The Limitation Of Human Wisdom

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 3:7-10(KJV); Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Human wisdom is limited.

Part of its limitation is in its inability to comprehend spiritual matters.

Such was the dilemma of Nicodemus in our theme scripture.

As the Christ spoke about what it means to be Born Again, Nicodemus found that he could not understand Him.

As such, he asks the Lord, “How can these things be?”

Christ’s response is very revealing. He asks, “Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?”

Nicodemus was supposed to be an expert in these matters but he did not fully understand how the world of spirits functions.

This was because his mastery was based on human wisdom and not the fullness of the revelation of the Spirit.

Mastery sought outside the wisdom from above will always be limited in knowledge.

Sometimes, the experts of this world assume the place of God and unfortunately, some believers treat them as so.

When they claim that the economy is failing, believers take this as gospel truth and pattern their lives in the understanding that they are going to suffer great financial losses.

When the experts tell some believers that they will die in a few months because of a certain disease, the believers receive that report as final regarding their lives.

Whose report shall you believe, child of God?

No matter what a master or expert says, always consider the Word of God as the last word because it has a 360-degree angle on any situation.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Mastery sought outside the wisdom from above will always be limited in knowledge.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. In all things, I choose to believe the report of the Lord. It is your Word that I exalt in all things. I look to Christ in whom dwells all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Because I depend on the word, my understanding is never in part but in full. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
