TILL I GO TO HEAVEN, YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ME OPEN MY MOUTH AND CALL THIS CHURCH “MY CHURCH”

TILL I GO TO HEAVEN, YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ME OPEN MY MOUTH AND CALL THIS CHURCH “MY CHURCH”.

WHERE I AM TODAY BY GRACE, A HUNDRED YEARS OF LABOUR IN ANY FIELD WON’T GET ME THERE

POLITICIANS’ MONEY IS LIKE THE KING’S MEAT WHICH DANIEL PURPOSED IN HIS HEART NOT TO DEFILE HIMSELF WITH. PEOPLE ARE JUST TAKING IT, INCLUDING PASTORS.

I HAVE VOWED THAT NO ONE WILL EVER BRING ANY BAG OF MONEY TO MY HOUSE.

DIVINE WISDOM IS THE GIFT OF GOD, IT IS NOT ANYBODY’S SKILL OR EXPERTISE. NO ONE CAN TAKE CREDIT FOR IT.

SOME FELLOWS THINK MY IDEAS ARE WHAT IS BUILDING THINGS HERE. NO!

I ASK PLENTY OF QUESTIONS AND I GET PLENTY OF ANSWERS

WE FEEL WE KNOW TOO MUCH THAT IS WHY WE ARE SO IGNORANT.

MANY BIG CAREER SUCCESSES ARE BLATANT FAILURES IN THEIR HOMES.

YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY CAN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION OF PHYSICS. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

ASK QUESTIONS OTHERWISE YOU KEEP GROANING FOR LIFE.

ONLY THOSE WHO ASK QUESTIONS ARE ENTITLED TO ANSWERS

• Bishop David Oyedepo at Prophetic Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service

Prayers: Lift your two hands to heaven. Lord let this be my month. Let this be my month of unforgettable encounters with you. Let it be my month of change of story again. Advance my course this month. By your word move me forward in my walk with you in Jesus’ precious name we have prayed.

Lord Jesus thank you for the wonders of last month. Thank you for the greater wonders reserved for today. Receive our thanks in the name of Jesus. Church Gist. Our path is ordained to shine more and more unto the perfect day. So we see a greater month, a brighter month. A more glorious month ahead of us as individuals, as a church and as a nation in Jesus’ name we have prayed.

Again the prophetic word for the month is WISDOM FROM ABOVE ENTHRONES and the anchor scripture is Genesis 41:38-44. We saw how wisdom enthroned Joseph supernaturally. It was supernatural wisdom that enthroned Him. There is more to wisdom than intellectualism, they are not in the same class, they are far apart. There is no psychological access to someone’s dream without telling you of it. No research institute under heaven can unravel that. Church Gist. That is the supremacy of divine wisdom above all other kinds of wisdom. Remember the Bible said whatever is from above is above all. John 3:31. We read just now from our prophetic focus epistle that the Bible recognizes four kinds of wisdom:

• 

• 

Earthly wisdom which is natural wisdom, you are born with it. It is nobody’s merit. A baby grabs a feeding bottle straight to the mouth, not the ear. It came with him naturally, common sense. Church Gist. He is going to crawl, he is not crawling on his back, he puts his hands and his knees. It is time to defecate, he doesn’t open his mouth. It is natural.
Then sensual, call it intellectual.
Then devilish, call it diabolical. That is all the people in the cult. Church Gist. That is what they do, manipulation of people, as the devil manipulates them they also manipulate people.
Then the wisdom from above.

Why is diabolical wisdom superior to intellectual wisdom? It can turn an intellectual to madness through their evil machinations but divine wisdom is above all of them. Church Gist. That is the realm of wisdom that every believer is ordained to operate in. You are getting there.

It is a lifelong school, no one ever graduates. No finish lines. The ever-winning wisdom, the wisdom of God is better than all weapons of war. Never known to lose a battle when it is at work. Every child of God has a deposit of divine wisdom within him. Christ is the wisdom and the power of God, now He dwells in you by the act of redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:24. So you carry within you and me, the divine wisdom of God. Colossians 1:27. Because like beget like. At new birth, we all carry within us, a deposit of the wisdom of God. Church Gist. Everything produces after its kind. So the wisdom of a baby goat is within the goat. The baby dog does not need to go to school to learn how to bark. The wisdom of the dog is in him. If we are truly children of God, then we have the wisdom of God within us. The question is why are we not experiencing it? That is the problem God will be solving for us all through this month. Ever-winning wisdom of God.

