TOPIC: WISDOM
TEXT: MATT 7:24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
I welcome you brethren into the 'ember month, it is going to be an exciting month for us all as we start the month with wisdom series. I pray that God will give you divine understanding as you read through this month in Jesus Name Amen. First let’s introduce wisdom. Wisdom is locating God’s way of doing things. It is the applied knowledge of the truth gleaned from the Word of God. This is how Jesus defined wisdom in Matt 7: 24, it says
‘Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them. I will liken him unto a wise man; which built his house upon a rock”,
so wisdom is not common sense, but scriptural sense. It is not mere mental exertion or restricted to knowledge alone but doing the saying of God. It is making use of the word of God to produce profits in any given area of life. That is, doing things in God’s style. His approach and by His method. This is a better way of getting results and answers because God’s ways and thoughts are higher and better than man’s (Isiah 55:8-9).
There are certain scriptural demands, which are vital, many have ignored to their own hurt, but wisdom is doing then, for they are the happenings in one’s life. For example is what is written in Josh 1:8. Wisdom demands that you pay attention to the book of law-the Bible. It is in doing what the word commands that you can enjoy the benefits they delivered for example those which would be blessed are those who will do what is commanded in God’s word Ps 1:1-3. Divine wisdom is a product of faith because it is revealed. God’s wisdom is hidden, and packaged in mysteries that common sense cannot locate (1 Cor 2:7-10). Mk 4:11, Dan 2: 19). It takes a revelation by the spirit of God to locate divine wisdom. God’s word is His wisdom. To locate God’s word, which is the foundation of faith, you then express your faith in the word by putting it to work “doing these sayings of mine”. It is only after then that wisdom will deliver its products to you. God bless you.
