Job 28:12,28 ( But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding)

The writer of this book elaborates on the price of wisdom and where and how understanding can’t be obtained. They also explain where wisdom and understanding can be obtained, noting that nobody knows the price thereof.

Education can’t give wisdom there are many educated people who are foolish, when they speak, you will know that something is wrong somewhere, you will wonder if they had stepped into the four corners of classrooms.

I read when someone was trying to say that if we are all educated, the herbalists and fake prophets would have packed up.

I oppose those ideologies because there are many educated people in our society who still hold tradition and culture in high esteem, had they been wise enough to know that that is the clog in the wheel of African spiritual progress, they wouldn’t have chained themselves down with their academic shackles.

Many professors don’t have the fear of God at heart, many of them still pay obeisance to the power that destroys their family background, how is education make them wise or how do they gain understanding by doing things against their Creator?

How many well learned have the fear of God or how many of them profess to be born-again?

This passage says, the children of men don’t even know the price of wisdom and it can’t be found in the land of the living, no wonder people don’t fear God, everyone is doing as they please even when it’s wrong with the holiness and the righteousness of God.

If you fear God and are wise, you will know the way of God, you won’t doubt if he is speaking, because he has his way in the storms and whirlwind of life.

Riches can’t secure wisdom, many thinks they are wise, but are acting foolish, doing things according to their foolish imagination; many rich and wealthy people are foolish, they use their money on things that’ll make God angry, to increase the candidates of hell and depopulate the kingdom of God, will you say they are wise, they might be wise in their own imagination but not wise towards God.

Many riches were not gotten by wisdom, but rather by doing many things that make God angry with them and their generation.

The wisdom God is demanding can’t be found in the grave, even death says, it’s not with it, all the precious stones and gold can’t pay the price of wisdom, nothing of them can be quantified with it.

Wisdom is kept from the fowl of the air and the beast of the field, even those who turned to birds and horrible creatures can’t find wisdom; no wisdom in the depths of the grave, had they had wisdom those who are there wouldn’t find themselves in the grave, as wisdom and understanding of God would have delivered them before they get there.

Those who consult the power of the grave for insight are so miserable for had they not been, they would have known that that kind of power wouldn’t invoke the wisdom of God in their life.

Wisdom is hidden from the wise and hides from the prudent of the world, but is given to the babies of the kingdom, that is what pleases the father.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom amd to depart from evil is understanding, men graduated from being foolish to the realms of wisdom and understanding the day he repent from evil and departed from all that makes God angry about them to start a new chapter with God.

This is the mystery hidden from all men as they don’t want to live their lives in the fear of God , God gave them up to a reprobate mind.

Human intellect can’t produce wisdom for it’s rooted in the fall of man, no one praises God in the grave, for they are already living in his terror, neither will riches or wealth provide wisdom for it’s all gotten from human corrupted nature, devoid of God’s fear and his love..

Wisdom is scarce among the children of men, because the fear of God is limited, no one fears God we all walk in our corrupt nature and mind.

Riches and education reveal man’s true nature, man might not even be corrupted as they are had they not tasted education to some levels, many wouldn’t have experienced the deceitfulness of riches had they not tasted it.

Wisdom is given to the babes in the kingdom who fear the lord and if they retain their first love for God, they shall be given more understanding of him and his word.

The Bible says, he who finds me finds life and shall obtain the favour of God, but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul, and all who hate me love death.

If you have the fear of God at heart, you won’t dare do what he forbade in his word, you won’t put him to the test and say, what will he do? Remember that he can do more than you expected if you dare him.

Those who deliberately sin against him don’t have his fear or love him, instead of being wise in the things of the kingdom and they are the ones whom the devil will use to propagate his heresies and increase his kingdom.

Prayer: Father lord put your fear in me, let me love you all through my years in the land of the living in Jesus name amen
