I HAVE NO BUSINESSES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
THEY WERE WRITING ABOUT ME AND THEY WROTE “HE HAS SEVERAL BUSINESSES AROUND THE WORLD AND HOUSES IN AMERICA AND EUROPE”. I DIDN’T KNOW THEY BOUGHT ME HOUSES AND DIDN’T TELL ME
THEY CANNOT UNRAVEL WHAT IS BEHIND THE THINGS WE ARE DOING SO THEY HAVE TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING THEY CAN SEE TO TIE TO IT.
THIS MINISTRY IS A MYSTERY. EVERYTHING IS WORKING WITHOUT PRESSURE.
LIFE IS A PROFIT AND LOSS ADVENTURE. YOU ARE EITHER PROFITING OR LOSING, YOU ARE NEVER NEUTRAL.
LIFE IS NEVER STAGNANT. YOU ARE EITHER PROGRESSING OR RETROGRESSING.
A CHURCH IS EITHER GROWING OR GOING DOWN. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PLATEAU.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at October 2022 Week of Spiritual Emphasis, Day Two || Canaanland, Ota.
Prayers: Lord move me forward by your word tonight.
Jesus speak to every one of us tonight. Let no one of us return without something to show. Your wisdom shows, though it is hidden to find but when a man finds it, it shows. Church Gist. Lord let the wisdom that shows find an entrance to us tonight in the name of Jesus. Thank you Father, in Jesus’ precious name we have prayed.
Divine wisdom is a virtue with unlimited capacity for growth. It has its length, its breath, its height, its depth and we know that its depth is unsearchable. Divine wisdom is a virtue with unlimited capacity for growth. The growth thereof is till the end of one’s life. Church Gist. When one stops seeking and learning, he starts losing. T.L. Osborn put it very graphically by his statement that he made “when you stop learning, you start dying”. So it is a lifelong pursuit as ordained by God. You will not step into that losing realm in your life.
I said here, life is a profit and loss adventure. You are either profiting or losing, you are never neutral. It is ordained to be an adventure of continuous progress on the path of the justified, the redeemed of the Lord. Proverbs 4:18. It won’t shine more and more unless you let it. Let your light so shine, it doesn’t shine on its own. Church Gist. You and I must let it be by seeing brighter, day in and day out. Matthew 5:16. 2 Corinthians 3:18. So the shining requires that we learn better ways of doing things to keep shining from glory to glory till the perfect day.
Now watch, a Church is either growing or going down. There is no such thing as a plateau. You throw a stone up, wherever it stops going up, it starts coming down. What a responsibility therefore for us as individuals concerning our own lives and our endeavours. A business is either going up or coming down. What keeps it going up is more wisdom. What brings it down is a lack of better knowledge than the one you used to get to where you are. Church Gist. One is therefore either changing levels or losing ground. You are never neutral. That is simple. If you are in school, you are either changing classes or losing class. If you repeat this year and next year, you have lost two classes by not passing the knowledge test that is prescribed. Life is therefore never stagnant. You are either progressing or retrogressing. Wisdom is the determining factor.
I have been a student of soul winning for 46 years but more and more light is coming in to get better results. Maybe there were some people there at that time but they lost out. Church Gist. They have hung their gloves. If you ask me why they never learn better ways of going forward. But for us this month, God will spark off a new thing in everyone’s life.
Proverbs 9:9.
Remember our teaching focus is UNVEILING THE WORTH OF DIVINE WISDOM. The reason why people react to divine wisdom is that it comes as instructions not as a piece of advice. Take fast hold of instructions, let her not go because that is where the quality of our lives is determined. Proverbs 4:13. Your view concerning the truth is irrelevant. You can’t do anything against the truth but for the truth. Your view is irrelevant. Church Gist. What you don’t agree with is your cup of tea. It is settled in heaven forever so your non-agreement as a temporal being has no effect. That word is settled in heaven forever. “I don’t believe in going to Church every time” Good luck. You believe in going from weakness to weakness until you are out. Going, going, out. “I don’t believe in giving” Good luck, keep enjoying your poverty. Life is absolutely a matter of choice. Life and death, blessing and curses, free to choose. Deuteronomy 30:19.
I was having a humorous time with Jesus yesterday, He said “know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?” – 1 Corinthians 6:9. We don’t know that’s why, you want to go there and you know what will not take you there and you keep doing it. We don’t know it. But something unusual will spark off. Church Gist. As you heard in that special announcement. On Saturday morning we are going to have an impartation of the spirit of wisdom that will enlarge everyone’s capacity to appreciate the instructions of wisdom as they come our way in everything we do. Something must change dramatically in everyone’s life.
Psalm 104:24. Proverbs 3:19. The creative power of divine wisdom will come to play in a manner each of us has never known. The reason we are doing that on Saturday is so we can capture every Winner worldwide by that live broadcast. Jesus will do a new thing in our lives.
