to encourage and direct you on your spiritual
-
path. We're our devoted pastors and special guests

delving into the depths of the Bible, exploring
-
its profound lessons and useful applications
-
for your daily life. I came with some kind of
-
symptom, you know, and then out of the meeting,
-
you know, as I was speaking, I said that I know
-
because what I'm speaking that the person has
-
been healed. After the service, a couple of people
-
met me. They said they came here with this kind
-
of symptom and order and they were healed. Can
-
you declare that the Holy Ghost, can you say
-
the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost meets a need right
-

So as we pray in the Spirit, as we pray in the
-
Spirit, pay attention. Hallelujah. There's something

if it's your wife that you're holding her hand,
-
the Spirit of God will give you something about
-
her that is meeting a need that she has not told
-
you yesterday night. Hallelujah. If it's your
-
husband, Just press some more. The spirit of
-
God will tell you something that he has not told
-
you yet. There has been an issue in his heart.

practice again. Amen. You remember the last time
-
we had a word of knowledge, I told us after we
-
do word of wisdom, we have the signing of spirits.
-
Hallelujah. Somebody say, I'm waiting for that
-
discerning of spirits. Because I want to know
-
the spirit my housemate is using. Hallelujah.
-
Praise God. You see, the things of the spirit
-
will continue to be dormant in you if you don't
-
practice them. Amen. You are saved. Jesus loves
-
you. He has paid a price for you. But there are
-
certain things you will not be able to receive
-
as pertaining your life here on the earth. So
-
the consciousness and that daily being aware
-
that I have the Holy Ghost in me and all the
-
gifts of the Holy Ghost in me. And I need to
-
fan them into flame. It's important. Hallelujah.
-
I need to fan them into what? Into flame. It's
-
what? It's important. Say, I have the responsibility.

Say, I have the responsibility to stay up the
-
gifts of the Holy Ghost that is within me. Hallelujah.

It's your responsibility. Amen. You see, you
-
will never see when Jesus was healing blind bat
-
mouths, was there lightning and thunder? Was
-
there any drama anyway? No. Hallelujah. When
-
he was stopping the storm, was there any drama?
-
Did angels appear? Light shone everywhere? And
-
then the apostles and the disciples say, wow,
-
see the mirapolos. It was just normal. Praise
-
God. So the things of the spirit should be normal
-
to you. Don't wait for any kind of spectacular
-
thing. Lightning, thunders, things happening.
-
And then, let me say it now so that we can relate.
-
Somebody rolling here. I said, Jesus is here.
-
Jesus is here. If the person is shouting like
-
this, it's demon. Who cast that demon? The spirit
-
of God is not that violent before he speaks.
-
Amen? You see, when the Spirit comes upon me,
-
I tear my body. Before he speaks, I tear my body.
-
Ah! That's legional. That's not the Holy Ghost.
-
As we are seated like this, hallelujah. As you
-
are just seated here, the Spirit of God can give
-
you word for everybody in this place. No drama
-
attached to it. Praise God. Miracles, signs,
-
and wonders don't need to come with drama before
-
they are received. Hallelujah. Amen. Do you hear
-
what I said? Miracles, signs, and wonders don't
-
need to come with what? With drama before they
-
are what? Received. Praise God. Word of wisdom.
-
That's the topic for today. Word of wisdom. If
-
you're writing, write it. Word of wisdom and
-
then let's just take some study. Please ensure
-
you're writing or write on your phone. I want
-
to see everybody participating. After we treat
-
this, we'll treat discerning of spirit. After
-
we treat discerning of spirit, The privileges
-
and opportunities are ahead. When you see me,
-
I come here. One hour stretch. All the things
-
we have learned from catatismus, that's what
-
we're going to do. One hour, what? Stretch. Prayers,
-
ministration to each other. Prayers, ministration.
-
Practice. Prayers. Prayers, ministration. Prayers,
-
ministry. If somebody is sick beside you, you
-
hold the person's leg. If somebody has a need,
-
you meet the person's need. One hour stretch.
-
Hallelujah. Say, I do greater works. And I do
-
them daily. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. Everybody,
-
let's go. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. Say, for
-
to one is given by the Spirit the word of what?
