WISDOM IS SPIRITUAL

“Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:” 
Ephesians 1:16-17(KJV)

From our opening scripture, Paul the Apostle prayed for the Ephesian Church to have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. This therefore proves to us that wisdom is a spiritual thing.

Wisdom is not physical.  It is spiritual. Wisdom is different from information. Information is the transference of knowledge. For instance, you can get knowledge from reading a book, but wisdom is spiritual because wisdom is received by divine insight.

Wisdom refines character. In James 3:13 the Bible says, “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” Here we see that one of the signs of wisdom is meekness, which is humility.

James 3:14-15 says, “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” In other words, the Bible is saying to you that if you allow envying and strife or anger into your life, it will corrupt your wisdom.

When people expose themselves to bitter envying and strife, they start having wicked(devilish) ideas. This is because, their wisdom has been corrupted. Therefore, I encourage you to protect your heart from bitter envying, and strife so that God's wisdom can flow through you without being corrupted.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you is at work in me today in the name of Jesus. I receive divine insight into every hidden detail that has to do with my life in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read: 
Daniel 1:17-20, Daniel 5:11, James 3:17-18.

DOING THE WORD
Please forgive from your heart everyone who has wronged  you so that nothing corrupts the flow of God's wisdom in your life.
Please read Proverbs chapter 4.
