I heard the story of a man of God of an experience he had with God as he was about to launch out in ministry. God told him, “I will not have you run like other men have run. Go and meet My servant so-and-so, let him lay hands on you, and you will be filled with the Spirit of wisdom.” God taught him to place the right value on wisdom.
Friend, wise people seek wisdom (Proverbs 4:7). The value you place on wisdom is a reflection of your maturity. The difference between success and failure, wealth and poverty, victory and defeat, is wisdom. When you place the right value on wisdom, you will begin to enjoy the best of life (Proverbs 4:8-9).
The more you grow in life and destiny, the simpler your life should become (Ecclesiastes 9:18). This is why the rich work less but get more. Those at the highest level in career and business do less physical work but get more pay. In the economy of greatness, the HOW is more important than the WHAT (Ecclesiastes 10:15).
Your prayer point is a reflection of your wisdom level (1 Kings 3:9). Fools and immature people ask for things; mature people ask for wisdom. Immature people ask God to do stuff for them. Mature people ask God to show them what to do. When your prayer point becomes that of wisdom, your life will get on the trajectory of progress (Proverbs 4:7-8).
You need to pursue wisdom more than anything else (Proverbs 4:7b). Fellowship with God (1 John 2:20, 27). Study the scriptures intentionally (2 Timothy 3:15). Relate with the wise (Proverbs 13:20). Place the right value on wisdom, and you will never be stranded in life. Amen!