-
The word of wisdom. Are you seeing? To one is
-
given by the Spirit the what? the word of wisdom,
-
to another the word of knowledge by what? By
-
the same spirit, to another faith, by the same
-
spirit, to another the gifts of healing, by the
-
same spirit, to another the walking of miracles,
-
to another prophecy, to another discerning of
-
spirit, to another diverse kinds of tongues,
-
to another the interpretation of tongues, but
-
all these walking that one and the self same
-
spirit dividing to every man severally as he
-
will. Hallelujah. 12, for as the body is one,
-
I had many members and all the members of that
-
one body being many are one body, so also is
-
what? Is Christ. Hallelujah. But our focus this
-
morning is on verse 8 that says, for to one is
-
given by the Spirit the word of what? The word
-
of what? Word of wisdom. Hallelujah. Praise God.
-
So, what is word of wisdom? What is word of wisdom?
-
We say word of wisdom, word of wisdom points
-
to facts. Word of wisdom points to facts in the
-
future. You remember we had word of knowledge?
-
We say word of knowledge is a fragment of God's
-
knowledge, right? Supernatural manifestation
-
of the gifts of the Holy Ghost from God's knowledge
-
on the spur of the moment. Hallelujah. So I come
-
to you. something i don't know about you and
-
the spirit of god tells me the thing amen right
-
whether it has to do with your past or it has
-
to do with your what present hallelujah that
-
is knowledge amen so but now wisdom what of wisdom
-
now will now be a fragment of god's wisdom regarding
-
a matter i'm going to tell us don't worry i'll
-
tell us the right thing to write right about
-
the future right that's Nobody knows. So God
-
is going to speak through me to you or to you
-
to me, right? In order to meet a need. Hallelujah.
-
Let me say it now and again. Word of knowledge
-
will address something in the past, right? And
-
then something in what? In the present. Hallelujah.
-
A knowledge. Amen. Word of wisdom will now take
-
it further and address something what? In the
-
future. However, there's a dynamic to it. Amen.
-
It's not only addressing something in the future,
-
right? But it's bringing an instruction on what
-
to do. Amen. Are we all here? Are we all here?
-
Good. So let's write it now properly. It points
-
to facts in the future. which can come either
-
as an instruction which can come either as an
-
instruction or through appearances or prophecies
-
comes either as an instruction or through appearances
-
or prophecies to give guidance and direction
-
on what to do and where to go. As an instruction
-
or through appearances or prophecies to give
-
guidance or direction on what to do and where
-
to what and where to go. Hallelujah. So a word
-
of knowledge will bring an information regarding
-
facts in the past or present, whereas a word
-
of wisdom will give you an instruction, right?
-
Futuristic now, that brings direction for the
-
future. Hallelujah. So a word of wisdom brings
-
direction for the what? For the future. Brings
-
direction for the future. As we begin to pray.
-
You hold the hand of the person. As you are praying
-
and praying and praying. The spirit of God. Opens
-
you up to this knowledge. About a need in the
-
person's life. He has not discussed it with you.
-
Amen. But the spirit of God is not only telling
-
you about the person's need. As it were in the
-
present. but he is also telling you on what the
-
person needs to do futuristic hallelujah so now
-
the person receives it and they rejoice glory
-
and leaves the place without even understanding
-
whether it's true or it's not true after one
-
week he just calls you he said wait oh tell me
-
how did you know this in a bag amen hallelujah
-
you see you're not spiritual it's a beggar me
-
love you spirit matthew come there's one testimony
-
you shared of that person you gave a word of
-
knowledge right yes shade and then after one
-
week or so right good shade This is how this
-
teaching will be going henceforth till we end
-
it. Amen? So be ready. I will call you anytime.
-
Be what? Be ready. God bless you. Yes. Hallelujah.
-
Glory to God. Glory to God. And then now, it's
-
already happening. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah.
-
Glory to God. On the spur of the what? Of the
-
moment. No discussion, prior discussion to now.
-
Hallelujah. Praise God. So now. So hence, we
-
can say that the word of knowledge, or the word
-
of wisdom, sorry, discloses facts and events
-
regarding the future, bringing what? Direction.
-
Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Write this. The word
-
of wisdom can be conditional or unconditional.