It is clear that divine wisdom is the gift of God, it is not anybody’s skill or expertise. We are told to earnestly desire the best gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:31. Genesis 41:16. But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, that is the testimony of Daniel. Daniel 2:22. It is not given to me because I am wiser than anybody else. Church Gist. God just gave it to me. Daniel 2:30. 1 Kings 4:29-30. The Lord gave Solomon, so it is a gift. It is not something you acquire. It is a gift that is given to us as His children. 2 Peter 3:15. Ephesians 3:8-9. It is given to him, it is not because he was a lawyer. That’s nonsense. It is not part of it.

Some fellows think I am involved in building things here. No! Where will I get the time from? This must be stirred for continuous delivery. It is a gift that will not manifest without being stirred. 2 Timothy 1:6-7. It has to be stirred even though it is there. Church Gist. It has to be stirred. The reason why we don’t see that is that we are not committed or we don’t understand we need to stir it to work. The capacity to be a lawyer is within you, but you have to stir it through the process of learning.

Let’s check the following ways of stirring it. This is by way of general introduction to what we are looking forward to this month. We stir this deposit

1. Through prayer and fasting.

James 1:5. We are not saying you are not wise, you need to know the right step to take in this matter. Ask. Only those who ask questions are entitled to answers. We are told that God gave Daniel skill and wisdom in all learning yet when they were confronted with “… tell me the dream and the interpretation” they had to pray (Daniel 2:16-19). Daniel went into three weeks of prayer and fasting to access an understanding he desired. Daniel 10:1-12. Ask! Lord, why is this church not growing? Ask otherwise you keep groaning for life. Church Gist. What is behind this crawling business? Ask. What must I do to make it move? Ask! Why is this home perpetually under tension, ask for the wisdom way out of that situation. Lord show me the secret of kingdom prosperity, ask and He did. James 1:5. God will not call Him a fool for asking. He knows we are limited. Ask!

Two leaders came to me some time ago to help broker peace. I asked the Lord, I have never been in their offices before. Jesus help me out. I was amazed at the way He did it, the two of them stood up and embraced themselves and walked away smiling. It took 2 hours and 15 minutes to settle a three years battle. Ask! Your knowledge of chemistry can’t answer the question of physics. They are close but they are not the same. Your knowledge of Civil Engineering can’t answer the question of architecture. They work on the same project but they are not the same. Ask! We feel we know too much that is why we are so ignorant. Church Gist. You have many big career successes that are blatant failures in their homes. Ask. They are not the same. I ask plenty of questions and I get plenty of answers. Ask. It is an open platform for everybody. Ask believing and God will show up. No one here will ever be stranded again after this month. God will always show each one of us the way out, the way up and the way forward as we depend on Him. Isaiah 58:6-8. There is a breaking forth of light that comes when we are making genuine demands in the course of a fast. This week is our spiritual week of emphasis when we wait on the Lord for three days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Make specific demands on the wisdom solution to whatever situation you have found yourself in.

