3 Practical Biblical Steps to Wisdom

3 Practical Biblical Steps to Wisdom

The Value of Wisdom:
Wisdom is priceless Prov 4v7
Wisdom leads to life Prov 15v24
Wisdom brings prosperity Prov 8v18
Wisdom gives security Prov 4v6
Wisdom touches the whole person 1Ki 3v12
Wisdom results in right action Col 4v5
Wisdom results in watchfulness Mt 25v1-10

There are Three Key Words in the Book of Proverbs: Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom.
Knowledge: Acquiring facts about things as they are.
Understanding: Properly interpreting those facts.
Wisdom: Practically applying those facts to real life.

1. Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. (1 Cor. 1v24; Prov 1v20, 8v1, 9v1-5; Prov 9v10; Ps 111v10; Mt 10v28)

2. Wisdom prepares for the future, it doesn’t procrastinate in the present. (Prov 6v6-8; Mt 25v8; Mt 7v26; Gen 41v34)

Way of the Ant:
Self-motivation without external pressure
Timeliness without procrastination
Preparation for the future, not short-sighted

The 5 Marks of a Sluggard:
1. Procrastination (Prov 20v4)
2. Neglect of Duties (Prov 24v30-34).
3. Love of Sleep (Prov 6v9-11)
4. Making Excuses (Prov 22v13)
5. Lack of Initiative

The 5 Consequences of a Sluggard:
1. Poverty: Neglecting work and responsibilities leads to financial instability and lack (Prov 10v4)
2. Unfulfilled Needs: Needs remain unmet due to their inaction (Prov 20v4)
3. Ruin and Decay: Deterioration of one’s property and resources (Prov 24v30-34)
4. Public Dishonor: Poor reputation and scorn within the community (Prov 12v24)
5. Dependency: Dependent on others due to their unwillingness to take care of themselves.

3. Wisdom flees temptation, not flirts with it. (Prov 14v16, 16v6, 5v8)
Wisdom is more a moral quality rather than an intellectual one. Being "foolish" means being godless (Ps. 14v1; 2 Sam. 13v13).

Wisdom doesn’t just run from sin; it avoids situation that leads to sin.

I have been so foolish unfortunately. I felt lead to be vulnerable on here. But God’s had to give me multiple dreams about certain ways I’ve allowed myself to see others and behaviors.. He’s been so graceful to me. The only way I learned as a child was through punishment and pain. I’m an adult now, and need to walk in God’s wisdom. Take his rebuke and hold onto it tightly and learn from it. 🙏🏻

To Vlad and everyone at the church that has helped make this sermon possible, thank you. This message has edified me in ways that I cannot even imagine, and God gets all the glory! I hope this message helps others more than it has helped me. God bless you all! <3

Holy Spirit, direct me in my career, and finances. As a single mother with two children with special needs is an overwhelming journey, especially when faced with financial difficulties. Lord I struggle to provide the basic necessities for my sons, like groceries and rent. I pray for your divine intervention in my life, that you would provide for my children’s needs and guide me towards financial stability. I will keep faith in you Heavenly Father.

So I followed your 21 day fast at the beginning of the year - after an extremely traumatic experience and a very challenging 2023. I had come to the end of my faith - not in God - but in overcoming - I was defeated and out of answers. It was during the fast that the Lord led me to Job - and then proverbs and I absolutely fell in love with wisdom. During the 21 days - I came upon Job 28 and proverbs 8 - what treasures! I have been empowered in my spirit with the knowledge of the power of wisdom in my life. Through this sermon - I’m amazed that you have clearly been on the same journey through God’s word. It excites me and encourages me. Here’s the thing: The thing that is needed to overcome the 2nd beast in Rev13 is WISDOM - the 1st beast : endurance and faith - the 2nd beast - WISDOM. The Holy Spirit of God is beginning to call out to the Bride to ask for wisdom. Could we be entering into the days of the 2nd beast? All this to say - thank you for this message 🙏🏼

Give me wisdom father God.
Help me not to be deceived by the lies of the enemy, help me to apply the armor of God daily- to hunger for your word and spending time with you in reverence.
I’ve been a fool, I repent from leaning on my own understanding and doubting you in certain areas of my life.. thank you for the correction, thank you for the discipline, thank you for allowing me to be overtaken by the enemy because of my rebellion.

Cut out any branch in me that does not bare fruit for the kingdom of God.. in Jesus mighty name, amen. 🙏🏽