-
As we keep moving, it will make more sense to
-
us. So a word of wisdom can be conditional or
-
what? Unconditional. These are facts only known
-
to God and the receiver. You that you are speaking
-
to the person, you don't have an idea about it.
-
Amen? So God has an idea about it. The receiver
-
also has an idea what? About it. Praise God.
-
So it is an uninformed wisdom. There is no any
-
prior wisdom to this information. It's uninformed.
-
I did not come and say, Brother, you know. This
-
is it, this is it, this is it. And then when
-
we now meet during service, I say, press, press,
-
press, press. And then they give a word of wisdom
-
to the person. And then the guy go, you know,
-
regarding that, this thing, you know, you have
-
to do this and he will apply his, let's assume
-
he's studying psychology, you know, he will now
-
apply his psychological knowledge and say, if
-
you just do this and do this and do this, the
-
thing is done. You just look at him. If it's
-
me, I know me. I'll look at him and just smile.
-
I say, Baba, nobody see what I tell you yesterday.
-
But however, do you know you can tell a person
-
an information about a matter? And then now,
-
probably you are in a tight condition or you
-
are in a fix and you don't even know what to
-
do about it. He already has the information about
-
it. Amen? And even when you are giving him the
-
information, there was no solution to it. But
-
do you know, we can just be praying or you can
-
just sleep and wake up this morning, one of these
-
days, and just call him and say, see, this morning
-
as I was praying, I just got this instruction
-
on how this thing needs to be done. On the spur
-
of the moment. However. You have an information
-
regarding the matter. Where you don't have the
-
solution. The facts. Regarding how that needs
-
to be executed. Hallelujah. So this is an uninformed
-
wisdom. Only known to God. And to who? The receiver.
-
So the Holy Ghost. Discloses this information.
-
Right. On the spur of the moment. Through you
-
to the receiver. Praise God. So there's no prior
-
contacts before now. So it deals with facts in
-
the future with relation to the receiver's personal
-
life and what God will have him or her do. Do
-
you hear what I said? It deals with the what?
-
With the facts in the future with relation to
-
the receiver's personal life and what god will
-
have him or her do what god will have him or
-
how what do it is the gift of the spirit that
-
works in every believer is in every believer
-
is in every believer is in every one of us So,
-
what is wisdom? The Greek word for wisdom is
-
Sophia. S -O -P -H -I -A It's not Sophia in this
-
church. Praise God. Let me just say a joke. And
-
if your name is Sophia, please, we want to see
-
wisdom in your life. Sophia, S -O -P -H -I -A,
-
which implies or which means intelligence, intelligence,
-
skill, insight, intelligence, skills, insights.
-
or interpreting instructions and giving advice
-
or direction from it sophia which means intelligence
-
skills insights or interpreting instructions
-
and giving advice or direction from it are we
-
all here is that clear sofa Are we all on the
-
same page, everybody? Perfect. So a word of wisdom
-
cannot be acquired by learning logic or reasoning.
-
Word of wisdom cannot be what? Acquired by learning
-
logic or reasoning. It's a manifestation of the
-
Spirit. Word of wisdom cannot be acquired by
-
learning, logic, or reasoning. It is a manifestation
-
of what? Of the Spirit. Please always act on
-
the spur of the moment. Now. Now. So when word
-
of wisdom comes, what does it do? When word of
-
wisdom comes to us, to the believer, what does
-
it do it reveals god's strategy for the believer's
-
life it reveals god's what strategy god's plans
-
it gives direction on what to do reveals god's
-
strategy it gives what direction on what to do
-
It provides solutions to problems. Reveals God's
-
strategy. Gives direction on what to do. Provides
-
solution to problems. And what is the purpose?
-
The purpose of all this, when there is a manifestation
-
of the word of wisdom, is to guide, give clarity,
-
reveal God's help, And then his divine solution.
-
Don't worry, I'm going to repeat it again. Was
-
the purpose to guide, to give clarity for decisions?
