What Wisdom is this.
                  Anything from Above  is above all
Mark 6:2

2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many  hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what  wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by  his hands.

Let me start by saying there are four kinds of Wisdom
1 Earthly Wisdom
2 Sensual Wisdom
3 Devilish Wisdom
4 Wisdom from Above

James 3:14 -17
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

I will start by defining this widom one after the other.

1. Earthly Wisdom is the kind that every human use, the earthly wisdom makes people  believe they are right when they are wrong, the wisdom of manipulating others are  earthly, the wisdom to defraud others are earthly, the wisdom to acquire wealth under  false pretence is earthly, wisdom of cheating others is earthly.

2. To be preoccupied with the senses immorality is Sensual Wisdom, the act of  committing sexual offence or having sexual interest with one who is not your partner  is Sensual Wisdom, being  preoccupied with  carnal and  fleshly appetites is Sensual  Wisdom.

3.The act of witch-hunting others is Devilish Wisdom,  To be preoccupied with the  senses of making sure others don't succeed is Devilish Wisdom, the senses of  being bitter envying and strife in your hearts is Devilish Wisdom, having the senses  to kill by arms or witchcraft is devilish wisdom, the act of making sure others don't  grow like you or more than you is devilish wisdom, being Diabolical and cultic is 
Devilish Wisdom.


4. Divine Wisdom, The senses of being gentle , living in peace, loving one another,  and forgiving those who offend you  is Wisdom from Above, and whatever is from above  is above all (John 3:31 "He who comes from above is above all), the Wisdom from above 
is full of mercies, is clean, without practicality and hypocrisy, it's the only  Wisdom that produce good fruit, there's nothing mystical about the Wisdom from Above,  It’s the Solomon type of Wisdom.



The Wisdom from above was on display in the life of Jesus and it was generating  mighty works , there is nothing ordinary about it , it was all extra ordinary and the  people ask what Wisdom is This.

Now lets see if there is a price for  this Wisdom or if we can lean this  from a higher institution.

Job 28:12-19

12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price 
thereof.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the 
sapphire.

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for 
jewels of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above 
rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure 
gold.

As you can see this Wisdom can not be bought with money, it can not be compared with  anything, the sea said it's not in me, vers 13 of Job 28 said it can't be found in  this world, you can’t get this Wisdom from Oxford or Cambridge University, verses  23 said it's only available with God, you are not required to pay for this Wisdom for  man knows not the price of this Wisdom, to get this Wisdom is as simple as anything.

Lets see what is required to get this Wisdom Job 28:28

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart  from evil is understanding.

(The fear of God) means  living a spiritual minded life and becoming free from being  carnal minded, meditating in the word of God day and night, having love, hope, faith,  refraining from doing anything your heart condemns as sin, loving the lord your God  and confessing Jesus as your lord and personal savior, laying your trust in God and  making up your mind to serve Jesus all the rest of your life no matter any condition  or situation of life not minding what people say or feel about you .


Once you provide the requirements of getting the Wisdom from Above the next thing you  do is turn to the book of James 1:5-6 and pray as instructed.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally,  and upbraided not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavered is like a wave of  the sea driven with the wind and tossed.


This Wisdom give you spiritual boldness, it gives you the power to stand strong even in  the days of temptation, it gives you the courage to see things of this world the way  others don't see it, death and destruction fear this Wisdom Job 28:22.

This Wisdom give Daniel spiritual boldness to withstand King Nebuchadnezzar, It gives David the  Power to withstand Goliath the Philistine, when you have this Wisdom witches and  Witchcrafts  fear you, because anything from Above is Above all.

This Wisdom from above is indeed above all Wisdom, it overpower the Devilish Wisdom  of pharoh and he and his armies with their diabolical wisdom ended at the red sea.

What may happen while you are working with this Wisdom from Above.
Luke 21:16

And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends;  and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

Your family, friends, and associates might reject you, call you worthless, they will  see no future in you, the will laugh at you and muck you , their opinions is not  important because they dont have the ability to see the light in you which is the  Wisdom from Above and which is above all.

