There’s A Time To Pray, There’s A time To Use Wisdom

God gave us knowledge to solve some of our problems, when the wisdom He gave us isn’t enough to solve the problem, then we consult Him in prayers, it isn’t everything you take to God in prayer, He gave you wisdom to immediately help yourself before coming to Him.

The exam is fixed, what you need isn’t prayer, what you need is retentive memory and knowledge to pass the exam, then when you have exercised your knowledge and it wasn’t enough to get you through, then prayer of favour is needed, but if you lock yourself up in a room without studying expecting angels to descend and write the exams for you, believe it, those who tried that experiment never stopped failing.

Was it everything Jesus did that involved prayer? When they pressed on Him to push Him down from the mountain, he applied wisdom, and excused Himself from them, if he had stood to pray, they would’ve pushed Him down, and by the Bible there’s nothing God could have done about it.

He said to Adam have dominion and subdue all things, because He gave him wisdom and power to be in charge without Him.

If at the slight of every little thing you run to God, why are you God’s image? Why did He place you in charge of all the things He made?

A table is set before you, do still need prayer to provide a spoon, you need knowledge to fetch a spoon.
Adam didn’t pray God to assist him rule the earth, he named all things all by himself, including things beyond his sight in the cosmos, Adam named them all, he didn’t consult God in any prayer, God placed in us endless abilities to subdue the earth.

Man is in charge of this earth, at times it seem the devil is ruling, it’s so because we give him the liberty, is there any country where the Devil is the president, senator or governor? Man is in charge, and we can decide to shut the Devil of the world if we live in total obedience to God.

Solomon during his reign only consulted God when the issue was beyond his wisdom.
There are times God given knowledge could be the answer to the pray you have prayed for years, most of the things prophet Daniel did was by wisdom and knowledge and God perfected them.

Make God proud, assure Him He didn’t waste time to create you, He put so much potential in you to be calling for every matter, God wants all men to be excellent in wisdom and knowledge.

If you desire to fly a jet, God has given you the wisdom to acquire a knowledge and fly the jet, even if you pray for a million years, without acquiring the needed knowledge if you attempt to fly that jet you will crash.
God can’t save you from crashing because you prayed to Him, rather He will save you because first did the right thing, Satan said to Jesus jump down from the pinnacle of the temple that it’s written the angel will carry Him, Jesus said to him, it’s written do not tempt the Lord your God.

There are things written that explains what’s written, don’t always embrace what’s written instead embrace what explains what’s written.

Know when you need to pray and know when you need to apply the wisdom God gave you, both work differently same perfectly, even when it time to pray, if you lack the needed wisdom, you won’t even know what to pray, in all things, is all situation you need wisdom to steer your prayer.