-
To guide, to give clarity for decisions? To reveal
-
God's help? And to provide divine solution? to
-
provide divine solution so now what of wisdom
-
and all the gifts of the spirit right will require
-
the participation of the receiver will require
-
the what the participation of what of the receiver
-
is important Word of wisdom will require the
-
participation of what? Of the receiver. If there's
-
a manifestation of the things of the spirit here,
-
and then, you know, we said let the brother give
-
you a word by the spirit, and then the brother
-
gives you a word by the spirit, and then suddenly
-
you just ignore it, we say this church, they
-
are always doing too many things like that. That
-
is why, in fact, you know, I don't know. Let
-
me call one name that is not present here. Right?
-
Sister Paulina, why did you even invite me to
-
this church? Hope there is no Paulina here. Right?
-
Why did you invite me to this church? You people
-
always do this, this, this. You people did it,
-
did it, did it. That's all. Two weeks later,
-
something, an event now, you know, unfolds. You
-
say, but you know that pastor. The brother is
-
not a pastor, but nowadays a manifestation he
-
has become. You know that pastor that held my
-
hand? You know he said the same thing. How I
-
wish I heard him. Your participation is important.
-
When it comes to the things of the Spirit. In
-
fact, modify that statement this way. The participation
-
of the giver and the receiver is important when
-
it comes to the things of the Spirit. The participation
-
of the giver and the receiver is important when
-
it comes to the manifestation of the things of
-
the Spirit. So because the guide, the clarity
-
for the decisions, the next steps for you on
-
what to do, the solutions and all that he's giving
-
is not spirits that are going to follow it. You
-
are the one that will follow it. Hallelujah.
-
You are the one that will do the obedience. You
-
are the one that will receive it with joy and
-
rejoice and say, I'm going to act on this. Are
-
we all here? Have we gotten a full definition
-
of what a wisdom is? A wisdom is not. So that
-
when we say, please hold the hands of the person
-
and then give him a word, and then the person
-
begins to tell you some certain things, you know
-
that this is not the what the operation or the
-
expression of the word of wisdom the word of
-
wisdom is not natural wisdom the word of wisdom
-
is not natural wisdom sense wisdom or intellectual
-
wisdom the word of wisdom is not natural wisdom
-
sense wisdom or intellectual what wisdom you
-
remember you wrote somewhere i said it's not
-
acquired by what learning logic or what or reasoning
-
hallelujah yeah so the word of wisdom is not
-
what is not natural wisdom sense wisdom or what
-
or intellectual wisdom Because it's a spiritual
-
gift and it's not a natural gift. So if the word
-
of wisdom is a natural gift, then all other gifts
-
are also what? Are also natural. And the implication
-
of that is that you don't need the Holy Ghost
-
to have the gifts. Just be a human being. Praise
-
God. Or just go to school. Or just get a skill.
-
And you will have the wisdom. Praise God. So
-
but it's not natural. It's spiritual. It's giving
-
or we see the manifestation as a result of the
-
indwelling of the Holy Ghost in the believer.
-
So it's not sense. It's not intellectual. It's
-
not logical. Somebody is giving you an information
-
from the mind of God that is not logical to you.
-
But we know it's logical with the Spirit of God.
-
Hallelujah. He is not part of your family. He
-
does not know your father. He has never met your
-
mom. She has never met your elder sister. But
-
by the spirit of God, he or she is speaking to
-
you about a pressing need in your family. I know
-
one of the, I think the first charlatanism that
-
we had, we had somebody, yes, let me try and
-
remember well, you know, we got out in the cycles,
-
we always got out and pray and pray and pray.
-
and then somebody gave a word regarding someone's
-
sister right that has to do with something that
-
has to do with mental and some things like that
-
you know the lady just started crying because
-
that information is a private information that
-
we are not aware of it praise god but you know
-
that information didn't only come but prayers
-
came and help showed up hallelujah So let me
-
say this now as it's coming to my heart. There
-
are certain things that when it's received here
-
and told to you, right? We're going to put a
-
balance to it. Even though it's private to your
-
family, but it's not to disgrace you or make
-
it public. Hallelujah. But rather, there's a
-
wisdom from God that is coming to preserve that
-
thing and also tell you that help has come to
-
you. Praise God. Hallelujah. Perfect. James chapter
James 3 chapter mention
-
3. Let's look at scriptures now. It's not natural
-
wisdom or sense wisdom or what? Or intellectual
-
what? Wisdom. James chapter 3. We're going to
James 3 chapter mention
-
be reading a couple of scriptures on all the
-
points I'll be saying and then we'll be moving.
