In part (5) of this series, I informed that God views the population of the WORLD to consist of two (2) sets of people. That is, the people of GOD and the people of the WORLD. Read write up (5) for more.
For today, the view of God concerning the WORLD is that the WORLD is made of:
1. those driven by the wise WISDOM of the WORD of God.
The wise WISDOM of the WORD of God centres around the person of JESUS CHRIST.
2. those driven by the foolish wisdom of the WORLD.
The foolish WISDOM of the WORLD centres around SELF and SATAN.
The view of God is that those who have accepted and live by the wise WISDOM of His WORD in Christ in the WORLD are the wise ones in the WORLD. Those who do not live by it are foolish in the WORLD. (1 Corinthians 3:18-20).
This is because, Christ is the power and WISDOM OF GOD in the WORLD. (1 Corinthians 1:24-31).
That is because, the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto SALVATION in the WORLD. (Romans 1:15-17).
The wise WISDOM of God for living victoriously and successfully in Christ in the WORLD is inspiringly written and recorded in the BIBLE by holy men as they are moved by the SPIRIT OF GOD. (2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).
Therefore, as many who are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD by the WORD OF GOD in Christ in the WORLD are the wise and true SONS OF GOD in the WORLD and are not under the LAW, but under GRACE. (Romans 8:14-30; Galatians 5:16-26).
This means that your being a CHILD OF GOD in Christ in the WORLD do not automatically make you a wise person and the SON (or DAUGHTER) OF GOD in Christ in the WORLD. Your Son-ship or daughter-ship of God in Christ in the WORLD is determined by:
the degree to which you ALLOW the SPIRIT OF GOD in you to LEAD you with the WORD OF GOD in the WORLD. (Romans 8:14).
the degree to which you have SEPARATED yourself from the things of the WORLD. (2 Corinthians 6:14-21).
God views the WISDOM of the WORLD as foolishness because the WISDOM of the WORLD cannot give you and I real victory and success over Self, Sinner and Satan (cum demons) in the WORLD. Mostly when the real challenges of life shows up our way in the WORLD and every known knowledge, understanding and wisdom of the WORLD fails and disappoints. The wise WISDOM of God in His WORD has proven faithful and reliable. Halleluyah! (James 1:1-15).
That is why King David says thy (God's) commandments has made him WISER than his ENEMIES. That he has more understanding than all his teachers and the ancients (in the WORLD because of the WORD and SPIRIT of God in Him). (Psalm 119:97-105).
Many genuine CHILDREN OF GOD in Christ in the WORLD has not come to that conclusion and understanding of King David. Therefore, they still magnify the WISDOM of the WORLD (be it professional, business principle, philosophy, tradition, culture, etc wisdom) above the WISDOM of God in the WORD OF GOD in Christ. This is the primary reason for the mass failure and falling of the Children of God in Christ in the WORLD today.
Apostle Paul counsels YOU and I thus that we should BEWARE lest any man spoil us through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men, after the rudiments (principles) of the WORLD and not after Christ. For we are COMPLETE in Christ. (Colossians 2:8-10).
He further counsels YOU and I not to CONFORMED to this WORLD, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our mind (from the foolish wisdom of the world to the wise wisdom of the word of God), so that we would be able to prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God (concerning anything in our lives in the world). (Romans 12:1,2).
As a genuine CHILD OF GOD in Christ in the WORLD, whose WISDOM are you applying in running your life, marriage, family, career, business, parenting, etc in the WORLD? (Matthew 7:24-27).
Has the WORD OF GOD shape your thinking, speaking and living in such a way that you cannot do without it in the WORLD? (Deuteronomy 8:3; Joshua 1:8; James 3).
Your sincere answers to the above timely questions and your appropriate adjustments will determine your SURVIVAL and SUCCESS in the WORLD. (Matthew 7:24-27; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 19:7-14).
Always remember as a CHILD OF GOD in Christ that where the WISDOM OF THE WORLD stops is where the WISDOM OF THE WORD OF GOD begins. This is because the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisest wisdom of the world. (1 Corinthians 1:17-31; 1 Corinthians 3:18-20; 1 Corinthians 2:1-8).
The proofs of the foolishness of the WISDOM OF THE WORLD and the wise-ness of the WORD OF GOD are seen every day in the WORLD, where the swift, strong, wise, men of understanding and skilled of the WORLD are failing and falling in their WISDOM to successfully run their lives, families, organisations and nations in the WORLD. (Ecclesiastes 9:11).
Do you lack godly WISDOM? Ask God for it in faith and it will be given you freely. (James 1:5-8).
Also, spend quality and quantity time in the studying and taking in of the WORD OF GOD by the help of the SPIRIT OF GOD into you above any other material daily and you will surely become wiser, smarter and honourable than all your family members, friends, colleagues, associates, foes, etc in the WORLD like David, Jabez, Joseph, Esther and Moses, who chose (that is, yielding to godly wisdom) to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy (that is, not yielding to ungodly wisdom) the pleasures of SIN for a season in Egypt (in the World). Sure you will! (Colossians 3:16; Acts 19:20; Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 119; 1 Chronicle 4: 9,10; Hebrews 11:23-27).
Don't be foolish before God in this WORLD. You are already created COMPLETE by God in Christ. You already have in Christ, the wise WISDOM to live victoriously and successfully in the WORLD, irrespective of your background, educational qualifications, connections, exposure, failures, etc. Yes, you have it already! (Colossians 2:8-10; Ephesians 2:5-10 ; 2 Peter 1:1-4).
Victory and Success is already in you by the HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST in you. That the same Spirit of God that moved at the beginning when God was creating the World and our first parents (Adam and Eve) in the WORLD. You have the keys (wise wisdom of God in Christ) to Survival and Success in this WORLD already.
Just wake up to the reality of WHO you are in Christ (that is, your personality and potentials in Christ) and WHAT you are in Christ (that is, your purpose/work in Christ on earth). Then, develop yourself by the leading of the Holy Spirit along that line, ministry, career and business wise and all will be history sooner or later. I guarantee you, you will win in this WORLD beyond your widest dream and expectation like Joseph, Daniel, Esther and others. Yes, you will! (Colossians 1:27; Colossians 2:8-10; Matthew 16:18,19; Galatians 3:13,14; Ephesians 2:5-10).
Enjoy your day!
God bless you.
