WISDOM FROM ABOVE

TYPES OF WISDOM II
James 3:14-15 NKJV
“But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.”
Everyman has some measure of wisdom and a type or kind of wisdom as well. In life, whatever level you find yourself per time is a reflection of the kind of wisdom you are operating with. There is a wisdom from above and there is a wisdom from beneath. Yesterday we looked at two kinds of wisdom, but there are still two other kinds of wisdom to consider:
3. Devilish wisdom
It is what people call demonic wisdom. It is the wisdom behind diabolism, it is the wisdom behind satanic operations and wickedness. Many people resort to demonic help when they need to forge ahead in life. It is a very foolish form of wisdom that will cost you your peace, joy and happiness. Whatever will harm your future is demonic wisdom, whatever will harm your fellow man is demonic, and whatever will destroy your eternity is demonic wisdom. This kind of wisdom puts you against God and ultimately sends you to hell fire at the end. It is for wizards or witches, native doctors, and people who worship water spirits, etc.
4. Wisdom from Above
This is divine wisdom, it is supernatural wisdom and it is the wisdom from the scriptures; the word of God. This wisdom is from above, from God, who is above all. If you operate a wisdom from above, you will certainly be above everyone with any other kind of wisdom. With the wisdom of God for finances, business, relationships, marriage and any other kind of venture, you cannot be at the same level with your peers or contemporaries. This is the secret of excellence and progress in life.
Subscribe to the wisdom of God today and be above all in Jesus Name.
Action Points
i. Reject all non-bible-based wisdom or ideas that will hurt your future, people and your eternity from today.
ii. Commit yourself to a daily routine of word therapy from today.
Prayer
-Lord I ask for grace and wisdom of daily word study in Jesus Name.
-I reject demonic and satanic wisdom in Jesus Name.
-I receive the grace to extract wisdom from your word in Jesus Name.
Nugget
With the wisdom of God for finances, business, relationships, marriage and any other kind of venture, you cannot be at the same level with your contemporaries.
