Study 2B..True wisdom
James 1:5-8..

We have been able to  looked upon the first and second point of this study,by the grace of God we have been able to know what the true wisdom is and also know may be we need it.after all these we shall continue to check  on how do we get this particular wisdom .what made it particular is the true added to it.that mean there are varieties of wisdom.God bless you as you study.....


3 . CAN WE HAVE IT ?
Yes, we can! Notice that James says, “”If any of you…”…” The reference is to every Christian, or as verse 2 reminds us, to ““my brothers””, to those who are children in the family of God – look up John 1:11-13. Not only can we know that God wants us to be pure, holy and peaceable, but we can actually be like this. It is God’’s will that we should be so. We can have the heavenly wisdom, we can translate into our daily lives the truth we learn from God’’s word, so that our lives demonstrate the truth –- look up Titus 2:10.
4 . HOW CAN WE GET IT?
James 1:5 says, “…“…he should ask God””. This wisdom is a gift which is obtained by prayer. Notice that James does not say, ‘‘If any man lacks wisdom let him go to the university, or let him sit down and think’’! What is spoken of here is wisdom which is offered to us and which we need so much –- a gift which is not achieved but which is given by God. Therefore to secure it we must ask God, since the gift we want and need is heavenly wisdom, and only God can give this. When we ask Him for wisdom, we must look to Him in dependence and in recognition of who He is and what He is able and willing to do for us. It means asking not once, but frequently and continually until, as James says in James 1:4, we become ““mature and complete, not lacking anything””. We must go on asking; the more we ask the more God will give, and the more we shall receive.
5 . HOW IS IT GIVEN ?
James 1:5 says ““generously””, which means that God does not give grudgingly. He does not give “
“out of” ” His riches but “ “according to” ” His riches –- look up Philippians 4:19. When we ask for wisdom He does not find fault with us or scold us. This is how God delights to give!
6 . HOW IS IT RECEIVED ?
It is through the prayer of faith (verses 6-8) –- asking in faith and receiving the answer by faith. When we ask we must have absolute confidence that God will hear and answer, because faith is an essential requisite to answered prayer (Hebrews 11:6); compare Matthew 21:22 and Mark 11:24.
7 . IS THIS A CERTAIN PROMISE?
Indeed it is! –- James 1:5 assures us that the prayer for wisdom will certainly be answered – look up the last part of James 4:2! Look up Colossians 3:1


As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized wisdom is not really a function of education. There are brilliant people who are unable to live well and function in what they know. These people have knowledge but not wisdom.
Wisdom has the power to transform those who apprehend it. It can be defined as the intimate embrace of truth, when truth merges with our being and begins to drive and direct our actions.

The book of Proverbs instructs us:

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister”…
Proverbs 7:4 NIV

Make a nice resolution in your prayer pertain to this study.God bless you!
