The Wisdom from the Lord

Text: I Kings 3:1-13
More Lessons: James 1:5
Bible Reading in One Year: 1 Kings 11-13

Wisdom is a gift of God that you cannot do without, And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him...: I kgs.5:12a The presence of wisdom in a man's life will be glaring to all the world while its absence will also be clear for all to see. The Bible speaks clearly about wisdom and what it does in a man's life. Here are examples of what wisdom does:

1. Wisdom makes the face of a man to shine - Ecc.8:1.
2. Wisdom is better than strength - Ecc. 9:16.
3. Wisdom is better than weapons of war -Ecc. 9:18.
4. It is by wisdom that kings reign -Prov.9:14-15.
5. It is by wisdom that a house is built -Prov.24:3.
6. Riches and honour come by wisdom -Prov.8:18.

It is very clear from God's Word that wisdom is not an act, it is a spirit. When the spirit of wisdom rests upon an individual, it shows in everything he or she does. May the spirit of wisdom rest upon you. Even Jesus our Lord did not operate without the spirit of wisdom,

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 Isa.11:2.

I am glad that wisdom is a gift from God and it is available to everyone who desires, pursues and asks for it. Solomon got it by asking and if you too ask today, it shall be given to you.
However, possessing wisdom does not come just by asking; it begins with walking in the fear of God, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom…. Prov.9:10. Therefore, if you want God to send the spirit of wisdom upon your life, then make sure you:
* Desire it.
* Walk in the fear of the Lord.
* Ask for it like Solomon did.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding Prov. 4:7.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to pour upon you today the spirit of wisdom and might.
* Ask God to baptise you with wisdom to do exploits within and outside His Kingdom.
* Declare that the wisdom of God at work in your life will positively affect your generation and beyond as Solomon did.
