Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. (Job 23:12)
🌻Necessity is the state or fact of being required. In everyday language, a requirement can refer to something that is necessary or essential for a particular purpose.
🌻 In economics, Necessity goods are product(s) and services that consumers will buy regardless of the changes in their income levels. eg Salt. whether the price of salt doubles, people will still buy it.
🌻What makes something a requirement?? or A necessity?
Laws or Nature
🌻By Law, or regulatory context, a requirement may refer to a mandatory condition or stipulation that must be met. Failure to comply with such requirements can result in legal consequences. eg The government can say every person above 18 should pay tax
🌻By Nature, requirements are present because of who we are. Eg nature dictates that for you to live, you must eat and oxygen is a requirement for human survival; it is a basic necessity. Yet for plants,
🌻When we gave our lives to Christ, we recieved a new nature. The old nature was gone and there are laws that this new nature follows just like the old nature has its laws.
and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him (Col 3: 10)
🌻The old nature requires food to grow and keep alive, this NEW NATURE requires knowledge as we see in the scripture above. That is why Job says that he desired God's word more than necesssary food because it crries life to whoever understands it.
🌻In Psalms, the word of God as a law carries a promise for converting the soul and making the simple wise. The word of God facilitates this process of growth from a simple man to a grown man this case a wise man.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. (Psa )
🌻What is this Wisdom?
No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. ( 1 Cor 2:7)
🌻This wisdom of God is hidden and it was hidden from the princes of the world. But it is revealed to us that even what the best of the world cant see or hear or understand, we have the ability to access.
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. ( 1 Cor 2:7)
🌻The wisdom of God turns on the spiritual Antennas so we are able to see, hear and think far than those of this world.
A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; The simple pass on and are punished. (Prov 27:12)
🌻The word of Lord carries the power to open blind eyes, break the chains and above all make a simple man wise.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord. (Luke 4:18 -19)
