The God kind of Wisdom...
Shalom to all, I hope you guys are doing great today by God's grace. I want to present to you a teaching this morning entitled : The God kind of wisdom. The reason why I want to shared this is because we have misunderstood what the wisdom of God is and we replaced that true with what WE assume to be His wisdom. So, my goal is to explain what Paul the apostle understood about it in his life and ministry on Earth. I Hope after reading this message, you will know and accept His wisdom to be standard through which you live, act and handle situations of life.
“For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;But unto those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God(…) But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. I Corinthians 1:21-30
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (…) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” I Corinthians 2:1-5
According to what the Apostle Paul expounds as the wisdom of God, it is the intelligence of God relating to His plan; the way He perceives and knows us. The gold standard of God’s wisdom received within God’s wisdom reveals the way we are to approach the world in presenting Christ in a pluralistic society. In the presentation of the wisdom of God, people come into confrontation with this wisdom with their own form of wisdom.
The wisdom of God and the power of God is Christ and Him crucified. God veils His strength in what people call weak and veils His wisdom in what people call foolish so that there is nothing that anyone can accomplish to fulfill His wisdom and none can glory by means of his/her own self.
The wisdom of God is the testimony of God which perceives humanity through the finality of the cross. The testimony of God is God’s statement concerning humanity that has justified humanity. Here are three aspects of God's wisdom we all need to know and understand:
The first aspect of the wisdom of God is the revelation of our righteousness and perfection, not as a requirement but as already true concerning us.
The second aspect is the revelation of what God has completed and prepared for us.
The third aspect is the knowledge of all that has been freely given.
Another aspect of the wisdom of God in each one of us is the ability to judge all teachings whether they are human or divine because we have the criteria of His standard of wisdom. I hope and strongly believe that after reading this teaching, you will exhibit God's wisdom effortlessly in love by His grace in you. Be blessed and remain focus in Him!

I disagree on the subject matter of the letter, and the teaching of wisdom in these verses.
The wisdom of God is the wisdoms that only true Christians may have and it entails, for instance:
You know these things pretty well, when you are Christian, otherwise you would call these ideas madness. The the wisdom without God, is far away from Jesus, virtue, and spirit.
And you know you need not read books and study hard to learn and accept these things, such as philosophers or scientifics, who are taught on these matters by the very devil, and become their children. You know these children who would say you should seek pleasure, you should love only if you are loves (otherwise you don't love yourself), you should accept yourself, there is no such a thing as the truth (as everyone has their own understanding of truth).
What you need to know is that God Himself makes you aware of the truth by His own blessing, and not but your own making.
Colossians 1:12 We have access in the light. You are bless as you expose yourself to a greater degree of light. I honor the Christ in you.
Much love @evangelio

I read it. No worries. I followed and upvoted.
Thank you again, Pastorlea. I just resteemed and upvoted. God's foolishness is greater than man's wisdom. People think they are so clever when they try come up with ways of being progressive and humanitarian, when in fact it leads them into greater "freedom" of all kinds of sin--which is in fact, slavery. Thanks be to God, who set us free through Jesus Christ. We are free to do the things we love as Christians because we are given a new set of affections and desires when we're born again!
Love you dearly @mattphilleo. You are a faithfull servant of our Lord Jesus and His kingdom. You understood about His wisdom... Many people are trying to be wise without the word of the Lord and they end up taking advantage of others; but God's wisdom doesn't take advantage of anyone, His wisdom empowers people and helps them be the best of themselves because He cares about us and every details of our lives. I always have you in my prayers daily! Keep enjoy the posts and resteem, let's reach nations together
Nice exposition, I went through your post and its nice and above all the truth. I'll encourage you to post more, your job is not just ordinary but a witness of truth, so go on and on irrespective of people voting or not, the important thing is that your faith is shared which is your ministry of reconciling men to God through the finished work of his dear son. I'am a kind of person that love truth but am not a religious man, I don't belong to any religion of the world, and I mostly opposes any form of ill-truth about the supreme creator, the Almighty and his Christ.
great comment. I appreciate the fact that you went through the post. I hope you will see more and Follow - Comment - Resteem - upvote . You are blessed dear brother. Love you in Christ
