BUY SOME VIRTUES - PART 6

THURSDAY 08 OCTOBER 2026

To have an ingrained habit sponsored by divine truth, eternal Word must become a huge prevailing influence in every aspect of your life. To that effect, Jesus noted in Johannine literature numbered as John 17:17 that His Father's Word is the truth. It reads, "teach them your word, which is truth" (NLT). 

If last Adam suggested that His Father should teach us His word which is truth, then we must be willing to become long-term motivated learners by continued study for accurate divine knowledge acquistion because last Adam's Father heard His Son clearly. 

One thing is sure: His Father is a great, wonderful teacher and He equally enhances our long-term truth retention as well as improves our observatory or discerning comprehension to higher degrees - by the enabling influence of His Spirit. More below!

Reference: Proverbs 23:23 New International Version (NIV)

"Buy the truth and do not sell it—wisdom, instruction and insight as well."

The next versified segment to be expounded by my humble self is:

"Buy wisdom." 

There is a truth called wisdom. In other words, eternal truth can manifest itself in form of divine wisdom, and in today's article, my expository insight will grant us exposure to this wisdom, which is all about adding new learning dimension to your existing divine knowledge, with an increased capacity to consciously apply it in various situational activities considered as earthly events and functionalities.

What is divine wisdom? Wisdom is simply a defence, and the main advantage is that it preserves those who have it (Ecclesiastes 7:12  NIV). One of the most powerful implications of divine wisdom is that it is increasingly pivotal to being successful or in signalling progressive pathways because it is profitable to direct (Ecclesiastes 10:10 KJV). Great characters and noble personalities have portrayed this wisdom, and many a person has greatly benefitted from their wisdom. In addition, prayer for divine wisdom is biblically warranted, meaning that it is a legitimate spiritual request (James 1:5 NIV). Supreme Deity is the unparalleled signatory to this profound virtue and a person who asks wholeheartedly and prayerfully [without wavering] will assuredly secure such a divinely-gifted favour, without a rejection or resistance. 

A person who is courteously conscious of divine wisdom displays an ardent observance of an excellence of critical thinking analysis, in the sense that such wisdom empowers its portrayer with an ennobling influence to precisely establish a worthwhile consideration that weighs complex choices in any given situation, and then focuses on how, when and where to implement the right choice or decision in a real-life situation, instead of making moves by habitual human comprehension that could [most times] play out as a flop.

James 3:17 noted the unchanging qualities of this very effective wisdom, and it reads, "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 insincerity" (AMPC).

What have you noticed in the above versified passage? The evaluation of this wisdom is reasonably structured, and I come with an informed study approach that emphasizes on its appealing features. Let's study and examine the essentially-informed structure:

1. It is first of all pure (undefiled).

2. It is peace-loving.

3. It is courteous (considerate, gentle).

4. It is willing to] yield to reason.

5. It is full of compassion and good fruits. 

6. It is unwavering, without [self-righteous] 

7. It is without hypocrisy [and self-serving guile].

These structural factors reflect a heightened measure of its impact and influences. And in today's article, I'll be observing, exploring and expounding the first aforementioned characteristic which is:

Divine wisdom is first of all pure (undefiled).

In other words, it is a wisdom from above characterized by Aether, meaning that its immaculate purity comes with certainty of perfection, far above the ordinary human realm. In ancient Greek philosophy, Aether is an observed heavenly substance emerging above the atmospheric air in the heavens. Hence, in favour of this very characteristic, we can acknowledge that this wisdom can exist by itself above, independent of any human direct acquisition, veritable perception or empirical observation, but we need to buy and relate with it. Simply put, the saints are the very reason it is evidentially functional in the earth realm, otherwise it would've been undoubtedly absent in this world. Got it? 

Why did the book of James outstandingly recognise an atmospheric and an environmental condition while emphasizing on this wisdom? There is assured need that carefully described such identified recognition, vitally considered as noticeable acknowledgement, because there is no lasting success on earth without a heaven's help. When the last Adam was made unto us the personification of divine wisdom, He equally uttered a hint that separated Him from that earthly inspired wisdom and it reads, "He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all" (John 3:31 KJV).

Beloved, the "earthborn" wisdom is an undignified outstanding foolishness in the sight of Supreme Deity because it is delimitly characterized by angry demons, initiating dark streams of jealousy, plus selfish emergence and its practical demonstration in any mankind that has subscribed to such wisdom (see James 3:15 NIV), and because it is earthbound, it communicates the "earthly language" signals such as chaos and evil works of darkness which thrive under its rule, but the "heavenborn" wisdom is in an exalted state and CLASS of its own... Are you with me?

Stay tuned for the continued admirable "revelatory exposition" of divine wisdom in my next article, a considerable virtue, gloriously insightful to be a huge blessing to your spirit man. Shalom!

Guided Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I'm forever grateful because my mind and spirit have been indisputably immersed into the wealthy knowledge of your divine wisdom through the profundity of clearly heard whispers and utterances from the Spirit of truth, translated into divinely-inspired writings, for this is what I hear, teach and speak, not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words, in Jesus' name, Amen.
