Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice? She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors: Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; 

Proverbs 8: 1-3, 34-35 NKJV

God is the one who rules in the affairs of men, He set times and seasons. Wisdom is knowing the times in which we live and leveraging on its benefits. We now live in the age of information. Knowledge is everywhere, ignorance is no longer an excuse. God is using every means to communicate His wisdom to us. Men have from the convenience of their rooms in remote villages attended university of YouTube to learn trade, acquire skills and have been freely mentored through the different social media platforms by the best of minds. They have connected and marketed their goods and services in the palaces of kings and corridors of power from the comfort of their homes. The internet is creating a level playing ground for all. Whatever you want to learn today, whatever information you need is readily available to you on the internet.

While many have added value to their lives and transformed their circumstances, many have also been destroyed by it, therefore many believers still ignorantly view it as something to avoid or be treated with caution.

There is nothing good or bad in itself, it is what we do with it that matters. While there are lots of evil on the internet, there are also endless benefits from it. Jesus prayed, “I do not say you should take them from the world, but keep them from the world.” So we do not run away from it, we only chose where to go and what to do with it. God uses every tool available in every generation to bless us. In our generation the internet is one of such. God is using it to teach, train, build, develop and connect us. Leverage it, for all things are yours including the internet, be intentional about its use.
