TRUTH SERIES 23: WISDOM

Wisdom is the principal thing, in all thy getting get understanding - prov 4v5

I was at the Sunday morning service , My Pastor preached on the message ,title: wisdom ,In this week Truth series ,I will be sharing with you some of the things he said and most things that were running through my mind during the preaching.

One of the profound statement he made was that wisdom is doing the right thing at the right time with the right purpose to get the right result. He said wisdom is knowing what to do to get the desired result. He said most people can fast and pray but still few lack the wisdom to know the right thing to do. And knowing what to do Now is what takes one to the next level of our lives which we all desire but very few people get to their next level because they lack the wisdom.

WHAT IS WISDOM? According to wikipedia,Wisdom is a deep understanding of people, things, events or situations, empowering the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the optimum results with a minimum of time and energy.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.- david starr jordan

Through out our classes from kindergarten in Nursery to our final year in the university ,and even in our post graduate courses .Their is no subject called wisdom 101 or Introduction to wisdom or The Principles of wisdom, but from the scripture above ,we are made to understand that wisdom is life fundamental, in finance,marriage,business,career,Governance,Leadership,Relationship etc.

In this age and time, we need to manifest wisdom to our world ,we need wisdom to be relevant, we need wisdom to be relevant. My Pastor shared the story of Esther, that with wisdom,she presented Her case to the King, to the point that the King committed himself to do anything She wanted from him. In this generation, where graduating with first class is not a guarantee to secure a job; wisdom is needed to know what next to do. wisdom is needed to know which business to venture into, wisdom is needed to know how to raise capital to set up the business, wisdom is needed to know how to rightly implement business ideas. It now occurs to me that many are idle and jobless especially youths because they lack the wisdom to know what to do with what they have or where to start from.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously -James 1v5.May God give our generation wisdom to be relevant and to do the extraordinary in our NATION.