One is either on the move or is removed. Get on the move. We are in the days of the manifold wisdom of God in the Body of Christ. It is God’s end-time agenda to visit the end-time Church with His manifold wisdom that will empower us for dominion over principalities and powers according to Ephesians 3:10-11. The eternal purpose of God is to visit the earth in His manifold wisdom in His Church that will disarm all principalities and powers like in the day of Daniel. He was master of the soothsayers, master of the astrologers, master of Chaldeans or native doctors. Daniel 5:11. He is passing on the road, they salute him. That is you, all this “somebody is chasing me” you won’t hear it again. Church Gist. The wisdom of God will be released upon His Church that will make principalities and power bow to our authority. Each one of us will be there. It is going to be a wave the world has never seen before and because this wave will bring about mighty works, things our capacity in the natural can never dream of will start happening by our hands.
Very quickly tonight, let’s check on some of these wonders embedded in divine wisdom.
- We must understand that divine wisdom is an asset of individuality. Each one craves for it, seeks for it and presses to access it or he can’t get it. Proverbs 9:12. James 1:5. Church Gist. It is an asset of individuality, it is not transferable. The spirit that enlarges our capacity is transferable but developing that capacity is our responsibility. Proverbs 1:5.
- The Holy Spirit is the fountain of divine wisdom.
We must appreciate that the Holy Spirit is the fountain of divine wisdom. So we are limited in access without the Holy Spirit at work. That is why God freely gives the Holy Spirit to every child of God. Isaiah 11:1-2. If you check that component, you find out that five of them have to do with wisdom- wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel and the fear of the Lord which is our grand access to this wisdom. So we have power which is the Spirit of the Lord and might, then all the others have to do with wisdom. It is principally the working of the Holy Spirit. The good news is every child of God has automatic access to the baptism of the Holy Ghost if he believes. They believed the word that came out of Peter and the Holy Ghost fell upon them, not that they came out and got saved. Repent and thou shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, not mature, repent. Church Gist. Every child of God is entitled to the gift of the Holy Ghost. All those folks in the house of Cornelius were baptized in the Holy Ghost before they were baptized in water. That is the eagerness of God to equip us with that divine virtue that will give us access among other things to divine wisdom by which kings reign and princes decree justice. So it is your right. The evidence that one is born again. You shall receive and it comes with evidence of speaking in tongues not that you are taught to follow some syllables. He gives you utterance. Anyone not baptized in the Holy Ghost here as this word is going on, expect that automatic enduement even in the course of this message.
Now check this and see the connection, in 1 Corinthians 2:7-14. That’s the link, so we stand to be limited without His manifestation in our lives. Without the Holy Spirit, we are limited in appreciating the truth. They can only be spiritually unravelled which is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Everyone is changing levels and that includes you. Genesis 41:38-40. That was the exclamation of Pharaoh to Joseph. Church Gist. When this wisdom comes upon you, you are free from whatever captivity. In the name of Jesus, everyone’s captivity shall be supernaturally turned. Nobody remained that Joseph was a convict. His nationality was irrelevant. Captivity turned overnight. By the enduement of the spirit of wisdom this Saturday, every truth you encounter will blossom in your spirit and it will terminate anyone’s captivity in the name of Jesus Christ.
- It commands supernatural exploits.
1 Corinthians 2:9. I read some things yesterday and it was very humorous. They were talking about me. He has several businesses around the world and houses in America and Europe. I didn’t know they bought me houses and didn’t tell me. Do you know why? They cannot unravel what is behind the things we are doing so they have to look for something they can see to tie to it. Help me to put down that new chapter in my biography, I have no business interest anywhere in the world. You can’t have business in secret, they should know. Church Gist. Not today, not in the world that we live in now will you have houses and not know. Church Gist. All around the world? I never knew I had such a number of houses. Your life will just become a mystery, trading the wisdom of God makes you a mystery. This ministry is not a ministry, it is a mystery. Everything is working without pressure. No, it can’t be so. They must have buried some cows somewhere. They are cheaper than our struggles so if it is a cow, why don’t you buy a cow? The wisdom of God makes an ordinary believer a mystery and that is you. People will look at you and cannot unravel what is behind the things that are working in your life because from that corner your business will blossom around the world.
