How to Walk in Wisdom?

Pastor Oswald Sichula, in his sermon “Walking in Wisdom: Pursuing God in a Foolish World” based on Proverbs 2:1–22, taught that the book of Proverbs is about the art of godly living, a skill that enables us to live according to God’s will. He highlighted three key truths. First, the pursuit of wisdom is a treasure worth seeking (verses 1–4). Wisdom is not optional but a necessity for life; it must be pursued with prayer, effort and intentionality, like silver mined from the earth. True wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, and without it spiritual growth cannot be sustained. Secondly, the protection of wisdom guards our hearts in a twisted world (verses 10–11). Wisdom delivers us from profanity, from deceptive men and seductive women, and it transforms our desires by reshaping our hearts to love what is right. Finally, the path of wisdom is about choosing life in a world of death. To walk in wisdom is to pursue a life that pleases God, and when we seek wisdom, folly cannot follow us. Pastor Sichula stressed that Proverbs 2 is, in essence, a gospel invitation, calling us to walk with God in a foolish world so that we may receive the wisdom that only He can give. He closed by asking the searching question: Do you have the wisdom of God in your life?The African Christian University, founded by the Reformed Baptist Church Association of Zambia, aims to glorify God in the pursuit of truth.
