Acquire Wisdom by kpakpandoN(m): 7:06am On Oct 21, 2013
Besides fearing God, one must also be wise. It is possible to work hard and not work smart. When there is an assignment to be done and there is not enough wisdom to do the work, it could be boring, laborious, take a longer time and bring about a lot of wastage and even injury. For instance, in Exodus 18:17-23, Moses who was highly anointed and very hardworking, did not work smart for lack of wisdom. God had to use his father-in-law to give him the wisdom he required, and from that moment, the work became easier and he could find sometime to rest and thereby prolong his life. Hard work is good but working smart is better. Many people who worked hard without working smart have had to die before their time. Jethro was a wise man. He applied certain principles of doing work in other to achieve greater productivity at lesser costs. He was also ready to share these principles. There is nothing wrong with enrolling for leadership courses that will enhance your productivity. Some people will ask: 'what will they teach there? Is it not worldly wisdom?' Thank God for the Bible, yet, there are certain principles that have been tried in secular businesses that will equally be beneficial in the kingdom. To be on top, there is need to continue to improve your skills and knowledge. Try things a bit different from how you normally do them. You must be ready to accept change. In addition to secular seminars and training programmes, you can ask God for wisdom in a specific area. You can read up books on finance, savings and investments to boost your knowledge in that area. You can go on the Internet to download information. We live in the information age and it will be most tragic to be without information during this age.
