FAR ABOVE RUBIES
Ruby is a gemstone that has a lot of values and it is uncommon around but for you to get the beautiful and the real ruby, you need to make it go through a lot of refine processes of cutting, separating it out of other stones, washing to get the real colour and clarity of it. One thing is that with all these cleansing processes, a ruby tend to lose it value.
However, with the level of preciousness of this stone there is one thing that is better and more precious than it. You don't need to refine it like ruby which won't make it lost its value. It is purer on its own and more valuable. I kept pondering on what could be so precious and far above this great gemstone and the Lord said "WISDOM".
Now, ruby is not enough for you to be a better person but rather wisdom to the extent of becoming a good man or a virtuous woman. Just as proverb 31:10 says "who can find a virtuous woman, for her price is far above rubies". He explained further and said "A man full of wisdom can only find a virtuous woman"
We need to understand that there is a physical and spiritual meaning attached to it. I asked what was this physical aspect. I was made to understand that a virtuous woman being priceless is likened to the case of the highest bidder but the most amazing thing is that the highest bidder can't still afford her if he lacks her glowing oil.
The physical aspect being settled, the question of what the spiritual aspect came on board, and the Holyspirit said if a woman is far above rubies then she is a woman filled with the powers of pure Wisdom.
Wisdom as defined by the dictionary is the natural ability to understand things that most other people cannot understand; it is the knowledge of what is proper or reasonable, a good sense of judgement.
However, whatever is exceptional is God made not man made, so it takes the fear of God to get wisdom.
The scripture says in James 3:17 that "wisdom is that which from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Analyzing this, a woman with wisdom is one with pure heart; a woman that does not argue nor nags with her husband; a woman who prays for the success of her family, a woman who will spend her last dime to make her family happy.
Are you that woman?
Like I said earlier, it takes a man full of wisdom to get this kind of woman. You can't get what you don't give, which implies that irrespective of your gender, age, size, colour, among others get WISDOM.
" For wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom" proverb 4:7
Don't just be a ruby, but work beyond being better than it. Being beautiful isn't enough, but being beautiful with wisdom profit more and is inestimable.
So many homes are in disarray today because they lack the wisdom to put things in place, likewise youths are going astray because they don't have the wisdom to put them on the right track. So many sisters are out of age but still single just because of wisdom. The country is in crisis because there is lack of wisdom. The world is no longer in its right senses because wisdom is lost.
You should note that your certificate will only do little, your countenance will do little, your communication skills will do little but the application of knowledge which is Wisdom!
My beloved, are you battling with a situation? I advise you get wisdom which is pure. Is your business not replicating the stipulated returns or more? Then get wisdom. Has your husband stopped being the man you married? Then get wisdom. Are your children bringing spoils to you? Get wisdom. Are your grades in school falling apart? Get wisdom.
The scripture has said it all in James 1:5 " if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him"
It is only this pure wisdom that can give you a turnaround in all spheres of life, it is only this divine wisdom that can make you command respect on heaven and earth. It is only this pure wisdom that can make your dreams fulfilled. But while getting this wisdom, crave for the heart of the fear of God. Prov. 9:10th
I therefore beseech thee to crave for that eternal fear of God that will make you explore in the riches of pure wisdom.
Explore beyond the rubies, because that is not the end to a means but WISDOM which is the father of all.
