About Proverbs and words of wisdom, Pastor Josh did speak
With knowledge and understanding, wisdom is what we seek
Knowledge is about facts and understanding is implications
Wisdom is proven over time through consistent applications
Nigeria with its abundance of resources, Josh did compare
To Singapore and Botswana with good leaders who care
The difference in economic growth is clear for all to see
Similarly, Solomon asked for wisdom in First Kings three
Solomon said the beginning of wisdom, per Proverbs four
Was to obtain, at all cost, understanding more and more
In Proverbs nine, wisdom also requires the fear of the Lord
The Holy Spirit will ensure our efforts remain aboveboard
Four steps to have integrity and wisdom, Josh then did share
The first is to pray, a two way dialogue because God does care
We should however not use prayer as an opportunity to complain
For Christ went through so much more, enduring all sorts of pain
And if we feel wronged by others, our response needs to be right
For those are the instances where we can truly share God’s light
The second is to meditate on God’s word, so it is on our heart
Often times, this means to read less but think more on our part
The third is to preach, which also reminds ourselves of the truth
The fourth is to fellowship, which is key for parents and youth
In summary, Josh turned to Colossians three from verse fifteen
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” is evidently seen
To “admonish one another with all wisdom” is a good reminder
And to give thanks in all that we do makes us wiser and kinder
