How to access kingdom wisdom
- Ask for it – James 1:5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
- Fear of the Lord – Prov 9:10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
- Stay in the word – word expose you to wisdom (Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.)
- Associate with the wise – Prov 13:20. 20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed
