+=WISDOM=+

Wisdom is not Knowledge.
Knowledge does not amount to Wisdom.
However Wisdom comes from Knowledge of the Word of God.
Wisdom can be seen through a person's lifestyle.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all.

Godly Wisdom (James 1:5)
~> Gentleness - able to have self-control.
~> Purity - will lead us closer to God.
~> Peacefulness - confront the problems.
~> Friendliness - good listener.
~> Understanding - being compassionate, forgiving and filled with love. 
~> Fruitfulness - multiplication of blessings.
~> Justice - righteousness and fairness.
~> Genuine - being transparent.

Earthly Wisdom (1 Corinthians 3:19)
~> Worldly - led by people except God.
~> Self-centred - care only for own interest.
~> Demonic - bitterness, jealousy, condemnation, lies and confusion.
~> Natural - going with the flow to please oneself.
~> Foolishness - does not fear God.
