  Speaker 1: For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: unto them. But the word preached did not profit them,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: because their faith did not feed on the word. The
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: word of God is the life support of our faith.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We live by the word of God. Blessed be God
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ecclesiastes chapter 7
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: verse 11 says, Wisdom is good with an inheritance. Wisdom
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is good with what? Inheritance. And by it, there is
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: profit to them that see the sun. Welcome to Faith Feed,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Episode 202, Wisdom with an Inheritance. Wisdom with Inheritance. King
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Solomon did justice to introducing us to the perspective of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: God's wisdom upon the face of the earth. And inasmuch
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as the believer wants to accomplish anything in life, he
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: needs to seek diligently that wisdom from God. This is
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: necessary because even if God opens the eyes of your understanding,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: as Ephesians chapter 1, 17 shows us, God can open
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the eye of our understanding so that we know what
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is the hope of our calling and what is the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: riches of the glory of the inheritance, the inheritance itself.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: That's our eyes are open to the inheritance of the saints.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: If we lack the wisdom of God, we will not
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: be able to fulfill the purpose of an inheritance that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we have entered into. That's why Solomon said that wisdom
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: is good with an inheritance. Then the next verse now says,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for wisdom is a defense, money is a defense, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom giveth life. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: he's still placing emphasis on On what? Wisdom. Proverbs chapter 1.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: The Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: To know that these Proverbs, there are three major aspects
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that is revealed. You need to, you see the first
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: thing is for you to know, to know wisdom. to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: know wisdom and instruction to perceive the words of others
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you need to know wisdom as a believer that means
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you need to be able to identify what wisdom is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to differentiate what the wisdom of God is from what
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the wisdom of men are that is why he said
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that the fear of the Lord is what The beginning,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the beginning of wisdom. That introductory part, beginning, is what
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we call the understanding of the fear of the Lord.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So this means in your inheritance, if you do not
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have the understanding of the fear of the Lord, you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: will not fulfill the purpose of that inheritance. So you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: must know wisdom. You must learn to know wisdom. You
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: can only know God's wisdom when you are able to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: see and study the patterns of God's operations. That is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the word of God. that's the only way you can
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: be able to successfully recognize and or come to the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: knowledge knowing the bible says for the soul provost 19
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: verse for the soul to be without knowledge it is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not good it's not good so no wisdom the second
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: thing uh verse 3 says to receive so after you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: know you have to come to the place of receiving
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that is your heart has to be open to receive
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: remember the city that jesus could do no mighty works
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he said that that was because they were hostile their
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: hearts were not open to receive him so when jesus
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: said seeing they will see but they will not perceive
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: hearing they will hear they will not understand he was
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: trying to refer to the fact that they cannot receive
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: because they have not come to knowledge because in order
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to enter the path of receiving have a heart that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: receives you must come to the knowledge of the truth
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of wisdom Wisdom is not a secondary thing. It's a principle.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's a primary thing and a primary objective of every believer.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You must be humble. God resisted the proud and what
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: gives more grace to the humble? Humility is one of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the virtues that one must embrace at this place of receiving.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: The Bible says to receive the instruction of wisdom. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: wisdom has an... That means it only takes humility to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: receive instruction. Exactly. So it's not just to have a mentor.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You must... Can you receive... Are you humble enough to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: receive instruction of wisdom? To see justice and judgment and equity?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Are you humble enough to recognize these things? The third is,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: verse 4, to give subtlety. To give. To give. This
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is the major part of fulfilling the wisdom of God
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in your life. The stability of your soul depends upon
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this thing I'm talking about. Listen to my episode some
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: time ago on the stability of the soul. Yes. So,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and discretion this is the ability to operate in what
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: both discernment and understanding this is how wisdom expresses itself
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in your life sharpens your discernment more gives you the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: ability to what prudence in the affairs of your life Now,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on what basis does these three things happen? That's to know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to receive, and to give. He says in verse 5
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that a wise man, this is the characteristics of a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: wise man. He says a wise man will hear and increase.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: That means the position, the posture of a wise person
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: is that he's always listening. First of all, remember when
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that for the soul to be without knowledge
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is not good. Completing that verse, the Bible says that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. That means a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: wise man is not someone that is hasty with his feet.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: If you read the Ecclesiastes that we read where it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: talks about wisdom of two verses before them, it says
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that a man that is patient in spirit is better
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: than a proud man. That's why I talked about humility.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Because these are the pathway of embracing the wisdom for
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: an inheritance. Then he now says the verse before the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wisdom we can inherit. He says, say not what is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the cause of the former things that were better. Don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: say that the former days are better than these days
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: when you have not inquired wisely. When you have not what?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Inquired wisely concerning these things. For wisdom is good with what?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: An inheritance. So he says that a wise man will
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: hear and increase in learning. Mark that. And then a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. So when
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, when you have the posture of knowing, of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: receiving and of you, attain unto wise counsels. Blessed is
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: That means you will walk in the counsel of the godly.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the pathway of wisdom. So the wise counsel are
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the people that will show you, you know, the different
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: ways by which God can be pleased with your finances.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The people that you obtain wise counsel from are the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: people that will let you see the importance of tithing,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of offering, of giving, of honoring people, your mentors, letting
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you know that it's important to save. It's important to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: have investments. You don't just stay one-sided. No. Wise counsel
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: helps you get balance. Helps you get what? Balance with
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: your inheritance. That's why wisdom with inheritance is good. Wisdom
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is good with inheritance. So wisdom with inheritance, you need
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the understanding of the fear of the Lord, humility, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: attaining wise, godly people around you for counsel and accountability system.
• 8:02
