WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL
BY BISHOP MIKE OKONKWO
FRIDAY JULY 3rd 2026
TOPIC: FREELY GIVEN
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” – 1 Corinthians 2:12 KJV
When you discover the wealth hidden in the Word of God, you will just go to bed, and your prayer language will change, knowing you can have it all. God’s Kingdom is ruled by principles. The principles in God’s Word work first in you before they work for you.
In other words, what you do flows from who you are. Knowing who you are is much more important than what you do. That is why you were given the Bible, so you can see that there are principles God wants you, as His child, to understand. For instance, despite the recession, He wants you to see the wealth that He has lined up for you as His child.
As a believer, you can either choose to go through life by trial and error, taking whatever comes your way, or you can choose to discover and receive all that God has packaged for you. Settle it in your heart that God did not call you to seek Him in vain. He intends for you to see the fulfilment of the desires of your heart.
He says in Revelation 3:8: “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.” (KJV). In other words, no amount of satanic manipulation will be able to stop you on your way to receiving all that God has prepared for you this season.
Another thing that is lined up for you as a child of God is His glory. There is glory in store for you, a glory that nothing can stop. When you talk about glory, you are talking about magnificence, splendour, beauty, grandeur, brilliance, and wealth. When the glory of God comes upon a man, every area of his life is transformed.