• 

• 

• Learning.
• Daniel 9:2
• Paul the wisdom bank who wrote two-thirds of the New Testament asked. 2 Timothy 4:13. A wise man shall hear and increase in wisdom. Proverbs 1:5. So we increase in wisdom by learning. I was an avowed student of Paul Yonggi Cho since 1985 learning the act of church growth. We needed to see cell growth, so we went through his book titled Building Successful Home Cells. Church growth and cell growth are not the same. They look so close but they are not the same. We went down to learning from our members who were successful cell growers and cell replicators. Through that knowledge, Jesus gave us 21,000 cells in our year. Learn! People just sit down somewhere waiting for something to happen. At His feet, I will only build my church, not your church. So you never hear from my mouth till I go to heaven “my church”. I will build my church, you will build your own. Not by saying it but also by acting on it. I operate here like an employee, an employer won’t work the way I work. I am working under Him in His business. I have said many times that somebody sent me a seed of one million naira in 1996 and said “for the work of the ministry”. My accountant said Sir it is for you because he wrote my name on the cheque, I said let me see the letter. It is for the work of ministry, I am a worker in the ministry, I am not the ministry. It was endorsed to the church. It is not by mouth, it is by practice. It is not my church, it can never be my church. The owner never dies. Those are the things behind the scene that make mighty things work. Please learn. I read virtually all the books that Hagin wrote. Maybe he wrote some I didn’t see but all I saw I read and I am still referencing them now. He is my mentor in the school of faith. Yonggi Cho, gone to be with the Lord is also my mentor in the area of church growth and cell replication. That is His special area. If you don’t learn, you will be left behind. You stir it by learning, not carrying your Bible up and down. Not buying books and lining them up on your shelf and taking photographs of them. You can’t even remember all the titles. I just got all the books by Papa. Congratulations! Something is changing.

Meditation

Psalm 119:97-100. 2 Timothy 4:13,15. We stir wisdom by mediation. It is also important for me to mention at this point that divine wisdom is manifold in nature. That is according to an amplified definition, the many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects. It covers all aspects of life. Ephesians 3:10 (AMPC). You can’t have the wisdom of harmonious family life and engage with it and not enjoy heaven on earth. I sat down to learn ministry, one area cannot cover another. Church Gist. I sat down to study 39 biographies of past generations to know how ministry is done, what to avoid, what to copy, and it is working. I sat down to learn how marriage works. I became a student of kingdom prosperity. It has to be studied. Where I find myself today by grace, a hundred years of labour in any field won’t get me there. In the precious name of Jesus, there shall be no failed area of anyone’s life anymore.

If you won’t learn how children are raised you will erase your children before you know it. Proverbs 22:6. Command them to do the right thing. These are things to learn, they are not things to assume. I saw my wife reading a book, How to Take Care of Old People. Because we had old people all around us then that we needed to take care of. Some people just walk out on their parents and they come under a curse before you know it. What a life. One morning I woke up and told my wife, I need to go and see Baba now, my father-in-law. I saw he was very close to going and I needed a blessing from Him. That was Saturday morning. I don’t do that. They say your father is dying and you say you have a meeting, if you are sick will you have a meeting? Church Gist. People just do some funny things without knowing the cost. You can’t kill him. Honour your father and your mother. There is a blessing upon the covenant. Attempting to kill a man in the covenant is killing yourself. There are people here, God will straighten every crooked path on your way. There is no nowadays salvation, no nowadays Bible. If you don’t do what the word says, you are the one who knows what you are looking for. You are going places. Please be humble enough to ask Him when you are at any crossroads, what do I do Jesus? How do I go forward?

UNVEILING THE REALITY OF WISDOM is our teaching series for our Sunday services this month.
.
It is not make-believe stuff, it is the wisdom that shows. The wisdom from above is the wisdom that shows. Our anchor scripture is Proverbs 4:7-9. Wisdom changes people’s stories. Wisdom enthrones you in every area of your life where you lay hold on it. Wisdom is your principal asset to enthronement. Proverbs 8:15-16. Whenever this wisdom from above is at work, that individual is enthroned in that area. It is not abracadabra wisdom, it is the wisdom that shows. Psalm 104:24, Matthew 13:54. It is not the wisdom of mighty words but mighty works. It is not the wisdom you have to explain that it is at work in me, it shows itself when it is at work in us. Every question mark attached to your name shall be changed to an exclamation mark. What wisdom is this that has changed this man’s story? That is your story. Church Gist. None of the princes of this world knows it. It is a mystery on the inside of every believer if we just know how to stir it. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the men of understanding. It comes from Him. Romans 11:33. This order of wisdom has its source only in God. We are crossing over to that realm in the name of Jesus.