It happened to Joseph, his brothers rejected him, his family rejected him, but the  Wisdom of God in him overpowered all this and place him to the rank of Prime Minister  from Prison, this wisdom turns trials to testimonies  Luke 21:13  And it shall turn to  you for a testimony.


Jesus is calling you today to join him in this cruise of Wisdom heading to Canaan of  our time, lay down your pride, forget about who you are for God is no respecter of  man, humble yourself once again, call yourself nobody and let God call you somebody,  David call his self nobody and was busy in the field with cattle’s when God  made him King  of the whole Isreal because he choose the path of this Wisdom.


We see this Wisdom in the life of Joseph the Prime Minister in Egypt, we see it in the  life of King David, the bible said it's a peaceable Wisdom and that's why David said  how can I kill Saul the anointed of God, and Joseph in his own said How can I do this  great wickedness and sin against God Genesis 39:9 , so this Wisdom guide you to do  good, It gives you a forgiving mind, a peaceful mind, I mind full of love, it gives 
you the spirit of humbleness.

When this Wisdom displayed in the life of Joseph even Pharaoh the Egyptian King who  does not belive in God said there is non wise as Joseph Genesis 41:39  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is 
none so discreet and wise as thou art.


When diving Wisdom displayed  in the life of David Saul the king of Isreal was  afraid of him, 1 Samuel 14-15  And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.  15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
This Wisdom does not hide itself, when you let it display in you people becomes afraid  of you, because you becomes the property of God and his Wisdom from above is  functioning in you, and he curse whoever curse you Genesis 12:3, This Wisdom gives 
you self control, God becomes your everything, you no longer think about what to eat  or what to wear because you know your God will provide all this, you don't think about your problem you let God carry all your load,  you problem becomes God problem and whoever touch you have touched God.

This Wisdom gives you the courage to leave your battle to God, you don't respond when  people threatening your life, job, family or anything you let them fight God who owns  your life while you remain quite, Exodus 14:14 "The LORD will fight for you while you  keep silent."

As you read this I want youjoin Jesus in   the cruise to Canaan of our days, it's easy and simple, the bible said Solomon loves 
the Lord and this Wisdom comes upon him, 1 Kings 3:3 , the love of God is to obey his  commandment, the fast you realize your  life can end anytime the easier it becomes for you to love  God who has promise us eternal life, those Passengers of Air France from Brazil does 
not know their life will end so soon, there’s  no repentance in the grave, you have  lived canal minded life for a long time, why don't you try this out and  see the  difference, its easy you can do it.


THE FEAROF GOD, Daniel refused the king reach food and refuse to bow to the gods of  King Nebuchadnezzar because he has the fear of God in him and the Wisdom of God gives him understanding to know that God never fails those who loved him, the bible record that the Wisdom of God was on display in the live of Daniel, Daniel, Hananiah,  Mishael and Azariah,  open to the book of Daniel 1:17
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and  wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

The fear of God , abstaining from anything sin will automatically open the doors for  Spiritual Wisdom to come in and display in your life, out of experience the Wisdom of  God changes the way I see things of this World.

Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that the Wisdom to reveal his dream  can never be found in  the World, scientists , astrologist, professors of Cambridge and Oxford does not have  this wisdom, but every Child of God is entitled to this priceless Wisdom, Daniel 2: 27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath  demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew  unto the king.

And when this Wisdom manifested itself in the life of Daniel King  Nebuchadnezzar confirms the above saying, Daniel 2:47 The king answered unto Daniel,  and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and  a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

Even Daniel confirms that this Wisdom is not ordinary,  Daniel 2:30 But as for me,  this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living.

Don't talk about this Wisdom when you don't have it, you can not figure out what it  does , its a kind of Wisdom that comes with a controlling spirit, it monitors your  movement and direct your paths, it's a loving and peaceable wisdom, it tells you to  love your enemies and pray for them, its a kind of Wisdom that separates you from sin  and you become contented with what you have, its a wisdom that removes evilness and wrath far a way from you, it encourages you to humble your self and look  unto God who can never fail.

