  132. Did angels appear? Light shone everywhere? And

  133. then the apostles and the disciples say, wow,

  134. see the mirapolos. It was just normal. Praise

  135. God. So the things of the spirit should be normal

  136. to you. Don't wait for any kind of spectacular

  137. thing. Lightning, thunders, things happening.

  138. And then, let me say it now so that we can relate.

  139. Somebody rolling here. I said, Jesus is here.

  140. Jesus is here. If the person is shouting like

  141. this, it's demon. Who cast that demon? The spirit

  142. of God is not that violent before he speaks.

  143. Amen? You see, when the Spirit comes upon me,

  144. I tear my body. Before he speaks, I tear my body.

  145. Ah! That's legional. That's not the Holy Ghost.

  146. As we are seated like this, hallelujah. As you

  147. are just seated here, the Spirit of God can give

  148. you word for everybody in this place. No drama

  149. attached to it. Praise God. Miracles, signs,

  150. and wonders don't need to come with drama before

  155. That's the topic for today. Word of wisdom. If

  156. you're writing, write it. Word of wisdom and

  157. then let's just take some study. Please ensure

  158. you're writing or write on your phone. I want

  159. to see everybody participating. After we treat

  160. this, we'll treat discerning of spirit. After

  161. we treat discerning of spirit, The privileges

  162. and opportunities are ahead. When you see me,

  163. I come here. One hour stretch. All the things

  168. ministry. If somebody is sick beside you, you

  169. hold the person's leg. If somebody has a need,

  170. you meet the person's need. One hour stretch.

  171. Hallelujah. Say, I do greater works. And I do

  172. them daily. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. Everybody,

    1 Corinthians 12:8

  173. let's go. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. Say, for

    1 Corinthians 12:8

  174. to one is given by the Spirit the word of what?

  175. The word of wisdom. Are you seeing? To one is

  176. given by the Spirit the what? the word of wisdom,

  177. to another the word of knowledge by what? By

  178. the same spirit, to another faith, by the same

  179. spirit, to another the gifts of healing, by the

  180. same spirit, to another the walking of miracles,

  181. to another prophecy, to another discerning of

  182. spirit, to another diverse kinds of tongues,

  183. to another the interpretation of tongues, but

  184. all these walking that one and the self same

  185. spirit dividing to every man severally as he

  186. will. Hallelujah. 12, for as the body is one,

  187. I had many members and all the members of that

  188. one body being many are one body, so also is

  189. what? Is Christ. Hallelujah. But our focus this

  190. morning is on verse 8 that says, for to one is

  191. given by the Spirit the word of what? The word

  192. of what? Word of wisdom. Hallelujah. Praise God.

  193. So, what is word of wisdom? What is word of wisdom?

  194. We say word of wisdom, word of wisdom points

  195. to facts. Word of wisdom points to facts in the

  196. future. You remember we had word of knowledge?

  197. We say word of knowledge is a fragment of God's

  198. knowledge, right? Supernatural manifestation

  199. of the gifts of the Holy Ghost from God's knowledge

  200. on the spur of the moment. Hallelujah. So I come

  201. to you. something i don't know about you and

  202. the spirit of god tells me the thing amen right

  203. whether it has to do with your past or it has

  204. to do with your what present hallelujah that

  205. is knowledge amen so but now wisdom what of wisdom

  206. now will now be a fragment of god's wisdom regarding

  207. a matter i'm going to tell us don't worry i'll

  208. tell us the right thing to write right about

  209. the future right that's Nobody knows. So God

  210. is going to speak through me to you or to you

  211. to me, right? In order to meet a need. Hallelujah.

  212. Let me say it now and again. Word of knowledge

  213. will address something in the past, right? And

  214. then something in what? In the present. Hallelujah.

  215. A knowledge. Amen. Word of wisdom will now take

  216. it further and address something what? In the

  217. future. However, there's a dynamic to it. Amen.

  218. It's not only addressing something in the future,

  219. right? But it's bringing an instruction on what

  220. to do. Amen. Are we all here? Are we all here?

