“The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, But the heart of the fool does not do so.” (Proverbs 15:7 NKJV)
He enlightens us that we not only obtain knowledge to be wise, but also must disperse it by declaration of our lips and manifestation in our lives. In essence, wisdom is knowledge applied. It is a great misfortune to have knowledge received but neither dispersed nor imparted nor applied for right living. That would be a disappointing waste of valuable gift. Indeed, only a fool does that.
Knowledge of salvation with its reality in our life is God's most precious gift to us all. It must be put to active and productive application in our day to day lives. As children of God, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, we are reminded to declare with our lips living Words of faith from our heart. We are to self-talk those truths into our being and share with others to propel the power of God's spoken Words to fulfill its good purpose in us and the people around us.
Having our faith in Jesus, for those who received His Lordship and have been born again in spirit by grace, we are a chosen vessel of such amazing gift. He is sending us to proclaim the gospel to the whole creation (Mark 16:15). Apostle Paul's declaration is the posture we, the Lord's redeemed, should take. He said: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes:" (Romans 1:16a NIV)
When His holy and written Word is proclaimed God promised, as it is written: "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
