Godly Wisdom Moves you Ahead
Godly Wisdom is What You Need…
Human Wisdom is the ability to think and act in a productive manner using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insights. So human wisdom is generated from the world around us; from making sense of our world and applying our understanding of it to our living.
Satanic Wisdom comes from the devil. It is characterized by an unusual focus on self (James 3:16). It is limited and transient.
Godly wisdom is divine, supernatural and comes from God.
It can be divinely given on request, like in the case of Solomon (1Kings 3:11-14).
It can be inherited by virtue of being born of God.
Jesus was an embodiment of divine wisdom, when we receive Him, we inherit all that He is (Isaiah 11:2, 1 John 4:17).
Godly wisdom can be acquired through dedicated study of scriptures (Proverbs 1:6-7).
Godly Wisdom is Selfless.
It is pure, peaceful, gentle, considerate, compassionate, sincere (James 3:17).
It always comes to make people better.
Are you searching for wisdom?
What kind of wisdom are you pursuing after?
Do you think you are wise?
What sort of wisdom are you exhibiting?
Seek after Godly wisdom.
Operate and walk in Godly wisdom.
Godly wisdom will not only benefit others but will also bring you honor, promotion and greatness.
"Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her."
Proverbs 4:7-8 NKJV

Shalom!
By His Stripes
That’s why Jesus came; to destroy the works of darkness (1 John 3:8), abolish the requirements of the law (Colossians 2:14), take away the curse (Galatians 3:13-14), and instead of that sin/ death experience, He introduced the grace/life way of living (Romans 5:20-22, John 10:10, 1 Corinthians 15:22).
Get God Involved
It is a waste of time to get up early and stay up late, trying to make a living. The Lord provides for those he loves, even while they are sleeping.”
Be A Representative of Jesus
Whatever you do in Word or Deed, do all in the name of Jesus.

God Doesn’t Make Rash Promises
If a mere man like Herod would kill, and that against his will, just because he had committed to a pledge, how much more can God keep His Word?
