OPEN HEAVEN 26 JUNE 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: THE SOURCE OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
MEMORISE:
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6
READ: Isaiah 33:5-6

6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 26 JUNE 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
Wisdom and knowledge are very important in the life of every human being. They are so important that Proverbs 4:7 says:
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Wisdom is the correct application of knowledge. If you have everything in this world and also have vast knowledge about many things but fail to apply the knowledge correctly, you are still in lack.
Hosea 4:6 says:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
The Scripture above tells us that God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; that is how important wisdom and knowledge are.
The question now is, how can you get wisdom and knowledge? To answer this question, we should first and foremost identify the source of wisdom and knowledge. Daniel 2:20 tells us that wisdom and might belong to God. James 1:5 also tells us that God is the One who gives wisdom, while Colossians 2:3 says wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. God is clearly the only source of wisdom; He is the only wise God (1 Timothy 1:17).
During my postgraduate studies at the University of Lagos, my research supervisor travelled out of the country for a while. Before he travelled, he gave me a very difficult assignment. By the time he came back and saw how much progress I had made within the short period he was away, he looked at me and said, “Enoch, I know you’re a Christian, and you won’t lie to me. What I am seeing could not have been done by you alone, so tell me, who helped you?” Even though my supervisor knew that Christians do not lie, he was Hindu and didn’t believe in Jesus Christ. Hence, if I had told him that Jesus Christ helped me, he wasn’t going to take me seriously. So, I said to him, “Professor Emmanuel helped me.” However, I got into trouble when he asked, “Professor Emmanuel? Of which department?”
The best professors in the world are only experts in a few disciplines because man is limited in wisdom and knowledge. However, God knows all academic subjects and everything else in the world. When you partner with Him, He will grant you access to unusual depths of wisdom and knowledge that will help you live an excellent life.
KEY POINT:
When you connect and partner with God, you will have access to unusual wisdom and knowledge
