Proverbs 2:6 says, 'For the Lord gives wisdom, out of his mouth comes wisdom and understanding'.  God uses people as His mouth piece. You may not discern His voice most of the time but you can hear Him through His chosen vessels, the preachers and teachers of the Word. Therefore take time to listen to preachers not just on Sundays when you go to church but as much as you can. Download some good sermons, get an audio Bible, do everything you can to make sure you are feeding your mind with the Word of God continuously. As you do that, you are growing in wisdom in handling thr affairs of life. Through that you will learn to walk in the spirit of understanding the  and you will find yourself winning in every area of your life because of the wisdom of God in you. The wise shall call you wise because of the wisdom you will display. No one will despise you. There are some accounts of men who after getting saved and hearing the Word every now and then they started to get straight A...

Proverbs 4:5 'Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.' There are many treasures that are hidden in Christ, our wisdom. But how do we discover them? It is by feeding on Christ and keep on doing it all the time. Feeding on Christ is simply reading the Word of God deeper and go beyond what you have heard being preached for God will speak to you things the preachers never even taught you before. It is what the Bible calls on us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. As you grow in the knowledge of God, you are growing in wisdom. Growing takes time. You don’t plant a seed today and expect it to grow immediately And we never stop growing. Even when you are 20 years in salvation you still need the Word. Proverbs 2:6 says, 'For the Lord gives wisdom, out of his mouth comes wisdom and understanding'. God uses people as His mouth piece. You may not discern His voice most of the time but you can hear Him throu...

1 Corinthians 2:7 'But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:' Paul continues to tell the Corinthian church about the hidden wisdom which is Christ Jesus whom Solomon testified about in the Old testament.  Some may ask, 'how come many Christians are not walking in wisdom?' It is because they have not yet understood this truth yet that this wisdom is available for them too for it is the truth we know that sets us free. The truth you don’t know won’t do anything for you, John 8:32.  This wisdom is activated through prayer. In marriage for example, wives ought to pray for their husbands so that God gives them a spirit of wisdom and revelation so tht he leads you and your home the right way. Even when you as the wife has all the wisdom, you will go down the drain with it if the husband is not wise.  Position and influence are key. Men have the position for they are the heads. Women are the necks t...

1 Corinthians 2:4 'And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:'  Since Christ has become unto us wisdom, 1 Cor 1:30, let's therefore embrace that truth and walk in it. Let our reasoning be based not on human wisdom but on Christ, our wisdom. We ought not to think as the world thinks for our wisdom is from on high. When you are listening to a teacher or a preacher, look out whether they are talking about Christ the Son of the living God or just talking merely about human affairs. Some keep talking about traditions or philosophies of men rather than preaching Christ. Some end up preaching about themselves, instead of pointing us to Christ. Avoid listening to talk on pulpits which is only full of talk about wisdom of men rather than the wisdom from above. This is true too about the natural things we get exposed to. You see a Christian feeding on news from morning to evening. What news? Adulter...

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: David wrote in Psalms 23:4 that, 'even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.' How do people end up walking in the valley of the shadow of death[problems]? It is because they are not walking in wisdom. But thank God who even when we get ourselves in trouble and are in need of a miracle to get out of there, our good shepherd performs a miracle and saves us. Just like the one who has their marriage restored through prayer and breaks again for lack of wisdom,  so is one who gets into financial problems. They get into debt of say 1 million. God does a miracle through prayer and they clear it and only a few months later the same believer slips into a bigger debt of 5 million because they lacked the wisdom to walk debt free. There we don't attribute it to generational curses or demons which were broken...

Proverbs 3:13-16 'Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.' Living long is associated with walking in divine health. Imagine you are a father and your kids are yearning for you to put them on your shoulders but you cannot because you are ill. No one would love such a situation even though they are wealthy. If a rich man lies on his death bed. Will he want to call for his lawyers so that he signs a business deal and close it before he dies? No, he will ask God to give him life so that he may serve his family, enjoy his children and friends. Being healthy is important but it takes wisdom to live healthy. In Christ, both wisdom and longevity are available for you....

2 Chronicles 9:7 'Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.' When the queen of Sheba went to visit Solomon in 2 chronicles 9:7, she concluded that, 'happy are your men and your servants who stand to continually hear your words of wisdom.'  After years of taking heed to God’s word, our lives begin to change. The only reason for that is that the Word of God reveals God's wisdom to us which transforms us. When God asked Solomon what he wanted from Him as he was ascending to the throne of his father David, Solomon asked for wisdom. 'Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?' (2Ch 1:10). The Bible says God gave Solomon wisdom, knowledge, wealth greater than any other king before or after him. It is estimated that if he was alive today, he would be worth over 200 billion dollars, an amount none has ever...

Proverbs 2:11-12 NKJV [11] Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, [12] To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,"  Just like wisdom, knowledge and understanding are profitable. Discretion too is profitable. In fact, wisdom is usually used as a synonym of discretion.  However, in simple terms discretion is more like common sense, having the wisdom to know what to say when,  to whom to say  or what to do, when to do and how to do but it mainly deals with speech.  We ought to know the right things to say at a particular moment and our actions will be guided. Take an example of Joseph at that moment when Portiphar's  wife wanted him to sin. Because Joseph was discreet, his actions were guided rightly. In that sense, we see that it was discretion that protected him from the evil, Genesis 39.  In case you are someone who always speaks and people end up being turned off with your words because you've hur...
