Take JESUS as your WISDOM

Take JESUS as your WISDOM and make all the right decisions.One moment of GOD'S FAVOR can turn your life around. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us yes, establish the work of our hands. —Psalm 90:17, NIV. 
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. —1 Corinthians 1:27-29. 
But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. —Genesis 39:20-21, NIV You have granted me life and favor, and Your care has preserved my spirit. —Job 10:12 

#HAVE BIG DREAMS

Here's a story of a young man in my congregation who had started a small business distributing swimming pool equipment. When a massive tender for building the world's longest elevated swimming pool came up, this young man, who had been listening to my messages on depending on God's favor, decided to participate in the tender. Despite intense competition for this multi-million dollar construction project, this young man, who had never built a swimming pool in his life, was awarded the project!He didn't have the qualifications or experience of his competitors, but he certainly had the favor of God. His first construction project became the world's most expensive swimming pool. It sits atop an iconic landmark in my country, suspended 57 stories above the ground across three buildings, right in the heart of the city. 

Every time I drive past this landmark and look up to where this beautiful pool is, I am reminded of the goodness and favor of our Lord! Beloved, lean on God's favor and have big dreams! So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor. "And she said to her, "Go, my daughter." Then she left,and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. —Ruth 2:2-3 
So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him [Boaz], "Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?" —Ruth 2:10Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation. —Psalm 106:4 

GOD'S PROVISION EXCEEDS ALL YOUREXPECTATIONS 

Are you believing God for a life partner? Trust the Lord to position you at the right place at the right time to meet the right person. Look at the story of Ruth. Of all the fields that she could have stepped into to collect grain, the Lord led her to Boaz's field! Boaz then fell in love with Ruth and the rest is history.In the natural, all the odds were stacked against Ruth. She was a poor widow and a Moabitess (a foreigner). But that did not stop her from putting her trust in the Lord's favor. 

Now, that favor not only led to the provision of grain for her and her mother-in-law, Naomi, it also led to the provision of a blessed life partner.Beloved, God's provision will exceed all your expectations! Ruth was only believing for grain, but the Lord exceeded her expectations and blessed her with Boaz! Believe with all your heart that Jesus can do the same for you! Then the Lord appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father."... So Isaac dwelt in Gerar. —Genesis 26:2-3, 6Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him.—Genesis 26:12, NIV. 

STAY PUT, TRUST JESUS AND REAP A HUNDREDFOLD! 

Looking at the cracks that lined the parched earth, Isaac thought, "This famine is bad. Perhaps I should leave Gerar and go down to Egypt and plant my crops there." But when he looked up, the Lord appeared and said, "Do not go down to Egypt... Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you..." So Isaac stayed put in Gerar. 

When Isaac had stayed in Gerar for some time, he "planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him." Do you see that? Despite the severe famine, Isaac's crops flourished and he had a most bountiful harvest! Beloved, stay put where God has called you—don't run to the world for help but keep depending on the Lord and His abounding favor. Don't give up on God. When your faith is in the One who multiplied the loaves and fish and who knows everything, you will flourish even in times of famine!
