Deploying Wisdom for Success!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, January 12, 2026 Topic: DEPLOYING WISDOM FOR SUCCESS! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success" - Ecclesiastes‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Bible Text: Proverbs‬ ‭24:3‭-‬4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 3. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; 4. By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. INSPIRATION: Have you seen or heard people personalise a pain? Ever heard, "My headache," "my condition," or "my worry," etc? Some use these to stress the depth or magnitude of their misery so as to attract sympathy and excuse them for failing to live up to certain standards. A wise man called it a 'WISDOM PROBLEM." Explaining, he further said that no one has a money problem but a wisdom problem; no one has a relationship or love problem but a wisdom problem. We often think and blame several other factors for our plight but fail to realise none of those would have been a factor if we were wiser. The year has begun. You cannot operate on the same scale as you did last year and expect a different result. You must uptool and upskill to meet the demands of your new reality. Don't expend valuable time and energy using blunt axe to fell your trees this year. Use wisdom to change the game. Build every venture on sound wisdom; get adequate understanding if you must be established. Wisdom builds great empires; it eliminates what unwise people refer to as their problems. Wisdom aids decision making processes, whether in the family or in the boardroom. Wisdom finetunes your presentation to make you noticeable and command significant attention. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Wisdom is not just profitable to direct; it brings success. Wisdom sets you apart and delivers seamless results. Physical strength is limited compared to the limitless reach that Wisdom affords. Be wiser this year. PRAYER:  Dear Lord, please impact me with Your wisdom and guide my choices, decisions and actions wisely to a fruitful and productive end. Help me to bear results that only divine wisdom can determine, in Jesus name.
