TEXT: COLOSSIANS 4:2-6
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
MEMORY VERSE: “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time” (COLOSSIANS 4:5).
MESSAGE:
Wisdom is a very important virtue which all Christians must possess. Christ is the wisdom of God. There should therefore be nothing like a foolish Christian. Walking in wisdom is a call to all Christians to know how to behave as they interact with believers and unbelievers in the society.
Read DCLM DAILY MANNA
God’s Word is a source of wisdom. “It is a fact that those whose lives are daily being conformed to the word and purposes of God will see issues more plainly,” said Malcolm Watts.
Christian youths should guard their salvation jealously to avoid backsliding. Youths in high schools and tertiary educational institutions should watch who they accept as friends; take note, sudden friends lead to regrets. Some youths are lured into cults and wicked gangs for not walking wisely.

The starting point of walking in wisdom is making Christ your Lord and Saviour. It is also wisdom to change the lives of sinning youths in your locality through evangelism.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
