The wise man seeks to know the Lord, who will show him His original plan designed for those who are interested in learning from Christ, the Lamb of God who offered Himself on the cross of Calvary for humanity’s sake. In His death, our sins, sicknesses and diseases were placed (Isaiah 53.4-6). In Christ, there is more for man than he can imagine. We are happy to be part of the New Covenant and we must learn what has been given to us in Him.

When a person doesn't know Jesus as the Savior who delivers them from eternal perdition, they don't know that they have to learn about their rights in the Bible and claim them in the Name of the Lord. However, no one should be hasty. Many people, when they begin to be taught about how to act in the face of the evil one's aggression or about what belongs to them in God's love, they already start giving orders to the spirit world and don't expect them to be fulfilled. Everyone who is hasty makes mistakes (Proverbs 29:20).

No one should let greed direct them, because guiding them is the work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that He would come to instruct us to do the right thing: But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.  (John 14.26). To disregard the work of the Spirit is to sin cruelly, and every sin receives a penalty. We need to meditate on the Scriptures in order not to err!

Use the faith that comes through the Word to seek God's Kingdom and His righteousness first, and the rest will be added to you (Matthew 6.33). We can't be profane like Esau, who sold his birthright for something very fleeting: For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. (Hebrews 12.17). There's nothing better than living in the faith of Christ!

What happened to the young man who hid so that he wouldn't be king, but then pursued David with deadly hatred and only didn't take his life because God kept him? The devil took control of Saul's life (1 Samuel 16:14). We weren't put in this world to be examples of people who get too rich, but who love the Lord and do His will (1 Corinthians 10:31). Everything in this life is fleeting, except the spiritual wealth we gain by loving Jesus (Matthew 6.20).

Follow the direction given to you when you hear the Word preached and never get involved in dubious situations or sinful practices. The Lord will use your life to add souls to His Kingdom, not goods to your property list. Be a simple person, walk according to biblical revelations and trust them by acting in this way: Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days. (Proverbs 19.20). The God of peace will sustain you in the last days.

The saved will stand at the judgment seat of Christ, to give an account of what they have done with the faith and anointing given to them: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.  (2 Corinthians 5.10). May your respect for the Lord increase more and more, so as not to disqualify yourself!

In Christ, with love,
