Wisdom can't exist without knowledge and experience. You must be in the know to have the right and wise judgement.
Generally, humans gravitate towards people that depicts wisdom. In this days we call them motivational speakers, wise people, learned people. However, not all that depicts wise words or knowledge have godly wisdom.
There is wisdom of the world and wisdom of the word (godly wisdom). As a true believer, we must function in godly wisdom, but you can't function in godly wisdom except you know who is wisdom Himself.
There are people in this world that lacks wisdom believer or not. As mentioned earlier to say you have wisdom, you must have knowledge, experience and back it up with right judgement of situations.
Acquiring educational knowledge will not make a person wise if they lack the right judgement or application of their acquired knowledge and experience.
Imagine a medical practitioner, telling someone to go pump some air from the filling station in their backside if they were constipated. That is absurd, what I am insinuating is, if they fail to apply their knowledge appropriately then they can't be referred to as being wise.
Anyone can receive godly wisdom if they desire it.
James 1:5 says ask God to give you wisdom even if it's the type of wisdom you need to handle day to day situation ask God.
*If you lack wisdom*
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.
James 1:5 KJV

If you want to live extraordinarily based on wisdom then you need godly wisdom. Can I just add that godly wisdom is not limited to the premises of the church or things that is solely for God.
To live the life that God has purposed for you and I, we must function in godly wisdom always. Knowing the source of Wisdom or godly wisdom will enable us desire Him because Jesus Christ is wisdom.
1 Corinthians 1:30- God has made Christ wisdom unto us, Proverbs 8 give a detailed explanation of wisdom and if you study it as the Holy spirit gives you clarity, you will find out that you can't host of wisdom without knowing Jesus Christ
*Source of godly wisdom*
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.1.7.KJV
For the LORD giveth wisdom: Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.2.6.KJV
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.1.30.KJV
Wisdom enables you to engage in the right things, your contribution and innovation stands out when you possess godly wisdom.
You may argue that the people with the highest innovative ideas are not Christians. As mentioned earlier, academic achievement when applied appropriately can birth wisdom.
However, the godly wisdom will not just produce innovative ideas or creation but purely centers on God's purpose.
Wisdom instils in you the morals needed to stand before Kings, it instils the trust inside of you and guides your view of the world, situation and your communication.
A wise person doesn't just open their mouth, they don't just jump into conversation, they don't act irrationally, they step back, review things then compose themselves in the right manner.
Does this mean a wise person can't answer an impromptu meeting or questions no, because they always know what to do and how to do it especially when they operate under godly wisdom.
