And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. (1 Corinthians 2:1-10 ESV)
Wisdom is not something you can read and just get. It is not about knowledge of a list of requirements. It is not memorizing a specific text or sets of texts.
Wisdom is not something that is acquired by reading and knowing a bunch of stuff. Wisdom is living in a way that allows God’s love to shine in and through everything we do.
So any one who claims to know who is in and who is not probably does not have true wisdom or knowledge and should not be using lofty speech and telling others to turn or burn… True wisdom allows God to work on His time. It is not about being strong and making others follow you. It is about showing your wisdom and weakness by letting God shine through.
