APRIL-The month I become wiser. Prov 8:14-
Welcome to the wisdom month,
and a wiser quarter.
The Bible tells us all the
things that wisdom can do in Prov 8:14-36. All through the bible we see the
power of wisdom and ultimately we know Christ is wisdom personified. Wisdom is
so important that Solomon in his book of proverbs chapter 4:7 declares
'...wisdom is the principal thing...get wisdom...' You therefore might ask
yourself, why is wisdom so important and what is wisdom.
Simply
put Wisdom is the application of knowledge. And wisdom is the main thing. A
teacher of wisdom compares wisdom to a core subject in the University. He says
if you don't pass that subject, even if you passed all the other minor subjects,
you are not moving ahead. So Wisdom is able to determine your destiny.
The wisdom we talk about is
different from every other wisdom. There are different kinds of wisdom(James 3:13-17-
1. Earthly and sensual wisdom.
It is common sense at best.
2. Intellectual wisdom. Your
collation of degrees and educational certificates give you this kind.
3. Diabolical wisdom-Cults,
wicked spirits etc will give you this.
4. Wisdom from above. This is
it. Only from God. It is the wisdom from above. The bible tells us in John
3:31...He who comes from above is above
all, he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes
from heaven is above all'. This wisdom is from above.
In James 3:17 the bible says
the wisdom that is from above is pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to
yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Yes, that is wisdom from above. We know that every good gift and perfect gift
comes from above. James 1:17
This
wisdom makes you stand above all. It makes you stand above life challenges, circumstances
and issues. Our glory is hidden in this wisdom. This kind of wisdom is found in
Joseph. A prisoner that understood the dream of the most powerful king on earth
at the time(Pharaoh), and prescribed the solution. One thing is to know a
dream, interpreted it, another is to give meaning and solution to it. Joseph applied
the knowledge to solve the King's problem. Pharaoh exclaimed: Gen 41:39...In as much as God has shown you all this,
there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall rule over my house,
and all my people shall be ruled according to your word....' What a result
for application of knowledge. I decree such wisdom for you this month in Jesus
Name. Amen.
Solomon
is also a great example. In 1Kings 3 he asked God to grant him wisdom to rule.
And God gave him such wisdom. The bible tells us of him later in 1Kings 4:21...So Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from
River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They
brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life. This kind of
wisdom bring you into honour, and people will desire to serve you. Receive this
virtue in Jesus Name. Amen. Solomon had wisdom for life. You too can have
wisdom for life.
