IF YOU SUCCEED BY TRICKS, YOU WILL BE TRAPPED. ONLY WHAT THE LORD DOES SHALL BE FOREVER
GOD DOESN’T SHOW HIMSELF TO EVERY ‘JACK AND HARRY’ BUT TO THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE PERFECT
YOU NEED THE RIGHT HEART TO HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD, THOSE WHO FAKE IT, CAN’T HAVE IT!
IF I WERE THE IMPACTER OF WISDOM, GOD KNOWS THAT I WANT IT WELL WITH EVERYBODY, YOU WON’T STRUGGLE TO GET IT! BUT GOD WANTS IT WELL MORE THAN I DO, HENCE HE LOOKS FOR PERFECT HEARTS TO DETERMINE OUR PORTIONS
GOD’S PLAN IS TO UNLEASH HIS MANIFOLD WISDOM UPON THE CHURCH BEFORE CHRIST’S RETURNS.
NO ASSET UNDER HEAVEN CAN BE COMPARED TO THE TREASURE CALLED DIVINE WISDOM
GOD SAID TO ME, TELL THEM THAT FAR BE IT FROM ME, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THAT I DEPEND UPON YOUR WRETCHED PURSES. YOUR WRETCHED PURSES DEPEND ON ME FOR REPLENISHING
-Bishop David Oyedepo at Impartation of the Spirit of Wisdom Service
|| Canaanland, Ota.
-Prayer: Lift up your two hands everyone! I’m ready for my portion Jesus! I’m ready for my portion this morning! I refuse to go back the same way that I came, reach out to me, Jesus, I pray in Jesus’ name!
And the Spirit entered into me when He spake unto me Ezekiel 2:2. Impartation is not what happens when you only pray or make proclamations, it flows as you open your heart to the Word. As we open our heart to the Word, we are imparted because the Word we are speaking to you are Spirit and Life John 6:63. Church Gist. The Spirit of Wisdom must enter me today!
-Prayer: As your Word goes forth, impart me again with the Spirit of Prayer and Wisdom, we pray in Jesus’ precious name!
One of those great men was ministering in 1977, and I knew that something bellowed on me as the Word was going forth. There were sparks in my system, something precious beyond what eyes can see, this will be your portion in today’s service!
-Prayer: Father thank you, we are here for the fresh impartation of the Spirit of Wisdom, let it come heavy upon everyone’s life in Jesus’ name we pray!
Now, this is where the journey begins, let’s hear what they will say today and nothing will happen to you. Is anyone sure that these things are real? The eyes of the Lord runneth toe and fro in all the earth, God doesn’t show Himself to every ‘Jack and Harry’ but to those whose hearts are perfect 2 Chronicles 16:9. You need the right heart to have an encounter with God, those who fake it, can’t have it! Give instruction to a wise man and he will yet be wiser, is a journey! Proverb 9:9, Ecclesiastes 7:16. Church Gist. Two wise individual can’t access nothing! God restricts access to the proud and grants grace to the humble. Only those who know that they don’t know are empowered to know more. Let him that thinks that he know anything know that he knows nothing yet 1 Corinthians 8:2.
-Prayer: it’s time for your next level in the school of Wisdom and you are getting there!
Now, the important thing to note is that God is the umpire of impartation, He looks at the heart not taking sides about our looks or other factor that appeals to the human criteria. He is aware, regardless of the deceitful heart of men! God knows those who are ready for the impartation Jeremiah 17:9, 2 Chronicles 16:9. Church Gist. You don’t have to be big to be proud, it is a spirit! There are proud beggers who looks down on anything that is being given to them even when it is borne out of sacrifice. Let us know that pride is a destroyer of destiny! If I were the impacter, you won’t struggle! Because God knows that I want it well with everybody, but God wants it well more than I do, hence, He checks the heart to determine your portion. He cast out anyone who does not measure up to the heart standard Psalm 51:11. No one shall be a victim of such in the name of Jesus!
Now, let me tell you the importance of this, one day when I was about going into full time ministry, while I was having a nice time with God, He said: “My son, I will not have you go like others have gone, I will lay my Hands on you and you shall be filled with the Spirit of Wisdom after the order of Joshua” Deuteronomy 34:9. Church Gist. At that point, I was just asking God for His final instruction on how to carry out the assignment but this came forth, showing that it is the principal thing that makes things to work.
