Flourishing By Divine Ideas

 Proverbs 8:12 Witty inventions are great ideas. Great ideas are aspects of wisdom, the wisdom of God. Prudence, discretion, and witty inventions (clever devices, innovations, plans, ideas) come from the wisdom of God. Everything human beings have achieved were once ideas. Ideas are applicable to every area of life. Good ideas improve our lives and our world. God given ideas make us succeed, they make us flourish, they make us do well. Ideas can help us achieve our goals and dreams. God given ideas can bring us out of tough situations. Not every idea is God inspired, there are bad ideas, wicked schemes, evil devices, and dark plans. Divine ideas are good ideas. Divine ideas not only prosper the individuals blessed to receive the ideas, they benefit other people too. They are ideas given or inspired by God. God wants to give you divine ideas. Ideas are one of the ways God helps and blesses people. Businesses, churches, families, communities, and nations can flourish through ideas, divin

Flourishing In Divine Love

  1 Corinthians 13 Our text passage is a very popular chapter on love in the scriptures. It is the love chapter, in this chapter we see what divine love is, how important it is, and how it is the very essence of our Christian walk. Love according to 1 Corinthians 13 is depicted as such a tall order to attain for any human. It is a kind of love that is forgiving, sacrificial, caring, and considers the greater good. This is the kind of love God wants fully formed in His people, His churches, and in families.

This fallen nature makes it hard and impossible to walk and operate in the love God would have us live by. The love God wants us growing and flourishing in is divine love. Fortunately the Spirit of God is made available through Jesus Christ to help us walk in this type of love. It is this love that took Jesus to the cross, kept Him on the cross,  it made Him die and rise

The Planting Of The Lord

  Isaiah 61:3 Our text informs about being the planting of the Lord. In the scriptures we see plants used in parables, used to describe, pass messages across, and Jesus and His people referred to as plants. We are spiritual plants. God's own planting! Plants are useful to humanity and they benefit the environment. They beautify the environment, they help the ecological balance, and they are a part of the cycle of life. How well a plant develops has to do with the diligence and care of the husbandman/vinedresser towards the plant. God's people are referred to as His plants. Isaiah 60:21 God is our husbandman/vinedresser/gardener, Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. John 15:1-6 God cultivates our life like a farmer cultivates His farm land, and He nurtures us like  a gardener his plants and a farmer his crops. The result is that we flourish. Psalm 92:12-14 The outcome of God's nurture is that we become fruitful. Jeremiah 17:7,8 Plants are useful to us in  three major ways
