PREFACE SUMMARY
Dear reader, we all sometimes go through a phase in our life when we get over loaded and make mistakes which have cost us dearly but beloved please know that there will always be someone suffering including a lot more than we have for life is not fair but we have a God that is perfect in all his ways and he loves mankind his greatest creation.
Beloved, I know that I can honestly admit that I have made my share of mistakes and if we are trueful with ourselves, I believe some reading this right now will have to admit that you have also made some that you just wish that there could be some way that you could go back in time and correct them.
Dear reader, did we begin our downfall by not managing our time wisely in allowing others to manipulate us to the point that we gave up on what we were doing and started doing things for them?
Beloved reader, let’s face it, we became guilty of allowing circumstances to overpower us and because we were not able to think properly, we began to act on impulse and make decisions without counting the cost but beloved, the truths confined in this message will help get us back on the right path to understand that our God loved us through our many mistakes and called us anyway which is beyond anything our three pound mind can comprehend.
Dear reader, we must understand that the tests in life are prepared to produce character deep within us and beloved, we may suffer through many years of hard trials and tests before God will trust us to do what we were destined to do.
Saints please remember that our whole life has been preparing us for our destiny, and we need to understand that the greater the trials we encounter, usually means the greater the task which lies ahead that God purposely chose us to complete.
THE SOURCE DETERMINES IT'S VALUE
(Job 28: 20-22) (20) "Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?" (21) "Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air."( 22) "Destruction and death say, we have heard the fame thereof with our ears."
(Job 28: 23-25) (23)" God understandeth the way thereof and he knoweth the place thereof." (24) "For he looketh to the ends of the Earth and seeth under the whole heaven;" (25) "To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure."
Beloved, if we study the book of Proverbs the fourth chapter, we discover that wisdom is personified as a woman that is calling us to her class room to learn from her many benefits which shall bring us honor and integrity, and we can better understand what seeking after wisdom is by using our imagination of how a prospector would spend his whole life looking for a vein of Gold.
Dear reader, the prospector knows what he is searching for and sometimes it may take a life time for him to make that one special strike that will set him financially free for the rest of his life, however beloved, many who left all and took up that life style were never able to find that special vein.
Beloved, we find in God’s word that when we ask and seek after wisdom, God gives it in abundance which causes us to be more ready to realize that we need her classroom and apply her instructions found in the book of Isaiah to exchange our strength for his. (Isaiah 40:31)
Saints, through wisdom, we can be better prepared to convince someone who needs Jesus in their life that they need to exchange what they have for what we have and that would be peace with the Living God.
Beloved, we will discover in this message that the wisdom of God is far more important than rubies or precious jewels and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Dear reader, do you remember the tales and the cartoons of someone in search of wisdom and giving the presentation of traveling a rough trail to find and old man on the mountain that is supposed to be a wise man?
Saints, God’s ways and thoughts are higher than mans, for what some may call wisdom from their thoughts or opinion may not survive the test of time and our earthly wisdom unchecked by the Spirit of God can actually cause us pain including shame.
Beloved, did you know that our human wisdom is self-centered and can lead us down the wrong path causing us to make wrong decisions which can hurt and damage others?
Dear reader, did you know that true Godly wisdom begins with a deep reverence for the Lord, and we mortal humans do not have the ability and capacity to guide our own lives?
Saints, did you know that secular humanism states that change the environment and you can change the person, well beloved, God intends to do just that in the thousand-year reign with Christ sitting on his throne in Jerusalem and the devil will still be able to cause some to rise against him and fire will come down from heaven and devour them.
Saints, how wonderful it is to be the recipients of God’s wisdom and we may work hard to gain great wealth but it cannot buy the inner peace that transcends beyond anything we have known for beloved, this kind of peace can only come from God.
Beloved, the benefits of God’s wisdom are the result of knowing and maintaining a relationship with him which will redirect our focus to see things from God’s perspective instead of ours for Godly wisdom will bring meaning, purpose and value to the life that God has bountifully blessed us to enjoy.
Dear reader, wisdom opens and unlocks doors of opportunities such as allowing us to see our problems and circumstances the way God sees them realizing that he has a purpose for everything that is allowed to come upon us that we might develop Godly character and be able to withstand the onslaught of the enemy.
Beloved, did you know that men and women of wisdom will be the ones who have come through severe trials and overcome by learning how to rest in his grace and protection to bring them through realizing that the battle is not theirs but God's.
