Three kinds of wisdom.



“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of
the princes of this world, that come to nought” 1 Corinthians 2:6(KJV) 

In our opening scripture, we see that there are three kinds of wisdom. First he says we speak 
wisdom among the perfect; this wisdom refers to the wisdom of God. Secondly, we speak not the 
wisdom of this world, so there is a wisdom of this world. Thirdly, we see that there is the wisdom of 
the princes of this world. 

Therefore, the three kinds of wisdom we see in our opening scripture are: the wisdom of God, 
natural human wisdom and demonic wisdom. Those are the three kinds of wisdom.

The natural human wisdom tells you to save all you can and can all you get. And there are some 
people who live their lives by such wisdom and they never give. They don’t even know what it 
means to give an offering. This is because natural human wisdom says. “If you give it away, it is 
gone away from you.” It is the wrong kind of wisdom. You are not to live your life by such wisdom 
as a child of God.

There was a time I went to see someone and I saw a book on the leadership of the mafia and I 
started reading it. When I read to a point in the book, I stopped reading it because I saw that it was 
teaching the wisdom of the princes of this world. But yet, there are some Christians who will read 
that kind of book on the leadership of the mafia and practice it in Church. Thus, bringing the practice 
of demonic wisdom into the Church. So, it matters what you read because when you take in such 
things into your spirit, they are spiritual poison and they contaminate your spirit making you 
ineffective as a child of God.

Prayer
Dear Father, I receive strength from your Spirit in my inward man to be able to do what I should do
and refuse to do what I shouldn't do. I turn from my own way and I cease from my own wisdom.
Expose every seed of falsehood that has entered into my belief system in Jesus Name. Amen.

Further Study
James 3:15-17, James 1:5, Colossians 3:16.

Doing the word
If you know you've exposed yourself to the wrong wisdom; human or demonic, turn from it today
and instead walk by the wisdom of the Word of God.