-Prayer: Today, that principal treasure will have it’s free access to your life in Jesus’ name! Henceforth, the stress and the struggle to make things work is released into your life, Amen!
Wisdom is the principal thing! And happy is the man that gets it Proverb 3:13-17, Proverb 4:7-9. No asset under heaven can be compared to the treasure called Divine Wisdom!
So, I am sharing on the subject that I have captioned: UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF INSPIRATION. Inspiration is the covenant channel through which the Wisdom of God in print called ‘The Bible’ was delivered 2 Timothy 3:16-17. So the channel through which the Bible came to light was ‘inspiration’. Church Gist. Inspiration is the move of the Spirit within us through which we gain access to the deep things of God which puts a believer in command of the affairs of life 2 Peter 1:20-21. We saw that move through Peter on the day of Pentecost, that’s not the speech of a fisherman, that was an intellectual celebrity which wrapped up the whole history of Israel unto Christ and they were pricked in their hearts- sharp, piercing words and 3,000 people surrendered their lives to Christ Acts 2:14-41. Boldness connotes Wisdom Acts 4:13, Daniel 3:16!
-Prayer: From today, you will be smarter than your enemies!
Wisdom makes the face of a wise man to shine. Whatever you declare boldly in the secret place by reason of access, God confirms it boldly. I declare that this will be your portion in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Wisdom is a covenant facilitator of Glory 1 Corinthians 2:7, Proverb 3:35.
-Prayer: I declare that shame and reproach shall be far from you in Jesus’ name!
Without the Spirit of God, no man can access the deep things of God 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, Genesis 41:38, Genesis 41:15 and 16, Daniel 5:11-30. Church Gist. This is the many sides Wisdom of God that teaches principalities and powers great lesson Ephesians 3:10-11.
-Prayer: There will a manifold display of this kind of power before Jesus returns. Covenant people will be called into power to take over territories and you will get enlisted in that number as you return home, Amen!
God’s plan is to unleash His manifold Wisdom upon the Church before Christ returns Psalms 110: 2, Proverb 8:15.
-Prayer: Something must enter you today because it is your birthright. Divine wisdom is our birthright and today, there must be a raw activation of this virtue in your life today!
It is also very important for us to check the content of the Holy Spirit, remember that there is one Faith, Baptism, Body and Spirit Ephesians 4:4-6.
What is the Holy Ghost made up of?
The Spirit of God connotes the anointing- the Power of God Isaiah 11:1-2. The Spirit of God is now the Spirit of Wisdom, Counsel, Understanding, Knowledge, Might and the Fear of God. Might connotes physical stamina. Church Gist. This Spirit of Might was at work in Gideon, Samson. We saw the anointing operate in the early Church!
We saw the anointing operate in the early church, destroying yokes and setting free captives. And its still ongoing now. But then we have this package, and it’s the principal content of the Holy Spirit. Wisdom, Counsel, Understanding, Knowledge, and then the Fear of the Lord which is the beginning of the wisdom. Church Gist. So 5 of the 7 components of the Holy Ghost has to do with wisdom and makes men of quick understanding. Supernaturally smart! And now look at verse 3: “And shall make him of quick understanding in the things of God. Quick understanding!They were 10 times better than their colleagues! Quick understanding! Quick understanding.
So the Holy Spirit is there to activate the divine wisdom deposit in us by redemption, for wisdom is the heritage of all her children. That goes again to validate that wisdom is the principal thing. You can be anointed and still be a failure. You can be full of vigor and still be a victim. So the wisdom content is the principal content of the Holy Spirit. Church Gist. They could not resist the wisdom and power with which Stephen was ministering. Wisdom and power! Stephen was full of faith and power and did great wonders among the people. And that’s the right of every body. He was a deacon, he was not an apostle or a prophet or anybody. Power came upon him, the Holy Ghost bellowed upon him. His face shone like an angel. Somebody’s story is changing!
So without the Holy Spirit at work, we are limited in access to the realm of divine wisdom. Job 32:7,8. It ignites your spirit and my spirit to access the deep things of God or call it the deep things of life. The deep things of life. The spirit of wisdom triggers supernatural insight, it takes you off the natural realm to the heavenly realm of manifestation. Everything that runs this commission today is as drawn from here. Everything!
