SPIRIT OF WISDOM
CHRISTIANITY OASIS
HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS
SPIRIT OF WISDOM STUDY. MOST HAVE HEARD OF SPIRIT OF
WISDOM BUT MANY ARE NOT AWARE
THAT THEY POSSESS THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM. COME AND LET'S SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH OF
THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM TOGETHER, SHALL WE?
In
1 Corinthians chapter 12,
it speaks of the Spiritual gifts bestowed upon those that
serve our Lord. The Spirit of Wisdom is one of those gifts.
|
1 Corinthians 12:8
For to one is given by
the Spirit the word of WISDOM; to another the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit; |
So, let us look into this
Spirit of Wisdom a lil more
Shall we?
Who was the wisest
soul ever walk the earth?
Most say Solomon, but Jesus made
it clear that HE was wiser.
|
Matthew 12:42
The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost
parts of the earth to hear the WISDOM of Solomon; and,
behold, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. |
But
Solomon is known for
his GREAT Wisdom
|
1 Kings 4:
29-30
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding
exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the
sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon's WISDOM
excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east
country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. |
So WHY did God give Solomon
this Wisdom?
Cuz that is what
Solomon asked for and it pleased the Lord.
|
2 Chronicles 1:9-12
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father
be established: for thou hast made me king over a
people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 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? And God said to Solomon,
Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not
asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine
enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast
asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou
mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee
king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I
will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as
none of the kings have had that have been before thee,
neither shall there any after thee have the like. |
The Wisdom in the book of
Proverbs was written mostly by Solomon ...
|
Proverbs 1:1
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king
of Israel;
|
But
Proverbs 30 was
written by another soul.
|
Proverbs 30:1
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: |
As was the famous Virtuous
Woman words of Proverbs 31
|
Proverbs 31:1
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his
mother taught him. |
There is another book called
Ecclesiastes which was written by Solomon, tho many
Religious scholars try and dispute this for some reason
If
one merely reads the words within this book, they will KNOW
it is Solomon. In addition, here are some Scripture clues to
confirm Solomon is the author
Solomon was the Son of
David and King in Jerusalem. But wait, there is more.
|
Ecclesiastes 1:12-13
I the Preacher was KING OVER ISRAEL in Jerusalem. And
I gave my heart to seek and search out by WISDOM
concerning all things that are done under heaven: this
sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be
exercised therewith. |
Solomon was King In Jerusalem and is known for his seeking
WISDOM.
But wait
Theres even more.
|
Ecclesiastes 12:9
And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he
still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good
heed, and sought out, and set in order MANY PROVERBS |
Solomon wrote many Proverbs as we found out earlier.
But wait, there is still more.
|
Ecclesiastes 7:26-28
And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose
heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands:
whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the
sinner shall be taken by her. Behold, this have I
found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to
find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I
find not: one man among a THOUSAND have I found; but a
woman AMONG ALL THOSE (The Thousand) have I not found. |
OUCH
Sorry
ladies
This
suggests that the author had one thousand women. Solomon in
fact DID have 1000 women. These women DID cause him some
serious problems and is why he said these words. Check this
out
|
1 Kings 11:2-4
Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the
children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them,
neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they
will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon
clave unto these in love. And he had SEVEN HUNDRED
wives, princesses, and THREE HUNDRED concubines: and
his wives turned away his heart. For it came to pass,
when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his
heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect
with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his
father. |
So as
you can see
Solomon IS the author of the book of
Ecclesiastes. The book of Ecclesiastes was written when
Solomon was old and some suggest he was bitter as he knows
he will die soon and had seen and experienced much and he
tries to get his message across that much of what man
chooses to do and follow is VANITY and vexes the Spirit.
