THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
Hello friends, good to have you again to my blog, one thing that I must assure you is that there is no way you can visit my blog post and go away without something, why? Not because I am the best writer or the best educationist, it is so because of one thing! I'm not trying to let you see me rather I'm trying to have a conversation with you as a friend in the things that concerns the kingdom of our great God. As for myself; there is nothing good to talk about, it's no longer about me but about him that have apprehended me. Today I want us to look at the kind of wisdom that is applicable in our relationship with our father in heaven.
WHAT IS WISDOM??
According to A-z English dictionary:
wisdom is accumulated knowledge or erudition or enlightenment; Wisdom [a.]: The quality of being wise; knowledge, and the capacity to make due use of it; knowledge of the best ends and the best means; discernment and judgment; discretion; sagacity; skill; dexterity.
I think that's a good definition of wisdom; being able to understand trends and signals that life and evolution throws on us and the ability to position ourselves as necessary so that we don't become obsolete, that's wisdom.
A friend of mine on steemit sent me a private chat in which she tried to commend my blog posts and as well advice me to write on other topics instead of delighting on gospels alone. She has some points in what she said, but life is all about choices, we have reason behind any choice we make today.
THEN WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND THIS WISDOM RELATED POST??
Sometime around 2009 Bitcoin was introduced by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto, many who foresaw the future and bought from his idea took the risk of investing into Bitcoin's blockchain, many gave up and many considered it a waste of time, while others tamed it fraud.
Today we can comfortably say that those who invested on Bitcoin then were wise because beyond every groomed darkness surrounding Bitcoin then, they applied wisdom by investing on it.
What am I saying, I'm trying to use earthly story to convey the spiritual matters across, wisdom of this life is totally different from the wisdom of God, with wisdom of this age; man has come up with many inventions through science and technology, and today we have many professionals in different areas of life, do we appreciate their efforts? Yes absolutely. Do we need them? Yes of course! Because they are the embodiment of earthly wisdom, most times we do hear them coming up with so many encouraging and motivational words on how to become better in life. (Motivational talks)
UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCE OF WISDOM
Many have argued much on where the wisdom and knowledge that men applies today's comes from; from God or from where?
Yes, whatever we are today was allowed by God, he created man and gave man an instruction on how to live, but man rather listened to the enemy instead of God, most of us who believe in nature and the story of bible can identify with this popular story in Genesis 2 and 3.
The knowledge of good and evil that we operate from today is a product of disobedience to God's word which is why man has developed so many "good things of life" and so many "evil things of life" that are traits to human existence, all this came around because man listened to Satan who advised them to go contrary to God's word so that they can become like God.
THE WISDOM THAT GOD HAS REGARDS TO
We are being shortchanged anytime we fail to understand the limitations of man's wisdom which is why we oftentimes quick to attribute them to God, let me remind us that the wisdom of this life remains the reason why many has denied the existence of God almighty, many doesn't believe there is God because they've used their common sense and wisdom from science and technology to judge what many are saying about God, and when they consider what their wisdom and knowledge has achieved for mankind, then they conclude that there is nothing like God, maybe in one of posts I'll throw more light in that English word called "God" to clear some misconceptions.
Any wisdom that would not lead any man to consider God is not the wisdom that God regards!
God expects that all men should come to his own wisdom which is the only basis for his judgment and reward on the last day.
WHAT IS GODS OWN WISDOM??
The wisdom of God is deposited in his only begotten son Jesus, the wisdom of king Solomon is nothing at all to compare to the wisdom that God has given to everyone who believe or yet to believe in Christ the messiah.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here (Christ)
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: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
Luke 11:31, 1 Corinthians 2:6-7
WHAT THE WISDOM OF GOD SAYS ABOUT THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men..
1 Corinthians 3:18-21
IN CONCLUSION:
The big questions
Which wisdom are you promoting and glorifying??
Which wisdom are you applying in your understanding of God and his kingdom??
Are you able to draw a line between worldly and divine wisdoms??
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
2 Corinthians 1:12-13
