THE FORCE OF WISDOM

As a believer, you have a mighty resource at your disposal – the wisdom of God. This wisdom not only can help you make good decisions in your life, but God’s Word promises that it brings joy, long life, riches, and honor (Prov. 3:13-18). King Solomon advises us to make Godly wisdom the principal thing (Prov. 4:7) What does that mean? It means we should make seeing wisdom from the Word of God priority.

Every believer has the right to access the blessings of God. He doesn’t give wisdom to some and not to others, He doesn’t withhold any good thing from His people. Wisdom and prosperity go hand in hand. Everyone who wants to enjoy prosperity needs to seek for wisdom instead of silver and gold.

Most times, our superiors tell us words like “You should know better” Thankfully, that is not something you will ever hear from God when you ask for wisdom. If you are facing a decision or are questioning how to handle a situation, God will not respond with an eye roll and shake His head. He will not get angry about that because, His Word promises that if you ask for wisdom He’ll give it to you (James 1:5).

Confession: The Spirit of truth abides in me and He teaches me all things. He guides me into all truths, therefore I confess I have perfect wisdom for every situation, every circumstance I come up against. For I have the wisdom of God now.

Further Reading: 1 Kings 3:12 (ESV) “Behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.”2 Chron 9:22-23 (ESV) “Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.”

Read through The Bible: 1 Chronicles 13-14 and James 1
