The correct application of knowledge acquired is wisdom. Knowledge is power if and only it is applied correctly and accordingly. What is the essence of knowing what is right to do to emerge successful in life without actually carrying out the act? It is like a student, preparing for an exam who after being told of areas where he or she should expect questions from, but failed to concentrate his or her readings in such areas. You already know the result of such students from the on set.
The scripture in Proverbs 4:7 confirms the awesomeness of wisdom; "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and in all thy getting, get understanding." It follows that with wisdom, you are made for life. It is one thing to know that a particular acts is sinful or inimical to your health, but it takes godly wisdom to abstain from such acts. Why do we see people despite their educational backgrounds still indulge themselves in things which they know will kill them or mar their reputation? It's because they are not wise enough to abstain or resist such temptation.
No wonder why little King Solomon ask God for wisdom when ask to make a request. He knew that when he has wisdom, he has all. It takes wisdom to exude excellent spirit in all your dealings like Daniel in Daniel 6:3 "Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm."
it takes wisdom to mesmerize and subdue your enemies like David in 1st Samuel 18:14 "And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him." And it takes wisdom to flee from all appearance of evil like Joseph in Genesis 39:12 "And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out." The bottom line of this is to fear God because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Are u a student who desire all round success in your cause of study, it is wisdom to study wide and burn the mid night candle. Are you young and possess entrepreneurial skills, it is wisdom that you start that project with what you have at the moment, don't wait till you have the full capital to start-up, every great things start little. Are you a young man or a lady looking for the right partner? It is wisdom you make yourself available in a holy gathering where you can find and meet such right partner.
The beauty of this is that our God is a generous God who knows how to give good and perfect gift to his children if only we ask with the correct motives; his he bid us in James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
Here is another opportunity for you to ask for wisdom, and it shall be given to you accordingly. Come and celebrate with us tomorrow at Prayer City, a programme for single and married, from 8:00am prompt. See you at the top!
Prayer:
Abba Father, baptise my life with divine wisdom from on high in the name of Jesus
