Speaking Wisdom

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory (1Corinthians 2:7).

We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery; what is it to speak wisdom? Reading 1 Corinthians 2:12-13 gives us an idea. It says, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit, which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”

Notice the underlined portion; it didn’t say, “Which things also we speak of”; rather, it says we speak them. We read something similar in verse 6; it says, “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect….”

We don’t talk about wisdom; we speak wisdom, and wisdom is the Word of God. Speaking wisdom is speaking the Word. For example, Colossians 1:27 says, “…Christ in you, the hope of glory.” When you, on the basis of that scripture affirm, “I’ll forever be a victor; my life is the expression of the glory and dominion of Christ,”

Notice that it didn’t say, “Which things also we speak of”; rather, it says we speak them. We read something similar in verse 6; it says, “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect….”

We don’t talk about wisdom; we speak wisdom, and wisdom is the Word of God. Speaking wisdom is speaking the Word.

For example, Colossians 1:27 says, “…Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

When you, on the basis of that scripture affirm, “I’ll forever be a victor; my life is the expression of the glory and dominion of Christ,” you’re speaking wisdom. When you declare, “I have no lack or want because I’m an heir of God and joint-heir with Christ; the whole world is mine”; you’re speaking the wisdom of God.

You’re speaking wisdom, when, irrespective of the symptom you may be feeling, you say, “The life of God is activated in every fibre of my being; I’m full of life.”

There’re those who may consider you to be out of wits for speaking the wisdom of God; that’s because the wisdom of God is foolishness to the natural man. 1 Corinthians 2:14 declares, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Speak the wisdom of God always, and your life will glorify God. Declare your oneness with the Lord. Declare your righteousness, health, dominion, and glory in Christ Jesus. Glory to God!

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God… (1 Corinthians 2:6–7)

David was just a young boy, but he believed in God’s Word. When Goliath threatened Israel, David didn’t panic—he spoke boldly: “This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand…” (1 Samuel 17:46). That was wisdom! He didn’t talk fear or defeat; he declared what God could do.

Speaking wisdom means saying what God says, no matter what you see or feel. For example, you can say, “I have peace,” even when things feel tough. That’s how faith works—declaring God’s truth instead of your circumstances.

So, fill your heart with God’s Word by studying your Bible. Then, speak it over your life, your school, and your family. Say with confidence: “I’m full of joy. I have the wisdom of God. I walk in victory every day!”

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).

Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life is to help you discover your heritage and inheritance in Christ Jesus. Then, as He unveils them to you, you’re expected to speak them: “…Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth”.

Notice that it didn’t say, “which things also we speak of”; rather, it says we speak them. Just like it says in 1 Corinthians 2:6, “Howbeit we speak wisdom”; we don’t talk about wisdom; we speak wisdom, and wisdom is the Word of God.

There are many who “speak of” wisdom, but don’t speak wisdom; they can write books on wisdom, but they don’t speak wisdom. Speaking wisdom is speaking the Word. For example, the Word says you’re a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4); that’s the wisdom of God.

Therefore, when you, on the basis of that scripture, declare, “I’m an associate of the God-kind; a partaker of His grace, glory, and expression of His righteousness”, you’re speaking wisdom.

When you declare, “All my needs are supplied according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus”, despite inflation, recession, and global economic meltdown, you’re speaking the wisdom of God. When you say, “I have the life of God in me; I live in divine health twenty-four hours a day”, in spite of the pain you may be feeling, you’re speaking wisdom.

People may jeer or mock at you for speaking the wisdom of God, but always remember that the wisdom of God is incongruous with the world’s system. When you make it a practice to always speak the wisdom of God, you’ll be misunderstood by many, especially those who are ruled by the senses, but don’t let it deter you. Declare what the Word says concerning you, irrespective of the situation.

Declare your righteousness, health, dominion, and oneness with the Lord with boldness. Speak the wisdom of God always and your life will glorify God.
