Wisdom is the most powerful and creative force divinely embedded in man to orchestrate and determine his now, tomorrow and to invent his world.
May I point this out: wisdom is from God:
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him” Colossians 1:16
All the types of wisdom are originally from God’s wisdom, pure and acceptable.
For that, he is often referred to as the Spirit of Wisdom, which defines him as its originator who gives and teaches us wisdom. The same referred to as the Spirit of wisdom is as well, the Spirit of the Word, because
The word is the wisdom of God.
In Isaiah 11:2, Revelation 4:5 the bible mentioned the seven Spirits of the Lord or the seven Spirits of God.
“And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD”
“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God”
In the hierarchy of the seven Spirits, the spirit of wisdom occupies the no 1 position. This denotes the place of wisdom as the primary or paramount thing in life, and the first that should be desired from him, the needful and the necessitated gift and nature ought to have in your life and the primary thing he is ever willing to give.
Not that the other spirits are not important or relevant. They are importantly mentioned along with wisdom, because they are the very fruits of wisdom, which defines and reveals the act, nature, power and force of wisdom.
Without the function of these, you will not know wisdom, because they are the synonyms that manifest wisdom in our display of each of them.
Therefore, when we talk about the seven Spirits of God one must not misunderstood and misinterpret it to mean God has seven other Spirits beside the mighty person of his Holy Spirit.
Take note that, in mentioning the word “Spirits” the word starts with capital letter “S”
This undoubtedly implies the same as when you use capital letter G to God referring to the mighty person of God.
The term “Spirits” singularly refers to the mighty person of the Holy Spirit.
However, when we talk about the seven Spirits of God we are referring to the seven unique and outstanding natures of God through which the sovereignty, omnipotence, omniscience and the unfathomed mysteries and majesty of God are revealed, known and understood through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who shares them with us.
The Holy Spirit is the originator and carrier of these, the moment you are filled with the Holy Spirit he fills you with these seven spirits.
Another thing I want you to note is how Isaiah chapter 11 highlights these seven Spirits.
It started their terms with small letter “s” which denotes they are not the same as the Holy Spirit who is accredited with the capital letter “S”.
This simply apply the seven Spirits of God to mean the seven natures of the Holy Spirit.
In their hierarchy according to Isaiah chapter 11:2 the Spirit includes himself in the line up of the Spirits of God, as their source, and it is the infilling of the Spirit in your life which the passage interpreted to “shall rest upon him” that guarantees wisdom, Knowledge, understanding, counsel, might and the fear of the Lord in your life.
When the Spirit of God rest upon a man he fills him with these spirits,
Thereby making him wise and full of light!
This is why it is strange for a child of God to fail in life, because the Spirit is in him to give him knowledge and understanding on how to succeed in his life.
Knowledge, understanding, counsel, might and the fear of the Lord are qualities drawn from the well of wisdom.
That is why Ecclesiastes 1:17 says, “And I gave my heart to getting knowledge of wisdom…” (Bible in Basic English)
The term getting denotes drawing from a source: you can only draw knowledge of wisdom from theoretical wisdom by the use of learning.
The knowledge of the wisdom of God is gotten through understanding the written, teaching and insight into theoretical wisdom in the bible.
Hence, the Spirit of wisdom also implies him to be the source of wisdom.
The very source that impart, embed and inbuilt the wisdom in man.
“….May give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better” Ephesians 1:17 (New international version)
Note: the Spirit of wisdom and Revelation is the same Spirit of the Lord. He imparts God’s own wisdom through revelation into all matters (spiritual matters, science matters etc).
Because the Spirit of wisdom and Revelation is the very Holy Spirit who gives the knowledge and understanding of God’s wisdom via Revelation.
The wisdom of God comes by Revelation of his words through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
That is why, the word of God contained in the bible is the Revelation of God written under divine inspiration.
And those that wrote it simply shared their insight and revelation under inspiration.
Hence, you can only know God and his wisdom through Revelation.
What do I mean?
Revelation is insight into a matter.
A supernatural unfolding of accurate knowledge and understanding of any matter.
Another word to that Revelation is penetration into mysteries and dissolving all mysteries.
No matter how hard and difficult the situations, the Spirit of God through revelation gives the penetrations (breaks through into mysteries) and gives the accurate knowledge and understanding which diffuses and simplifies it, thereby proffers solution and the wisdom of it.
This is why Revelation is very important in our walks with God, because God is Revelational.
He comes to us by Revelation; he deals with us on the basis of our individual Revelation of him.
