WISDOM OF THE ELDERS – PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
MEMORISE: My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. Proverbs 1:10
READ: 1 Kings 12:6-10
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
MESSAGE:
In today’s Bible reading, a young king named Rehoboam consulted the elders of the land on how to reign over the people. He got advice that would have brought about a peaceful reign and wonderful co-existence among his subjects, but he ignored the elders’ advice and accepted that of his peers, who encouraged him to make life miserable for the people so that they could respect and fear him. The consequence, however, was a total division of the kingdom of Israel.
You need to understand that the elders have wisdom you can learn from, which will take you to great heights. When my Father in the Lord was alive, he taught me many things that became my foundation in Christianity. Papa was an elder with the wisdom of 1,000 men, and if someone spent at least a year with him, I believe he or she would never be foolish.
Many people talk or act foolishly today because they do not relate with godly elderly people. No matter how smart, intelligent, or technologically inclined you are, there is a superior wisdom that you can tap from. May the Lord align you with elders whose wisdom will give you wings to fly in your lifetime, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT:
You can learn valuable skills such as budgeting, cooking, home management, et cetera from an elder this year.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 28:14-30:11 Galatians 3:23-4:31
HYMN 43: Lead Us Heavenly Father, Lead Us
- Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us
O’er The World’s Tempestuous Sea;
Guard Us, Guide Us, Keep Us, Feed Us,
For We Have No Help But Thee,
Yet Possessing Every Blessing
If Our God Our Father Be. - Saviour, Breathe Forgiveness O’er Us;
All Our Weakness Thou Dost Know;
Thou Didst Tread This Earth Before Us,
Thou Didst Feel Its Keenest Woe;
Lone And Dreary, Faint And Weary,
Through The Desert Thou Didst Go. - Spirit Of Our God, Descending,
Fill Our Hearts With Heavenly Joy,
Love With Every Passion Blending,
Pleasure That Can Never Cloy;
Thus Provided, Pardoned, Guided,
Nothing Can Our Peace Destroy.
1 John 3:1-2 CEV, John 1:12-13
