Scripture:
The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; by His knowledge, the depths were broken up, and clouds drop down the dew (Proverbs 3:19-20, NKJV).
Explanation:
Wisdom is defined by dictionary as sensible or wise thinking, the quality of being wise. In today fast paced life, it is possible for you to seek for support either in your business or finances. There is a natural wisdom and Divine Wisdom. The greatest counsel is contained in Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. Job was one of the wealthiest men to have lived on the earth. During his negative experience of uncertainty and loss expressed himself by asking “But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living (Job 28: 12-13, NKJV). In the scripture, the Wisdom of God is the Word of God that proceeded from God. The book of Genesis to Revelation contains the Wisdom of God. God Himself found the Earth and Heavens by Wisdom and Knowledge. The Lord is the giver of Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God that gives Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding.
The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; by His knowledge, the depths were broken up, and clouds drop down the dew. My son, let them not depart from your eyes, keep sound wisdom and discretion; o they will be life to your soul and grace to your neck (Proverbs 3:19-22, NKJV). Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth (Proverbs 4:5, NKJV). Therefore, The Lord expects you to keep sound wisdom and discretion. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever (Psalm 111:10, NKJV).
In today economy, you are wealthy and rich if you have 1 kg of silver or Gold because their worth will make you a multimillionaire. Notwithstanding, Wisdom is more precious and rewarding than Gold or Silver. It would not be surprising that many people would rather run after these precious assets. But happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, In her left-hand riches and honor (Proverbs 3: 13-16, NKJV). With your wisdom and your understanding, You have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; by your great wisdom in trade, you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted because of your riches ( Ezekiel 28:4-5, NKJV). Wisdom of God is very important in dealing with various affairs of life especially Business and finances.
Jesus Christ was filled with the wisdom of God that became evident to eyewitnesses. And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him (Luke 2:40). Not only that Jesus was filled with wisdom of God, but Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52). Jesus Christ became for us the wisdom of God. This follows the Prophecy of Isaiah: 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 (Isaiah 11:2).
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him (James 1:5).
Finally, my prayer is that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (Ephesians 1:17),
Stay tune as we shall look continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed.
Confession:
The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon me, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2). I give thanks to the Lord, making mention of others in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of my understanding being enlightened; that I may know what the hope of His calling is, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. I declare that I operate in Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding for business, finance, innovation, and scientific discovery beyond human imagination. I prosper these days; I begin prospering and until I become very prosperous.
From today I declare my victory and protection through the Blood of Jesus in the name of Jesus.
