MESSAGE TOPIC: CRITICAL WISDOM FOR SUCCESSFUL LIVING
By: Dr. Paul Enenche SERVICE OBJECTIVES: Understanding three critical wisdom areas for successful living SCRIPTURAL FACTS ABOUT WISDOM: 1. Wisdom is very critical for profitable, gainful successful living (Eccl. 10:10) 2. Wisdom is very critical for outstanding and distinguished living (Eccl. 8:1) 3. Wisdom is very critical for royal and palatial existence (Prov. 8:15) CRITICAL WISDOM FOR SUCCESSFUL WISDOM: 1. Relationship Wisdom 1a. Relationship can make or mar life and destiny 1b. Relationship can bring out the best or the worst out of the life of a person 1c. Relationship can bring you pain or bring you pleasure 1d. Relationship can facilitate your gain or guarantee your loss 1e. Relationship can bring you acceleration or establish your stagnation 1f. Relationship can contribute to your preservation or facilitate your destruction 1g. Relationship never leaves you neutral; it is either adding something to you or taking something from you WISDOM FOR RELATIONSHIP: 1. Relate with the future in mind, not just for the moment 2. Relate with positive influencers not negative influencers; relate with those who bring the best out of your life not those who bring the worst out of your life 3. Relate with people who treasure your principles and value your standards in life 4. Relate with people who have principles and character that you either want to assimilate or sustain 5. Relate with people who see the treasure that is in you, who are excited about you and what you represent 6. Relate with people who brighten your vision and inflame your passion in life Run away from people who kill your vision, deflate your enthusiasm and puncture your positivity 7. Relate with people who sharpen your potentials, amplify your strengths and suffocate your weaknesses Run away from people who choke your potentials, suffocate your strength and amplify your weakness. You are where you are today because you related with people who either amplified your potentials or suffocated your raw material 8. Relate with people going your direction, with similar destination as yourself 9. Relate with people who speak the language you understand and who understand your language Relate with people whose mindset and utterances are similar with yours. Any friend you quarrel with all the time, is an indication that the relationship is a waste of time. You don’t have eternity to fulfil destiny; you are meant to be solving problems together not settling issues between yourselves 10. Relate with people who are not in insecurity because of your potentials, who are not intimidated by your success and profile Relate with people who celebrate your success, people who are genuinely excited that you are doing well; not those who are uncomfortable with your testimony and bitter with your results 11. Relate with people who will not engage you in unhealthy competition and strife Flee from people who are out to see how they can outdo or outshine your results 12. Relate with people who value you for who you are and not for what they can get from you, not people who are out to use and abuse you 13. Relate with people who can cover your back and veil your nakedness; not those who stab you at the back or join those who do so, not those who expose your faults or errors to ridicule 14. Relate with people who multiply your joy and diminish your pain; not those who diminish your joy and multiply your pain 15. Relate with people who are friends indeed, those who are all-weather friends not fair weather or seasonal friends (Acts 14:20) 16. Relate with people who give you peace and rest; never force yourself to sustain a relationship in which peace is lost If you don’t leave it in peace, it may leave you in pieces COUNSEL FOR WISDOM IN RELATIONSHIP: 1. Never relate carelessly, relate carefully (1Cor. 15:33) Never relate carelessly, it can damage you! 2. Love abundantly (1Thes. 3:12) The person you are not friends with is not your enemy 3. Rely on Divine guidance even in relationships (Prov. 3:5-6) 4. Be a friend indeed (Prov. 18:24) Be there for someone as a brother/sister; people are suffocating in the world today not from food or water but from lack of acceptance CRITICAL WISDOM FOR SUCCESSFUL WISDOM: 2. Time-use Wisdom 3. Financial Wisdom PRAYERS: Father I thank You for Your Word to me today; I come before You tonight.
