Proverbs 8
1Does not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
so wisdom is actually a spirit that’s found at a 1cross roads because the bible says where to path meet
Cross roads speaks of decision making….a place of confusion… which means that when you are confused,that’s when wisdom can show up.
3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city.
At the entrance of the doors
๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝsecondly wisdom is found at the entrance coz every entrance gives you access to that which is either behind the door or the gate.
You cant get in unless you first get possessed by wisdom otherwise a door can open and you fail to get what’s behind the door.
So firstly, wisdom finds you at the cross roads so it has to direct you to a gate or a door into the city. Ecclesiastics 10:15 The ways of a foolish man wearies him because he doesn’t know the way into the city.
So there’s a path that leads to the city and that path is only known by wisdom. The Bible says fear of the the lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Since wisdom is a spirit, it’s attracted to you by the fear of the Lord, so when you start fearing God, you invite this spirit to your confusion and she then leads you and direct the way into the city. Every spirit is attracted by something…wisdom is attracted by the fear of the Lord. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies,๐๐ฝ
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝtherefore wisdom is a female spirit, that’s why the bible calls her she and not him.
12 I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
So there is another spirit called prudence ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝboth these spirits look for
knowledge and discretion.
I am understanding, I have strength.๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝwisdom gives strength to those who find her.
15 By me kings reign,
And rulers decree justice.๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
Something that the word of wisdom cant do. The word of wisdom helps you for that moment but wisdom is for life time. So this is a female spirit that establishes thrones and dominions
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth.
17 I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring riches and righteousness.
Remember Daniel 4:17 this decree is by the watchers and the holy ones…to the intent that the living may know that God rules in the affairs of man and whom he wishes,he puts in power.
So how does God establish his thrones?
By using a female spirit called wisdom.
This is the spirit satan always tried to use with Jezebel, because Jezebel is a female spirit and wisdom is a female spirit, so chapter 7 of proverbs….Somolon saw a young man who lacked wisdom, and because he lacked wisdom he was dragged by a seductive woman, and the bible says for many that she destroyed were man of power.
Jezebel fights wisdom, and if you lack her,Jezebel will reduce you to a loaf of bread therefore wisdom is a watcher, the holy ones who deal with kings and kingdoms thatโs why wisdom said by me kings reign and are put in power.
21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.
22 The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝthe first spirit God had before he created was wisdom ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
* thats the spirt mentioned in Genesis 1 which is said, “and the spirit was moving upon the face of the deep
because God couldn’t create outside wisdom
23 I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
Or the primal dust of the world.
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
Wisdom is taking about Genesis 1
Saying that before everything was there, she was the only one helping God. The bible says he was his craftsman๐๐๐
And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight was with the sons of men.
๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
God had no entertainment…l was his entertainment๐๐๐
32 Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
34 Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoever finds me finds life,
And obtains favor from the Lord
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.
It’s like word of Passion, Word of wisdom is a word from the spirit called wisdom, then the word of knowledge is from a spirit called Knowledge, that’s why God is the father of all spirits, spirit of lying belongs to him because all things were created by him. He created pharaoh to harden his heart and show him his anger. He says nebuchadnezzar is my servant. Look at the difference between Solomon and Daniel, Solomon asked for wisdom meaning it came by desire, but wisdom the chapter l gave you says the Lord posessed me from the beginning and l was with him from the beginning of all things, but Solomon desired her and the Lord released her.
Like God, Daniel had wisdom right from start, he never prayed for wisdom meaning Daniel befriended wisdom from the beginning.
Job 28
12ย But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13ย Man knoweth not the price thereof.. neither is it found in the land of the living.๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ so wisdom is in the realm of gods and not of man
14ย The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15ย It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16ย It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17ย The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18ย No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19ย The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20ย Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21ย Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22ย Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23ย God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
So there is a dwelling place for wisdom.
But that place,only God knows about it
Death is looking for her, hell is also looking for her. Wisdom said anyone who rejects me sins against his own soul because with me are riches, so when Solomon found her, he became rich, therefore wisdom operates with seven pillars. Will show u soon
Check this verse
James 5:14, Is anyone among you sick?
Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord…
The word if is a condition, when sick you call elders, but when lacking wisdom you ask God, because he’s the only one who knows the place of wisdom, so there’s a condition.
A person of faith is above the law, that’s why Abraham when he prayed for lot. The prayer of Abraham nullified the law of incest and a lot slept with his daughters because Abraham had faith!
God does not consider the behaviour but the faith of the person ๐๐ฝโโ๐ค
Let me slow down some will be confused.
Essence of God and His expressions. God cant lie that’s his expression, because in him is the truth that his essence, so wisdom says if there’s a condition.
So how do you know, you donโt have wisdom ?
Listen to this very well, God expose you to an environment that manifest your essence, thatโs your nature, which brings your weakness in that area…you then know that in this area l dont have wisdom. You never know that you are weak until you get in an environment that exposes you, that’s the reason why Solomon was specific.
There are types of wisdom, I need Wisdom to go in and out of your people, so he needed interaction wisdom, so wisdom changes like a chameleon depending on what you want, it changes based on where itโs going.
God is one, but Him being one, He manifests in different levels and ways depending on whom He is approaching in time and/or in a place so is wisdom. Wisdom is referred to as she!! The only terminology that we give to a woman because a women can never be said to be a He!!. The moment you say she, we are reffering to a woman, so wisdom always in the Bible from genesis to revelations, wisdom is called her, so wisdom is a female spirit, but you will understand that when wisdom is coming to you what changes that wisdom is exactly what you want God to do for you.
