THE SUPREMACY OF WISDOM

August 13, 2014 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Prov24:5- 'Being wise is better than being strong; yes, knowledge is more important than strength. GNT

Israel fought a six-day war with four arab nations in 1967, Israel deployed 100,000 troops and their enemies deployed 240,000 troops. Their enemies suffered greater casualties because they approached the war with strength and energy but Israel won because of military wisdom&strategy.

Victory was made possible for them because wisdom was at work in the commanding general. Wisdom is greater than strength, you cannot compare a wise man with a strong man. Most strong men are working as labourers under wise men that won't lift a finger but rather give work portions. Every problem in life is a pointer to the deficiency of wisdom in

that area, not the lack of strength.

God is the giver of wisdom and we need to ask him to daily supply wisdom when we are in need of it. Another means by which we can acquire wisdom is to be mentored by wise men and read their books. When you company with the wise, wisdom will rob-off on you, place a high premium on wisdom, it will pay-off for you.

Action point
  • Father, I receive wisdom in all areas of my life, In Jesus Name.
