Patience JohnsonThe church preach so much about power in the kingdom of God but we don't talk about wisdom. Everybody goes for power forgeting that power without wisdom can be disastrous.
About This Quote
Power in the kingdom of God is the biggest buzzword in church today. The idea that we can be powerful, wealthy and wise has become a big draw for many church-goers. I’m not saying that you should not pursue power in the kingdom of God; it’s crucial to who you are as a Christian. The problem lies in the people who are looking to become powerful without wisdom.
When you attempt to be powerful without wisdom, you can quickly turn into a tyrant. The reason why there are so many tyrants in this world is because you were powerless before but sought power, often through deception and lies.
