WISDOM TALK
When wisdom talk, people listen but when there is vain babbling people murmur and grumble. There is contention when you blab.
Wisdom is an authority with which vain talks and opinion are subjected to. Opinion gives way to wisdom. Now wisdom is a personality that emanates from the knowledge of God.
Just as goodness and mercy are persons (personalities) which David prayed and declared shall follow him all the days of his life, wisdom is a personality without whom nothing exist. Wisdom envelops the power of the word of God.
The application of the word of God is not possible without wisdom. A city is ruled by wisdom, the tongue is tamed by wisdom. Wisdom is profitable to direct, without wisdom, leadership becomes oppressively inclined. Where there is no wisdom, people struggle to lead and be led.
Now the wisdom of God is at enmity with the world. The bible says when men say there’s a cast down; you’ll say there’s a lifting up. God works contrary to mans ways, God has in his wisdom concealed the success of life to the seemingly foolish things. The way up is down:-this means humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and he will lift you up.
Growing: Before God a growth comes after you die, this might sound funny and stupid but believe it dear, this is one of the awesome wisdom of God. Remember the passage of scripture that says “except a seed falls into the ground and DIES, it abides (grow) not”
It is an eternal irony that Gods way of increasing his children is tied to their willingness to die to self.
Look at human anatomy closely and discover the wisdom of God displayed in the human dentition, I asked a little boy (4yrs) what’s wrong with your teeth, how come they are falling off? His reply was dazzling, he said uncle its good, let it break and grow.
Now, God hit me hard with that revelation of BREAK &GROW. To grow, God will break up so that we can grow to stronger and higher heights.
Friends, whatever you are going through right now will make sense the moment you understand the wisdom of break and grow.
Finally, James 1:2 says, count it all joy when you are tempted (v3 says) knowing that the trial of your faith workout patience; this means that patience is developed in trials.ca you imagine that? The salvation God offers us is tied to the death of his son (Jesus) on the cross. God will not achieve anything the way the human mind will expect.1corth:1:18 says the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us being saved, it’s the power of God unto salvation .in fact a clear indication that God is present in your situation is trial, opposition and such that seek to keep you down or discourage you from moving forward .there’s no victory without a fight, no faith where there are no challenges.
Psalm 23 declares that though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death......I strongly believe that it is God desire that his children should walk through all their valleys. It’s only within such situations that the awesomeness and might of God will be known. the bible says be still and know that he is God, I believe that Christians that run away from trials and afflictions never have opportunity to be still and see the awesome hand of God in their affairs. You gain is in that pain.
Let e remind you of the wilderness experience when water came out of the rock, it is easy to forget the various things that make that text significant. From that passage, you’ll notice that for water to come out of a rock, there must be a wilderness were you have rocks and the value of water will be easily understood, with the sun burning so high, one will not find it hard to appreciate the value of water. God will set a perfect stage to make every gift that comes from him to you count. (Note that the darker the night the brighter) the light. Your God will come through for you if only you hang in there; stop grumbling for in quietness is your strength. Although the bible completes that verse with “you will not”, I’ll love to believe you’ll make an exception haven read this piece. The bible equally says the promises of God are sure, although it tarries, it shall surely come.
Now this is my prayer for you going through tough time ,may God bless and keep you, may the lord cause his face to shine upon you; and may strength and faith be multiplied unto you as you wait for Gods intervention in your life .remember, you’ll win if you don’t quit.
