Wisdom is the judicious application of knowledge. The knowledge of the holy scriptures teaches us to fear God and depart from sin. And the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. From the word of God, we know that God is angry with the wicked every day, so it is wisdom to abstain from all appearance of evil and obtain His favour.

The knowledge of the truth gives boldness in the face of oppression and intimidation. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were not afraid of the threat of being cast into the burning fiery furnace, because they knew that God could deliver them. It was the knowledge of God's word that strengthened them at the hour of temptation: for He has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Having already provided all that man will ever need, the Lord is surprised that the children of men are labouring to pay for that which is not bread and does not satisfy. Beware of so-called men of God who demand for money to help you pray down God's blessing upon your life. These are false Pastors, false Apostles and false Prophets, who serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly. They are there to deceive you by sweet words and fair speeches. Please avoid them.

According to Jesus, believers are the light of the world because He dwells in them. But a believer will not have the expected influence in their little corner of the community if they fail to shine by hiding or covering their light. Let your light so shine as commanded by the Lord. Light is stronger than darkness: no matter its thickness, darkness cannot comprehend the light of God in you. (Let your moderation be known unto all men that the Lord brings your way.)

It was agreed that Prophet Samuel would meet up with King Saul and his men at Gilgal within seven days as they were waiting to engage the Philistines in a battle. As a priest Prophet Samuel was expected to offer sacrifice unto God in preparation for the battle. Unfortunately, Samuel did not show up at the appointed time so Saul forced himself and offered the sacrifice when he saw the armies of Philistines advancing. But Saul was only a king and not a priest.
