Today’s Promise
September 14, 2021
God Gives Me Wisdom and Revelation
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him.
Ephesians 1:17
Claiming Paul’s Prayer
The Apostle Paul opens the book of Ephesians with a prayer for the church in Ephesus. Today, we are claiming that same prayer for ourselves.
A Spirit of Wisdom
In the first part of this prayer, Paul asks that God give us a spirit of wisdom. Wisdom and knowledge are two different things. A person may have lots of knowledge but little wisdom. Knowledge is about facts, while wisdom is about living. Wisdom helps you make good decisions that bring success and glory to God.
Wisdom knows how to live in line with the will of God. God gives wisdom to everyone who asks. The book of James says if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask the Lord. True wisdom only comes from the Lord. God gave Joshua a spirit of wisdom when he took Moses’s position of leadership.
Revelation of God
Second, Paul prays we receive revelation in the knowledge of God. You only know God through revelation. You can learn about God through reading the Bible, but it takes revelation from the Holy Spirit to really understand the ways of the Lord. Only the Holy Spirit can move God’s word from your head to your heart. Some of the meanest Christians I’ve met knew the Bible, but they have never allowed the Holy Spirit to teach them spiritual truth. In John 16:14, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would teach us all things.
The Holy Spirit illuminates our hearts and minds so we can understand spiritual truth. Paul’s prayer is for the Holy Spirit to reveal the Lord Jesus to us.
Before you came to Christ, spiritual things were a mystery. You may have known the Bible, but you couldn’t really know the Lord Jesus. Now that the Holy Spirit resides in you, He teaches you, gives you wisdom, and reveals the Lord Jesus to you.
Look at that promise again.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him. – Ephesians 1:17
Make these confessions.
- I have a spirit of wisdom.
- The Holy Spirit is revealing Christ to me.
- God is answering Paul’s prayer in my life today.
- The Holy Spirit is giving me a true knowledge of Jesus.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
When you ask for wisdom God always answers. As you listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, He will impart wisdom, and reveal the Lord Jesus to you.
