HEED THE VOICE OF WISDOM - PART 8

SATURDAY 24 MAY 2025

We can ask the Holy Spirit for His valuable enablement in fathoming a spiritual mystery, like the voice of wisdom, something so mysteriously rewarding.

As we engage His influential capability and unlimited conception in fathoming the unsearchable secrets of the Divine wisdom, and do so with untiring zeal and consistency, we would sing and shout for joy oftentimes. Praise God!

Thankfully, the frequency of my operation in the bestowment of His grace based on the empowering realm of "fathoming proclivity" has been sufficiently incremental. Hallelujah!

Reference: Proverbs 1:32-33 Common English Bible (CEB)

"For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."

Listening to the voice of Divine wisdom is the appreciable birth-right of every born again Christian and it comes with a gladdening and gainly fulfilment because we profit by it. A born again Christian is the saintly person who has experienced the new birth through the virtue of salvation in Christ, which created or induced a shout of joy in heaven, thereby stirring eternal and living hope within the new heart; and in Christ Jesus, we sustain the abiding conviction of the voice of wisdom we have received. 

To expound further, during salvation, a born again Christian received the weighty wisdom of God which is from above, having believed the preaching of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. To instantiate this notable verity, 1st Corinthians 1:20-24 reads:

Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God (NIV).

Beloved, through Lord Jesus Christ, true wisdom incarnates Himself in us, meaning that He is the embodiment of our wisdom. Got it? So Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God, is made manifest or comprehensible within the earthen vessels of those whom God has called. This is exactly the end description of the above versified passage: "But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." In addition, who is Christ, the wisdom from God? As the wisdom incarnate, the book of James decrypted His characteristic description in this manner: 

"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere" (James 3:17 ESV).

Now watch this: This wisdom, namely Christ, has a voice. The voice is a saving authority that guarantees divine safety because the wisdom incarnate is a Sovereign Lord and a Saviour. Simply put, the Lord Jesus saves! To that effect, Solomonic inspired utterance evident in our referenced Scripture stated that "whoever listens to the voice of this wisdom will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."

The voice of Divine wisdom denotes the magnitude of supreme and powerful authority. It is a sound code from parental excellence. Again, this is the reason the Proverbial recipient was mainly addressed as "My son" by King Solomon. Sons don't argue with such symbolic sound or voice; they must action the dictates or make its principles a practical dictum, because it is the will of a Father. In the same manner, Pauline epistolary expression numbered as 1st Corinthians 1:30 reveals that: "God has united us with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made Him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; He made us pure and holy, and He freed us from sin." Got it? Having made us right with God, we became God's own children of righteousness and holiness, and we deify Him by honouring the voice of wisdom. Got it? 

As true sons, we obey the voice of true wisdom, namely Christ, which is always in accordance with the perfect will of God, the Father. Hallelujah! Now watch this: In accordance with voice translation of Johannine literature numbered as John 6:63, the "wisdom incarnate" Himself noted: "The words I have been teaching you are spirit and life." By my literal paraphrase, the voice of wisdom, denoting the words and teachings of Christ, is not made of ordinary informational wordings; it is replete with spirit and life, because it is an official message that hosts, affirms and acknowledges the force of our Heavenly Father's will, and I will expound on the sufficient apposite analysis in the next article. Shalom!

Exuberant Declaration:

Through the intimate cognizance of the Holy Spirit, I properly function in divine wisdom, by which the desires and perfect will of my heavenly Father's heart are made known to me - implying the most profound spiritually-empowered advantage through which I can receive every good and perfect gift from above. Praise God!
