“I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
“When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shall not stumble.
“Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
“Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
“Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away” (Proverbs 4:11-15)
WELCOME to the month of March, 2025 with our focus titled: “The Way of Wisdom” (Proverbs 4:11-15)
I decree and declare that the wisdom of God should lead you into the right paths, teach you the good and right way throughout the Month of March and beyond;
May His wisdom deliver you from the path of the wicked and cause you not to go in the way of evil men; and
May His wisdom cause your paths to shine brighter and brighter unto a perfect day, in Jesus Name.
Introduction:
It has been established that God is the custodian and giver of wisdom. He created the whole World in Six Days in His wisdom. “The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens.

By knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew” (Proverbs 3:19-20).
He also gives wisdom liberally to those who lack it. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him” (James 1:5).
The way of wisdom is the way of instruction, grace, glory, discretion, etc. There is a dimension of strength and indefatigability that the way of wisdom brings, that is indescribable. The way of wisdom establishes you in your place of authority and influence. There is a dimension of grace and ease that the way of wisdom carries. It also brings a dimension of anointing and glory upon your life. It teaches you the good and right ways in following God and His principles for living. It delivers you from the path of the wicked and cause you not to go in the way of evil men.
The way of wisdom tends to pleasantness, peace, joy, fulfilment and establishment. It brings to you honour and riches in abundance. It delivers you from destruction and losses. It enhances your longevity and preservation.
But when you are void of wisdom, destruction, deception and foolishness are inevitable. Hear what the Bible says “He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray” (Proverbs 5:23).

You become susceptible to all manners of attack from the Kingdom of darkness, when you are void of wisdom and understanding. It causes you to depart from the way of truth.
My counsel to you this Month, is to go in search of wisdom, which is the principal thing, and with all thy getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many (Proverbs 4:7-10)