-
So by yourself, with all that we have defined
-
now, you can be able to point out From verse
-
16 everybody. Let's go. James chapter 3 from
James 3 chapter mention
-
verse 16. So far so good. We know what word of
-
wisdom is right? Do we know what word of wisdom
-
is? Do we know what it is not? Now the first
-
point. What it is not right? It's not what? Natural
-
wisdom. Sense knowledge. Sense wisdom. Intellectual
-
wisdom. See verse 16 now. For where envy and
-
strife is. There is what? Confusion. Sorry from
-
15. This wisdom descended not from what? Oh,
-
let's go prior. Up there. 13 now. Go to 13. Who
-
is a wise man and endued with what? Knowledge
-
among you. Let him show out of what? Good conversation.
-
His works with meekness of what? Of wisdom. 14.
-
But if you have bitter envy and strife in your
-
heart, glory not. and lie not against what the
-
truth 15 everybody let's read it now this what
-
wisdom does what descended not from where above
-
but is earthly is sensual sense and what devilish
-
for where envying and strife is there is confusion
-
and every what evil work so when we see a manifestation
-
of the wisdom of the Spirit, and what is created
-
suddenly in the receiver is confusion. It's creating
-
strife on the spot. It's creating envying on
-
the spot. We know that it's not the Spirit of
-
God at what? At manifestation, at work. Are we
-
all here? Are we all here, everybody? One. 1
-
Corinthians 1. Verse 20. 1 Corinthians 1 verse
-
what? Verse 20. Where is the wise? Where is the
-
scribe? Where is the disputer of this what? Of
-
this world? He's talking about the wisdom of
-
God and the wisdom of men. Amen? Had not God
-
made foolish the wisdom of what? The wisdom of
-
this world. Not the wisdom of God. For after
-
that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom
-
knew not what? So, we see a comparison regarding
-
the wisdom of God and the wisdom of where? Of
-
this world. See brethren. In this world there
-
is wisdom. Ah. There is what? There is wisdom.
-
You cannot exhaust it. There is wisdom in this
-
what? In this world. That is not. Word of wisdom.
-
A manifestation. And the workings of the spirit
-
of God. Amen. Hallelujah. 319. 1 Corinthians
-
319. For the wisdom of this world is what? Foolishness
-
with God, for it is written, he taketh the wise
-
in their own what? Captiveness. Remember I said
-
the word of wisdom is not acquired by what? Logic,
-
learning or what? Or reasoning. The wisdom of
-
the world has its own ways how it is acquired.
-
Praise God. Oh. The Lord of wisdom only has one
-
way that it is acquired by the Spirit of God.
-
There are not 10 ways. There are not 50 ways.
-
Only one way and it's the only way that you have
-
the Holy Ghost indwelling you. Ten ways to be
-
a self -made billionaire. Eat the frog and cook
-
it. Take the bull by the horn. So the world will
-
give you series of literatures so that you can
-
navigate your way. If you go to my helper university,
-
they will say, no, no, their wisdom is low. Go
-
to Harvard Business School. You have a higher
-
IQ. Can't you see those guys, they don't think
-
like, then the person will say like us, that
-
we are here. Say glory to God. Glory to God.
-
Say glory to God. I have the spirit of God. Dwelling
-
in me. Hallelujah. Colossians 2 .8. The wisdom
-
of the world is not the word of wisdom. The word
-
of wisdom will not create strife and envy. No.
-
Colossians 2 .8. Say beware. Lest any man spoil
-
you through what? Through what? Through what?
-
Philosophy and what? Vain deceit. After the tradition
-
of what? Of men. After the rudiments of what?
-
Of this world and not after what? After Christ.
-
See, in this world there is method to There is
-
method. Forget it. There is what? There is methods.
