THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM (2)

Ephesians 1:17






Last week, I showed you how a man can contact the spirit of wisdom. Today I want to conclude by showing you some other channels through which this spirit can be contacted.






Respect and admiration


Anybody that you respect and admire, whatever is working in their lives will flow towards you in a measure. You cannot partake of the gift of a man without partaking in the spirit operating in him.






Study of God’s word: 2Tim. 4:15-17


Paul the Apostle wrote to Timothy in the passage above that knowledge of God’s word has a capacity to make a man wise unto salvation. This mean as you sit down to study the scriptures, a measure of God’s wisdom will rest upon you.






Prayer: James 1:5-8, Psalm 72


David the king prayed on behalf of Solomon that the Lord will give him wisdom; you can see the result in Solomon’s life. Paul also prayed for the Ephesian Church that the Lord will give them the sprit of wisdom. If you are born again, you can ask the Lord for it and the Lord will release it to you liberally.






After you have received the spirit of wisdom, it is your responsibility to keep it and make it more and more prevalent in your affairs. Do not let it lie dormant; Paul admonished the Corinthian church not to receive the grace of God in vain. You must exercise it to make it stronger in your life.






Steps to Strengthening the Spirit of Wisdom (Isa. 35:1-10)






The spirit of wisdom in you can be strengthened and can be damaged. The more it is strengthened the more it manifests in your life. The following are some of the ways by which you can strengthen this spirit for effectiveness in your journey and assignment in life.






1. Increase the intake of God’s word Ps. 119:97-99


Any member of the kingdom that is practicing the word will be a leader anywhere. When you study God’s word, you must look for commandments to obey, instructions to obey – you must have a strong respect for God’s instructions. You must look for the testimonies of God and His judgments. Get anointed messages, different translations of the Bible and anointed books. Your results will be different in life.






2. Train yourself to think, observe, look, listen carefully and closely to words, study things. Don’t just let things be swiped under the carpet; seek to know why? (Is. 41:20).






3. Intentionally associate with the wise


Listen to their messages or words, attend their meetings, and learn to ask practical questions while you are with them.






4. Practice the sayings of Jesus


Get a red-lettered bible and practice the words of Jesus written in red, you will see serious improvement will come upon your life.






5. Write things down


Writing makes an exact man. God is a writing God. (Is. 30:8; Hab. 2:2; Ex. 34:1, 27). It helps you to track your journey with God and update your knowledge.






6. Pursue knowledge passionately.






7. Abstain from unwholesome entertainment; it kills the spirit of wisdom.
