By Ovundah Nyeche.

Today Church, ‘The Wisdom Place’, was interesting and our Pastor Osiri Wisdom spoke about “5 ways to get wisdom” and the message was hinged on the young Jesus’ encounter with the religious teachers when his parents took him for the Passover festival in Jerusalem.

These were some of the things I wrote down in my jotter.

Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
Luke 2:52 NLT

As you grow in stature, you ought to also grow in wisdom.

So how do we grow in wisdom.

Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions.All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Luke 2:46 – 47 NLT

1) Sitting: Where are you sitting? Who are you sitting with? Where you sit, is where you absorb wisdom. Jesus sat with the teachers of the law; if you are going somewhere you need to sit with those going where you are going and those already where you are headed to.

As this year has started, you need to do an audit of where you have been sitting.

On week to week where do you sit? As you do your hair in the salon, go to relax, hang around people, where do you sit?

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
Psalms 1:1 NKJV



2) Listening: The person you sit with and listen to will affect your direction. What are you listening to? Who are you listening to? In your gadgets what do you watch more? In those places you sit out, what is being discussed? What enters your ear consistently?

Even faith comes by hearing…what do you fill your ears with? In this year, chose to listen to wholesome things and stuff that will move you in the direction you wish to go to.

3) Ask questions: Ask questions for clarification, ask questions so that you can know. The kind of questions you ask determines the kind of answer. Also the best questions are the ones you ask yourself.

Why am I not going forward? Why is my prayer life tupsy turvy? Why is my marriage not working? Why do my relationships always go left? Why is my spiritual life upside down?

Questions can drive thinking and actions.

4) Understanding: Understanding is a by product of the first 3. It is the ability to make meaning out of information or facts.

5) Answering: By sitting, listening, learning, asking questions and having understanding, Jesus was competent to answer questions even at a young age. Nothing just happens.

He ended the sermon by quoting James 1: 5 ” If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn’t find fault.”
James 1:5 NIRV

I was blessed, and I made personal decisions.
