5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
What do you want out of life?
The Promise of Power of Kingdom Wisdom is needed today more than ever.
As we continue our journey through the Bible exploring God’s promises.
I am reminded of a saying from a Bible scholar Derek Prince under the covenant the people of God were lead to the promise land by Joshua; however the people never took full advantage of the land.
Likewise under the new covenant the people were lead to a land (kingdom) of promises by Jesus and we still are not taking full advantage the promises.
My prayer is that we be good stewards and take advantage of the great and precious promises that was given to us through Christ, Jesus. 1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Why was Solomon considered the wisest person?
Solomon was considered Asked for wisdom and discernment-Because of this he was imparted a Spirit of wisdom and consider the most wisest person. 1 Kings 3:10-12
10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
What do we begin when to become people that are partake rs of the great and precious promise of wisdom?( Wise dominion)
The fear (reverence) of LORD is the beginning Prov 1:7
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
What does wisdom mean?
To Knowledge= Information, Understanding = Comprehension, Wisdom = Application.
Wisdom is valuable because it help us to apply God’s principles to our life.
I seen doctor the knowledge and understand the dangers of smoking, yet they still have the habit or stronghold of smoking.
Wisdom helps us to break strongholds.
If we honest there are area in each of our life that we need apply Kingdom wisdom. ( wisdom is a tree of life that bring great joy to those that value her)
The Value of wisdom: Prov 3: 13-18
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, And the gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: And all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; And in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.
Why - We need wisdom for everything we think, say, and do
Wisdom is for today_ now
Pray for wisdom to apply God’s word
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
God wisdom are unsearchable and his judgements are past finding out. There is no way man can get God’s wisdom and knowledge through human resources alone.
George Washington Carver — often meditated asked God to reveal to Him thing about nature_ As a result the agricultural chemist who discovered 300 uses for peanuts as well as hundreds of uses for other crops.
Where does wisdom come from?
We need Wisdom! One of the greatest need is wisdom_ Rom 16:27
27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: For wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings, and setteth up kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, And knowledge to them that know understanding:
12 But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? 13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
Has anybody ever said if I know then what I now?
Benefit of talking to a wise person you get the benefits of their knowledge.
Wisdom make even bad thing work for the good of those that are by God’s Kingdom purpose.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
We do not see everything that why we need God’s wisdom.
How to Know who is wise?
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
What the different types of wisdom?
Earthly, sensual, and devilish
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Wisdom from above: How does God confirms our decision making and choices?
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against the Lord.
Meditate on Book of proverbs is a best way to get the Spirit of wisdom imparted into you life. The Book is a Father talking to his children.