Solomon was not the only soul God gave the Spirit of Wisdom
God gave many men and women the SPIRIT OF WISDOM to do
many various types of works. Here are a couple examples.
|
Exodus
28:2-3
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy
brother for glory and for beauty. And thou shalt speak unto
all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the
spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to
consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's
office. |
We see
that God gave men the Spirit of WISDOM as to be able to
create holy Garments.
|
Exodus
31:1-3
And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son
of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have
filled him with the Spirit of God, in WISDOM, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship, To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and
in silver, and in brass, And in cutting of stones, to set
them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of
workmanship. |
We see
God gave man the Spirit of Wisdom to be able to create with
various materials. So a carpenter can be skilled by the
Spirit of Wisdom.
|
Exodus
31:6-11
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the
son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of
all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may
make all that I have commanded thee; The tabernacle of the
congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy
seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the
tabernacle, And the table and his furniture, and the pure
candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of
incense, And the altar of burnt offering with all his
furniture, and the laver and his foot, And the cloths of
service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the
garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place:
according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
|
Then there is Spiritual
Wisdom in dream interpretation
|
Daniel 1:17
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and
skill in all learning and WISDOM: and Daniel had
understanding in all visions and dreams. |
As you
can see
God gives specific souls the SPIRIT of WISDOM to
create many things. Even that which is HOLY to the Lord. He
gives the Spirit of Wisdom to bring Him glory. Consider some
of the famous painters. Where did they get such a GIFT? What
about engineers and scientists? Did they receive their gifts
of discovery from God?
Ponder on that if you will.
This
brings to mind and heart
DOCTORS. There are many
Christians that dispute over whether when we get sick, if we
should place our trust in doctors or not. Does this
Scripture not reveal that God can give the WISDOM of healing
to man thru the administration of physicians? I mean if God
gives the Spirit of Wisdom to create, does He not give the
Spirit of Wisdom to heal?
HOWEVER
There IS another source that teaches man wisdom
and it is NOT Godly. It is the enemy of our soul ...
|
James 3:13-17
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?
let him shew out of a good conversation his works with
meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and
strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against
the truth. THIS WISDOM descendeth not from above, but
is earthly, sensual, DEVILISH. For where envying and
strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 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.
|
So there are two types of WISDOM ... One from above
and one worldly.
|
1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own
craftiness. |
|
1 Corinthians 2:5-7
That
your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but
in the power of God. Howbeit we speak WISDOM among
them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this
world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to
nought: But we speak the WISDOM OF GOD in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the
world unto our glory. |
The SPIRIT of WISDOM comes from the Holy Spirit.
|
1 Corinthians 2:10-14
But God hath revealed them unto us by His
Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of
a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so
the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of
God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might
know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which
man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned. |
The worldly "wisdom" had mankind think they KNEW it
all ...
But, they failed to know GOD.
|
1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the
WISDOM OF GOD the world by wisdom knew not God, it
pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save
them that believe. |
So we are to seek out the SPIRIT OF
WISDOM from the Lord. But not just by SAYING we seek it but
rather by diligently seeking it ...
|
Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get
understanding. |
Wisdom IS a SPIRIT. This is
not just symbolic wording I share, but a Spiritual
revelation. WISDOM is a SPIRIT. HEAR the Spirit of Wisdom
SPEAK
|
Proverbs 8:12-36
I, WISDOM dwell with
prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do
I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am
understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and
princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and
nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them
that love me; and those that seek me early shall find
me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches
and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea,
than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I
lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the
paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me
to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old. I was set up from
everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth
was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth;
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills
was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the
earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the
dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was
there: when he set a compass upon the face of the
depth: When he established the clouds above: when he
strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave
to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass
his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of
the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with
him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always
before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his
earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. Now
therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed
are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be
wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that
heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the
posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that
sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they
that hate me love death. |
This SPIRIT of Wisdom is but
one of many Spirits that can be part of you ...
|
Isaiah 11:2
And the Spirit of the
LORD shall rest upon Him, the SPIRIT of wisdom and
understanding, the SPIRIT of counsel and might, the
SPIRIT of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; |
I say
YOU can possess these
SPIRITS just as the Lord did cuz the SPIRIT of GOD LIVES
WITHIN US ...
|
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that
your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in
you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? |
It seems easy for
others to imagine being possessed by evil spirits but to be
filled with Spirits from God seems far fetched.
And He
wants to give us these SPIRITS to glorify HIM ...
|
1 Corinthians 12:8
For to one is given by
the Spirit the word of WISDOM; to another the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit; |
We need only be believers and
ASK and BELIEVE that He will give us this Spirit of Wisdom
|
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.
|
And
with the Spirit of TRUTH comes a PROMISE.
|
Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
|
In
closing ... I echo the words of Paul:
|
Ephesians 1:17-18
That the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you
the SPIRIT OF WISDOM and revelation in the knowledge
of him: The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his
calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints. |
