"PHRONESIS" IS A FORCE

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much , and largeness of herat , even as the sand that is on the ser shore ( 1 kings 4 :29 ). The word translated " wisdom " above is the Hebrew " phronesis " and its a force that contols you. Its a spiritual elixir that locates you within the framework of God's will , beyond your natural understanding , causing you to do God's things God's time for God's purpose ! Its also a mind-set ; an excellent mind-set that causes you to think in a certain way and to say the right things in the right place. This was the wisdom Solomon recieved from the Lord that caused him to excel in good judgement , so much so that the Bible says "....there came of all people to hear the Wisdom of Solomon , from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom " ( 1 kings 4:34). God gave Solomon an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension ; he had practical wisdom. "Phronesis " propels you to make accurate choices , sound judgements and decisions, and to do things right the first time. You can develop " phronesis" trough studying and meditating on the Word of God and through praying in the Holy Ghost - speaking in tongues. " O , but i thought the Word says Christ has been mads unto us wisdom frm God ?" you might ask. Yes , but that wisdom is " sophia " (greek) which means theoritical wisdom , or insight into reality ; it means all the collective understanding of all things. There's also a third kind of wisdom called " sunesis " ; this is critical wisdom ; the ability to understand concepts and see relatioships between them. It suggest a quickness of apprehension ; the penerating consideration which precedes actions . Whereas " phronesis " is practical wissdom ; its a force that makes you to do and say the right things before you even think. God gives you " sophia " - insight into reality , so that you can have " sunesis " - an understanding , for the purpose of developing in to " phronesis " ; a mindset for a successful and extraordinary life.