I heard God say to me via the power of inspiration, “Don’t raise money, raise men and you will have more money than you will ever need for ministry. And so from the onset, there is no gri gri gri gri gri. If a man gives according to what he has, its acceptable. If he has not, its fine. Pressure free, yet prosperity full by granted divine insight.
I was going for a Full Gospel seminar one time in 1987 and I was across Makurdi, driving from Kaduna to the east. And God said to me, “Tell them, that far be it from me, the Almighty God, that I depend upon your wretched purses. But your wretched purses depend upon me for replenishing.” He was speaking loud to me, and I was receiving it with all my being and applying it to myself. God will never depend on me. My giving wont make God God. Church Gist. My not giving will not make Him less than God. My giving is my cup of tea. Its absolutely for my blessing. You know what that means,it opens a new chapter to my life. I was going there for their meeting, I was not going there to raise money. But he was telling me to show them how to secure their future. Don’t boast as a sponsor of the Gospel. You don’t have that capacity. God cant entrust you and me with that. Somebody’s story is changing!
What inspiration does is to open new chapters to our lives. It just opens new chapters to our lives. Bible based, Bible rooted inspiration opens new chapters. Church Gist. As we behold Him and as in a glass, we are changed from glory to glory into the same image as by the Spirit of God.
-Prayer : That’s the kind of changes everyone of us will start experiencing from now. It shall be from glory to glory! No more glory to shame! No more up today and down tomorrow! In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus!
Now lets watch the effect of this back again in Daniel 5:12,13. It announces people. It shows access to this realm is found on its own. Watch out for this. Church Gist. It’s inspiration that enhances our access to draw wisdom from the things we see, hear, read or study. Go to the ant, ye sluggard. Learning from the ant. Proverbs 6:6. When the inspirational access came upon Solomon, he spake of trees, of animals of all kinds. Now go down to 1 Kings 4:29. Church Gist.
When we talk about the civilized world, his insight was incomparable. For whatever is above is above all. Whatever comes from God is above whatever you can find here on earth. It will announce the redeemed to the world around them. It’s a new day for us. Inspiration enhances accurate interpretation of scriptures towards the realization of our glorious destiny. Ecclesiastes 8: 1,2.
Holy Ghost inspired interpretation of Scriptures! And why not? The world is a product of the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. So it takes inspiration to draw from it. It enhances our capacity for accurate interpretation of scriptures which goes to secure our glorious destiny. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13. Not just one legged scripture and be running up and down. It brings them together. A web of revelation, to deliver its product, its awesome product, its enviable product. Because this book is a product of the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, inspiration is required to access the hidden wisdom. The hidden treasures in this book. That’s what makes inspiration the breeding ground for the manifestation of divine wisdom.
-Prayer: Unusual things will start happening! I have discovered this is the mystery behind the rise of giants in this end time. The wisdom of God that turns ordinary men into wonders among men. That turns ordinary men into wonders among men. You shall be one! Your place another man will not take! Your crown another man will not take! Your crown another man will not take! Your crown another man will not take! In the name of Jesus!
Lets examine another pathway to inspiration. Inspiration is an act of the spirit of wisdom at work in man. For us to flow in inspiration, we must be men and women of the spirit. Galatians 5:25. Church Gist. So walking in the spirit is key to operate in the realm of inspiration which connects us to wisdom from above in dealing with the affairs of men. So jealously guard your spiritual life. If we must maintain the flow of inspiration, we must be men and women of the spirit. John said, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day…” and the whole Book of Revelation came out of that. Certain great things must have passed by many of us because we were not in the spirit when it came, so we couldn’t catch it. That’s not you anymore! Inspiration! Another pathway is commitment to the Word of God. Commitment to the Word of God. It is a product of inspiration so it inspires people. Commitment to the study of the Word, commitment to meditations in the Word, on any subject matter. It keeps inspiration flowing. Jeremiah 15:16. Isaiah 12:3
We draw from the well of salvation with joy. And the Word still has joy unspeakable, full of glory in us. So commitment to the Word and meditation is a vital pathway to access and flow in inspiration. The Spirit of wisdom stirs inspiration within us. And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding. Jesus breathed on them and said “ Receive ye the Holy Ghost”. It sparks new levels of understanding in people. It’s a stirrer of that deposit in us. After He molded man, he breathed into Him and everything came alive. When we come under the breath of the Holy Ghost who is principally the Spirit of Wisdom, everything in us including our mind, our intellect, our wisdom, comes alive. And that’s your portion!