-
Oh, there are methods. If you come to medicine,
-
there are methods. You move to nursing, there
-
are methods. You go to biomedical engineering,
-
there are methods. You go to English language,
-
there are methods. You go back to your village,
-
there are what? methods let me say so that we
-
can laugh don't worry when you come to marry
-
you know there are methods you understand what
-
tradition of men is you know my in -laws raised
-
leg and then they showed me love with an outstretched
-
arm and then people in my village came up and
-
say ah but if you follow tradition too and so
-
what are they bringing to us i said what are
-
they bringing to you i don't understand they're
-
not bringing anything he said normally you know
-
we two are supposed to write our list and send
-
to who help you to build capacity to a place
-
where when they will speak these things they
-
will not speak to you directly you don't say
-
man ah let me say so that the revelation will
-
come god will help you to build capacity so that
-
when they will speak these things they will not
-
speak to you they didn't speak to me directly
-
i over had it there's a level where you will
-
be they will speak to you directly And they will
-
force you. And you must do it. You will cry your
-
life. You see what? Do it. You kept the sister
-
for 10 years. You must marry her. That's by the
-
way. But I said all these things to tell you
-
that tradition of men is not word of wisdom.
-
It's not. Because you see, all this mentioned
-
in that verse. The scriptures say it's not after
-
Christ. Hallelujah. It is not what? After Christ.
-
The philosophy of men, not after what? Christ.
-
Perfect. Add one more now. I think we've gotten
-
enough references here. Ecclesiastes chapter
-
1 verse 16 to 17. Are we being blessed so far?
-
Good. Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse 16 to 17.
-
I commune with my own heart saying, Lord, I am
-
come to great estate and I have gotten more wisdom
-
than all day that have been before me in what?
-
Jerusalem. Yea, my heart had great experience
-
of wisdom and what? Knowledge. Next verse. And
-
I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know what?
-
Madness and what? Folly. i perceive that this
-
also is a vexation of what this is not word of
-
wisdom hallelujah this is an acquired knowledge
-
by experience it's not oh boy what of wisdom
-
will not create vexation inside you after you
-
have received something will just shift inside
-
you there'll be a steering You will know this
-
is God at work now. Next now. The word of wisdom
-
is not a profound wisdom of the Bible. We'll
-
put a balance to it. The word of wisdom is not
-
what? That's the second one now. What the word
-
of wisdom is not. The word of wisdom is not what?
-
It's not a profound wisdom of the Bible. So it
-
is certainly true that God will help us understand
-
his word. We have the written word. We have teachers
-
that he has given us. Amen. And they are teaching
-
us his word. And the believer ought to give himself
-
to have knowledge of God's word. When I say knowledge
-
of God's word, I mean the written word. In fact,
-
let me say this as it's coming to my heart. Put
-
a premium priority to have the knowledge of God's
-
word. Put a premium priority to have the knowledge
-
of God's word. Let God's word dwell in you so
-
what? Richly in all wisdom. Have God's word rooted
-
in your heart richly. Not sparingly. There's
-
a reason for that. And we're going to put a balance
-
now to it. Amen? So, the wisdom from God's word,
-
the written word, is not a supernatural gift.
-
The wisdom from God's word, the written word,
-
is not a what? It's not a supernatural gift.
-
The wisdom from God's word, the written word,
-
is not a what? It's not a supernatural gift.
-
Reading the Bible daily, understanding its content,
-
sitting down under a teaching, and your thoughts,
-
God's word, is not word of wisdom. Are we all
-
here? Then let's write this now. But we must
-
know that the written word must always validate
-
the word of wisdom. Praise God. But we must know
-
that the written word must always what? Validate
-
the word of wisdom. So, in this atmosphere, when
-
somebody is giving you a word of wisdom, How
-
can we be able to judge it? First, we will judge
-
that speaking through what? Through the what?
-
The written word. Amen? So the written word must
-
always validate what? The word of wisdom. That
-
is, we must judge what we are receiving through
-
the written word. So what are we saying in essence?
-
That the word of wisdom must work in connection
-
with the written word. That's what we are saying
-
in essence. The word of wisdom must work in connection
-
with what? I said something during Karatismos
-
when we were talking about tongues and interpretation
-
of tongues. One of the leaders, the presidents
-
that we had, came up. We know that. I know that
-
he's not speaking by the Spirit of God. He said,
-
all of you, you just gather in the devotion hall.
-
That cannot be the spirit of God First the spirit
-
of God Is residing in our inside. Hallelujah.
-
Secondly. We are taught and trained. We have
-
knowledge of what tongues and interpretation
-
is to the believer. Thirdly. We are giving expression.
