There are three types of wisdom:
- The wisdom of God (I Corinthians 2:6-7)
- The wisdom of the world (I Corinthians 2:6)
- The wisdom of man (Ecclesiastes 1:16-18)
The gift of the word of wisdom is the application of knowledge that God gives you ( I Corinthians 2:6-7).
This type of wisdom is a gift which cannot be gained through study or experience and should
by no means try to replace them. The gift of the word of wisdom is seeing life
from God's perspective. As a Christian exercises this gift, he begins to develop a fear
of the Lord. This is the "beginning of wisdom" according to Proverbs 1:7.
The gift of the word of wisdom is also the revealing of prophetic
future; it is speaking hidden truths of what is not known.
It is a supernatural perspective to ascertain the divine means for accomplishing
God's will in a given situation, and is a divinely given power to appropriate
spiritual intuition in problem solving.
Furthermore, this gift involves having
a sense of divine direction, being led by the Holy Spirit to act appropriately in
a given set of circumstances, and rightly applying knowlege.
The gift of wisdom is the wisdom of God. It is the supernatural impartation of facts; it
is not natural. You can't earn it. It is received from God through prayer (Ephesians 1:17).
The gift of the word of wisdom works interactively with the other two
revelation gifts: knowledge and discernment.
