November 2015 Message - Divine Wisdom

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. - Proverbs 4:7

The LORD Himself says wisdom is the most important thing anyone can have in life. He even advised us to ask for wisdom in our prayer and promised to give us wisdom as much as we want. 

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. - James 1:5

Everyone that wish to succeed in life and live a life of peace and prosperity must seek Godly wisdom.You cannot live on acquired wisdom alone.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercyand good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. - James 3:17

To enjoy divine wisdom the following principles must be adhered to:

• Walking in the fear of God i.e obeying God's commandment and avoiding that which is evil. 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. - Proverbs 9:10 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a goodunderstanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. - Psalm 111:10

• Walking with the wise i.e those that fear the LORD and obey HIS commandments.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. -Proverbs 13:20

• Seek for impartation  of wisdom carefully from anointed servants of God.

And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses. - Deuteronomy 34:9

• Prayerfully ask God for wisdom in faith. 

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, thatgiveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. - James 1:5-6

Beloved as we prepare to enter into the new year, this is the right time to begin to seek God's wisdom. With divine wisdom all other things will answer to us.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the manthat getteth understanding.For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left handriches and honour. - Proverbs 3: 13-16 

Shalom!
