The Holy Spirit this morning reminded me of the great value there is in the house of wisdom and why seeking for wisdom over years is the greatest asset we as His people have.

When we seek after wisdom wholeheartedly and begin to find it working in our lives things begin to change dramatically and the investment of time spent begins to pay off because wisdom has the ability to make something out of nothing. Luke.2:52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Now the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom and possesses all the wisdom there is necessary for progress in life and developing a relationship with Him is pivotal in experiencing the productivity of wisdom.

I am reminded of a time when I was seeking passionately after the Spirit of wisdom and I met a couple of guys in church who were interested in the spiritual gifts they possessed and were always talking about the fact that they had the gifts of healing or miracles and could do wonders that made people marvel at them.

The only thing was that they seemed to have no fruit of the Spirit. All boasting and competing whose gift was greater.

They asked me which of the gifts of the Spirit I had and I said none but that I was building a relationship with the Holy Spirit who owned and possessed all the gifts.

I was content to rest on knowing Him because if I had the giver of the gifts then I could experience all that He had rather than a gift which only dealt with one facet of life. I figured that I would be at a disadvantage if I had a singular gift. So what would I do when I had an issue outside my gift.

“Well that proved to be the most valuable advice the Holy Spirit gave me to answer them because in reality to have a gift is one thing. However, to have a relationship with the Owner of all gifts is far greater because He makes available to you whichever gift you need when it is necessary for the appropriate situation.

”It was as if satan was using every available believer/leader to accuse me on my walk with the Lord and disqualify me from the way the Holy Spirit was teaching me the practical principles of life for my future in the Kingdom.

These truths have proved invaluable to me as I navigated through much church hostility and persecution. The lessons I learned have become spiritual equipment for aiding young believers in their journey with the Lord and keeping them on the right path.

In Proverbs.21:20 we read these words In wisdom’s house you’ll find delightful treasures and the oil of the Holy Spirit. But the stupid squander what they’ve been given. The Holy Spirit reminded me that wisdom is a house which means it is far bigger than a singular event and because it has many rooms, there is a vast amount that puts it all together.

For that reason you will therefore find in it many delightful treasures all around. I have learnt by reason of experience there is much more available that is necessary which you will discover as you find wisdom in the various rooms.

“ Wisdom is not a singular event though it can solve individual events but I can assure you that you will need wisdom again so don’t rest on the magnitude of one event wisdom solved for you as your mark of grandeur.”

When you seek after wisdom who Jesus happens to be. 1 Corinthians.1:30. You will come to discover that you will be filled with so much treasure that solves life issues and quandaries, which also provides ways out of the most dangerous and perilous situations.

“Secondly you will find that in the house of wisdom there is the oil of the Holy Spirit which speaks of the anointing which removes burdens and destroys yokes, overcomes obstacles, always triumphs and has barrier breaking capacity and an earth shaking magnitude at your disposal to deal with anything that would rise up against you in judgment.”

This is the reason for a continuous pursuit of wisdom so you go on to possess the house of wisdom as opposed to just a word of wisdom which solves an immediate situation but has no answers for tomorrow’s troubles when they come and believe me they will come. Job.14:1 “Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble.

“Your priority is to build the house of wisdom for your life not your name or reputation because those will fade but wisdom will live over the grave of every human being because wisdom will never die as it is resurrection and life.”

I believe that from hearing these truths you will see how much of an investment giving time to building and seeking wisdom is. You will see just how lasting the results of wisdom are. Then you will make it the priority of your life and seek for the grace the Holy Spirit will make available for you to have the house of wisdom built into you.

This will make you become a dispenser of the nature and character of God in your generation, which will leave a legacy of God for your life that will always be speaking of your union with the Lord in Jesus. Amen.
