Wisdom to Win: Live, Build & Impact Lives

By Kingsley Joshua Akoto-Bamfo

This book contains biblical precepts on how to harness godly wisdom to live a fulfilled and rich life. It is a three-part book that explores what wisdom is, who gives it, and how one can come into possession of it and all its blessedness. Different views and opinions regarding the subject of wisdom exist, but this book discusses wisdom from the perspective offered by the Holy Bible. It strengthens its interesting exploration by using practical, relatable examples from day-to-day interactions. It also draws from the wealth of wisdom of great men to create a wholesome book.

The book starts with a well-crafted introduction, which is a window into the resourcefulness of the book. It details the phenomenon that is wisdom and its encompassing effect on personal lives, social interactions, and human civilizations. It preps the reader’s mind for the comprehensive work done in the book. Here, readers are made to understand why the book exists in the first place. It touches on the fact that everything we see around us is born out of wise creations, inventions, and innovations. It creates in the reader an awareness of the world beyond what the eyes see, which starts a curious dive into the book.

The first part of the book starts with a quote from the book of Proverbs written by King Solomon, who was the wisest man in his time, setting the tone for the discussion that followed. The writer describes wisdom as a supernatural force, a phenomenon beyond the mere application of knowledge by which everything in creation was made. It encourages the reader’s mind to take a step back, appreciate the world anew, and see how every facet of human existence is defined by the unraveling of wisdom in different capacities.
This book makes a seemingly complex concept direct and simple in that, having defined what wisdom is and how it affects the human experience, it goes further to discuss the source of wisdom. It traces the origin of wisdom to God and doesn’t leave the reader to deal with doubts or questions that might surround the subject of God-given wisdom. It also establishes the fact that the human capacity to create things mirrors God’s wisdom demonstrated in the creation of our universe.

The writer stretches the discourse further with the acuity of a skilled teacher and counselor in the second part of the book. He explains in simplified bits how we can own the wisdom God gives to lead an excellent life. He describes seven practical principles, which he called the pillars of wisdom, needed to optimize the human experience and get the best out of life. It doesn’t stop at the level of an eye-opener; it is an experience in and of itself, as it provides helpful, relatable tips on how to win in everyday life. This discourse also excels in its inclusiveness in that it addresses different categories of people, from couples to singles to students to children.

This book progresses along a systematic thought pattern, which leads to the third part, where the writer discusses the wisdom to build and bloom. It draws directly from the Holy Bible to explain the correct approach to building a life of impact through godly wisdom. It describes in great detail the phases of creation: imagination (thoughts), confession (words), action (works), and how it applies to us as individuals hoping to leave a mark in this world. The writer corroborates the discourse with thoughts from great men who, through their experiences, realized the importance of godly wisdom in starting and building anything in life.

But it doesn’t end there. It doesn’t end blindly and leaves the reader halfway on a journey that leads to unraveling the secret to a fulfilled life. The book is thorough and complete as it concludes with a practical guide on how to access and obtain wisdom to win in life, a stroke of brilliance that makes the book wholesome as it is great. The writer leads the reader to God, the source of wisdom, and encourages them to accept the lordshi

INTRODUCTION:

Wisdom runs and rules the world. With wisdom, the Creator made all of His Creations. Wisdom has worked all the wonders the world has witnessed since its beginning and continues to do so. Wisdom has been and will continue to be a powerful creative force for building our world in every regard.

Wisdom is an active force. It is a force that turns things around in both the natural and supernatural realms. Both the physical and spiritual worlds have their bearings because of God’s efficient and effective operationalisation of wisdom.

Wisdom is both natural and supernatural. Wisdom has spiritual and physical dimensions. It is also needed for effective and efficient functioning at home, work, church, school, social clubs, and every other institution.

Wisdom blesses and beautifies. Wisdom enhances and exalts. Wisdom glorifies and guides. Wisdom inspires and influences. Wisdom protects and preserves. Whoever you are, wherever you are, and whatever you do, you need wisdom to function in your full capacity. We all need wisdom to do better, bigger and greater things.

Wisdom is a priceless leveller for all people. Wisdom is and will continue to be the desire of ages. It is needed by the rich and poor, educated and uneducated, old and young, married and single etc. And is needed to accelerate our progress and advance our goals.

People with wisdom have a better understanding of things and excel in all spheres of life. Wise people steer the wheels of the world. They make the world move and work. Through wisdom, they make the world a better place.

All that we see and are yet to see are products of wisdom. We see the application of wisdom in its fullest display in various fields daily. Experts, through their wisdom, continue to influence and impact the lives of many. Wisdom is indeed the principal thing, and everybody needs wisdom.

In this life-transforming book, Bishop Kingsley Joshua Akoto-Bamfo uses a practical approach to share ideas and insights on how you can access wisdom and apply it for maximum impact and influence.

This book is a three-part piece with a special focus on the worth and works of wisdom, wisdom to live a winning life, and wisdom to bloom and bless lives. It is a carefully crafted blueprint of biblical and practical life lessons designed to help you position yourself wisely and win at both the personal and