Number 4, we access inspiration through expectant prayers. Answer expectant prayers, not just praying for the sake of prayer. Expectant prayers. Holy Spirit where do I go from here? Whoooo. And he opens it up. If any man lacks wisdom let him ask from God, He will give it to him liberally. Liberally. James 1:5. Expectant prayers stirs inspiration that provides the answers and solutions to issues on hand. Church Gist. The wisest man in Bible history Solomon, he asked for it, and God gave it him liberally.
- Prayer: You and I will never run out of it! In the name of Jesus Christ ,Amen! In the name of Jesus Christ! In the name of Jesus Christ! In the name of Jesus Christ!
Pathways to inspiration: separating oneself for the purpose of gaining insight on any issue of interest. It triggers inspiration. Why is this church not growing? Then light came down. The Spirit of God came down and provided direct, raw, practical, unmistakable answers to the subject of church growth and the impact is still here today.
-Prayer: In the name of Jesus, no question around anyone’s life will lack access to answers!
Proverbs 18:1. We need sometime alone with God to access which next right step to take. We need quality time out, quality time out. Genesis 24:43. He went out, it was a schedule. He programmed it, to think the way forward, to meditate on the way forward and its clear that he got it by the testimony that followed. Church Gist. They brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus. Moses said we should stone her, what do you say? He stooped down and began to write on the floor. Separating himself from the crowd, from the noise. He lifted up His eyes and said ‘whosoever has not sinned among you, let him be the first to cast his stone at her.’ They went away one by one. He got the right key. John 8:2-8. They brought Him a coin, should we pay tribute to Caesar or not? He knew they were killers. Church Gist. Answer us now. No, I’m not as a fool as you are. He separated himself from that environment, not by going away physically but spiritually there was a disconnect between Him and those people. And he came back with the answer. Bring me a coin. Whose inscription is this? Caesar. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. they asked Him no more questions. There’s no way to go through. Church Gist. So we contact inspiration by a deliberate separation in search of specific insight on matters confronting us. Can I hear your amen?
Matthew 22:20-22. Keeping company with the wise inspires people. Proverbs 13:20; 27:17,19. Keeping company with the wise keeps us inspired.
The next asset we are looking at is a lifestyle of thanksgiving and praise. “I will sing in my understanding and I will sing in the Spirit”. That was Paul’s testimony, he had unusual access to revelation. He wrote about half of the new testament. In John 11, Jesus lifted his eyes and said Father, I thank you and then the unusual happened, Lazarus came forth out of the grave. A lifestyle of praise and thanksgiving. Isaiah 30:30. It is a covenant pathway to flowing in inspiration. Colossians 3:16. This is Paul admonishing, the secrets of men are in their stories. Church Gist. Follow me, he said as I follow Christ. This is what I do. So as you are full of songs of praise and a heart of gratitude, you keep flowing in inspiration. “Bring me a minstrel”. As she began to minister, the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha and he declared the unusual. There shall not be rain, there shall not be dew but the valley shall be full of water and it happened. Bring me a singer, when you get into it inspiration flows. No more murmuring and complaining in your life anymore. You will never be downcast again.
Finally, joy and rejoicing facilitate inspiration. Luke 10:21. Jesus had a nickname for all His disciples. An ever humourous master. Another man of unusual inspiration was David. Psalm 34:1. By inspiration, he had unusual access to the heart of God. Acts 2:30. He knew that afar of. Philippians 4:4 Philippians 1:15-18. That was the lifestyle of Paul, so inspiration kept flowing. He was a man of joy and rejoicing. Nothing doused him, he was on top of it all at all times. Habakkuk 3:17-19. Church Gist. No more downtime in your life. Your head will never be cast down anymore. The more we rejoice, the greater our access to God’s plan and purpose. It is your turn. Jeremiah 10:12. We saw these dimensions. We keep enjoying enlargement as inspiration keeps flowing. It moves us from wisdom to realms of discretion. The Galaxies exist by His discretion. There shall be no limits to God’s enlargement grace on our lives. He gave Solomon wisdom and largeness of heart – discretion, more than the sand by the seashore. The impartation going on now will result in your supernatural enlargement, both in your walk with God and in the affairs of your life.
