EPISODE 404 – THE PRACTICE OF WISDOM 2

THE PRACTICE OF WISDOM 2

“So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.” 

Ephesians 5:15 (NLT)

To walk or live in wisdom is to make wisdom visible to your world.

Many don’t experience the Wisdom of God in you, just because you spoke of yourself as wise. Wisdom is proven by the way you live.

The testament of Wisdom is in how you think, act and articulate your thoughts.

This is why the example of Jesus is the perfect presentation of Wisdom.

He didn’t just declare that He is greater than Solomon, He made it known through His words and deeds also.

Many marveled at Him; not only because He had power. Many marveled at Him because He had the Wisdom to administrate the power of God.

Jesus never flinched at the most intense provocation by the theological scholars of His day. He always had the right answers in the toughest moments.

 The best way to practice wisdom is to imitate Jesus; for He is the epitome of Wisdom.

Even Jesus expects that the works that He did we will do and do greater.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12 (ESV)

No wonder He gave the Holy Spirit to those who believed and received Him. The Holy Spirit supplies all who believe in Jesus with the depths of God.

The Holy Spirit serves the saints with the riches of God’s Wisdom.

“For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God.“ 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (Amplified).

By the Holy Spirit within you, you have the capacity to function as Jesus did.

The following is how Jesus demonstrated Wisdom and you should practice:

1. He SPOKE differently and with wisdom; You must also SPEAK differently and with wisdom.

Whenever Jesus spoke, there was abundance of wisdom.

“And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?”
Luke 4:22 (ESV)

Beloved, you also have capacity to speak Wisdom.

The apostles demonstrated this wisdom as well:

“We continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God…” 1 Corinthians 2:7 (TPT).

Be intentional about this also that, because you carry the Wisdom of God, your words are saturated with grace and life.

SPEAK WISDOM.

Hallelujah
