Wisdom answer to everything

There are so many knowledgeable people, many professors and intellectuals in this world, but very few out of them all are wise. Wisdom is a gift from God, it cannot be obtained from educational institutions.

The bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Psalms 111:10).
I thought the most learned are the most successful, but when I looked at the lifestyles of the carriers of knowledge in this world, I understood from the interpretation of their lives that it’s not in knowledge that can cause one to have a good living, but its wisdom.

Many billionaires and the most famous people who are living good lives in this life are school drop-outs.
Possessing knowledge alone is not good enough, it has to be coupled with wisdom, which can only be gotten when one chooses to go spiritual. The shortest way of acquiring wisdom is to acquaint oneself with the one who has it. Its either you possess it or you befriend yourself with someone who is an oasis of wisdom.

Eyes of wisdom are of great importance to have for survival and prosperity of human beings in this world.
Eyes that can see beyond the horizon.
Eyes that can pick up what others cannot see.
Eyes that can even see opportunities while others are gazing at closed doors.

These are the eyes of wisdom. In the book of Luke Chapter 24, there is a story of two men who were going to Emmaus. They were accompanied by Jesus and they started sharing with Him about the breaking news of His crucifixion and resurrection. They did not perceive that it was Him throughout the journey.
They went on to eat with Him without seeing that it was Him. They ate of the bread He broke that’s when their eyes were opened and understood it was Him.

When Jesus gave them of His body and blood that’s when they became wise, that’s the time their eyes were opened(Luke 24:31).These guys could have been much educated since they were coming from a Jewish background where Jewish laws were a must to master.

Their knowledge of the law could not open their eyes to know Jesus, it was actually Him who made them to become wise to know Him. What do you know that makes you think you are wise? Look at what your knowledge has brought you. It is Jesus the tank of wisdom who can give people real knowledge to become wise. As I am seated at the feet of my father for sometime, a man full of wisdom, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa, that’s when my eyes began to open little by little. The man of God is supernaturally endowed with wisdom Himself.

He fits in all ages. He communicates and addresses different platforms on different subjects with different languages without any challenges, that’s when I concluded that the man is wise. Very few intellectuals, skilled and learned individuals can match the communication standards of Prophet Makandiwa when it comes to addressing different platforms on various issues of life. For me to be able to see this it’s because of my eyes which he opened by the grace of God.

Jesus was sent to the Jews as their Messiah, but their eyes were blind such that they saw him as one of the prophets (John 1:11). Their eyes of wisdom could not see until the opportunity had gone. Even this day they are still waiting for their Messiah, while here in Zimbabwe some are still saying, Jesu mudzimu wevarungu and yet varungu vacho they did not receive Him. So who received Jesus and where?

Only those that are wise, those whose eyes are opened, from different races and colours across the entire globe are welcome into the sheepfold of Jesus Christ. I remember being told of a certain tale that had happened in a certain place in an African country. There was a young man who was a robber and a murderer. One day he got into the darkness of the night waylaying his victims from a nearby bar.

He saw a man staggering coming his way out of the bar and immediately struck him with a log and the victim died instantly. He collected his victim’s clothing, jewelleries and purse and went back home after a big and easy catch of the night.

Early in the morning when he went to check on his loot, as he was going through the clothes, he became familiar with the jacket and the shoes.
They were his father’s clothes, he had actually killed his own biological parent. Oh Jesus! This happened in the night. His eyes couldn’t see in the night, but when the morning came, it came with enough visibility, but it was too late. When a nation is going through a night season, it fails to recognise and respect father figures of the land. It fights, attacks and even demonise its spiritual fathers.

By fighting spiritual fathers knowingly or unknowingly, a nation attracts a curse upon the land. Eyes must be given us from on high so that we may see and respect our spiritual fathers. Some are not fathers because of age in the physical, but they are fathers even if they are physically young because of the degree of wisdom and honour which God conferred on them. Pastors and people of our land, lets respect and honour our spiritual fathers.

One does not need to do a Masters degree theology for him to become a spiritual father. Fatherhood it’s an endowment from on high, it’s a spiritual weight an individual has and the ability to reproduce for the Kingdom of God. In the night people can’t see properly. It’s good to wait for the morning before you pre-judge and conclude.

One day the disciples saw Jesus walking on water and called Him a ghost because it was in the night (Matthew 14:25&26). The man they have been with for some time, but when the night came in their eyes He became a ghost. I know of a certain prophet, a father figure in our nation, before he was excommunicated from a certain apostolic sect, he was good to them.

They used to hire him to preach in almost every synagogue of their ministry, raising funds for their projects for he had an ability from God to do so.
Most of the pastors from that sect even to this day they are driving and living luxurious lives because of this prophet. When the evening came the same pastors started to call the same prophet they had been milking for their survival a Satanist.

When I asked Wisdom what could have happened to these pastors, He told me: “Son it’s not about the prophet, but it’s about these pastors, their eyes of wisdom are affected, to them the sun has gone down’’.

It’s not all about race, education, gender or status that matters the most in this life, it’s all about how much light of wisdom do you have to your eyes.
If your eyes have a fault, it’s possible to see white things black or vice-versa. Before you choose to repair things that may seem to be faulty, first and foremost check your eyes, the way you see things. The best definition of insanity is when a man chooses to increase his velocity while he is off the track.

Lets slow down, search for wisdom, if we can’t get it on our own let’s look for those with it in the land and get ourselves acquainted with them. Once we enter into their realms we shall all considered to be wise at the end of the day.

Get wisdom, get life, receive permanent eyesight. Come to UFIC, come to the world of God, the world of wisdom and wonders!
