During a time of communion, the Holy Spirit reminded me of His deep desire to help us tighten our secure walk with the Lord by putting an end to the small compromises and subtle drifts that have previously cost us our triumph in Christ.
These minor lapses are often the entry points that satan exploits, particularly through last-minute offenses which arise with the aim to draw us out of position, by robbing us of our steadfastness in faith, with the ultimate aim of stealing the prize the Lord has set before us.
However, there is good news because the Holy Spirit is supplying the necessary grace to be steadfast, immovable, and unyielding, equipping us as followers of Jesus to refuse to hand over any ground taken to the enemy. This grace is designed by the Holy Spirit to enable us to fully partake of our divine inheritance, to thus glorify the Lord, and walk in the visible expressions of God’s marvelous works in our daily lives.
As followers of Jesus we are exhorted to open our hearts and yield fully to the Spirit of Wisdom, by allowing Him and not our natural or fleshly wisdom to direct every step we take. It is only through us being saturated in the Spirit of Wisdom that the triumph of the Lord becomes our consistent outcome.
The Holy Spirit emphasized the critical distinction between the Spirit of Wisdom and a word of wisdom. The Spirit of Wisdom is a Person Jesus Himself, while a word of wisdom is a single utterance from that Person. This distinction explains why the Apostle Paul continually prayed that followers of Jesus should be filled with the Spirit of Wisdom and have the eyes of their understanding enlightened (Ephesians 1:17–18).
A single word of wisdom is insufficient for navigating all areas of life because only total immersion in the Spirit of Wisdom enables followers of Jesus to fulfil God’s purpose in every situation.
The Holy Spirit then highlighted Proverbs 27:11, which reveals the Father’s joy when His children walk in wisdom, proving that His instruction has not been in vain. Wisdom is not merely a concept but a divine entity that we must walk in. 1 Corinthians.1:30.
This requires losing control of self, and embracing God’s abilities, by allowing His nature to permeate our lives. Such surrender marks a profound mindset shift, as it removes our human control and places our trust entirely in the Lord.
The nature of Wisdom is described in James.3:17 as being pure, peaceable, full of understanding, loving, kind, and gentle. These qualities serve as measurable fruit by which followers of Jesus can examine their walk, maintain accountability, and keep short accounts with the Lord. Notably, there is no pride in Wisdom, even though He knows and possesses all things.
The Holy Spirit reminded me that the Lord is filled with gladness when His own nature and character are expressed through His followers’ lives, clearly demonstrating that miraculous deeds are done by His power and not human strength. Jesus Himself modeled this, declaring that He did nothing of His own will but only reflected the Father’s will in all he did.(John 5:30).
A key revelation followed pointing to the fact that as followers of Jesus we are called to live by the voice of the Lord rather than merely the law of God. Jesus taught that His sheep know His voice and will not follow a stranger (John 10:4). He further affirmed that His judgments were righteous because He acted according to what He heard from the Father and not His desires. (John 5:30b).
The Spirit of Truth always guides us as followers of Jesus into all truth, not just a partial understanding, but the full reality of God’s will for our lives(John 16:13). Satan, though capable of quoting Scripture, attempted to tempt Jesus by questioning the integrity of the Father’s voice.
Jesus, however, stood firm in the truth spoken by the Father which had been spoken saying that “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”. This showed us how Jesus refused to be moved by satan’s manipulative questioning.
This reality underscores why walking in the Spirit of Wisdom is essential because it causes us as followers of Jesus to be hidden in God, with His nature revealed through us rather than our own limited nature. This wisdom cannot be resisted or overpowered (Acts 6:10).
When walking in Wisdom, as followers of Jesus we need not strive to sound spiritual or imitate godliness. Instead, we need to fully surrender our weaknesses by allowing them to be swallowed up by God’s strength working in us.
This posture proves unmistakably that we have not been taught in vain and that the Lord’s character is being reflected through us (Acts 4:13). As a result of this fact their light shines before men, bringing glory to the Father and producing fruit that remains.
In conclusion, as followers of Jesus strive to continue walking forward in the Spirit of Wisdom, by receiving every grace needed to master all obstacles, so you will increasingly reflect the true nature and character of Jesus in all your daily actions for the glory of the Father in Jesus name. Amen.
I declare that in the Name of Jesus Christ you will no longer drift through life due to subtle compromise or be robbed of triumph by last-minute offenses. I declare that you are being established as steadfast, immovable, and unwavering in your walk with the Lord.
In Jesus name the Spirit of Wisdom rests upon you and saturates your life. You will no longer walk by fleshly insight, but only by the voice of the Holy Spirit.
I declare that all your weaknesses are swallowed up by His strength, and the nature of Christ is clearly revealed through you. I decree that no strategy of the enemy will prevail against the wisdom of God working in you.
In Jesus name you will bear fruit that remains, thus bringing glory to the Father, as you walk fully into your divine inheritance where abundant grace is supplied causing Wisdom to lead so that only triumph follows your life in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
