THAT WISE MAN WAS ONCE A FOOLISH MAN
There is nothing wrong with being foolish but it is wrong to die a fool. When you hear some men talk or read something they wrote, you will marvel at their depth of wisdom but they were once foolish men. They were once demonstrably foolish.

But as time went on, they learnt from their mistakes and decided to make amends. They were men who learnt from their experience. That is why I love Paul the Apostle’s writings.
I show you a mystery, there is no wise man or wise woman anywhere.

We all have an element of foolishness in us. What you have are men and women who learnt from their negative experience but many of them will not share their experience with you. Many African leaders are like that. They will talk and behave as if they have always been wise.
They put immense pressure to be wise on the upcoming generation.
So, learn from your bad experience. if you don’t learn from your past experience, you will forever be a fool. And if you have ever been called foolish or you called yourself one, clap for yourself.

You are in good company. You will be celebrated as the wise one tomorrow but only if you learnt from your mistakes.
You must admit that you made mistakes. You must admit that you behaved or acted foolishly. You should then develop yourself, make the necessary corrections and

you will be deemed a wise man. The net gain from a previous foolishness is that you make disciples from present fools who will become wise men tomorrow but make sure you share your experience with them.
The weakness of most of the so-called wise men in our world today is that they never shared their failings or their past foolishness. They pretended as if they never made mistakes and I am skeptical of people like that. Foolishness was demonstrated by Adam and Eve.
We are their offspring but Christ came to redeem us from all forms of foolishness. Receive grace to be wise today.
