Text: Ephesians 3:10,11
Last week we began a message that this is the second part of, THE MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD.
We discovered that wisdom is that one quality and gift that applies to every area of our life and existence.
We discovered that wisdom is a gift of God
We saw from scripture that we need wisdom to fulfil our destinies and maximise our potential.
We were able to see that wisdom is necessary to live prosperous and dignified lives.
We observed from God's Word that God's wisdom answers to purity, righteousness and holiness for God lays up up sound wisdom for the righteous. Proverbs 2:7
We explored the benefits of wisdom:
1) Distinction- Daniel 6:3, Daniel 1:17, Genesis 41:38,39
2) Direction- Ecclesiastes 10:10
3) Happiness- Proverbs 3:18
4) Long life- Proverbs 3:16
5) Safety- Proverbs 3:23
6) Glory- Proverbs 3:35
7) Rest- Proverbs 3:24
8) Promotion- Proverbs 8:15,16 & Proverbs 4:8,9
9) Increases your wealth- Proverbs 8:18,21 & Proverbs 14:24
10) Wisdom brings favor and recognition- Proverbs 4:8 & Proverbs 8:34,35
11) Peace- Proverbs 3:16,17
There are different kinds of wisdom- the two major kinds of wisdom there is is seen in James 3:13-18
1) Wisdom from Above
2) Wisdom that's of the earth- is not spiritual and is demonic.This wisdom is of the flesh and is not inspired of God
Wisdom is revealed in two major ways-
1)By our actions/deeds (James 3:13)
2)By your Words (Luke 21:15)
The godly, heavenly, spiritual wisdom of God is superior to the earthly, fleshly, demonic wisdom of this world. Genesis 41:1-40
In the same manner the rod of Moses swallowed up the rod of the magicians of Pharaoh, the wisdom of God will always swallow up the wisdom of Satan. Exodus 7:12
The strategies of God, the methods of God, the plan of God, the intentions of God and the revelations of God are more beneficial in the long run to what Satan or the flesh has to offer us.
Wisdom pleases God, wisdom is part of God's blessing.
You can ask God for wisdom and receive it. James 1:5
Jesus died to get wisdom to you. Revelation 5:12
You are entitled to Godly wisdom wisdom as a son of God. Matthew 7:9-11
We are the righteousness of God in Christ- 2 Corinthians 5:21, Psalm 5:12
