Wisdom is such a wide topic. Here is a thought on wisdom:
Wisdom is sustained by consecrations. Acquired wisdom can be easily lost. Many people acquire wisdom but overtime the go back to the very person they were before they met wisdom. If you study the life of Daniel, you will realise that his consecration did not end at not indulging in the king's delicacies. Daniel 6:10b “And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” Daniel had guidelines that guided his life and one of them was him praying three times a day while facing Jerusalem. When the enemy wanted to attack Daniel, he went for his consecrations...

Wisdom is one of the most important possessions of a person. The Cambridge Dictionary defines wisdom as the ability to make good judgements based on what you have learned from your experience, or the knowledge and understanding that gives you this ability. Wisdom is either accumulated or acquired. F...

Jeremiah 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; (KJV)

Dear believer, you are God's battle axe, His weapon of war; make sure you behave like one. Position yourself rightly for exploits.

Romans 13:7 says, "Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor." I marvel at the people who say their walk with God is right but they dishonour people. The more i walk with God the more I realise the standard of honour in my life increase.
Honour is a conscious decision that you make. I remember the day the Holy Spirit told, " You don't honour people for who they are but honour God in them." This words restructure my whole understanding of honour. Honour is not about convenience but consistency. Situational honour is the reason why you struggle with honour. Honour people because it is the right thing to do.
One more thing, honour is not foolishness. I have come across people who have translated honour to doing whatever is expected of them. Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:1 says, follow me as I follow Christ. God is our standard any day. Don't do anything contrary to God's will because an authority says so. In such a case, the will of God supercedes all things. If they threaten you with curses, remember, a curse without a cause will not rest (Proverbs 26:2). Do not be afraid.

Philemon 1:6 "that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."

There are good things bestowed in a person by virtue of them being in Christ. The finished work of the cross carries much more weight that most people actually realise. It does not end with you having your sins forgiven and your name in the book of life. To the one in Christ, the law of sin and death has no power over you (Tomans 8:2). This means, by virtue of you being in Christ you have the ability to defy all that came with sin; in you in the ability to live above the systems of this world.

It is in this light that we share the gospel, not just the message but the power in the message. Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 2:4, says that his sharing was not in persuasive words of thd wisdom of men but demonstrations of the Spirit and power. This means, to every sharer of the good news lies a responsibility to go beyond words to demonstrations of the Spirit and of power for our labour to be effective.

Let every believer endeavor to what is right and share the gospel rightly as we ought to.

FAITH
Mark 5:25-34 tells of the story of the woman with the issue of blood. For 12 years, she was afflicted by an ailment which had no remedy.
As Jesus was passing by they are many people who pressed against his body, one of them was thd woman with the issue of blood. Jesus turned back and asked, 'Who touched me?' His disciples dismissed his claiming too many people were touching. Something was for sure, many people were pressing but only one touched Jesus with faith. The distinction was not in the touching but in the faith.
The distinction between people is in the faith. 2 Corinthains 4:13 speaks of hearing, believing and therefore speaking. The distinction between people is in their faith in God. Make sure you hear, believe and speak it.
Remember, the difference is not in the touching but in the faith.

TIME IS OF ESSENCE
Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” The more time is spent, the more likely you are to become anxious. Spend your time correctly. Time of great essence.

THOUGHTS ON TIME
5. There is warfare over your time. God is interested in time, the devil too is interested in time. Have you ever observed how precise God is when he is speaking about time and happenings? There is a time frame attached to everything, for example, the prayer of Daniel (Daniel 10). Daniel 10:12-13 says, “Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.” From what you can see in this scripture, the devil was fighting the answer by stretching time. The day you realise that the devil is after your time, you will be more careful with it. The longer you take to understand a specific area of your life, the longer the devil dominates in that area of your life. Copy paste this to every aspect of life. Much of what you see as warfare is a war over time?

Time is a currency. In employment, you give your time and skills in exchange for money. This creates a loop of longing that is attached to time. Time spent in developing a skill is an investment. Time spent with a loved one is an investment. Time is a resource that you use to achieve a specific goal. Whenever you see a person letting their time just flew away, that is a person investing as well but negatively. When the Bible urges you to wait/tarry this a call to investing into your life. Isaiah 40:31, for example, says that those who wait on the Lord will have their strength renewed. This is to show, the renewal of strength is a consequence of waiting on the Lord. Whatever you are using your time to do is a transaction.

THOUGHTS ON TIME
3. Everyone has time. Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NLT) explains this phenomenon very well, “I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.” Most times, people blame their lack of success on the lack of time; others blame the devil. What you do not realize is that time and chance happens to everyone but what distinguishes you is discernment. You cannot make a lot out of your life and the time that you have if you lack the discernment. This is why Jesus told his disciples that the Holy Spirit will guide them into all truth (John 16:13); the truth of time included. You lost seasons because you did not identify their relevance at the moment.

THOUGHTS ON TIME
2. Time is to be redeemed. Before the fall of man, there was day and night (measures we use today to determine time), but there was no urgency. Adam and Eve dwelt in a perfect world where they did not know death or corruption. After the fall, however, death was introduced to the world which now meant there was limited time for one to do all they ought to do. When the Bible talks of redeeming time because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16), it speaks of the urgency of doing all you ought to do with a limited time. When you see people taking their sweet time to do whatever they ought to do, these are people who do not understand the urgency of redeeming time. There is not much time left but there is still a lot to be done. Heaven expects you to do as much as Adam was required to do before the fall but you have the limitation of time. You need to redeem time!
