KNOWLEDGE THE ROOT OF WISDOM

 

Ever wondered why sometimes the bible uses knowledge and wisdom interchangeably? Ever wondered why there are so many people who have knowlede but act so unwisely? Have you ever wondered why God made some teenagers kings over adults in the old? The answer to all these is simple.

Knowledge is the precursor to wisdom. Knowlegde is information given but the application of that knowledge is wisdom. Therefore, wisdom is the ability to apply knowlegde.

 

*Now tell me, if you haven't taken time to study, how in the world do you think you will be wise since wisdom is a product of knowlegde?*

 

Proverbs 19:2 says "Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good" wonder why it says so? The answer is simple, a soul without knowlegde is potentially a soul without wisdom. We must educate ourselves in the word of God so that we do not live as unwise.

 

There is one thing hurdle left to cross after acquiring knowldge. This is the ability to apply it which becomes wisdom like we saw earlier on. Ever wondered why you make the same mistakes over and over again? For example a young woman getting in and out of abusive relationships all the times, or a young man who is perpetually without a savings for the future though he has a job or why a married man/woman will commit adultery though he/she sees others been exposed on a daily basis? They all have a good knowledge about the situation they face but the ability to convert that knowledge into wisdom is lacking. Therefore, everytime they think they've figured a way out, they find themselves deeper in their mess than before.

 

The answer is simple. Proverbs 9:10"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom..." It is clear that knowledge alone does not get the job done unless the fear of the Lord comes into a person's heart. This fear comes only when there is a knowledge of Him. If you don't know Him, you can't fear Him. Did you notice it says "the begining" meaning as a person continues to grow in knowlegde wisdom will continue to grow.

 

This is possible at any age or level in life. This is the reason why God used teenagers in the old to be kings because they applied themselves to knowledge. Knowlege is a beautiful thing Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding".

 

What are you struggling with today? The solution is right here. If you will choose to know God and fear Him, wisdom will be accorded you for every situtation you are dealing with. Guess what? You are already half way to making it because all that you just read is the information(knowledge) you need. Now can you apply this knowldge to become wisdom for you. Don't stay in that situation one more minute because help is right here. Just ask God to put His fear in your heart and watch Him bring out wisdom in you.

God bless

Divine Favour

Good day everyone

The bible tells us that "the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and added no sorrow" Proverbs 10:22, God blesses us through divine favour, our blessings is connected to someone else and someone else's blessings is connected to us.  Always have a positive heart of giving because you never know if that is where your breakthrough is coming from.

Read:
Gen 26:12-13
Psalms 1
Psalm 41


Prayer Points for today should be :

no more financial breakdown only financial breakthrough
no more financial poverty only financial prosperity

Have a blessed day

God is working on our behalf...

There are times we go through things and we feel alone.  But we ought to always search the word of God and find encouragement in it.  For where the word of God is, God is there also.  The bible says in John 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.".  He is his word, when you proclaim it in your life he will work wonders for you. 

Read Nahum chapter 1 and be encouraged today.

Its a new day :-)

Love will.............................

• Work hard for you…. Genesis 29:20So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days

• Protect you……Proverbs 10:12Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs

• Show you…….1 John 3:18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.  

• Take away your fears…….1 John 4:18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love

How wonderful is this……Love is a beautiful thing.

Hello!!!

Please feel free to share any experiences you may have with each post and lets' discuss.

Thanks!

Relationships

So in everything we do we are urged to use wisdom.

So how about in our relationships?  We tend to use our hearts and put wisdom in the back burner. 

In all honesty we should use wisdom as the front runner and our hearts at the back burner.  Wisdom allows us to build healthier and successful relationships.

The bible says in Proverbs 12:26 “The righteous should choose his friends carefully, the way of the wicked leads them astray".  This is important in our relationships, we have to make our choices based on where we are going.  We can't be carried away by feelings, or love, or material things, or how the person looks. For the bible says "Can two walk except they agree?" Amos 3:3

It is only after we have gotten into the relationship and gotten to the point of marriage and even having children that we realize that the person we are partnered with are going in two different directions.

May we always use wisdom to identify the right person for us to partner with in our life journey.

The Importance of Wisdom

How important is "Wisdom" to you and I?

We need wisdom in our everyday lives.  Wisdom comes from God and we can find it in his word ("For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding".  Proverbs 2:6).

Wisdom can help us make the right decisions, when you have wisdom you have knowledge and you have understanding.

The bible tells us "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you" James 1:5).  We shouldn't hesitate to always take time and ask God for wisdom each and everyday.  He will give it us according to his word GENEROUSLY.  We are also reminded  to:

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
   fear the LORD and shun evil."    Proverbs 2:5-7

Those are words to the wise.  Wisdom can change everything about our lives, it can begin to make things work well for you and I, if only we can ask God for it.

Let's start today to seek the wisdom of God in all that we do, Wisdom is calling...will you answer?

Welcome!

Hello!  Thank you for visiting my blog.  This blog is created to share wisdom with each other, in ways that call help one and other in our everyday lives through biblical principles.  Enjoy it and God bless.
