DIVINE WISDOM IS PROFITABLE

Bible Texts: Pro.3:19-20, Pro.4:7, Jas.3:13-17, Jn.5:39, 2Tim.2:15, Jn.14:26, Is.58:8, Eph.1:18-19, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19, Jn.15:5, Gal.5:22-23, Jn.10:10

One of the keys the husbandman needs to be useful as the good and godly man, husband and father is divine wisdom. That is the wisdom that comes from God which is contained in the word of God.

The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, by understanding hath he established the heavens. By knowledge the depths are broken up and the clouds drop down the dew (Pro.3:19-20)

Wisdom is and will always remain a profitable tool for the husbandman. The husbandman needs wisdom as much as he needs foods or clothes. Without divine wisdom, the husbandman will be defeated, frustrated and will struggle to be useful to himself, at home and in the market place.

But what is divine wisdom that makes the husbandman a profitable vessel?

But who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 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. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy (Jas.3:13-17)

Divine wisdom is the wisdom that comes from the word of God. This means searching to know, understanding what is discovered and doing what has been discovered and understood. As the husbandman, you must not only seek to know, you must also understand and act on what you know. It is your action or application of what you understood that makes you wise. It is the combination of knowledge, understanding and wisdom that establishes your ministry as the good and godly husbandman.

Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding (Pro.4:7)

The wisdom that comes from the word of God and at work in your life makes you bear the fruits of mercy, kindness, patience, compassion, forgiveness, hope, and faith (Gal.5:22-23).

Therefore, as the husbandman who wants to continue to grow in his assignment as the good and godly man, husband and father, you must give attention to the word of God by studying it with the intention to know (Jn.5:39, 2Tim.2:15). And as you get the knowledge, you engage the Person of the Holy Spirit to open your eyes of understanding (Jn.14:26, Is.58:8, Eph.1:18-19). Thereafter, you engage the force of prayer so that you can be empowered to do exactly what God commands from His word (Deut.28:1, Philp.2:13, Jn.15:5).

The wisdom from God is better than the wisdom of man and it is enduring and profitable. And the Bible is the gateway to accessing the wisdom of God for your profiting as the good and godly man, husband and father.

Hallelujah!
