On media impressions about the gifts of wisdom in Engr David Umahi's administration as the governor of Ebonyi State since 29th May 2015 till date, Egede Lawrence writes.
Who can show me the wisdom in Governor Umahi's regime, to teach me to know about it and understand its place of it?
Who is crying for an increase of comfort and looking forward to gaining attention, but failing to have it because of one reason or the other and needs the wisdom to actualize it, especially in this regime? There is a bright hope.
Who is smiling for having the needed attention, yet cannot be satisfied but still needs more in the wisdom of appreciation?
Who is he or she that does the right thing in the wrong way, to mare the wisdom in the regime of Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State?
Who is he or she that does the wrong thing in the right way, to mess up the wisdom that God gave to the regime of Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State?
Remember that Governor Umahi is not Omnipresent here and there, to monitor what you do at the corners, but his Spirit gift of wisdom from God will expose all evils hidden behind.
Do you want the good things of life to come to you in the wisdom of doing the right thing in the right way at the right time from God, in the regime of Governor Umahi? Listen very attentively.
There is hope for everyone that needs the good things of life in a regime of heart desire and its fulfilment, but do we know the real price of wisdom to restrain ourselves from the losses in it?
Can anybody afford to pay the price to know wisdom and live in the land without grumbling?
Can anyone afford to pay the price to know wisdom and live without boasting oneself about it?
By the special grace of God, real wisdom is not known by human beings, not known by any creature, not known by all matters of creation, but known only by God Himself, who gave the Spirit gifts for the use of all human beings with the divine power of understanding heart.
Therefore, as human beings go about life doing one thing or the other, appreciating one another or not appreciating one another, nobody knows the wisdom that God has given to people as life and time moves on in the world.
People are born separately with diverse gifts of the Spirit given to everyone accordingly by God.
All the gifts are meant to profit everyone in exchange for all the work they do, extending hands of responsibilities to humanity.
But who and what can find the wisdom in it, apart from the worths everybody enjoys?
Governor Umahi came out from the womb of his mother, with a gift or gifts by the Spirit of God.
But he knew not the wisdom in the gift or gifts during infancy and adolescence, and he grew up using the gifts profitably all along and nobody understood it. Here we are with him as the Governor of Ebonyi State today.
He started making better use of the gift or gifts accordingly, and for the good of human beings.
But many people don't know it, and neither do they understand but people still see it because it is obvious, yet they don't know the wisdom following it all along.
It does mean that we have the wisdom of God with us, having the gift or gifts also, but do not know the wisdom in it for lack of understanding heart.
The question is, how can we find where wisdom is with God and know the place it abides in our hearts of understanding?
Let's see what the Holy Bible is saying concerning the wisdom of God, unknown to mankind in the Spiritual understanding of it. The price is even unknown.
The biblical book of Job asked in verse 12 of chapter 28: "But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of Understanding?
Verse 13 answered and said: "Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living."
At this point, enumerations were made as to the possible places where wisdom, the price and the understanding could be found at last. Nothing gave the clue.
It started with the depts and the sea denying the knowledge and the custody of wisdom, with all other precious earthly subjects of creation not equating their qualities and standards with it.
The comparisons behind the values of wisdom covered all manner of things, but could not trace any origin of similarities with it. Wisdom defied findings.
Now, at last, the same bible contents of the book of Job chapter 28, verse 28 hinted it: "Unto man he said, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is Understanding."
The answer has been revealed and nobody is left in doubt, as to what became the price we can pay and enjoy wisdom.
The fear of the Lord and departing from evil is the answer and which is the essential price to pay and understand wisdom.
Now the question is; have we found the wisdom in ourselves, to believe that the Will of God produced Governor Umahi's regime good for Ebonyi State? No guesswork behind wisdom and understanding.
There's wisdom in Governor Umahi's regime because he is very good in money management, developmental doggedness, mental fitness, environmental sophistication, psychological research work, attitudinal discipline, moral rectitude, public relationships, maturity disposition, in godly nature, official attentiveness, in supervisory activities, in work actualization, in result oriented movement, in productive fields of industry, in business attitude, innovations, quality inputs and outputs everywhere possible.
The above analysis is the values of godly wisdom, as a result of fear of the Lord and the habit of departure from evil, which is the real price he pays for the acquisition of wisdom and knowledge, having good spiritual gifts with an understanding heart.
Governor Umahi has been paying the price to obtain the value of wisdom and to have an understanding heart in piety.
To God is the glory forever.
