READ: Jeremiah 8:8-11
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Jeremiah 8:9
If you reject the word of God, what wisdom can you claim to have? You have no wisdom, once you do not have the word of God.
Wisdom is the principal thing because the word of God is the principal thing for us servants of God. You can never claim to have wisdom outside the word of God. The word of God is the wisdom of God for our lives. The word of God is the principal thing that is needed for your ministry.
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Psalm 119:130
Indeed, the word of God in your life is more important than prayer.
The word of God is more important than power.
The word of God is more important than miracles.
It is through the word of God that you will know how much you have to pray.
It is through the word of God that you will know how much you have to fast.
It is through the word of God that you will know and understand the role of miracles, power and healing in your ministry.
The word of God is definitely more important than anything else.
If I had to choose between praying and the word of God, I would choose the word of God. Through the word of God, I will know exactly what to do next.
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth…
Proverbs 20:22
I will be corrected, directed, instructed, rebuked and guided through the word of God. Indeed, I will become very prayerful and full of fasting through my understanding of the word of God.
