WORDS OF WISDOM
PASTOR'S PAGE
ORIGINALLY WRITTEN: AUGUST 5, 1979
JAMES 3:17 BUT THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE IS FIRST PURE, THEN
PEACEABLE, GENTLE, AND EASY TO BE ENTREATED, FULL OF MERCY, AND GOOD
FRUITS WITHOUT PARTIALITY, AND WITHOUT HYPOCRISY.
NOTICE THE SIX INGREDIENTS THAT ARE IN “WISDOM” THAT COMES FROM GOD.
PURITY, PEACEABILITY, GENTLENESS, EASILY ENTREATED, MERCIFUL, GOOD
FRUITS.
THEN TAKE NOTICE OF THE “TWO THINGS” THAT WISDOM FROM GOD LACKS!
PARTIALITY AND HYPOCRISY.
HOW IMPORTANT IT IS IN OUR CHRISTIAN WALK TO LEAVE SOME WORKS OUT OF OUR
LIFE. THE WORKING OF THE FLESH WE MUST DO WITHOUT!
THEN AGAIN WE MUST HAVE SOME THINGS “IN.” BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT
DEFINITELY IN. BEING BORN AGAIN DEFINITELY IN.
DID YOU TAKE NOTICE OF JAMES IN THE THIRD CHAPTER VERSE 15? THIS CHAPTER
VERSE TELLS US ABOUT “EARTHLY WISDOM” IT HAS THREE INGREDIENTS –
EARTHINESS, SENSUALITY, DEVILISHNESS.
ALL THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD IS “FOOLISHNESS” TO GOD. SO CONSIDER THE
FOOLISHNESS OF THE INGREDIENTS OF WORLDLY WISDOM.
IF YOU LACK GOD’S WISDOM ASK HIM FOR HE UPBRAIDETH NOT THOSE WHO ASK.
BUT HE GIVES FROM THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART. IT PLEASES GOD TO GIVE US
WISDOM.
MAY THE LORD INCREASE YOU GREATLY IN THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE. AMEN!
LOVE
IN CHRIST, PASTOR JO VAH
