Wisdom, Knowledge And Understanding
Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Aug 21, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: Beloved, to miss our purpose in life, is to miss everything because our purpose is what drives our vision and without the proper wisdom to use the knowledge we have learned, we will miss our assignment causing our life and ministry to end-up shipwrecked on the rocks of doom and despair.

PREFACE SUMMARY
(Proverbs 4:7) “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Dear reader, did you know that the word Principle can be best described as being foremost the first, the leading such as important city or capitol city therefore the most important or we may say dominant?
Beloved, please understand that when we seek Godly wisdom, we are seeking knowledge that can change everything including power that can turn our whole situation around. Faith is the "currency" of God's kingdom. It takes faith to receive and operate in the Godly principles that will fix your financial situation and help you eliminate debt from your balance sheet.
Beloved reader, did you know that men and women of great wealth have testified that they have conducted seminars including authoring best selling books to credit their accomplishments in their willingness to give a tithe of their increase to the work of God and even went on to state that as their faith increased, so did their wealth and financial accomplishments?
Saints, did you know that the purpose for God’s wisdom is to provide direction and instruction in all aspects of our life which helps to remind us that we need his guidance to lead us away from the path of evil?
Beloved, the primary means by which God gives his children wisdom is through instruction, and when Jesus walked this Earth, he did not talk about things that were hard to understand, nor did he use words that were over the peoples head.
Saints of God and fellow peers, did you know that Jesus taught about the common things that everyone was familiar with and used them to impart eternal and spiritual truths to his disciples?
Saints of the living God, unless we grow up, our lives will never reach the fullness that God has planned for us and beloved, this will be disappointing when compared with Eternity where our works shall be tried by fire.
Saints, may we as children of the most-high God, take a firm stand today and press toward the mark of the high calling of God which is in Christ Jesus striving to become men and women of God that are engaged in the fight of faith and not being critical of the leaders that God has chosen to lead the battle.
Beloved reader, in this hour and time, the Living God is calling us to the school of his Spirit that we may fulfill his purpose for our generation, yes saints, our God has a sincere desire for us to grow in maturity as we enjoy intimacy with him.
Beloved, the relationship with our master is an important truth which Jesus demonstrated as an example throughout his Earthly ministry, and Saints, no wonder the Apostle Paul made the statement found in the book of (Philippians 3:10) "I want to know him in the power of his resurrection."
WISDOM THROUGH INSTRUCTION
Dear reader, did you know that before you can successfully lead God’s people, you must learn to summit to the authority that he has placed over you and sadly, some people recognize the call of God on their life and immediately launch out into ministry, and do so without the proper training needed to be successful refusing to be accountable to their elders thus opening themselves up to a jezebel spirit to come in and give them what they desire thus making them very dangerous people?
