Be A Fool To Be Wise

By: akfredo

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (1 Corinthians 3:18)

It takes being a fool to become wise in this world. Until you become a fool in this world, you can never be wise. If you are wise in the wisdom of this world, you will never be wise because God has made foolish the wisdom of this world. It is written; “Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? “(1 Corinthians 1:20)

The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19). The wisdom of this world is programmed to fail thus those who are operating in the wisdom of this world are programming themselves for failure. This is because the wisdom of this world will surely come to nought. (1 Corinthians 2:6)
“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:”

How Do You Become A Fool To Be Wise?

We are fools for Christ's sake……. (1 Corinthians 4:10)

To be wise in this world, you must become a fool for Christ’s seek. Until you become a fool for Christ’s seek, you will never be wise. You become a fool for Christ’s seek by preaching Christ (1 Corinthians 1:23). The Preaching of Christ which is the foolishness of God for the purpose of winning souls into the Kingdom of Light is how you become a fool to be wise. (1 Corinthians 1:21-25).

The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of this world and it is foolishness to the world (I Corinthians 1:23) but God is using His Foolishness which the world call foolish to certify the wise.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. (1 Corinthians 1: 27-29)

If you desire to be wise in this world, you must become a fool for Christ’s seek by preaching Christ, His death, burial and resurrection in this world in order to win souls into the Kingdom of Light. (1 Corinthians 1:17-18/21) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
The Power of God in the above verse is synonymous with the Wisdom of God because Christ is the Power and Wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24).

The Preaching of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ in this world is the preaching of the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). This is the only act that makes you wise in this world. It is written;

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (Proverbs 11:30)

Prayer

Dear Father of Mercies, I thank you for showing me through your Word today how to be wise. I declare that your Wisdom is at work in me even now, causing me to preach Christ in this world and win souls into your Kingdom in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
