SOLOMONIC WISDOM - PART 6

TUESDAY 03 JUNE 2025

For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things (NIV). I marvel at His wisdom, in creating and establishing all of creation; a true wisdom perceived by those who desire to experience it richly. This wisdom was instrumental in setting forth Christ's Kingdom in the times of the apostles, and its enlargement - by the Great Commission.

To that effect, Pauline epistolary expression numbered as 1st Corinthians 1:24 reads, "But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God" (NLT). In other words, Christ is known as the "power and wisdom" branch of the Lord; His Kingdom being demonstrated by His power, and flourishing by divine wisdom - is wholly ascribed to God's praise and glory.

The wider teaching ministry of Christ introduced the Great Commission, which is far beyond the scope of Solomonic wisdom. But how does this connect to Solomonic wisdom? More below!

Reference:  1st Kings 4:29-30 Amplified Bible (AMP)

"Now God gave Solomon [exceptional] wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand of the seashore. Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the sons of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt."

The great commission is a Kingdom principle that makes us wise. To that effect, Mark 16:15 reads, 'And He said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation"' (ESV). By the grace of God, embracing the call of "winning souls" is significant of being endued with true wisdom, and so, it makes us godly-wise, because those who are wise after this world [or the worldly-wise] count "preaching the Cross of Christ" as foolishness. To instantiate this verity, Pauline revelation concerning the message of the Cross 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" (1 Corinthians 1:20-21 NIV).

Although it is not "many a man" in our generation that is deemed wise with the wisdom which is from above, moreover, to function in true wisdom is to understand the mystery behind the Great commission - as an ardent participator, which is rooted in bearing the fruit of righteousness. To that effect, Solomonic inspired utterance numbered as Proverbs 11:30 reads, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise" (NKJV).

Beloved, Solomonic wisdom acknowledges that the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives. Therefore, through the saving grace of God made available to us, we can offer a wiser help, in that we can save the lost souls and deliver them from the domain of darkness and evil bondage which is implied in the word "salvation." Stay tuned for part 7. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - 1 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 2:3; Luke 2:40; Matthew 13:54; Mark 6:2.

Exuberant Declaration:

I am called and chosen to experience all the earthly demonstrations of Christ's wisdom, righteousness and holiness, by preaching the message of the Cross to the lost souls. Praise God!
