Topic: EXTREME IN SPIRITUAL MATTERS
Biblical Text: “ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding”. [Proverbs 4:7]
I recall a brother in a fellowship at the University I graduated from. He was spiritual and active in the fellowship but hates reading his academic book. Sometimes, after going to an all-night prayer meeting, he does not attend lectures throughout the next day. Gradually, his academic workload was piling up and he kept neglecting it. By the time he got to his final year in the University, he had subjects to re-sit for, that will make him stay for at least an extra year in the University. He went to the extreme, dedicated time for his spirituality growth but neglected his academic growth. He was a lazy Christian. God wants us to live a balanced Christian life. He is concerned about your spiritual growth as well as every other needed growth in your life and that includes your mental growth. If the reason why you failed in examination is because of your activities in Church, you are a lazy Christian. I heard the story of a believer who was very active in the fellowship in the University; it did not deter him from coming out with a first class in Engineering. My earthly father showed me an examination script of a student in the university. He did not attempt to answer any of the questions, but he used about three pages of his examination script to preach Christ to the person marking his scripts. He went to the extreme; he failed woefully! Do not be a slothful, lazy Christian who goes to the extreme. Apply wisdom and get understanding.
KNOW IT ∞ Do not be a lazy and slothful Christian who goes to the extreme in spiritual matters.
READ IT ∞ Proverbs 3:13; 4:5, 16:16
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the wisdom to avoid the extreme and live a balanced Christian life
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Haggai 1-2