All the powerful men and women of God whose name are writing  in the most Holy Book the bible have this  type of Wisdom because of their burning love for God, Peter said of Apostle Paul in 2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved  brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you.


Every new converted strong believer always comes back with good testimony, the first  question a new believer ask is why didn’t I discover this since, it's a peaceable  Wisdom, it frustrates your enemy when you do not respond to their action against you,  they become frustrated because they expected your reaction but the new Wisdom from  Above says no let God handle that for you.


If you love God and this Wisdom is not displaying in you then something is still  missing, though this Wisdom grows as our faith grows, luke 17:5.

The Wisdom of God comes through love, the bible record it that Solomon loved God and  God gave him the Wisdom from Above, Solomon must have loved every man and God, because  your can not Love God and hate your neighbors , the law says love the Lord your God with all your 
hearth, and love your neighbors as you love your self, what is brethren love? lets see the  book of 1 John 3: 15-18
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath  eternal life abiding in him.

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we  ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up  his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in  truth.


Verses 18 is saying that love is not just a word of mouth, love is by action, so many  people don't have this love, we need this love and the Love of God to receive God’s Wisdom , If you neighbor is in need and you are in the capacity of helping him but  you don't then the love of God does not exist in you, the only way to demonstrate the  love of God in you is by action, let the World see Jesus in your life , its required 
that every God loving son prove the sincererity of his or her Love ,2:8 Corinthians I  am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others  the sincerity of your love also.

We need to prove the World that we have love, let the World see Jesus in your life by  giving to the poor and those in desperate need because God proves it that he love us,  John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, God so 
loved and he so give, so you can't be in love without being a giver, think of it can you  Love a woman and not give her whatever she need, the same way you can not love God  without giving him what he so desired of you which is righteousness, and you can not  love you brother or sister without the heart of giving if the Wsdom from Above must  display in your life.

Now listing to this, every carnal minded giver always expect something in return, but  spiritual minded givers always know they are rewarded by God and expect nothing in  return from man because Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into  the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him 1  Corinthians 2:9.


Paul said his speech and preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but  in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, You can only gain access to this Wisdom  by revelation, you cant get it with power or force, God only reveals this Wisdom to  those  that loves him, the Wisdom from above dwells with those that love him, those  that meditate on his World day and night, those that confess Jesus wherever they 
are, those that sing praises to him every hour of the day, and those that live their  life like Joshua, It's available spiritually to those that loves
God,1 Corinthians  2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all  things, yea, the deep things of God, its the quality of your love for a man that  entitles you to his secret, people can only open up their secrets to their love one,  the same way God can only reveal his secret to you when you become closer to him.


No matter how you prove something to  a blind man he still can't see it, the same way you  can not see what is not reveal to you, you can never know this Wisdom accept its  revealed to you, you need to apply the necessary biblical techniques to get the  revelation of divine Wisdom, the hotter your love for God the greater your access to  divine Wisdom.

No matter how financially stable you maybe , without divine Wisdom your heart is  never at rest, fear still grips your mind, fear of insecurity and fear of death and  other kinds of things will keep brothering your mind, your joy can never be complete  without divine Wisdom, Divine Wisdom give you the power to feel free, you deceive people while the think you are worried about life threatening conditions or other problems


As you seek this Wisdom by loving God and his Word, meditating on it day and night  you will surely come back with a testimony, it happened to David in Psalm 119:97-98   David come back with and testimony and said.

97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are  ever with me,, the Scripture does not lie, we are serving the God of David, the  beginning and the end , the Wisdom from above makes wise, because whatever is from  Above is Above all, the application of the Word of God in your daily live  automatically draws this Divine Wisdom close to you, God values this Wisdom more 
than anything, because it give you access to eternal life, it give you peace and love  in this life and access to all spiritual blessing, it said in  Mathew 7:24 Therefore  whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise  man, which built his house upon a rock:.


Now let us hear the conclusion of this whole topic  , open to the book of Ecclesiastes 12 13.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: 
for this is the whole duty of man.
