Let Wisdom Speak

¹ Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice?(Proverbs 8:1, New King James Version)

It's wisdom that makes people think of doing things together, just as in Genesis chapter 11. This shows that what-so ever we purpose in our hearts, we have the ability to carry it out. Men can purpose in their hearts to do things for example, many scientific and non-scientific inventions were brought about by a simple though in a man's heart. This, they further experimented upon and then the final products were made available for our understanding and enjoyment.

My prayer today is "may God help us to be able to make proper use of our talents to glorify God, and also for the goodness of our lives". There is hope for you today, to use your brain and your minds to go higher in Life.

There are two types of Wisdom that a man have access to:

1. Wisdom from above (God)

2. Wisdom from hell (Devil)

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. ¹⁶ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (James 3:13-20, New King James Version)

According to James 3: 13-20:

1. The Wisdom for excellence is from God.

2. The Wisdom to take you higher is from God.

Men who exhibited the Wisdom of God

There are many examples in the bible of men of old who exhibited the wisdom of God or who properly utilized the wisdom that God gave them.

1. Joshua

In Deuteronomy 34:9, the Bible made us to understand that Joshua needed wisdom because of where God was taking him to.

 ⁹ Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.  (Deuteronomy 34:9, New King James Version)

As a Child of God, you need to be full of Wisdom for you to succeed in your Ministry.

2. Noah - He received Wisdom to build an unsinkable ship.

3. Daniel - The spirit of Wisdom was upon Daniel and God made him ten times wiser and above his fellows.

4. Joseph - Though he never went to any school or had any scholastic degree, but because of God's wisdom operating in him, he was able to advice Kings, and even went on to become a Prime Minister in Egypt.

According to Pastor Kunle Daniel of the RCCG Open Heavens Dublin, you must know that God's wisdom is part of the package of being born again. Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour, you inherit the wisdom of God that comes with it. So if you want to move higher in life, you need to steer that Wisdom in your life.

How can you get Higher?

1. You need to be studious.

To get higher in life, you need to constantly Study the Word of God (Bible) and digest it, so that you can live by, and be strengthened by it.

2. You need to have the Power of the Word of God in your life, and this comes only from constant study of Gods words.

3. You need to Pray without ceasing. Prayer is the key to everything you need from God.
There are different types of Prayer.

• Prayer of inquiry. The Bible made us to understand that King David always seek God's face in prayers before he undertakes any ventures. (1 Sam 30:8)
• Prayer of supplication.
• Prayer for Spiritual Health.
• Prayer of the righteous
• Spoken prayer. etc.

4. You need to be focused. (Mathew 6:22)

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. (Matthew 6:22, New King James Version)"

5. Keep good Company. (proverbs 13:20)

Who are the people you move with? Remember that if you move with failure, you will surely fail. so the Bible wants you to know that:

" ²⁰ He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed. (Proverbs 13:20, New King James Version)"

6. You need to Encourage One another. Remember that "Iron sharpness Iron"

^"22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate; (Proverbs 22:22, New King James Version)"

7. You need to be a Giver.

To get higher in life, you need to be steadfast in your giving. Cultivate the habit of Giving to God. The life of Issac is a typical example.
While others were eating their seeds, Issac was planting and sowing seeds.

Issac was able to do this because God gave him Wisdom. So its up to you now to either utilize the GIFTS that God has given you and use that Wisdom to excel and take your life to the next level. Let Wisdom speak, and be ready to open up your heart to hear and obey.
