You and I are to function in two realms of ministry: the covert (Wisdom) and the overt (power)!
Wisdom instructs us when, where, how, why, and what to do or say. Power provides the testimony of GOD in the situation.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 1:
24 But for those who have been chosen to follow Jesus Christ, both Jews and Greeks, He is God’s mighty power, God’s True Wisdom, and our Messiah.
25 For the “foolish” things of God have proven to be wiser than human wisdom. And the “feeble” things of God have proven to be far more powerful than any human ability.
When we are led by The Holy Spirit Who is Wisdom, we will never be early, nor will we be late. We will understand how to deal with a matter in the most appropriate fashion. We will do GOD’S Will according to the circumstances at hand. This is why it is critical for us to seek out GOD’S Wisdom constantly in our daily lives.
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 26:
62 And the high priest arose and said to Jesus, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?”
63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! 66 What do you think?” They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”
67 Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands,
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
Jesus did not defend Himself because He understood the necessity of going to the cross. Jesus did not take the bait of the high priest. Instead, He assured the path to the cross, the resurrection, and to be seated at the Right Hand of GOD, The Almighty.
We too must be vigilant to remain silent even though our mind wants us to speak up about some injustice. The Holy Spirit will navigate us through the situation, and will move us to speak at the right time.
Power brings forth the breakthrough in any situation. Wisdom taps into the way of life that GOD intended for us in order to sustain the breakthrough. And It positions us to truly learn how to reign in life.
Financial wealth doesn’t run my life, I manage it. Relationships don’t govern me, I govern them. Wisdom gives us access to a lifestyle that testifies of HIS Nature. It doesn’t just testify, It invites those around us to embrace It as well.
It is the bold preaching of The Gospel that attracts the Miracle Hand of GOD to be released in any given environment. We want to have both power and Wisdom to minister to people and bring forth the Kingdom of GOD in their lives. The Gospel in Its boldness, will bring forth repentance from dead works in people’s lives.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12 concerning unbelief:
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
42 The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the Wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
A reluctant Jonah ended up preaching a bold message and the entire city repented. The men of Nineveh repented and will rise up in judgment to condemn the unbelief of the current generation. Once the Queen of the South heard GODLY Wisdom, she too will rise up in judgment of the unbelief that prevails in today’s environment. It is time to repent of unbelief in supernatural miracles and the Wisdom from Above.
