The wisdom of man ... The wisdom of God

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

The apostle Paul spoke wisdom from God "to them who are perfect" ... to those perfected by God in Christ.  (I Cor. 2)

The world will reject the wisdom of God considering it as foolishness.

But the people of God rejoice in the wisdom from God knowing it is everything to them.

Examples:

The wisdom of man:  Plan for retirement

The wisdom of God:  Mt. 6 ..Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air:for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

When we consider this, we understand how the world cannot receive the wisdom of God for we act by faith when we believe God.  They have faith in their own wisdom and in what man says.  So God's wisdom seems to them to be foolish. 

Another example:  

Wisdom of the world:  Get as much money as you can possibly get.  Take jobs to get money and try to get jobs that pay more money.  Follow after money. 

Wisdom of God:  I Tim. 6 ...  5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:from such withdraw thyself.
 
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
 
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

We, who are of God, grow into the ways of God, carefully considering what God says and choosing to go in HIS way and live according to HIS Word. 

In I Cor. 2, Paul says ... 

... 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 

... 6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect:yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
