Proverbs 4:7 ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.’
DAILY READING; Luke 5:1-26; Ezekiel 48; Isaiah 66
Aiden Wilson Tozer was an outstanding pastor, author and spiritual leader who made great impact in the world.
A.W Tozer was just a 15 years old farm boy, when his father suffered a nervous breakdown. With his father’s illness, Tozer was forced to help in providing for their family.
Tozer’s first job was selling candy, peanuts and books on a commission. But he had such an insatiable love for reading that he preferred to sit and read the books he was supposed to be selling. This made him to hardly make earnings from sales.
His gain was being enriched by the vast knowledge he acquired. He eventually found another job at a rubber company, cutting chunks of crude rubber. As he did the monotonous work with his hands, he would put up a book in front of him, reading it as he worked.
This job gave him better earnings that enabled him to better provide for their family.
Lacking formal education, he decided to enroll in high school but he was there for only one day. After being in the class, he decided he could make better progress in independent study.
Tozer became largely self-taught.
Years later when he began serving as a preacher, his remarkable breadth of knowledge paid off. Soon he became greatly sought after and made rapid progress in his field. Many of his readers and listeners would marvel at his insightful teaching and impactful writings.
A man of fervent prayers and deep study of God’s Word, Dr. A.W Tozer enjoyed great inspiration of the Holy Spirit. His connection to divine wisdom is evident in his many books and articles which continue to be great blessings to the world today.
A.W Tozer started out in life as a mere farm boy, but through discipline and dedication to reading and learning, he became an outstanding leader.
Truly, the investments we make today will show up tomorrow.
Those who walk the narrow path of self-discipline will end up leaving their footprints on the sand of time.
Everyone who will become a leader must become a committed reader and learner in their field of endeavor. The wisdom you gain will cause you to take the lead, set the pace and blaze the trail in your field.
Isaiah 33:6 says: ‘And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure’
This means that the wisdom of God stabilizes the destinies of men.
Truly, wisdom is the principal thing in life. [Proverbs 4:7].
To enjoy supernatural success and open doors in this 9th month we must prayerfully engage in seeking the wisdom of God from His Word.
The great potentials inherent in us will never find expression beyond the quality of our investment in seeking wisdom and knowledge.
The truth is that you can never get out of life more than you are willing to put into it. Those who play today, will pay tomorrow.
But when you discipline yourself to seeking divine wisdom, you will find the key of knowledge which will open to you the doors of success and usher you to the topmost places in life.
PRAYER: Father please help me to pay the required price to seek divine wisdom and knowledge. Today, I receive the grace to separate myself from frivolities so as focus on the pursuit of Your divine purpose for my life in Jesus Name.