What is divine wisdom?
It is the pure gift of God to all His children. Matthew 11:19. Genesis 41:16. Genesis 41:39-40. There shall be takeover encounters from henceforth in your life. You take over your various domains. The wisdom of God will just shoot you up. Church Gist. That shall be the experience of every one of us in the name of Jesus Christ. That’s what God has in store for us and I want to believe God that we shall experience unusual things as we go into this realm.

What guarantees access to Divine Wisdom?

1. The fear of God.

Psalm 25:14.
Anyhow lifestyle is a disqualifier. It is those who fear God that flow in this realm of wisdom. Genesis 42:18. It takes the fear of God to flow in this realm of wisdom. You can’t be doing all kinds of things and expect this wisdom to flow in you. It ceased in the life of Solomon. It will seize. The fear of the Lord is the only way to sustain the flow of divine wisdom. When you back out of that, you are disconnected. Psalm 110:10. It is the beginning of wisdom. It is the key to accessing and flowing in it. This wisdom is not for anyhow believers. Church Gist. It is for believers who tremble at the word of God. Isaiah 66:1. In those days when we go to preach from place to place, there is room for asking questions because we are not many. They can ask questions from outside what you are teaching. When the word of God doesn’t move you, nothing about you would move God. Zechariah 7:13. You can’t flow in this wisdom in your arrogance. A proud man can’t access it. They ask questions for self-justification. You remember the proud lawyer that came to Jesus in Mark 10:21. I have done everything the law demands, all I came for is your commendation. He said “one thing thou lackest”. He went away sorrowful.

Proverbs 9:10. We must understand that it is a particular lifestyle that entitles us to it. Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s meat. They couldn’t find anything about Daniel except with his God. Daniel 1:8. This wine is the money political people are carrying about and people are just taking it, including pastors. They just disconnect. No idea what next. They are partners with money bag carriers. They don’t bring such things to my house. No! It is a vow. Daniel 6:4. What a man! He could accommodate that excellent spirit because of the fear of God in Him. Daniel 5:11. Church Gist. We can’t flow in it with all this nonsense going around. You just arrange your degrees in front of your table. What is that? Somebody is changing His level. If you are not ready to embrace the fear of God as a lifestyle, you are not a candidate for it. Not playing pranks and deceiving people, taking advantage of the ignorant. Access is not free, there are definite demands among which is the fear of God as a lifestyle.

How do we maintain the flow of divine wisdom?

Through prayer of enquiries. Jeremiah 3:33. Call upon me with your questions and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you know nothing of. This book is the answer book of life. There is no question you will ever have that does not have an answer here. When you walk into a Christian bookstore, you are walking into a spiritual pharmacy where you find something that addresses the issue you are confronted with. If you walk into ministry as a professor of the New Testament, you may not succeed. You need the wisdom of God. It is not just knowing the word, how to apply the word that makes ministry work. If we start celebrating personalities here, God will leave. God will leave. “Thank God here today we have High Chief so and so, Ambassador so and so. A lot of timbre and calibre which is very long but for sake of time. I will just read eighteen of them” God will just walk away through the door. Just understand this and then you are going up. The good news is you never go through your past struggles anymore by making demands on the God of all answers. Asking questions you really trust Him for answers and He will step in.

Job 28:7-28.
Wisdom is a master solution provider. Ever war-winning weapon. It is not available in this space. Harvard doesn’t have it, Covenant doesn’t have it. It is from above. No school of learning has it. It has the highest worth of all assets on earth. It is completely off the natural space. You see the strong woman that came here to testify, you shall be stronger when you are 100 years old. You saw her rolling on this platform by herself. What a picture this morning. Everyone appointed to death this morning, that appointment is cancelled. Church Gist. The plague of untimely death in your family is finally cancelled. Born a Muslim, met Jesus and Jesus just rewrote her story. We shall all end gloriously. This wisdom is only found in God. It is the heritage of all His children. 1 Peter 2:9. We belong to royalty. Our life is ordained to be a marvel to those around us. From now on I decree that everyone’s life here shall be a marvel to all. Something has broken loose in your life.

