The God advantage is enough for you to overtake. All
you need is the combination of divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding. There is a link between wisdom, knowledge and
understanding (the difference between right and wrong) that helps one to make
right choices); knowledge to drive out ignorance.
Wisdom is having a keen insight into life and the
ways of dealing with life’s issues; an understanding of practical skills of
life. It is also conduct that is orderly and morally upright. Wisdom is the
principal thing; therefore devote time to acquiring wisdom. The blessings of
wisdom include promotion; that is being lifted above your contemporaries; honor
which translates into respect; favor which translates into goodwill and
preferential treatment; glory which births radiance and beauty. The pursuit of
wisdom is therefore critical.
There are two kinds of wisdom, earthly wisdom and
heavenly wisdom (James Chapter 3 verses 13 to 18, Matthew Chapter 11 verse 19).
Earthly wisdom is the natural way of doing things. One of its key attributes is
that it is self seeking, envious and jealously competitive, and does not
celebrate the talents and victories of others. It is always creating confusion
and disorderliness. It cannot stand order. It is boastful and seeks to be
recognized.
Heavenly wisdom is not dubious, has no hidden agenda
and can be trusted. It is peaceable – live at peace with all men, gentle in
disposition, tolerant, merciful, produces good fruits and results. It is
sincere, no hypocrisy or lies.
Wisdom brings promotion that is not dependent on
age, education, expertise, experience. Rather, it is dependent on God. Daniel was ten times better because he
operated with the wisdom of God that God blessed him with. He received
astronomical promotion.
