THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT: Wisdom

It does not make any difference how much knowledge one has if he does not know how to use it. It goes without argument that there is enough knowledge given in a Bible Institute or Theological Seminary to make any minister a success. It is a sell evident fact, however, that the majority of them are failures. Their followers are not instructed in Righteousness. They ate continually seeking to be made holy and to have faith.

1 Cor. 1: 30 tells us that Jesus was made unto us wisdom. You see, wisdom a the ability to use knowledge so that it will be a blessing to the bearer. Col. 1.9 gives us a sample of Paul’s prayers, “That son may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. I hat is a remarkable statement, in all wisdom and all understanding.

No College can give wisdom. There is no chair of wisdom in any University. There are but two sources of wisdom, one from Satan and one from God. James tells us in James 3:15, “This wisdom is not a wisdom that comes down from above, but it is earthly, sensual and devilish.” The other wisdom comes down From above, and has all of the Characteristics that adorned the: life of Jesus. This wisdom belongs to every child of God. James, in speaking of it, said, “If any man lacketh wisdom let him ask of God,”
e is speaking of the babes in Christ. Paul is writing to the full grown believer.

This wisdom is available for every crisis of life, just as His strength, His grace and love are available. This wisdom really grows out of love. It is love at work in your daily life.
I look upon wisdom as the rarest gift that love brought with Redemption.