Proverbs 9:12.
I am not trying to contain your life, I am only showing you where life is. Do you want to live a debt-free life? I have lived that now for 40 years. Come and experience how it is done. Proverbs 3:17. We have never had to settle a crisis in this church once. Church Gist. Never has the Council met and what we are doing is trying to settle crisis. You walk in the light of His word, you are walking in wisdom and all those things follow you. In the previous name of Jesus, God will redefine your peculiarity.

Let’s see what it takes to enjoy a good old age. It is the wisdom of God. Proverbs 4:10. Find out what I have said concerning your right to a good old age and line up with it and the years of your life shall be many. Proverbs 4:11. It is a brand new day for you. Proverbs 3:13-16. Church Gist. Your joy is just beginning. The wisdom of God when deployed appropriately guarantees riches and honour. Proverbs 3:17. What else is a man looking for? No wonder the Bible says it is the principal thing, with all thy getting, get understanding.

This month every one of us shall be visited into next levels. There is nothing small that cannot become big and there is nothing big that cannot become bigger. Church Gist. There is no wise man that cannot become wiser and wiser yet. Get ready, you shall be visited. Issues blocking your way forward shall be exposed and He will show you the way out.

Everything by the law of creation produces after its kind. Let us make man after our likeness and man was made. Adam was operating in that realm of wisdom, whatever He named every animal that God made, that is the name that they were called. Church Gist. When you are born again, that becomes your spiritual entitlement.

—– ALTAR CALL ———

Gifts are released through prophetic blessings. 2 Timothy 1:6-7, 1 Timothy 4:14. Very shortly I will be declaring prophetically over your life and you will be going home with your word.

• All your paths from henceforth shall be paths of pleasantness. All your ways shall be ways of pleasantness. All your path shall be peace.

Be reminded that next Sunday is our Covenant Day of Favour. One day of favour is worth more than a hundred years of labour. God will turn everyone’s vain labour into favour. By the wisdom of God coming upon us afresh, we are entering into new realms of favour.

Prayer: lift your two hands and cry out for favour. Wisdom is activated for maximum delivery. The multifaceted wisdom of God covers all areas of human endeavour. The wisdom of God that shows not theoretical wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 4:13.

Prayers: Grace to receive your counsel as I read and listen to your word, grant it to me, Jesus.

Solomon reached a point where no counsel could get to Him. He was just marrying wives. Nobody could come near him, He was the wisdom bank of the world.

• In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I decree an upgrade of the wisdom deposit in every one of us. Receive it in the name of Jesus.
• I decree access to new realms of wisdom upon every one of us in the name of Jesus.
• I curse every deception of the enemy out to rob you of access to the wisdom of God.
• I decree a fresh release of the spirit of wisdom upon our lives.
• Nothing disconnects you from the flow of divine wisdom anymore.
• I come against every spirit of pride in anyone’s life.

No one knows it like God and no one has it but God. Ecclesiastes 7:16. Don’t make yourself a victim of pride. I decree today that none of us shall fall a victim of pride. The King told Uzziah that it does not pertain to him to offer sacrifice to God, he refused “I am the king of all the priests”. As he stretched forth his hand to offer the burnt offering, God smote him. He lived the remaining days of His life in the leprosarium. A man that was once marvellously helped, destiny eroded.

• In the name of Jesus, whatever makes anyone here express a contrary opinion to the truth. I command it to end right now.

You can never grow from strength to strength except you are regular in fellowship. There is no systematic theology that can make a man who is not a giver prosper. There is no way Sir. All these funny teachings on tithing. Hebrews 7 is in the New Testament not the Old Testament. If you say it is not necessary, they have not experienced it. They should ask me and others in this church what tithing has made out of their life. How can you list somebody in this part of a depressed economy as the richest pastor in the world? There is a mystery. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 2:6. Please wake up, if you don’t experience the truth anybody can deceive you. Strive to experience the truth. I have experienced the healing power of God severally, the delivering power of God severally. You can’t tell me it doesn’t exist. The things my hands have handled. What a brand new day for you.

Go in peace. There shall be the diverse manifestation of divine wisdom in your life this week. No one ever sits an interview here online or live and is rejected. The wisdom of God will get you to be preferred above others. Church Gist. No one has it all, only God. All we need is to ask Him at every point where we don’t know what to do next and He will show us.