In conclusion, without the Holy Ghost actively at work in us. We remain utterly limited in access to the deep things of life which makes high flyers of the redeemed. The deeper our insights, the higher we fly. He is the one that facilitates access to the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10. When I started teaching on hitch-free marriage, people were not aware that such things exist. Two are ordained to be better than one, not worse than one. One shall chase a thousand, two shall put ten thousand to flight. Church Gist. Deuteronomy 32:30. They are written and what you need to make it happen. you can’t line up with it and not have a testimony. Something is breaking forth in your life. He told me, I have a running budget for all my kingdom projects on the earth. Can you be any more restful than that? I have my running budget, I can’t put it in the pocket of anybody, what if he runs away? The silver and the gold are mine. Haggai 2:8-9. Inspiration establishes our glorious destiny. You won’t be running here and there.
Who pays me? You are in my employment, Luke 10:1-5. Just stay on your job, you will be paid your hire. I bought into it, hook, line and sinker. I have never crossed anybody’s door since I came into ministry, please can you help? I am not jobless. Church Gist. I am in His employment, the highest office in the universe. That is how wisdom gives you rest. It shows you what is available and what to do to access it.
“My son David, my prosperity plan is not a promise, it doesn’t answer to prayers, it has no respect for fasting. It is a covenant, until your part is played, I am not committed”. How reliable is His covenant? as long as the day and night are exchanging positions. Church Gist. The moon and the sun are exchanging position, my covenant remains in force. I saw myself in wealth when there was no bank account. God is going to change your story. I am just sharing with you, the power of inspiration.
Who taught you how to run a university that will deliver excellent results? Inspiration. Where to go, what to check and we saw creative insights as granted by God. No venture of your life will hit the rocks again. He delivered the mandate but He didn’t tell us how to approach it, open up to it. “Plant 5,000 churches is my order, go and find out how to do it”. Plant 10,000 churches, He didn’t tell you what to do to get it done, you find it. Proverbs 18:1. A new day dawns on your life. May this Spirit of wisdom bellow on every one of us around the world today. Church Gist. By the manifestation of this Spirit of wisdom, everyone called a Winner who chooses to buy into this prophetic word today, will have no struggles anymore. Is it possible to live in a world of struggles and not struggle? Yes! Your church is not struggling, you should know that. Your church is not begging, your church is not going down. Coro came and went, we didn’t feel it. We were employing more people in their thousands. God will change your story.
Prayers: Lift your right hand and desperately demand for a fresh baptism of the Spirit of wisdom. Demand grace to take responsibility for not just having it but also growing in it.
May God see each one of us fit for this outpouring. May no one’s heart disqualify him or her for access in the name of Jesus.
2 Chronicles 20:20.
Any grace granted to any Apostle of Christ is to be freely given to whosoever desires. Therefore, I release upon you, the Spirit of wisdom at work in this commission. Receive it in the name of Jesus. Every disobedience will hear you from today. Every opposition will know the wisdom of God at work in you. Church Gist. Where others see troubles you will be seeing treasure. For the eyes of this wisdom sees every precious thing. It is not found in the land of the living and cannot be found in any school of learning. I decree that this surprise treasure returns home with every one of us today.
For everyone hungry to be baptized in the Holy Ghost, receive it now in the name of Jesus. It is a free gift of God to all His children. You can’t understand the worth of a thing and not strive to get it. We are utterly limited without Him. They exclaimed about Jesus, “what wisdom is this?” that such mighty works were wrought by His hand. Church Gist. In the precious name of Jesus whatever makes anybody despise this treasure comes to an end today. I said years ago, we have not succeeded by tricks but by truth. If you succeed by tricks, you will be trapped. Whatever the Lord does shall be forever. I decree today that every form of craftiness and deceitfulness that is blocking the access of many to go forward comes to an end today.
I decree the stirring of the mind of Christ in everyone. The creative power of Christ resides in you and me, I decree the stirring up of that treasure right now. Church Gist. Now receive a fresh impartation of the Spirit of wisdom. So shall it be.
