I KNOW THE DWELLING PLACES OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING

I KNOW THE DWELLING PLACES OFWISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.




Job 28: 12 -15 “But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?”Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.



Job 28:20-23 “Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.”



Job 28:28 “And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”



A certain man after appraising his life concluded that since there seem to be no helper to assist him to accomplish his set goals in life, he would seek wisdom.



He set machinery in motion to seek / locate the dwelling places of wisdom and understanding. As he fasted, studied the scriptures, meditated on scriptures, a day came, he stumbled on some verses of the scriptures in the book of Job 28.



The reality of the situation, condition struck him that he has been going about it the wrong way. He had visited place with beggarly powers seeking to get wisdom. While on his search, for wisdom, he lost money possession, family, job, business, etc. Yet he persisted.



After receiving the revelation imbedded in the scriptures, he then realized that there is a place wisdom can be found and understanding also has a dwelling place.



He further discovered that the FEAR OF GOD and OBEYING HIS COMMANMENTS are the short cut to get to the dwelling places of wisdom and understanding.



He finally discovered that to get wisdom and understanding, you must fear God and obey His commandments; He will then take you by hand and lead you to the dwelling places of wisdom and understanding.



God grant me wisdom and understanding that will make my enemies not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which I will speak in Jesus name.



O Lord give me a mouth and wisdom, which all my adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist in Jesus name..
