignorance and people are perishing for lack of knowledge. We must therefore begin to tell men the truth of God’s Word that sets free. Instead of engaging in idle talks or posting mundane things on social media, let’s begin to share nuggets of edifying truth from God’s Word. And to effectively dispense the truth we must upgrade our minds through in-depth study of God’s Word. You cannot give what you don’t have. It is the entrance of God’s Word that gives light. And as we carry this light, we can then be able to show men the way out of the darkness.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to develop a greater appetite for Your Word. And as I study Your Word, let Your light so fill my heart that I indeed begin to manifest Your manifold Wisdom to the world around me in Jesus Name.
