Beloved, no doubt you are persuaded that your loving Father in heaven is a God of wisdom.
Revelation 7:12. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Right from the outset, He did all His creative works through His uncommon wisdom.
Psalms 136:5. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Beloved, marvel not. God gave this same creative wisdom to humanity prior the fall. No doubt Adam single handedly named all animals.
Genesis 2:19-21. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

Solomon
2 Chronicles 1:11-12. And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
Daniel and His colleagues.
Daniel 1:17-20. As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
Joseph
Acts 7:9-10. And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Paul
2 Peter 3:15. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
Beloved, because you are also, one of His beloved children, He wants to give you the same creative wisdom or sound mind. So He said, you should ask Him. So go ahead and do so.
James 1:5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

During His earthly ministry, all His hearers marvel at the dimension of His wisdom.
Mark 6:2. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
John 7:14-15. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Luke 21:12-16. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
The blessed Holy Spirit, whom Himself gives wisdom to redeemed reassured believers of all ages and you about the promised creative mind of Christ or sound mind which is the heritage of believers.
2 Timothy 1:7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
1 Corinthians 2:16. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
See how Stephen manifested that sound mind .
Acts 6:10: And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
It is your heritage from God, reach out to the Lord and possess it.
Friend, to validate your earnest desire to be part of the dawning rapture, you must endeavour to pursue and possess this creative wisdom or sound mind, which is your heritage from the Lord.
2 Timothy 1:7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
This becomes important because, only those who possess this creative wisdom or sound mind shall be part of this imminent event. See, this creative wisdom is found in all the pages of the scriptures or the saying of Christ.
What you do with the word of God or the saying of Christ which are the wisdom of God, determines where you are going to spend eternity or partake in the imminent rapture.
Friend, you become wise when you commit yourself to doing the word of God or saying of Christ.
But whosever reject God’s words or saying of Christ is a foolish person. You shall not be foolish in Jesus name.
Matthew 7:24-27. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Friend, as you are desirous to be part of the dawning rapture, be wise and do everything you are doing from the perspective of eternity. That is the only thing that can guarantee your readiness. May the Lord help you in deed to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
Deuteronomy 32:29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Proverbs 19:20. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end