Matthew 13:54. It always manifests itself in mighty works, not mighty words because words are cheap. Mighty works, things you can touch, you can handle, you can relate with. Mighty works. Every single Winner will be turned into a commander of mighty works. The words we speak will match the results we command in our various areas of endeavours. It is a new dawn. Mighty works and He delights in doing that for the meek who will give Him all the glory. So vomit pride, it is a poison of destiny. Don’t let it come near you. Jesus the wisdom of God said “I am meek and lowly in heart” – Matthew 11:29, the secrets of men are in their stories. Church Gist. Paul the Apostle said I am not worthy to be called an apostle. I was a rascal, a nuisance, a murderer, how? He delights in pouring Himself out to the meek, not the one that has the merit. “Well I am not surprised, in this field globally I am respected” Well done. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. We are limited in the school of divine wisdom because we have so much merit. Can I say this? All that you know is nothing compared to what you don’t know. All that we know will never be compared with what we are yet to know. Romans 11:33. 1 Corinthians 8:2. Let him be sober, there is much more ahead. Philippians 3:10-13. Paul knew a lot but he still said “that I may know Him”. Daniel 2:30. We are breaking forth into next levels in the name of Jesus.
- This wisdom engenders intellectual prowess.
It makes you smarter than your peers and as you acknowledge the grace, it keeps boosting and enlarging. Daniel 1:17,20-21. You have this great name I have always mentioned R.G. LeTourneau, a French man, a roadside mechanic, unschooled, became an inventor and in his testimony, he said when he went to bed, they would be telling him how to join the wires. He invented the digger, it was the greatest earth-moving equipment of those days. He supplies 50 per cent of that to World War II. Today we have R.G. LeTourneau University everywhere. Church Gist. He was a roadside mechanic. It affects all areas of life, you think above your age, you provide solutions beyond your education. It is a booster of man’s intellect. Failure shall become anathema in your family, they won’t mention it anymore. From crèche to first degree, second degree, the third degree to fourth and fifth, failure shall never be recorded in your family again. There is a spirit in man and that breath of the Almighty gives understanding. That breath is the Holy Ghost. He breathed upon them and made them men of quick understanding. Isaiah 11:3. We are going to have many intellectual giants rise from this platform. Many strange order of inventors will rise from here. Global solution providers will rise from here.
There is another man called Michael Faraday, He was a lab attendant. Suddenly, he became the envy of his professor. The one he was serving. He ended up being named the Science Man of the 19th Century. Church Gist. God delights in making something out of nothing. When you just see yourself as nothing, He makes something out of you. He is making something inexplainable out of everyone’s life.
- Divine wisdom commands dominion over destruction and death.
Job 28:12,20-22. We can relate that with the story of Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego in the fire. They were too sure of God’s presence they had that deep insight of God’s presence being above all harassment of death and destruction. Daniel 3:17-18. God showed up, they saw a fourth person there. It is depth of understanding that gives such confidence. There is a depth of understanding of this God of all possibilities, you can’t mess Him up. They was no smell of fire on them. Daniel that strangely endowed man was cast to the den of lions and he came out without a scratch. When they threw the people who wanted him to go there, before they landed on the ground, the lions tore them into pieces. The lions have been hungry since, when you see food and you are hungry you jump. They just broke all their bones and cleaned up all their flesh. Destruction and death said we have heard the same thereof with our ears. This wisdom says if you won’t fear you can’t fall. Church Gist. You are only a victim of what you fear when that understanding sinks into you, fear will leave you alone and victory becomes your natural experience.
I had the privilege of having a 93-year-old young lady who lives in London and is in this service every Sunday morning online, loves the Lord. We had some time together today walking unaided. By the time I was leaving the office and I came down I saw the 100-year-old young lady of last Sunday, she was still dressed in her birthday dress, smiling, kneeling down and standing up unaided. Church Gist. Death has lost the battle over your life. No one here will be a victim of untimely death. No one here will bury any of their children or grandchildren. The number of your days as you serve Him He will fulfill. The battle is over. What a great God we serve.
Paul was stoned to death and they gathered together to wonder where they were going to bury him and he just stood up. Paul had the call to say what I will choose I don’t know. Philippians 1:23-25. He was in control, How? He was one wisdom being in the early Church. 2 Peter 3:15. Ephesians 3:1-5. He was in charge. People are so down to tradition that when they hear something new they grumble “as it was in the beginning so it shall be”. God’s creation is ever on the move, God’s creatures are also to be ever on the move. If you are in a crowd and people are moving and you are not moving, they trample you underfoot straight. Church Gist. As long as Apostles and Prophets are here, He keeps pouring to them the next level, the new move, because these secrets are open secrets, everybody has access. Somebody has been shown, he has to show everybody else. What I tell you in secret shout it on the rooftop. You are going places. We are all changing levels. We need to keep making satisfactory progress that shows and it will show in our lives.
Prayers: Lift your two hands and give God thanks for unveiling the worth of divine wisdom. Give Him glory for the things you have heard.
God is taking us through the wisdom masterclass by the help of the Holy Ghost, may you come out with proofs in your life. Church Gist. May each of us come out with undeniable proofs of this access in our lives.
One genuine encounter with God is worth more than a lifetime of labour. Something has broken loose in your life. Church Gist. Your taste for knowledge and wisdom has been enhanced. We shall all keep getting better by the day.
Lift those two hands and give Him praise.
