WISDOM IS KEY

February 15, 2014

The story is told of a man travelling on a very lonely highway. Suddenly as with any mechanical device, his car wouldn’t start again just after about five minutes of stopping to ease himself. He had an appointment to catch up and was running late. Minutes later, he saw a towing van coming. “Hey, would you by any chance know of any mechanic around this area?” Luckily for him, there was a mechanic in the van.

“Open the bonnet sir.” Said the mechanic as he picked a spanner and hit the battery head and said, “Please start the engine sir.” The engine started. “Wow, thank you, how much is your bill?” Asked the man. “Well, I would do $100.” The man was surprised, “but you only hit something and didn’t even get dirty, and here you are charging $100?” The mechanic smiled, “Sir, I am charging you $10 for hitting the battery head and $90 for knowing where to hit.”

Someone said knowledge knows that tomato is a fruit, but wisdom does not put it in fruit salad. Wisdom is the ability to think and utilize knowledge, experience, understanding or common sense. Prov 4:7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” King Solomon became the wealthiest king that ever lived not because he had the best of education or was the most hardworking man on earth as that time, but because he was very wise.

Ecc 9:15 says a man was poor but he delivered an entire city because he was wise. As you go about this year, please cherish wisdom. Be wise in dealing with your clients. Be wise in the area of your finances. As a believer, you are walking wisdom because Prov 2:7 says; “God layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous.” You are to be the go-to guy. You are to be a solution bank. I decree, you will be so wise that no man would be able to resist you in Jesus Name. Amen!
