The Benefits of Wisdom: Rhema and Revelations

The Benefits of Wisdom: Rhema and Revelations

My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom…Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. – Proverbs 2:1-5

The endowment of wisdom we will consider today is its ability to help someone understand and know God from an unusual perspective or a closer range. The knowledge and understanding that wisdom confers are beyond the superficial value. They are also beyond the lip service most people pay to having a knowledge of God.

Indeed, not everyone who claims to know God truly does. Further, not everyone who preaches God has a grounded knowledge or understanding of Him. God is beyond how He is peddled by contemporary demagogues. Often, the content of His portraiture to the laity mostly focuses on His powers and abilities, His works and wonders alone. But He is beyond what He does. “I AM” means that He is dynamic, ever evolving, and is not static in nature.

Besides, what we know of His works is compromised as humans are limited in their knowledge of the vast works of God. The irony of this is that the devout who regularly pray to God and observe the rites of righteousness are usually not interested in extra-terrestrial exploration to enable them to know God beyond the earth. Whereas those who are inclined towards scientific investigations and have better knowledge of the complexity of the universe are usually not interested in religion and they can sometimes be condescending in their attitude toward those whose acquaintanceship with God is based mostly on faith in His existence and sovereignty. Thus, a widening disconnect between the two divides of knowing.

The truth is most of humanity’s knowledge of God is restricted to the little we know about the earth and our environment. But God’s greatness is beyond this hemisphere. He is vast in nature and scope, presiding over trillions of galaxies, known and unknown to humanity, with each galaxy taking about tens of thousands of light years to cover.

Therefore, much as the existence of God is universally accepted, there remain many things about His personality and ways that are not common knowledge to man. But wisdom is able to help one cover ground in this area. Wisdom, by virtue of its elevated status, can help anyone who possesses it to have uncommon knowledge and understanding of God in certain areas that most people are not privy to. This can be called Rhema or a unique revelation on the standing, character, and disposition of God on a matter.

Rhema and revelations are offshoots of wisdom because the depth of thinking that produces them can only be endowed by wisdom released from God.
