Why is 'Wisdom the principal thing?' By Pastor Raphael Idoko

Simple guide on how to study and meditate on the word of God. This article is intended to encourage you to study the word of God daily.
Text: Proverbs 4:7  it reads: "Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding" The key words in our text are wisdom, principal and understanding. Principal means most important or chief. Therefore our text can also read: wisdom is the most important thing or the chief thing. Please note that the Bible doesn't say: wisdom is one of the important things or one of the chief things, rather it says, wisdom is the most important thing.

Note again that wisdom is the most important thing NOT money, long life, love, faith, hope, prophecy, miracle, tongue e.t.c. if we agree with the writer of Proverbs 4:7 that wisdom is the principal thing; what then is wisdom? What are those things that make wisdom the principal or most important thing? Do we equally prioritize wisdom in our individual life, family and ministry? Do we seek wisdom before embarking on any venture? How do we know if we are operating in wisdom? Read Proverbs 4 , 5, 6,7 and 8.

Question 3 is very crucial. Ask Pastors, Evangelists and religious leaders. "What is that thing that makes wisdom the principal thing or the most important thing" and why is the teaching of wisdom relegated to the background in many Churches?
