THINK WISDOM – THE WISDOM OF GOD FOR LIVING: WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
“. . . 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.
Am emboldened to inform you, that you can’t be able to ENACT and APPROPRIATE SCRIPTURALLY by God’s WISDOM what you don’t KNOW and UNDERSTAND in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, THINK WISDOM, in Christ Jesus stead. For He’s the WISDOM of God as He’s the POWER of God. Otherwise, it’s religion, denominational concepts and ideas, man-made belief, religious dogmas and traditional creeds, leading to doctrinal mishap and bondages, adulteration and confusion.
Wisdom is the principal enabling of God’s grace to do life in the New Creation, otherwise you will do life through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, which is exhausting, tiring and weakening. The wisdom of God – gives life, empowers, it defences, gives direction, it emboldens, it illuminates and it discerns to ensure the sixth sense makes scriptural judgement.
“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12.
“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET WISDOM: and with all thy getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7.
“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both time and judgment” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5.
And if any lacks wisdom, know there’s an opportunity to ask of God who gives to all generously without a shadow of doubting and disputation. Wisdom makes doing life and living godly not only easier and calmer, and more peaceful but without sweat and stress in the grace.
“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. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James 1:5-8.
The value of wisdom is more known and appreciated when the bill of ignorance and stupidity and foolishness hit you – and don’t wait for it to happen because you may likely not recover from it and or have the opportunity to make amends. God abhors ignorance and ignorant person or people. Hence, He said His people have gone into captivity, bondages and are being destroyed for the lack of knowledge – for wisdom is the application of knowledge.
“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO PRIEST to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.
“Therefore my people are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their multitude DRIED UP with thirst. 14 Therefore HELL hath ENLARGED herself, and OPENED her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.
“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men everywhere to REPENT: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-3.
Therefore, think wisdom – the wisdom of God for living, for wisdom is the application of knowledge for your effectual and meaningful cause in the Kingdom, as you do life and live godly, in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE & THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the WISDOM OF THE WISE and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM OF GOD the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with ENTICING WORDS OF MAN’S WISDOM, but in demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER: 5 that your FAITH should not STAND in the WISDOM OF MEN, but in the POWER of God. 6 Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the WISDOM OF THIS WORLD, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM OF GOD in a mystery, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which MAN’S WISDOM teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST”. 1 Corinthians 2:1-16.