So now solomon has one problem, he had a social problem, he could not socialise because of His background. How he had been born had an effect on him. He was child who had been born out of wedlock hence was afraid to socialise with people, because he knew that each time he would want to socialise or play with other kids he would be told off and silenced as well as given names to being a son of prostitution.
Now when he was now asking for wisdom, he said โgive me wisdom to go in and out of your people.
What he needed was interactions wisdom. Mainly how to socialise.
Listen!!
This was because he was now a king, so he really needed to understand and know how to address people because we have different calibers of people in the society.
Listen and Learn!!
The way you address Billgates is not the same way you would address a commoner.
So Solomon now because of his background he needed interactional wisdom.
You cant therefore ask for wisdom without knowing the area you lack wisdom. That’s why it says, If you lack wisdom. So some people lack financial wisdom, they dont know who to give to their money, thatโs why people are broke. It requires wisdom to give a prophet and it requires word of wisdom to collect from him, you connect to collect.
There is what we call essence, then expression.
God has essence and expression so as a human being has both essence and expression. When we talk of essence, we referring to your nature, the nature of a mangoe tree is to produce a mangoe fruit, so itโs nature is a mangoe tree. When it produces a mangoe fruit, that becomes an expression. You can never really know who you are unless God creates conditions that make you express your essence which is within you, thatโs why you will have some people say I have never stolen as they give their testimonies.
The reason why that person is saying I have never stolen is because they have never been exposed to a lot of money.
When exposed to 1 million USD, and donโt steal thats the only time they can say they donโt steal ๐ so when God wants you to ask for wisdom, He will make you first understand and know yourself.
Once you know yourself through an atmosphere that God creates.
Notice this ๐
This atmosphere has 2 things!!
1. An angel that comes with a test
2. A demon which comes with a temptation
These 2 are coming to expose the real you.
Thatโs why the Bible says Jesus was tempted in all forms.
Meaning you can be tempted but not in all forms.
So check here!!
Jesus was tempted in all forms yet found with no sin.
He was exposed unto everything. A wife can never say I would never cheat on my husband only if Bill gates has not approached her and proposed to her, but after that happens and declines Bill Gates offer, then she can say I would never cheat on my husband.
Whatโs word of wisdom then?
Word of wisdom then now stands as an instruction.
Because itโs a word of wisdom, a word from Prophet Passion. You are being told to meet a certain condition so that wisdom can come to you. If you meet the condition of the word of Prophet Passion, then you will meet up with Prophet Passion, the Gaffa.
For example!!
Seeing Passion 1 on 1 is a 100$, so the condition is if you bring 100$.
So now 100$ becomes the word of wisdom, the word of Passion. So when I meet up with the 100$ then I can see Prophet Passion, so meeting up with word of wisdom, which is an instruction, will qualify you to have wisdom. Thatโs when you see that Paul was used by God, to the extent that he saw everyone else as useless.
Will go deeper but hear this ๐
David says in Psalms 139, Search me lord and know my heart. Test me and is if there’s anything bad in me. David also didnโt know himself, test me and see if there’s anything bad in me, thatโs the reason why Paul got here and said I speak in tongues more than all of you put together๐ฅ in 2nd Corinthians 11 and 12, you hear him say that if itโs suffering, no one has ever suffered more than I did. You would hear him say even the sjambok strokes he received were more than those which Jesus received.
Because Jesus was struck 39 times, he also said concerning dreams and visions, no one surpasses him, so Paul was used by God to an extent that Pride got in his way. In chapter 12 he says, because of this abundance of revelation, Satanโs messenger was sent to buffet me, least I exalt myself above measure.
So the question now is :: who sent Satanโs messenger??
The answer to it is :: this messenger was sent by God. It was so that Pauls weakeness could be exposed because Paul thought the reason why God used him was because he wasnโt weak, but God then exposed his weakness. Then he said when my weakness was exposed, I started crying unto God. This shows that Paul started doing some things but did not write it in the bible๐ค, he knew these things to be his secrets, dark issues/behaviours rather!! He asked God to remove all that, but God denied. He denied and said, my grace is sufficient for you, so Godโs Grace in Paulโs weakness, was causing the weakness to be dormant, so each time Paul would want to exalt Himself he would remove the grace, hence sickness be exposed.
Hence Paul would continuously ask for wisdom from God in that area which he lacked, so nomater how anointed you are you are weak, in fact the anointing exposes your weakness, so you dont ask wisdom from nowhere, you see where you lack, and from there you say give me this kind of a wisdom. Solomon needed interaction behaviour, but someone may not need it, someone needs financial, so when wisdom comes to a poor man…she will come as financial wisdom ๐๐ so her coming is determined by us.
So which area do you lack?because wisdom is coming to capacitate a place of your weakness and not a place of your strength, and whatever wisdom gives you…will come to bring balance and hide your weakness after exposing it to you, so you are exposed to you and not to the world but to you so that you may know you and when you know you then…wisdom comes to capacitate that weakness.
If you cant read and write…
wisdom will give you a woman or husband who can read and write because a place of your weakness becomes a place of your capacity when dealing with wisdom.
The seven pillars of wisdom:
Relm of God’s
Light
Holiness
Peace
Favour
Love
Justice
Glory
Wisdom is light glory justice love favour peace and holiness. Proverbs 9:1 wisdom has erected her seven pillars.
