Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the spirit, which is of God; that we might
know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12–13).
Part of the ministry
of the Holy Spirit in your life is to help you discover your heritage and
inheritance in Christ Jesus. Then, as He unveils them to you, you’re expected
to speak them: “…Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s
wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth.” Notice that it didn’t say,
“which things also we speak of”; rather, it says we speak them. Just like it
says in 1 Corinthians 2:6, “Howbeit we speak wisdom”; we don’t talk about
wisdom; we speak wisdom, and wisdom is the Word of God.
There’re many who
“speak of” wisdom, but don’t speak wisdom; they can write books on wisdom, but
they don’t speak wisdom. Speaking wisdom is speaking the Word. For example, the
Word says you’re a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4); that’s the
wisdom of God. Therefore, when you, on the basis of that scripture, declare,
“I’m an associate of the God-kind; a partaker of His grace, glory, and
expression of His righteousness,” you’re speaking wisdom.
When you declare, “All
my needs are supplied according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus,”
despite inflation, recession, and global economic meltdown, you’re speaking the
wisdom of God. When you say, “I have the life of God in me; I live in divine
health twenty-four hours a day,” in spite of the pain you may be feeling,
you’re speaking wisdom.
People may jeer or
mock at you for speaking the wisdom of God, but always remember that the wisdom
of God is incongruous with the world’s system. When you make it a practice to
always speak the wisdom of God, you’ll be misunderstood by many, especially
those who are ruled by the senses, but don’t let it deter you. Declare what the
Word says concerning you, irrespective of the situation.
Declare your
righteousness, health, dominion, and oneness with the Lord with boldness. Speak
the wisdom of God always, and your life will glorify God.
CONFESSION: The wisdom
of God is in my heart and in my mouth today! God’s Word is as fire shut up in
my bones; and as I speak, I dissolve doubts; I’m prevailing and reigning in
life by grace through righteousness, and the glory of God is seen and expressed
through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
