WHO ARE THE WISE MEN AND WOMEN?


Characteristics of wise men and women who possess wisdom; they hear the word of God and practise it by properly applying these words to all situations.The wise fear the Lord and keep His commandments. Prov 3:13 says 'Happy is the man that findeth wisdom', and wisdom according to Prov 2:6 is given from the Lord. If you don't already possess wisdom, ask from the Lord and it shall be given to you.(James 1: 5-6)
Also, the wise are those who seek after Jesus like the Magi (Matt 2:2). The wise are prepared for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ just like the five wise virgins (Matt 25:4-10).  Your level of preparation for the coming of our Saviour is directly proportional to your wisdom.

The wise believe that there is a home beyond and we are currently sojourners on the earth consequently, they build their treasures on things which are eternal (Matt 6:19). Jesus promised us that he has gone to prepare mansions (John 14:3) for us therefore there will be a day of reckoning when we are all called to account of our pilgrimage on earth. When the Lord sees you, would He say 'welcome home, my faithful servant?'
 
Be prepared by getting involved in kingdom assignment, giving sacrificially and living a holy life. Be prepared by putting God first in everything, seeking the kingdom first and allowing others to follow in line with the Lords' will (Matt 6:33). It is essential that you bear fruits by evangelising and winning souls (Prov 11:30) for the Kingdom and also ensuring that your fruits remain, that is, follow-up the converts. 

You can increase in wisdom if you fellowship continually with the Lord, if you seek to learn at His feet. In Luke 10:39 - 42, Mary sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word but when Martha, Mary's sister complained to Jesus that Mary did not assist her in cooking and serving, our Lord Jesus Christ replied saying, 'But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her'.

Some of the many advantages of having wisdom:
1. It brings happiness Prov 3:13
2. It helps you to fear and reverence God Prov 1:16
3. It preserves you Prov 4:6
4. It enables you build your home Prov 14:1
5. It makes you relevant amongst decision makers
6. It gives life Eccl 7:12
7. It makes you to become meek James 3:17
Prayer
I refuse to be a fool. Father, endow me with sufficient wisdom so that I can be among the wise in Jesus name. Amen.
