Beloved Sister
Listen
Transcript:
Proverbs 7:4 says you need to love wisdom like a sister and make it a beloved and celebrated member of your family. Brothers can sometimes be harsh, but wisdom is like a sister and so treat her with gentleness, provide her with everything she needs and give her the place of respect in the house.
In the Old Testament, the twelve brothers of Dinah in Jacob’s house were upset because somebody disrespected their sister. They in fact disobeyed their father Jacob and went all out to destroy an entire city because one man defiled their sister. They loved her so much that they did not even mind being cruel, hurtful, and hateful to take vengeance because of their love for their sister.
May you read the word of God and pray and become so intentional to receive wisdom in your house the way that the twelve brothers of Dinah would fight for her honour in that house.
We need to have a constant quest to get information, insight, knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
Will you take your quest for wisdom very seriously? When you read the word or listen to the podcast or sermon, may you receive with respect the wisdom that is coming your way. If you are going to take the wisdom and the insight for granted, it is just a matter of time before you lose access to that wisdom and you will reach a place where you may be getting information but that information will not help or transform you.
May you rejoice when you get a new insight or you experience new wisdom. If you express your honour and devotion to wisdom and insight and also become intentional to do it, then they will multiply in your life as the days go by.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
