THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM (3)

Ecclesiastes 10:10

For the last two weeks we have been studying this topic – The Spirit of Wisdom. Today we will look at some critical areas in our lives where we need to apply wisdom and the spirit of wisdom can begin to produce real results in out lives.

Areas Where You Need Wisdom

1. You need wisdom to carry out your life assignment

Victory and success in life is not by struggle but by wisdom. You need the wisdom of God to understand your assignment, how to go about it, how to relate with and handle men that are connected with your assignment. Not every man will seek the success of your assignment in life; you need God’s wisdom to handle men, like Jesus handled Judas.

Handle the information of God over your life in wisdom. The crisis of Joseph started when he shared his vision with his envious brothers (Gen. 37: 5). Samson got himself destroyed when he disclosed the sacred information of God over his life to the enemy. With all thy gettings, get understanding.

2. You need wisdom in marriage and home affairs

Wedding lasts for one day or a maximum of 2days but marriage and home building lasts a lifetime. You remember a wise woman builds her own house, the foolish tears hers down. A wise man will also raise his family in wisdom.

3. You need wisdom in handling crisis and challenges of life

We will come across challenges as we go through life, but with the wisdom of the ancient of days you will know how to navigate through life. Wisdom will tell you what to do in times of crisis or who to run to.

4. You need wisdom in handling God and divine revelations

Saul handled his ordination as a king with wisdom (1Sam. 10:14-16). Paul handled his revelation and encounter with God with wisdom. (Gal. 1:15-19). But Joseph did not. (Gen. 37)

5. You need wisdom to move from one level of success to another. Nobody rewards folly. Every right person who promotes and rewards has rewarded increased contributions of wisdom.

6. You need wisdom when life and people confront you with questions.

You need wisdom to know who to answer, who not to answer, who to delay his answer till another time and who to engage so that they don’t ask you questions again.

Lastly, I want to highlight two critical areas in your life that you must watch in other not to pollute the spirit of wisdom operational in you.

The Spirit in your heritage

God thinks generationally and the devil does the same. From the point that a child is given birth to, God places His eyes upon the child while the enemy does the same. Make sure you don’t do anything that connects you to wrong flows. It will affect the operation of the spirit of wisdom inside you.

Spirits of things/items.

Things carry spirits. The Bible says that handkerchiefs were taken from the body of Paul and taken to sick people. This shows that Paul’s body carries the spirit of healing. Books, messages, TV are attested channels of spirits transfer. Shut your mind, home and life to anything that poisons the anointing of God over your life.
