Hello to all Christian Communities on Steemit especially to all steemchurch parishioners and welcome to today's topic tagged "The Operation & Baptism Of The Spirit Of Wisdom". The story of creation presents us with the workings of the spirit of Wisdom in the creative process.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The emergence of wisdom is heralded by the move of the spirit. The move of the spirit of God is the indicator of the flow of wisdom. It was when the spirit of God move that the instant knowledge of what to do emerged. God was swatching the formlessness, the void and darkness upon the face of the deep, until the spirit moved upon the face of the waters. The move of the spirit sparked off the flow of creative ideas and then "...God Said...".

The same spirit resides in every child of God. Because you are indwelt by the Holyspirit, Wisdom will answer for you at every point you are confronted by challenging circumstances so that you always know what next to do turn introduce light into darkness. Some very significant happened to David in first Smauel 16. "Samuel took the horn of oil , and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. ... the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward..." I Samuel 16vs 13. Soon after that encounter , we are told in verse 18 that he "is cunning in playing and a mighty valiant man and a man of war and prudent in matters, and a comely person and the Lord is with him. The enduement of the spirit of God upon him with innovative abilities , prudence and wittiness that resulted in his valiance and skill in music, such that he casts out evil spirits by playing on musical instruments. The endowment of the spirit upon David also made him "a mighty valiant man". David was actually turned into another man.

David entered into a dimension where he needed not to shoot a single arrow in his warfare: the Lord did his fighting for Him. 2 Samuel 5 vs 23-24

23 And when David enquired of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

You too can graduate to the point where you do not need to go around before you make rounds. It is time to sit down for creativity; you have gone around enough. When you are creative, you sit on one spot affecting the world around you. What puts you ahead in life is more of your head, than you feet. It takes wisdom to spread your affect. People will no more see your sweat before they see you win. You will no longer make noise before you make news. It is all the result of the spirit of Wisdom.

The Baptism Of Wisdom

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Bezaleel's appointment for this task is anchored on the baptism he received in verse 3 of the above scripture. "I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship. The worker , perhaps had an unpopular background until the spirit of God came upon him. The spirit of God turns a dummy into an expert. Recently, I listened to Oral Roberts speaking on a program where he said he once stammered. Oral Roberts stammered, but when he met Jesus at age 17, something happened to him. Being born again, he went up again. Today, he is leading people, paving way for others to rise up also. Your background and experience are no barriers where the Spirit Of Wisdom is operational.

The scripture above reveals that by His encounter with the spirit of God, Bezaleel is the originator of every material thing that was fabricated in the house of God, because of the wisdom of God. When the Spirit came upon him, the anointing resultes into wisdom and creativity. The Spirit of wisdom is God's gift placed inside you, to which 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 7 testifies that, "....we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power maybe of God, and not of us. It is God's plan to display His glory by putting His spirit within you. God's wisdom is ordained for our glory. The glory of a thing is a reflection of the wisdom employed to make it happen.

The truth is that as a child of God, you carry something that is nt visible to the world around you. It si the same power that operated in Joseph and Daniel in the old testament. It is a treasure whose value transcends educational, social and economic accolades. It was impossible to marry the events and effects on these boys with their size, age, certificate, experience and all other human lines of consideration. Several times Daniel was confronted with questions like "...Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah...?. I gues Daniel as an earthen vessel did not look like somebody who could handle the challenge . Please, let nobody despise you because of your size and al yardsticks f human assessment. Mathew 13 vs 55-56 says;

55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

This will be your testimony from today. It is high time the world around you discovered that you are not made of ordinary stuff. You carry treasure. When people see me, they marvel at my size, Some even confess that they could not relate my voice to my stature. People are amazed at the effect and impact of my work. I may look fragile on the outside, but you can't resist the force and agility of the spirit that is at work in me. You carry treasure within you. You are not a mediocre. The spirit of Wisodm within you makes awesome things happen.

Several observations are in order: First, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift promised by God the Father. That means it comes wholly apart from anything we do. It is an undeserved blessing from God. Second, Jesus had previously instructed his disciples regarding this promised gift. This evidently refers to the instruction Jesus gave his disciples in the Upper Room Discourse—John 13-17, especially John 14:16-18 and 16:7-15. Jesus pointed to a day when the disciples would experience an outpouring of the Holy Spirit unlike anything they had known up until that moment. Third, water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism are somehow related to each other. Fourth, the baptism of the Holy Spirit was absolutely necessary for effective Christian witness. That’s why Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem. He knew they could never reach the world with the gospel unless they had the power of the Holy Spirit working in them.

With that as background, we turn now to some basic questions about the baptism of the Holy Spirit.(1)

All of us have God's written Wisdom lying in our laps, but many of us, because of busyness, distractions, hurts, unbelief, and other self-centered thoughts and emotions, don't take the time to sit at God's feet, listen and hear what He wants us to say to us. Instead, we depend upon what we think and feel, what others are telling us and what our circumstances are. Consequently, when God allows "trials" in our lives, we don't understand what He requires of us, nor how to act. Thus, we end up falling before we even begin.

The holy spirit of God is much present nowadays, when God created the heaven and earth, it was through word and his spirit moved as well.
People tend to limit the power of God so much, they forget it's limitless really.
Jesus called his disciples men of little faith because they couldn't understand the concept of the spirit of God and the world as well.
This is really beautiful OS I love it.

Wisdom of God is required in our everyday life. Thanks for this post

God giveth wisdom and we as a christain we need wisdom to function in this world. There are so many people who lack wisdom from God.

Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

18 enlightening the eyes of your mind, that you may know what is the hope that he has called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 and what the super-great greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the operation of the power of his force,

God gives us a spirit of wisdom to have a clear vision, a clear understanding of the revelations and plans he has and wants for his chosen ones.

Wisdom is the principal thing!!!

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For its profit is better than the profit of silver, and its gain than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast. (Proverbs 3:13-18)

We often fail in our daily struggle to act with wisdom. It does not come easily or naturally. Although it is easier to follow our less-than-wise impulses, the reward for acting with wisdom is great. When we give it our best effort, the payoff in self-esteem and inner peace will compensate us many times over.

wow great post thanks for sharing with us all

The Holy Spirit gives wisdom in its abundance to believers who call on Him. Just like David was instilled with the spirit by divine appointment, we are by right bequeathed this spirit of wisdom when we live in Christ and obey all God's commandments. Thanks for sharing brother.

The sacred soul of God is much present these days, when God made the paradise and earth, it was through word and his soul moved too.

Individuals tend to constrain the energy of God so much, they overlook it's boundless truly.

Jesus called his followers men of little confidence since they couldn't comprehend the idea of the soul of God and the world also.

This is extremely delightful OS I adore it.

We should not forget that wisdom comment from the lord who made the heaven and the earth. As a christain, we need wisdom from God.

That was an extraordinary adventure on a theme we as a whole need to peruse

baptism in the Holy Spirit attains two things.
Firstly, it cling us spiritually with the death and resurrection of Christ, uniting us with Him.
Secondly, baptism in the Holy Spirit joins us to the body of Christ, and identifies us as united with other believers.
Practically, baptism in the Holy Spirit means we are risen with Him to newness of life (Romans 6:4"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.") and that we should exercise our spiritual gifts to keep the body of Christ functioning properly as stated in 1 Corinthians 12:13."For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;"
