Wisdom is one sure way to lead the productive and influential life God has made available for us. Although, the wisdom of God has been made available to everyone in Christ, yet, most Christians lack the expression of this principal virtue. The bible shows that the Christian have the wisdom of God in its totality.
Text :1corinthians1:30
1But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. !
christ Jesus our wisdom.Wisdom is more than just a way of reasoning, wisdom is a person! You are not wise because of the way you think, you are wise because Christ who is the wisdom of God lives in you.
The Apostle James addressing the brethren in chapter one verse five of his epistle writes, “If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." We need to study the bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and with the understanding that no prophesy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. If you read the above scripture in isolation, you may be misled into thinking that some Christians lack wisdom, hence they need to ask for it. With all due respect, that is far from the truth. The truth is that no Christian lack wisdom, because Christ has been made unto us wisdom from God, Christ has become our wisdom. What the Apostle James was talking about, was not the lack of the possession of wisdom, but the lack of the expression of it He then admonishes those Christians who lacked the expression of the wisdom of God in them,to pray for God to grant them the ability to express it.
"You are not wise because of the way you think, you are wise because Christ who is the wisdom of God lives in you"
prayers therefore, help in activating the wisdom of God in you.
Text:1 Corinthians 2:7
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.
The wisdom of God that we received, when we accepted Christ, is inherent and in a potential state. This simply means, that you have it does not mean you can use it right away, it needs activation. The scripture above shows us how to activate the wisdom of God, and use it for our glory, our success and our victory in life. This is by speaking the wisdom of God in a mystery, meaning, speaking God's wisdom in an esoteric language, a language inspired by the Holy Spiritwhich is speaking in unknown tongues.
Text :1 Corinthians 14:2
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
This was what Apostle James was saying when he spoke about praying to express wisdom.
“The way to speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, is by speaking in tongues"
Another way to activate the wisdom of God in you is by meditating and speaking the Word of God.
I wouldn't say the wisdom of God is a person. Jesus is God's son, who has been thought by God himself. This mean we can learn from studying Jesus, it does not mean Jesus is his wisdom. Thanks for sharing.

I love the line that says if we read the above scripture in isolation we might be misled. And thats were the spirit of God Comes in, however still in te context of reading in isolation we might not be able to comprehend the revelation that speaks of christ as the wisdom of GOD. I however pray that we individually experience a personal encounter and revelation/conviction of this Post. its is very insightful Glory!y. Nice piece @jyclassic, more grace to you.
still Elisedaniels...Love for the Gospel.
Wisdom I must say is a quality, God himself is wise and he alone can give the wisdom he wants to his people, we must know that wisdom is only an essence not nevesarily a person
To have the wisdom of God we must fear God, Follow his commandments and study the word always.
Thanks for sharing this.
God is the giver of wisdom, Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God, the word of God is loaded with the wisdom of God to help us rule our world.

Wisdom is more than just a way of reasoning, but it is Jesus Christ himself whom God has made unto us wisdom. Thank you for sharing this wonderful revelation.
