SCRIPTURE: But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 1Cor. 1:30
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY:
To be wise is to be eminent. WISDOM shapes your view over things, it is a Principal tool for SUCCESS.
Pro.4:7 says; WISDOM is the Principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
Existence in wisdom, is one of the indispensable key of Great Success.
We didn’t receive the ‘Gift of Wisdom’, we received the ‘Person(Spirit) of WISDOM’, because we are born of Him (God). James 1:18.
Wisdom scrutinizes every knowledge you receive and gives you a deep and vast understanding and knowledge over things.
Wisdom determines your reaction to matters.
1Kings 4:29 says God gave King Solomon “WISDOM and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore”.
You must understand that having WISDOM is a sure way to be SUCCESSFUL in life. If you are Wise, you must end up being prominent and favoured.
2Chron. 9:22-24 says; King Solomon was richer and wiser than any other king in the world.
23 They all consulted him, to hear the wisdom that God had given him.
24 Each of them brought Solomon gifts—articles of silver and gold, robes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. This continued year after year.
In all this Wisdom, what Solomon had was just the ‘Gift of Wisdom’ and he was this great.
Matt.12.42 – The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and ‘Indeed a greater than Solomon is here.’
Jesus did not just have the ‘Gift of Wisdom’, He had the ‘Person of Wisdom’. Solomon’s wisdom was just a proportion of Jesus wisdom.
Now Christ has become our Wisdom, so we don’t just have the ‘Gift of Wisdom’ but the ‘Person of Wisdom’.
1Cor.1.30 – But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom…
REALITY:
(I) Wisdom empowers and shapes understanding. The measure of your understanding is determined by the level of wisdom in you.
REMEMBER:
Existence in wisdom, is an indispensable key of Great Success.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Devote your time for studying the scripture.
When the Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him a question, He replied; “Have you not read”. Matt 29:4.
