Wisdom- The intelligence of the Spirit.

“Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.” 
Genesis 41:33(KJV)

When you have wisdom at work in you, it refines your speech. You will know the right answer to give everyone that you meet.

This was evident in the life of Joseph when he stood before Pharaoh, the Bible says in Genesis 41:15-16, “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”  

Joseph was not braggadocios. He knew how to speak wisely because he had ethical intuition at work in him.

Wisdom is “intuitive intelligence inspired by the working of God's Spirit in an individual.” This was seen in the life of Joseph because when Pharaoh told Joseph his dream, Joseph didn't pray but yet he knew the interpretation.

How did he know it? It was supernaturally inspired by the working of God's Spirit inside of him and he knew the right answer to give instantly.

Therefore, wisdom is the outworking of the intelligence of the Spirit. So if you are functioning by wisdom, there should be some measure of intelligence and ethical behavior evident in your life.

PRAYER
Thank you dear Father for the outworking of the Spirit of wisdom in my life granting me intuitive intelligence and ethical intuition in all my affairs in Jesus Name. Amen.
