Bible Text

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it.

Luke 14:28

Devotional

High fliers are great thinkers. To go up, you must first sit down and think. Most of the persons who experience failures in life do because they refuse to think. They think they are fast, but they end up falling. If you can think, you will not stink. Even God said to us, “Come let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18).

You are about to enrol your children into school, you have to sit down and think. You do not enrol them into a school because that is the school your friend’s children attend. There are valuable questions you have to ask yourself and answer when you think: “This school I want to enrol my kids into, can we afford the fees without borrowing? Will other aspects of our responsibilities as parents suffer drastically because of our enrolling them into such school? Is the school accessible?”

When you sincerely answer the questions and they are unfavourable to you, you fix them into another good school that also meets your needs, and you can afford. God will perfect everything about those children by His Spirit knowing you are operating in His wisdom. How can you continually beg for school fees for your children every academic session? Or your household cannot feed because all your income goes into school fees? It means you are not wise. If you can sit with yourself and engage in thinking before taking decision, you will walk wisely and bring glory to God.

When we think rightly, we operate in grace because we give room for the Holy Spirit to impress in our hearts what to do. I pray for you; you will not know shame as you give yourself to right thinking.

Prayer

My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, the power to engage my mind in profitable thinking, come alive in me by fire.
