TOPIC: WHAT IS WISDOM?
TEXT: JAMES 3:17: 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.
Brethren of a truth, we hear a lot of talk about wisdom both in the world and from scriptures. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as. “ Understanding of what is true right, or lasting, insight, common sense, good judgement, the sum of scholarly learning through the ages, knowledge, wise teachings of the ancient sages, a wise outlook, plan or course of action. The Bible also describes different kinds of wisdom in James 3:15, 17 “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly sensual, devilish…….”But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, than peaceable, gentle, and easy to be inhaled….” There is the earth by wisdom, the sensual, devilish and divine wisdom, (wisdom from above).
Earthly, wisdom is the wisdom of this world, common sense or natural wisdom, sensual wisdom is men’s wisdom, and it centers on the senses. It is basically all about intellectual wisdom and stop at book knowledge. Devilish or diabolical wisdom operates in the occult realm, it is the wisdom of the princes of this world, that is satanic wisdom. It involves the manipulation of the mind through satanic influences. But divine wisdom on the other hand, is wisdom. Paul the apostle by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said that all the wisdom of this world and devilish wisdoms equals zero when compared with the inexhaustible virtues of the wisdom of God. This wisdom is available to all and sundry via salvation, unlike in occultic circles where there various degrees of knowledge per time, and the things that are done are largely shouldered in mysteries. God bless you.
