The Prevailing Wisdom 2

God’s wisdom works; it is the prevailing wisdom. In Genesis 26, the Bible records that there were famine and people went down to Egypt in search of greener pastures, but Isaac hearkened to the wisdom of God and dwelt in Gerar. While others might have complained and given excuses for their inability to sow because of the famine, he laid hold of God’s wisdom and sowed in Gerar and received in the same year, a hundredfold increase and grew until he became very great. In 1 Samuel 1:5, Hannah had been going to Shiloh annually with her family, but a time came when the wisdom of God caused her to separate herself and pray fervently to God for a male child. By hearkening to that wisdom, she did not only become a mother of a notable prophet in Israel, but God also added five more children to her. Hallelujah!

In Genesis 30:31-43, Jacob manifesting God’s wisdom through an unusual insight, knew how to breed the kind and colour of cattle that enabled him to overturn Laban’s gimmicks. Joseph became a voice in a strange land via the spirit of wisdom at work in him. Even Pharaoh knew that such a manifestation could only be by the Spirit of God. He said, “Can we find such a one as this is?” (Genesis 41:38).

Child of God, it is time for you to soar by divine wisdom. Your mind is alive and your spirit is able to receive illumination from above because it is linked with the Spirit of God (Job 32:8). What you receive from books and educational resources are facts and facts have no control over darkness. It is only the light of God that can subdue darkness. So go for the wisdom of God. You have His word with you.
