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.

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

The Guide

"And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him." - 1 Sam. 16:6 Looks, words, even principles can be deceptive, but God sees the heart of man and knows the thoughts and intent of the heart. Don't be deceived by fare speeches; look up to God who can reveal the truth behind every speech or statement as the case may be, and in every situation, job, friendship, businesses, investments etc. Only He knows, He alone can guide us successfully. 1 Sam. 16:7, says "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." He led Samuel; if you look on Him, He will guide you into all truth. His ways are paths of peace and joy. Enahoro Airononi #hedgersarmy, #faith, #light, #purpose, #revival, #redemption, #rede...

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...
