WISDOM ORDAINED UNTO OUR GLORY (PROV. 19:8)
Without glory is shame and without Wisdom is foolishness, and we the believers have been admonised to walk circumspectly (with consideration for all that is important), not as fools but as wise. The wisest decision on Earth is to be 'BORN AGAIN' and this is the beginning of the journey of wisdom but the believer must grow up to know the wisdom of God and reasonably say no to the other kinds of wisdom, else, he will be trapped by mingling with other kinds of wisdom and this will lead him into confusion and other kinds of evil. And if he lives this kind of life for a long time, he will be living in FEAR instead of living a life full of love, power and sound mind. This kind of life denies the believer the full confidence in God and His word and renders him incompetent in everything and in other areas of life and ineffective in his christian life.
WHAT SEPERATES MEN (SONS) FROM BABIES
What seperates sons form babies is wisdom. Wisdom is not for babies and glory is not for babies either, yet the earnest expectation of the creatures wait for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God. And the only way to grow out of babyhood to sonship is by being changed from one degree of glory to another. And the degree of the glory of God you will attain determines the degree of your change to 'THE SAME IMAGE'. In other words, the born again are divine beings with divine nature but were first born human before they were born divine. That is, with divine nature. Therefore, for the believer in Christ to attain to his divine nature (divinity) in being, he must come in contact with the wisdom which God has ordained for his glory, if not he will be living a wasted life on Earth. Many have lived, not discovering this wisdom that is ordained for the believers' glory, this is why it seems the glory of the believer is like the Earthly glory. Though all believers have the glory of God but not all are living in the light of that glory (II Cor. 4:6-7, Rom. 8:30).
"And the glory which you have given me, I have given them, that they may be one as we are one" John. 17:22. One important thing to note is that at the fall, man did not come short of his glory which is the Earthly glory but fell short of the glory of God.
The end call (call of the believer) is to obtain this glory of Christ- the glory of the begotten Son (II Thes. 2:13-14, I Pet. 1:24).
This wisdom ordained unto our glory, is a Spiritual Wisdom not Earthly or human. Not sensual wisdom or devil inspired wisdom. Spiritual Wisdom is obtainable from divine knowledge, which is also known as Revelation knowledge, (Matt. 16:16-18) and divine knowledge is obtainable from divine TRUTH that came by Jesus Christ (John. 1:17; 18:31-32). This Divine wisdom is foolishness to men and a trap to the devil and his cohorts (I Cor. 1:21; 2:6-8). This wisdom is Wisdom from above. It is pure, peacable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy, etc.
ADENDUM
He who love Wisdom (Jesus Christ) love his soul and as such preserves same, (Prov. 19:8). Closely related to wisdom is initiative and it is the brigde between wisdom and knowledge. Initiative is the spirit needed to originate action- it helps the believer to think and act ahead. all the things that will happen from the beginning of this world to the end are clearly spelt-out in the word of God (John. 1:1-4). Therefore, the present-day believers must initiate positive actions by first giving themslves wholely to God and His word, then doing that which the Lord requires as these shall reveal in them the MANIFESTATION God so desired.
