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.

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
