TRANSFORMATION IV: BEARING THE FRUIT OF
WISDOM
TEXT:
JAMES 3:17, Prov. 9: 10, James 1:5, Luk. 21: 15
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR EFFECTIVE AND FERVENT PRAYERS
1. As Christians and children of God, we are expected to be a people
living in absolute submission to the lord our God. As people of God,
we are expected to walk in the light of God. As faithful followers of
Christ, we are required to work for God wholeheartedly and in line
with the instructions of the leadership of the church. Our actions must
be seen in keeping with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
2. Christians are people of wisdom, because Jesus who is full of wisdom
indwells in them (Mark 6:2). Equally, Christ living in us by faith is both
the power and wisdom of God. wisdom is acquired and we equally
grow in wisdom. It is written about Christ, “And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was
upon Him “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour
with God and man” (Luk. 2: 40, 52).
So Jesus was “filled with wisdom” and increased in wisdom”. Why?
Because wisdom is the principal thing. Wisdom is a principal weapon
of our winning and dominion in life. The wisdom from above makes a
believer to be completely godly, gentle and generous in forgiving and
forbearing any wrong.it makes a believer to be sweet, soft, sincere
and strong in all his relationship with all people – believers and
unbelievers. It makes a believer to be easily entreated or yield to
reason. It makes a believer peace lover, promoter and maker. It
makes a believer to be looking for the good of others not for their
down fall.
3. Bearing the fruit of wisdom that comes from God brings a total
transformation to our lives. James 3:17 Amp says: “But the wisdom
from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving,
courteous (considerate, gentle), (it is willing to) yield to reason, full of
compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward,
impartial and unfeigned; free from doubts, wavering, and insecurity).
According to the Message Bible! Real wisdom, that is, God’s wisdom,
begins with a holy life and is characterised by getting along with
others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and
blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced.
4. Wisdom is knowledge with capacity to make use of it. Godly wisdom
is from God and honours God. Godly wisdom starts with the fear of
God and results in a holy life. Godly wisdom enables one to prepare
for eternity. With Godly wisdom, we trade earthly values for Biblical
virtues (1John 2:15-16). Godly wisdom helps and empowers us to see
life from God’s perspective and act accordingly. We can only live in
godly wisdom when we are committed to crucifying our flesh and living
in the spirit. No one is born wise, we must acquire wisdom from God
if we are to be truly wise (Ps. 119: 98-100; Col. 3:16). Equally, by
intentionally selecting wise people to be part of those who journey
through life with us (Prov. 13:20.
