Wisdom: The Gateway To
Wealth
---Ecclesiastes
7:12 (AMP)
For wisdom is a defense even as
money is a defense, but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom
shields and preserves the life of him who has it.
"By
three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest;
second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the
bitterest."
---Confucius
“If
someone has achieved ten times what you are trying to achieve once, the person
knows something you don’t know.”
---Archbishop Benson Idahosa

The most inspiring thing about life is
that your life is more perpetual than your worries and struggles, which mean
that the darkness you experience at this stage of your life will gradually
disappear because your life has a greater ability to displace it.
To live above the trials and challenges of
life, wisdom becomes the principal force that is required in your life to be
fulfilled, happy and wealthy. Wisdom should be omnipresent in every situations
and matters of your life; it is the only thing that holds the wall of your life
firmly that keeps it from collapsing, many seek money!
The life of a great man (King Solomon) has
proven the potency of wisdom and as set it as a significant force that
differentiates the successful from a failure, sets the gap between the poor and
the rich, and separates the ones that has peace from the troubled. Wisdom is
the key to wealth, peace and happiness. Wisdom is a thing to be sought and not
forget because it liberates you from whatsoever that is capable of enslaving
you.
King Solomon is known for his greatness,
riches, great empire and above all wealth of wisdom that attracted great,
mighty and noble men to him. Solomon had a special encounter with God in his
dream and was given the opportunity to request for one thing, and the only
thing he asked from God is ‘wisdom’ and this request opened to him a world of
blessings, fame, riches, greatness, honor and wealth.
This is why in proverbs, King Solomon said
wisdom is a principal thing; therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get
understanding. More so, he said how much better to get wisdom than gold and
understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
It is said that as we grow we become
wiser; because experience is believed to grant wisdom to man, yet as true as it
maybe age is no qualifier of wisdom only God is the ultimate source of wisdom. See
what James 1:5 says ‘If any of you is
deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone
liberally and ungrudgingly,
without reproaching or faultfinding,
and it will be given him.’ Ask Him
today and you will gain wisdom.
The bitter truth is that God will not give
any man wealth directly; He only gives to man the power to make wealth which
can only be gained through wisdom. God makes available unto us healthy body,
bright mind, wise companions, opportunities, education so we gain knowledge and
understanding of whatever our heart seeks. The ball is in our court to use them
all to make the best out of life, only those who devotedly live a purposeful
life gets their huge share of the wealth of the universe.
Wisdom is required in every area of your
life; you must be wise to be physically healthy, spiritually energetic,
materially rich, educationally fulfilled, happily married, morally balanced and
socially active, and experience an all-round wealth. Wisdom is required in the
secular life from business to politics, and economic issues to world affairs.
Wisdom is the gateway to wealth for individuals and nations.
Mike Murdock said and i quote ‘Your rewards in life are determined by the
kinds of problem you are willing to solve for others’ If you are willing to
gain wisdom to solve great problems your rewards shall be great and it’s same
when it is otherwise. The wisdom we have and the problems we are able to solve
determine the largeness of our coast on earth.
Know this as Mike Murdock said ‘you will only be remembered for two things:
the problems you solve or the ones you create’.
Wisdom helps you to soak yourself into
your daily life and absorb everything that is in it required to propel you into
colorful and successful life, by this you unveil the secret to your future.
One thing i have understood about our
existence here on the universe is that we are designed problem solver; the ones
who avoid functioning according to this design will only start to malfunction
because they are not living indeed the purpose of their existence. To live a
purposeful life requires wisdom, you must be wise to exist on this planet and
manifest greatness.
Wisdom is above all things man should
desire, many seek rather than wisdom, one big mistake that many make is the
strong believe in money, they say money answer all things but don’t be deceived
money can’t buy all things, money can’t buy life and happiness, and it can’t
even preserve your life. Wisdom can get all things including money, wisdom
shields and preserve the life of him who has it. Wisdom makes the kings and
powerful people to seek you for direction, even when you have nothing else but
wisdom; you become a magnetic force that attracts people that matters and wealth.
To be a wise man, it is advisable you
become companion of the wise. Every man has been given the heavenly ability to
perceive wisdom in fellow man, you need to consult those who possess greater
wisdom, understanding and knowledge than you do in every areas of your life to
attain excellence and be wealthy.
I will leave you with this quote by Henry
Kaiser ‘I make progress by having people around me who are smarter than I am -
and listening to them. And I assume that everyone is smarter about something
than I am’. Living your life based on this principle will make you wiser and
definitely decorate you a wealthy man.
Keep living indeed and stay fulfilled!
God