-
To prayers in the Holy Ghost. Amen. So there
-
is no how. We can be saying when we go out. We
-
should go and have what? Accident. Not possible.
-
Then now when we carry that. And judge it with
-
God's word. we will never see anywhere where
-
the apostles prayed in the holy ghost and then
-
the next thing is accident or the manifestation
-
or the interpretation of it is that what is accident
-
no so word of wisdom works in connection with
-
what with the written word hallelujah hallelujah
-
let me say it again for emphasis the word of
-
wisdom in operation is not higher than the written
-
words do you hear what i said the word of wisdom
-
in operation is not what is not higher if they
-
say the way you classify it than what than the
-
written words you say you know as i just held
-
your hands oh you know this is what the spirit
-
of god forget about the bible now forget hear
-
me hear me forget about the bible you are a liar
-
we can't forget about the bible what i say to
-
you you may not find it in the written word because
-
it's coming from the portals from the vistas
-
of heaven you know there are certain things that
-
have not yet been documented in the bible and
-
we are setting the mind of God and we are bringing
-
it and somebody will say you go from genesis
-
1 1 to revelation you can't see what i'm saying
-
because this inspiration is by the spirit of
-
god oh you see what i'm saying will give empathy
-
to the written forget just close your ears if
-
i were you i'll just touch my friends at least
-
now glory to god i have a wife i'll tell her
-
let's go Listen, let me say this now to some
-
people now. It just came to my heart. As you
-
scroll your Instagram, as you scroll your Facebook,
-
listen to me now. There are some things, don't
-
watch them. Don't even waste a second. Once you
-
hear, my wife knows she's here. As I just hear,
-
she says, she'll tell you. I don't even wait.
-
Once you just say, you just say one rubbish,
-
I just do like this. let's read the comments
-
and say no we should not even read the comments
-
follow after the things oh thank you holy spirit
-
follow after the things that keep your fire burning
-
Follow after the things. Listen to things. Follow
-
after the things that stirs you up. Follow after
-
the things that keeps you on fire. Follow after
-
the things. I'm not saying scrolling is sin.
-
No. But it's just that those things have been
-
sworn as seeds in your heart. So, God will not
-
violate the written word because he is speaking
-
through you by his spirit. You hear what I just
-
said now? God will not violate his what? His
-
written word because he is speaking through you
-
by his what? By his spirit. He will not violate
-
the written word. Praise God. Psalms 119 verse
-
98 to 100. Psalms 119. Psalms 119. Are we all
-
there? 98 to 100. See what the scripture says
-
there. 98. Thou through my commandment has made
-
me wiser. Oh, sorry. Thou through thy what? Thy
-
commandment has made me what? Wiser than my what?
-
for they are ever what? With me. He's talking
-
about the written word now. Right? See what he
-
say? I have more understanding than all my teachers
-
for thy testimonies and my what? Meditation.
-
This is no word of wisdom. Hallelujah. This is
-
no what? Word of wisdom. I understand more than
-
the ancient because I keep thy what? Presence.
-
It's not word of wisdom. Praise God. Proverbs
-
2 verse 6. Proverbs 2 verse 6. For the Lord giveth
-
wisdom out of his mouth cometh knowledge and
-
what? Understanding. This is not word of wisdom.
-
Amen. Deuteronomy chapter 4, 5 to 6. Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 4 chapter mention Deuteronomy 4 chapter mention
-
chapter 4, 5 to 6. All the scriptures we are
-
reading, please pay attention to the points above.
-
That is not a profound wisdom of what? Of the
-
Bible. 4, 5 to 6. Behold, I have taught you statutes
-
and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded
-
me, that ye shall do in the land whither ye go
-
to possess it. Keep therefore and do what? And
-
do them, for this is your what? This is your
-
what? Wisdom that you keep and do them is your
-
what? It's your wisdom and your understanding
-
in the sight of the nations which shall hear
-
all these statues and say, surely this great
-
nation is a wise and what? Understanding people.
-
It's not word of wisdom. Praise God. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. 2 Timothy 3 .15. 2 Timothy 3 .15.
-
And that from a child, thou hast known the word.
