INTRODUCTION

Wisdom is perculiar to individual, people, nation, earthly or heavenly. Wisdom is reality. One person's reality differs from another. People's reality differs. Earthly wisdom differs from heavenly. 

Wisdom is a state of your vision; it is about what you see and say. In the midst of crisis one person sees one thing another person see differently. Each in his own level of wisdom. We all see in our levels of wisdom. Nobody is unwise, at least everyone is wise in their own eyes. 

Wisdom is the application of what you know. You see by knowledge what to do or say, when you do or say it, it is wisdom. How wise a person is, is justified by the result of his wisdom. Wisdom is only tangible by results. Even words are not enough to deem one a wise person. It is the result of wisdom that justifies the one who claims to be wise. Wisdom is not mere words because true wisdom is a force which produces results.

HIDDEN BUT WISE

Ecclesiastes 9:13-15 I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it. Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man.

I said wisdom is justified by results. This above story justify my claim. This particular city had a king and many prominent people. When an enemy came against their city they all must have voiced their wisdom and even applied it to no avail; their wisdom couldn't produce any solution to the challenge that befell their city. 

If for any reason they wanted to count the wise people of the day they sure wouldn't have counted the poor but wise man. Yet it was his wisdom that saved the entire city. The rich are not always the wise, the prominent are not always the wise, those in high political position are not always the wise. Wisdom is known by its deeds. It is result that justifies true wisdom. Because wisdom always works. 

In this book we shall learn about the works or wonders of wisdom. Indeed the works of wisdom are wonders. Another subject we could have named this book is THE WORKS OF WISDOM but we named it THE WONDERS OF WISDOM because the works of wisdom are wonders. 

HUMAN WISDOM OR GOD'S WISDOM

There are basically two kinds of wisdom. The human wisdom and God's Wisdom. The way God sees things and communicates them is far different from the way man see and communicate. The result of human wisdom is different from God's. 

Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Corinth reminded them that he did not come to them with human wisdom. That tells us that the Gospel of Jesus cannot be preached in a human wisdom nor can it produce fruits through human wisdom. The Gospel doesn't appeal to human wisdom (senses).
1 Corinthians 2:1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

However we speak God's Wisdom. God expects us to. We speak based on God's perspective and result is guaranteed.
1 Corinthians 2:6-7 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

In this book we will be discussing the wisdom of God, not human wisdom nor the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age. We shall be learning the wonders of the wisdom of God.
So journey with me as we learn. God bless you!

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION CONTENTS Chapter One -- CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL Chapter Two -- THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter Three -- HER MISSION Chapter Four -- IF SHE BECOMES YOUR WIFE Chapter Five -- A FALSE PROPHET INTRODUCTION In humility I write this book to the Man of God not to be unaware of the devices of the devil. 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. I write to remind the Man of God that one of the schemes of Satan against the servant of God is "The Daughter of Jezebel." Before talking about the Daughter of Jezebel, who is Jezebel?  THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal King of Sidon. Ahab the King of Israel married her which of course was against the Lord's instruction to Israel not to marry among the nations around them. She was mainly responsible for all the evil Ahab King of Israel committed in the sight of God. She killed many of the Lord's Prophets in Israel. She was a swor

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  When th

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive you, you fo

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL chapter 1 episode 1

EPISODE 1 CHAPTER 1 CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL SHE WAS NOT A JEW 1 Kings 16:30-31 Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. Jezebel was the Daughter of the King of Sidon. Ahab the King Israel took her to be his wife even though God had said to the Israelites not to inter-marry with non-Israelites. She came to Ahab with her customs, traditions and idols. She came among the Lord's people with all the practices of the land of Sidon. She brought their god baal to the land of Israel.  Being a Queen she had authority and influence, and not just that she was a Princess of Sidon. She was raised to dominate and lead. She never really learnt how to follow but only to be followed.  She refused to follow the laws and practices the Lord laid down for His people Israel t

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th OCTOBER 2023 INCREASE IN GRACE AND PEACE 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,(NIV) God has given everyone of us Grace and Peace in Christ. But how much of them we enjoy depends on our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Knowledge here refers to intimate knowledge which comes through relationship. The level of Grace and Peace we enjoy is directly connected to our relationship and fellowship with God. The deeper your relationship with Him the greater your peace and grace.  If you find yourself wanting peace or grace what you need is not prayer but a meditation on the Word and how it relates with you. You can choose to increase the Grace and Peace of God in your life by increasing your knowledge of, relationship and fellowship with God. The scripture says Grace and Peace can be multiplied unto you through your knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord. Consc