Dear reader, did you know that people that have been extended mercy are the ones that will be more apt to give mercy?
Saints, God’s word informs us that the Spirit of God imparts gifts and talents to those he has chosen and wisdom will greatly increase our capabilities to solve problems that others are not able to attain through worldly means for God has anointed and placed us to have the answers for a testimony of who he is to a hurting world.
GODLY WISDOM INCREASES OUR STRENGTH
(1 Corinthians 1:24) "But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
(Colossians 2:2-3) (2) "That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;" (3) "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
Beloved reader, we all know that Jesus is the word that was made flesh according to (John 1:14) and he was unique, for he was God from all eternity and lowered himself below the angels that he might become our Savior.
Saints, Jesus possessed all the attributes of deity as told in (Philippians 2:6) including the attributes of man (apart from sin) and Jesus will exist forever in his glorified body for He was 100% God and 100% man (the other Adam) to fulfill the plan of God to suffer and die for you and me.
Beloved, Men and women of wisdom will be the ones who have come through severe trials and over come by realizing that the battle is not theirs and rest in his grace and protection to bring them through.
Saints, the Spirit of God is the one imparting gifts and talents to his chosen vessels and through his guidance we will gain knowledge to greatly increase our capabilities to solve problems to come up with solutions that others are not able to attain for God has anointed and placed us to have the answers for a testimony of who he is.
Beloved, in God, we can be assured that we are secure at all times including all circumstances and dangers that may come our way that there is divine protection. Godly wisdom makes us ten times stronger than our enemy.
Dear reader, you might ask the question, "why wisdom is the most important principal thing in our life" and my answer from experience would be “because it is more powerful than any thing man can come up with such as weapons or human strategy?"
Dear reader, this tells us that in God, we are secure at all times and in all circumstances and dangers, there is protection because Wisdom makes us stronger than our enemy.
Beloved, the word of God informs us that wisdom is the most important principal thing in life that can give us riches and health but beloved, it is more powerful than anything man can come up with such as weapons or strategy.
(Ecclesiastes. 9:18) "Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good."
(James 3:2) "For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body."
Dear reader, the wisdom we glean from these scriptures is a solemn warning that our speech can give us away so let us strive to keep a restraint upon our mouth and think before we speak and act.
MY CONCLUSION
Dear reader, I personally want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this message which consists of much prayer and years of study and yes years of experience that I feel will help someone in their walk with Christ.
Beloved Saints, the Living God is in the process of restoration to those who have been shut down as they were attempting to use their gifts because they missed the mark and made mistakes which caused some to question their calling.
Beloved, we are living in the closing era of the Dispensation of Grace and the Spirit of the Lord is in the process of restoring the prophetic ministry to the body of Christ and the desperate hunger for supernatural guidance has caused men and women to rise to fill the void that the church should be filling.
Beloved Saints, did you know that the scriptures teach that the apostolic ministry will become one of the important issues at the end of this age?
Saints and fellow peers, please understand that those of us that have a call upon our life to represent Christ, must be men and women of integrity because the enemy is looking for weakness in our ranks and we must maintain a disciplined prayer life and do our best to bring out the best in others.
Beloved reader, did you know that ministers have come forth today declaring that the word of God replaced the gifts of the Spirit which were prevalent in the early church stating that (Ephesians 4:11-13) is fulfilled and the church has achieved a perfect state of maturity?
Beloved, did you know that for them to make such statements declaring that it was good for that day and not for our day is total blasphemy in the face of a God who never changes for to say it was for that day and that it ceased with the Apostles beloved, is making a bold statement that our perfect God, gave an imperfect gift?
Saints, we that are representing Christ to a confused world need to be men and women of integrity and do our best to bring out the best in others, and it is now in this era of Grace that we realize it is time to quit being a spectator and get in the fight, get some Godly wisdom, and use the Authority that we have in Christ for the word warns us to not let another take our crown and this will be disappointing when compared with Eternity watching someone else wear what should have been ours.
Dear reader, we need to claim our children for the Kingdom of God and protect them with our prayers for if we are not willing to spend time in God's word and glean from his wisdom, we will never reach the fullness that God has planned for us therefore beloved Saints, let’s be those that are engaged in the fight and not be critical of the leaders that God has chosen to lead the battle.
