Wisdom Primary Requirement


If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Ecclesiastes 10:10. 

The more we conform to earthly things, the more we loose touch with divinity. Then we blunt that needs sharpening.
Things may not seem to be working, after trying all avenue. But, have you tried wisdom? The above text says, "wisdom is profitable to direct" that means it can direct our steps into the right path of life.
How do we get this wisdom? 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." 
It means, God is the giver of wisdom, and he gives whomever ask of him. Have you ask him? 

God gives us wisdom through his Word. Example, He said, in Matthew 6:33, 
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Unfortunately, people want it the other way around by making the first last, and the last, first.
The Bible says in Proverbs 23:4, 
"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom." 
His wisdom is, kingdom first, then things will be additions, but we seek our own wisdom by putting things first. Then we keep asking the question, how did things got this bad? Or why are things not working?

Proverbs 4:7 says, 
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
There are three basic requirements to succeed in life, of which wisdom is the primary, the rest are; understanding and knowledge. But, man turn this backward again. By making knowledge first, understanding second, and in most cases there is no room for wisdom. They assume once you have knowledge and understanding, it's equally wisdom. No! Each have their place.
Proverbs 24:3-4 differentiate their offices/functions,
"Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: And by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches." this is clear in it context, if you meditate on it, you will get the clearer picture.

If the Holy Bible says, Wisdom is the primary requirement, IT IS! 
Doing anything outside of it, will bring frustration.
Moreover, "... unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER OF GOD, and the WISDOM OF GOD." 1 Corinthians 1:24. Wisdom speaking in Proverbs 8:18 says, "By me kings reign, and prince's decree justice." 

Have a wisdom-full week!

Jesus is Lord!

Mark E. Airononi

Scriptural reading: Job 28 and Proverbs 8.

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Money truce.

People make reference that "The Bible says money is the root of all  evil...." The Bible didn't say that at all. The Bible says, "For the LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil" (1Tim.6:10). You could be guilty of that sin and not have a dime. It's not wrong to have money; it's wrong for money to have you. #prosperityreality

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