-
Thou hast known the word. Which are able to make
-
thee wise unto what? Through faith which is way
-
in Christ Jesus. It's not word of wisdom. So
-
having a profound knowledge and wisdom of the
-
written word is not word of what? It's not word
-
of wisdom. Next one. The word of wisdom is not
-
wisdom from God through experience. The word
-
of wisdom is not wisdom from God through experience.
-
You're 30. You're 40. You're 50. You're 60. You're
-
70. You're a professor. You're a consultant.
-
You have some form of level of experience by
-
the standard of men. It's not word of wisdom.
-
Hallelujah. You know, I wrote here, I said, another
-
mistaken idea about the gift of the word of wisdom
-
is that the word of wisdom. Okay, sorry. Another
-
mistaken idea is that about the word of wisdom.
-
is that the word of wisdom comes by working closely
-
with God. And what I mean by working closely
-
now, by having years of experience. So some people
-
feel, oh you know, I've been in this ministry
-
for 35 years. So I can be able to tell you how
-
to navigate your way in the work of ministry.
-
That is not word of wisdom. You just want to
-
share with me an experience. hallelujah how 35
-
years right this and this and this and this and
-
this and this happened to you that is not what
-
what of what what of wisdom hallelujah so the
-
believer does gain a real wisdom of god by working
-
with him the believer has and will gain wisdom
-
by working with what With God in fellowship.
-
You will have wisdom. We just read a couple of
-
scriptures. Amen. You will have what? Wisdom.
-
You will gain a real wisdom of God by working
-
with him daily and through his word. But that
-
is different from supernatural manifestation
-
of what? Of the word of wisdom. About certain
-
facts in the mind of God. Hallelujah. Let's write
-
Exodus 33 11. Exodus 33 11. Exodus 33 11 to 12.
-
Are we all there? Exodus 33 11. And the Lord
-
spake unto Moses face to face as a man spake
-
unto his friend, and he turned again into the
-
camp. But his servant Joshua, the son of Nun,
-
a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
-
And Moses said unto the Lord, See thou sayest
-
unto me, Bring up these people, and thou hast
-
not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.
-
Yet thou hast said, I know thee by what? I know
-
thee by what? By name. And thou hast also found
-
grace what? 11. And the Lord spoke unto Moses,
-
face what? To face to face. Verse 12 now is ending
-
and the Lord is saying, I know. I know what?
-
I know thee, Moses. I know you. Right? Perfect
-
now. So, let's read Psalms 103 verse 7 now. It's
-
tied to this place. Psalms 103. Psalms 103 verse
-
7. See what the scripture says there. Psalms
-
103 verse 7. He said, he made known his what?
-
His ways unto what? His acts unto what? The children
-
of what? So you having a knowledge of how God
-
does his things is not word of wisdom. The wisdom
-
and the knowledge you get as a result of fellowship,
-
daily working with God, knowing God and having
-
this solid relationship with Jesus is not what?
-
Word of wisdom. That experience is not word of
-
what? Word of wisdom. However, I will put a balance
-
to it. However, that experience will be the platform
-
on which the practice of the manifestation of
-
the word of wisdom will be normal for you do
-
you hear what i said the experience and the fellowship
-
and the relationship is not word of wisdom but
-
the platform for that fellowship and experience
-
right will be that place where you can easily
-
practice what all the manifestation of the gifts
-
of the holy ghost so what i'm saying in essence
-
is because there is a consistent fellowship right
-
You are always on fire. You are always fervent.
-
It's easier to see daily the manifestation of
-
the things of the spirit. Hallelujah. So write
-
this now, everybody. Write this now. Write these
-
scriptures. And when we come on Wednesday, we'll
-
be able to now build on that. Job chapter 42
-
verse 5. Job chapter 42 verse 5. Genesis 18.
-
Genesis 18, 19, Job 42, verse 5. Have you written
-
that? Then write this subtopic. The word of wisdom
-
is not wisdom in the affairs of life. There's
-
a reason why we are going to what the word of
-
wisdom is not. The word of wisdom is not wisdom
-
in the affairs of life. So after we do this,
-
we'll do how the word of knowledge and the word
-
of wisdom and the prophetic work together. Amen?
-
And then from there, we'll now see word of wisdom
-
in the Old Testament, word of wisdom in the what?
-
In the New Testament. Can we rise to our feet,
-
everybody? Thank you for listening to our sermon
-
