And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment. (Philippians 1:9)

Love is one of the greatest evidences of spiritual growth, but biblical love is not driven by emotions alone. God desires that our love increases together with understanding and discernment. When love is guided by truth, it becomes a powerful force that blesses, strengthens, and protects others.

Many people mistake love for simply agreeing with everyone or overlooking everything. However, true Christian love is rooted in God’s Word. It knows how to encourage, correct, help, and build people up according to God’s wisdom.

As you mature spiritually, your love should become more effective and purposeful. It should help people draw closer to God and become stronger in their faith. Love without wisdom can be misguided, but love joined with discernment produces lasting fruit.

Choose to grow in this kind of love every day. Let your words, actions, and decisions be influenced by both compassion and divine understanding.

Prayer:

Precious Father, thank You for teaching me to love as You love. Let my love abound with knowledge and discernment. I choose to express Your wisdom and kindness in all my relationships, that my life may glorify You always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age… who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:14)

One of the clear signs of spiritual maturity is discernment—the ability to recognize and distinguish what is truly from God and what is not. As you grow in Christ, you must not remain unaware of the workings of the enemy. There are influences, thoughts, and directions that may appear normal but, if not discerned correctly, can lead you away from God’s plan.

Sometimes, the very things meant for your promotion are the things the enemy tries to interrupt. Wrong thoughts, distractions, and unnecessary decisions can be planted subtly to delay your progress. This is why discernment is not optional—it is essential. Without it, a person may move forward in some areas but unknowingly take steps backward in others.

The one who is relevant in the Kingdom of God is a target of the devil for such attacks. But God has not left you without help. He has given you His Spirit so you can discern, respond, and overcome. If you notice, you will see that the days you make wrong decisions are the days you have not taken time to fill yourself with the Spirit. So make sure you fill yourself with the Spirit daily by: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” (Ephesians 5:19–21)

So make it a priority to pray and present yourself as a living sacrifice. As you do, your spirit becomes sensitive, your discernment becomes sharp, and you will walk in accuracy and victory always. Glory!!

Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I receive grace to grow in discernment and maturity. My spiritual senses are exercised to recognize and overcome every work of the enemy. I refuse wrong thoughts and distractions, and I walk in wisdom and accuracy. I fill myself with the Spirit daily, and I manifest Your will in all I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Take heed therefore how ye hear…(Luke 8:18)

Your life will always move in the direction of the voice you follow. Many believers hear the Word of God but neutralize its power by listening to conflicting voices. The result is instability—faith rises momentarily, then collapses under pressure.

Informations you allow into yourself shapes your life. What you consistently hear becomes what you believe, and what you believe becomes how you live. This is why year after year, some people experience the same struggles—nothing changes because the source of their thinking has not changed.

God does not send you to many voices, thus it’s important that you stick to the voice of the shepherd God chose for you. Scripture teaches us that while there may be many teachers, spiritual growth requires divine order and clarity(ref. 1 Corinthians 4:15). Listening without discernment leads to confusion, not balance.

This year, decide to protect your hearing. Let the Word of God shape your convictions, your decisions, and your expectations. Remember, stability is a product of consistency in truth.

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank You for Your Word that brings clarity and direction to my life. I choose to guard what I hear and to follow the voice of truth, through my shepherd. I refuse confusion and instability. My life is aligned with Your Word, and I walk in divine consistency, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Jesus: The Giver of Supernatural Understanding https://secretofsuccess.org/2025/12/01/jesus-giver-of-supernatural-understanding/ https://secretofsuccess.org/2025/12/01/jesus-giver-of-supernatural-understanding/#respond Mon, 01 Dec 2025 08:17:39 +0000 https://secretofsuccess.org/?p=4252 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true. (1 John 5:20)

Today we have entered the last month of the year, we have entered the best time of the year the Christmas time. Christmas is not merely the story of a baby in a manger — it is the celebration of the Son of God who came to give us understanding. Without revelation from God, a man can hear about Jesus and yet never truly know Him. Human reasoning cannot discover God; it is only when the Spirit opens our eyes that we behold Him as Father, Saviour, Lord and Life. The gift of understanding is a Christmas gift that transforms destinies.

When Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, He breathed on them and opened their understanding. The world saw a crucified Man — but they saw the Lord of Glory, the Resurrection and the Life. This same Spirit has been poured out upon us. It is the same Holy Spirit who gives us insight into Scriptures, the knowledge of God, and the ability to walk with Him.

Christmas reminds us that God didn’t leave us in darkness to search for Him blindly — He revealed Himself. He gave us His Word, His Spirit and His understanding. Today He calls us not to pursue religion, but relationship; not simply a season of celebration, but a lifetime of fellowship. So celebrate this season with the right reason.

Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for sending Lord Jesus to give me supernatural understanding. Thank you for opening my eyes to know You more deeply. Your Spirit floods my heart with revelation and insight every day. I refuse to live by human wisdom — I live by the light of Your Spirit. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27).

Every child of God has the capacity to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. The moment you were born again, your spirit was recreated to be in perfect fellowship with Him. The secret of success is not merely praying for direction—it’s learning to recognize His voice and respond quickly.

The Holy Spirit speaks all the time, but not always in the ways people expect. Sometimes His voice is a gentle inward witness, a quiet nudge, or a strong conviction in your heart. At other times, it comes as a word that rises suddenly in your spirit during prayer or worship. He can even guide you through peace— like when something is right, your spirit feels settled; when it’s wrong, there’s unrest.

The key is sensitivity. Sensitivity grows through fellowship. The more time you spend with Him—praying in tongues, studying the Word, and meditating on His truth—the more clearly you recognize His voice. Just like you easily recognize a close friend’s voice after spending much time together, your spirit begins to discern the Holy Spirit’s tone, timing, and leading.

Never treat His voice casually. The difference between divine success and struggle often lies in one instruction obeyed or ignored. The Holy Spirit knows your future better than you know your past. When He speaks, He is not guessing—He’s guiding you according to the perfect will of the Father.

Avoid confusion by filtering every voice through the Word. The Spirit of God never contradicts Scripture. If what you sense doesn’t align with the Word of God, it’s not His voice. But when His Word in you agrees with His whisper within you, that’s divine confirmation.

The secret of success is to train your heart to listen and act immediately. The more you yield to His voice, the clearer it becomes. His voice will always lead you to truth, peace, and victory.

Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and speaks to me. My spirit is sensitive to His leading, and I recognize His voice clearly. I refuse confusion or distraction. I walk in accuracy, peace, and divine direction. Every decision I make is guided by the Holy Spirit, and I live daily in Your perfect will, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22)

Hearing the voice of God is not a mysterious or rare experience—it is the birthright of every believer who walks in relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ. The Lord is always speaking, whether through His Word, prayer, the Holy Spirit, or through His appointed servants. The key is keeping your spirit open and trained to listen.

Not hearing the voice of God can be very costly. Just imagine the difference it makes when the Creator of the universe personally guides every step of yours—you will never walk in darkness or confusion. You don’t have to learn everything through failure; rather, you can live as a shining example of God’s glory, wisdom, and direction.

In the end, it all comes down to your attention—how attentive you are to Him. His voice is always present, but are you listening? The time you have on this earth is limited. Choose to make the most of it by giving your attention to His voice and living in step with His guidance. There is no greater advantage in life than walking hand in hand with the voice of your Heavenly Father.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for always speaking to me and guiding me in all things. I yield my full attention to hear from You every day.Thank You for Your written Word—the Bible—which is the foundation of my life in Christ. I desire to hear more and more from You, and I open my spirit to receive Your voice with clarity and obedience. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. (Psalm 105:15)

As a Christian you must have great esteem and regard for God’s anointed men and women. The Bible says in 1 thessalonians 5:13 to “esteem them very highly in love”. When God puts you under the leadership of a man or woman of God, God gives them the responsibility to raise you, thus it’s important that you value them and their counsel.

Often times, you will find Christians criticising or judging ministers of God, that’s a wrong approach. You should never find yourself participating in such conversation. God’s anointed are God’s servants, thus it’s only God who has the authority over them. Romans 14:4 says; “Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand”(NIV). If you ever think that a certain man or woman of God is not walking right according to God’s Word, pray to God and don’t be a judge yourself. Let God deal with the matter after all He is their master.

Also, you must be careful about your access to a man or woman of God. If you have close access to God’s anointed, don’t ever take it lightly. If you are close to a Pastor, double up your walk of honour. You will see their weakness but never take it for granted. You will see faults but do not let it lead you into offence. Honour them because they are called by God, and that call is what sets them apart.

Some people never stopped seeing Jesus as the carpenter’s son, and that’s the reason they could never receive anything from Him. Rebecca accepted the priesthood of Isaac and her barrenness ended. Michal despised the priesthood of David and died a barren woman. Your approach towards the anointed one can make all the difference in your life.

Learn to follow the scriptures in your approach towards everything and don’t partake in the ways of the world.

Prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that is training me in right perspective towards every aspect of your kingdom. I receive corrections and edify my ways. I honour God’s anointed ones and refuse to judge them. I esteem them very highly for their work sake. In Jesus’s Name. Amen!
