The Wisdom Of God-
the Principle Thing
You have within you
the Spirit of wisdom (Isaiah 11:2)—wisdom is the ability to use knowledge
correctly—Jesus is made unto you wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30) and you are daily
growing in it and in revelation (“For I always pray...that He may grant you a
spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the
[deep and intimate] knowledge of Him...” Ephesians 1:17 - AMP).
7 Pillars of Wisdom:
1. Walk in the
KNOWLEDGE OF GOD (2 Peter 1:2; Philippians 3:3-10). It’s not enough to just
know about God…you have to make the effort to get to know Him, and that comes
from spending time with Him, communicating with Him on a regular basis, and
experiencing a continual manifestation of His presence. God wants to be known,
and you can know Him!
2. Walk in the
KNOWLEDGE OF HIS PLANS AND PURPOSES. He made his ACTS known to the children of
Israel, but He made His WAYS known to Moses (Psalm 103:7). Learning the ways of
God is far superior to simply being aware of His acts!
3. Walk in the
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCRIPTURES. Study to show yourself approved unto God as a
workman who does not need to be ashamed of his ignorance. Learn to rightly
divide the logos Word so that you are able to receive the Rhema word (2 Timothy
2:15). Wisdom is found in the written Word!
4. Walk in the
KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE—the kind that only comes by experience—by learning through
trial and error…from your own mistakes…and by graduating maturely and soberly
from the school of hard knocks. Jesus LEARNED obedience through the things He
suffered (Hebrews 5:8)…Paul LEARNED how to be abased and how to abound
(Philippians 4:11). Each new day is a learning opportunity if you know how to
look at it correctly!
5. Seek to grasp a
KNOWLEDGE OF PEOPLE so that you can deal wisely with them. (“But Jesus [for His
part] did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men...He Himself knew
what was in human nature [He could read men’s hearts].” – John 2:24, 25 AMP).
Be wise as a serpent/harmless as a dove…be people-smart!
6. Embrace the
KNOWLEDGE OF SELF—the truth that God desires in the inward parts (Psalm 51:6).
Find your true self in the revelation of Christ…the more you know Him, the more
you’ll know you! I am that I am.
7. Love PRACTICAL
KNOWLEDGE—to be, like Moses, “mighty in words and deeds” (Acts 7:22). Remember
that knowledge is power! Head knowledge is good, heart knowledge is better.
"Wisdom has
built her house...hewn out and set up her seven [perfect number of] pillars.
She has killed her beast...mixed her [spiritual] wine...set her table...sent
out her maids to cry...“Whoever is simple...turn in here!”...[God’s] Wisdom
says to him, “Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the [spiritual] wine which I
have mixed...[forsake the foolish and simple
