The second kind of wisdom is found in verses 17-18 of above scriptures-this is true wisdom and it is by this that any fighter can face, fight, and win in any battle of life. Therefore ‘wise counsel’ is actually counsel based on true wisdom. And it is this brand of wisdom that is ‘lost’ to hearts of human beings.

Job 28(KJV) verse 12 "But where shall wisdom be found? and where is place of understanding?"

This all-important question has to be corrected answered for anyone to truly experience real victory in this world!

Job 28(KJV) verse 23 "God understandeth way thereof, and he knoweth place thereof."

This statement of truth is what brings turning point in making of true champions! But how can this be relevant to us today?!

Job 28(KJV) verse 28 "And unto man he said, Behold, fear of LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding."

From above scripture, we learn from God Himself fear of LORD is wisdom!

This reverential fear is possessed only by those who have a personal covenant relationship with God. Anyone can enter into this relationship by humbly coming to Jesus Christ (Matt 11:28); repenting from one’s sins (Acts 2:38); and receiving Him (John 1: 12-13) as personal Lord and Saviour. It is only in Christ that this brand of wisdom is ‘found’!

How does any covenant child of God access wise counsel?

This is done regularly by indwelling Spirit of God who teaches God’s people from scriptures directly or indirectly through lives and words of others (written or spoken).

Background: These people were Jews who are covenant people of God.In this dispensation of grace, anyone can have a personal covenant relationship with God only through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Membership: Each of them belonged to one of two and a half tribes of Israel. No Christian should fight his battles alone. One needs to be a member of a church, fellowship, or ministry at a local level to be supported by others, and to support others too. Similarly, any Christian group can ‘network’ with one or more other groups to be on cutting edge in Lord’s battles. Maturity: None of them was born a man. Spiritual growth is vital to be Christian to become strong in Lord for battle. Trials, other Christians, and basic disciplines like prayer, fasting, and bible study are vital tools in this regard. Skill: The Christian should know what his weapons really are and how to use them, grounded in Word and yielded to Holy Spirit. Opposition: Discernment is needed to know real adversary and courage is important in facing foe Strategy: By prayer of faith, any Christian will humbly turn mighty hand of God to enforce victory of Christ on Calvary on his behalf. Territory: ‘Possessing land’ goes beyond enjoying being blessed in Lord. It also involves being a blessing for Lord in saving lost souls from wicked one in a dying world around us-God’s kingdom is advanced and Lord takes all credit! 2 Corinthians 2(KJV) verse 14 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest savour of his knowledge by us in every place."
