Wisdom For The Young

 

The Bible says, "Wisdom is the principal thing.." That is to say, we should give great priority to seeking and getting wisdom, particularly as young people who want to live a successful and fulfilled life. Indeed, Wisdom is an integral determinant when it comes to true success...

Unfortunately, many young people today are not interested in wisdom in our present world. They prefer garbages and a quick hasty life. And the truth is, a life lived without wisdom will always have terrible repercussions. The person's steps (even the very little ones) will keep leading them into issues

Now, in a funny world like ours, there are different absurd things that are deemed wisdom, and different absurd sources people seeks to get wisdom.

But the best thing to do as far as the chase for wisdom is concerned is to seek Wisdom Himself. God is Wisdom. He is the True Source of Eternal Wisdom. And what we learn from Him gets us empowered to live a fulfilled eternal life...

Truly, we can learn and hear a lot from Him through scriptures/the Bible (which are His Words). So, while there are many scriptures which young people should give great priority to if they want to be wise, what I want to do now is to draw our attention to one or two.

"Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, 'I have no pleasure in them"

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear GOD and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil" Ecclesiastes 12: 1, 13,14

As a young person, your primary purpose and aim should be ensuring an intimate righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature, through Jesus Christ. This is what empowers you to have dominion over creation. And which makes you a true success both here on earth and in eternity.

Humans were created by the Creator to have dominion over creation. Unfortunately, we lost this when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. But Jesus Christ came to restore the Authority we lost. We are meant to have dominion and exercise rulership. Hence, it is an abberation to be a slave to sin, sickness, poverty, satan, hell fire, and other negative things. The way to have true dominion is to ensure an intimate righteous relationship with God, which is what empowers us to rule as kings and priests. "And (Jesus Christ) have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth" Revelation 5:10. This is your destiny - but it can only be a reality in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Is More Than Sufficient. If you don't know anybody, but you know Jesus, it is more than enough. You don't need to have connections before you excel - once you know Jesus Christ, you won't be small. Hence, it is wisdom to have a relationship with Jesus Christ

Wisdom demands that young people should make up their minds to start serving GOD from now. Walking with God in spirit and in truth is what ensure a fulfilled life. The best time to do so is now. Because that's one primary purpose we were created

Live your life with wisdom. Always remembering that God is taking notes on what you do... In secret and public. A day will come when we will give account of ourselves.

If we can live our lives in complete obedience to what God is saying and have said in His word the Bible, our individual lives and collective societies will experience true peace and prosperity. It doesn't matter your religion - mediate on the words of the Bible and live your life in accordance to biblical principles.
