Text: Prov 4:7: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding“
Wisdom is the most effective, most efficient and the easiest ways of getting your problem solved, therefore you need wisdom to get these things solved. It is the practical application of divine rules by faith as instructed in the word of God.Wisdom is beyond head knowledge or human hypothetical postulations from the figments of natural minds. Wisdom is from God and has no corruptness in it because it is pure, gentle in application and peaceful in result.
James 3:17: “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.“
Foundation for wisdom
Search from the scripture: To know the mind of God regarding the matter or project you’re engaging. Rom 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.Go get relevant books: Dan 9:2.. Daniel understood by books the number of the years,Seek the face of God in prayers: To ascertain His mind concerning the project. Sometimes it may be His will but not yet time; so find out when to take off or the direction to follow because the voice of God is per time. Dan 9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplication, with fasting, Seek wise counsel from spirit filled men: King Solomon with all his wisdom had wise men that ruled with him; whose counsels were instrumental to his success. Prov 15:22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
