A) Three realms of wisdom:
1. God’s Kingdom
2. Man’s (earthly)
3. Satan’s kingdom of darkness
B) Wisdom:
1) Is the stability of our times:
Isaiah 33:6 (KJV) – And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
2) Is strategy over Satan:
1 Corinthians 2:7 (KJV) – But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
3) Is wiser than our enemies:
Psalm 119:98 (KJV) – Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
4) Attracts wealth (i.e.: Solomon)
Proverbs 8:11-21 (KJV) 11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. 12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
5) Makes us successful:
Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NIV) – If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success. 6) Is good with an inheritance:
Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 (KJV) 11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Ecclesiastes 7:19 (KJV) – Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