  221. Good. So let's write it now properly. It points

  222. to facts in the future. which can come either

  223. as an instruction which can come either as an

  224. instruction or through appearances or prophecies

  225. comes either as an instruction or through appearances

  226. or prophecies to give guidance and direction

  227. on what to do and where to go. As an instruction

  228. or through appearances or prophecies to give

  229. guidance or direction on what to do and where

  230. to what and where to go. Hallelujah. So a word

  231. of knowledge will bring an information regarding

  232. facts in the past or present, whereas a word

  233. of wisdom will give you an instruction, right?

  234. Futuristic now, that brings direction for the

  235. future. Hallelujah. So a word of wisdom brings

  236. direction for the what? For the future. Brings

  237. direction for the future. As we begin to pray.

  238. You hold the hand of the person. As you are praying

  239. and praying and praying. The spirit of God. Opens

  240. you up to this knowledge. About a need in the

  241. person's life. He has not discussed it with you.

  242. Amen. But the spirit of God is not only telling

  243. you about the person's need. As it were in the

  244. present. but he is also telling you on what the

  245. person needs to do futuristic hallelujah so now

  246. the person receives it and they rejoice glory

  247. and leaves the place without even understanding

  248. whether it's true or it's not true after one

  249. week he just calls you he said wait oh tell me

  250. how did you know this in a bag amen hallelujah

  251. you see you're not spiritual it's a beggar me

  252. love you spirit matthew come there's one testimony

  253. you shared of that person you gave a word of

  254. knowledge right yes shade and then after one

  255. week or so right good shade This is how this

  256. teaching will be going henceforth till we end

  257. it. Amen? So be ready. I will call you anytime.

  258. Be what? Be ready. God bless you. Yes. Hallelujah.

  259. Glory to God. Glory to God. And then now, it's

  260. already happening. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah.

  261. Glory to God. On the spur of the what? Of the

  262. moment. No discussion, prior discussion to now.

  263. Hallelujah. Praise God. So now. So hence, we

  264. can say that the word of knowledge, or the word

  265. of wisdom, sorry, discloses facts and events

  266. regarding the future, bringing what? Direction.

  267. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Write this. The word

  268. of wisdom can be conditional or unconditional.

  269. As we keep moving, it will make more sense to

  270. us. So a word of wisdom can be conditional or

  271. what? Unconditional. These are facts only known

  272. to God and the receiver. You that you are speaking

  273. to the person, you don't have an idea about it.

  274. Amen? So God has an idea about it. The receiver

  275. also has an idea what? About it. Praise God.

  276. So it is an uninformed wisdom. There is no any

  277. prior wisdom to this information. It's uninformed.

  278. I did not come and say, Brother, you know. This

  279. is it, this is it, this is it. And then when

  280. we now meet during service, I say, press, press,

  281. press, press. And then they give a word of wisdom

  282. to the person. And then the guy go, you know,

  283. regarding that, this thing, you know, you have

  284. to do this and he will apply his, let's assume

  285. he's studying psychology, you know, he will now

  286. apply his psychological knowledge and say, if

  287. you just do this and do this and do this, the

  288. thing is done. You just look at him. If it's

  289. me, I know me. I'll look at him and just smile.

  290. I say, Baba, nobody see what I tell you yesterday.

  291. But however, do you know you can tell a person

  292. an information about a matter? And then now,

  293. probably you are in a tight condition or you

  294. are in a fix and you don't even know what to

  295. do about it. He already has the information about

  296. it. Amen? And even when you are giving him the

  297. information, there was no solution to it. But

  298. do you know, we can just be praying or you can

  299. just sleep and wake up this morning, one of these

  300. days, and just call him and say, see, this morning

  301. as I was praying, I just got this instruction

  302. on how this thing needs to be done. On the spur

  303. of the moment. However. You have an information

  304. regarding the matter. Where you don't have the

  305. solution. The facts. Regarding how that needs

  306. to be executed. Hallelujah. So this is an uninformed

  307. wisdom. Only known to God. And to who? The receiver.

  308. So the Holy Ghost. Discloses this information.

  309. Right. On the spur of the moment. Through you

  310. to the receiver. Praise God. So there's no prior

  311. contacts before now. So it deals with facts in

  312. the future with relation to the receiver's personal

  313. life and what God will have him or her do. Do

  314. you hear what I said? It deals with the what?

  315. With the facts in the future with relation to

  316. the receiver's personal life and what god will

  317. have him or her do what god will have him or

  318. how what do it is the gift of the spirit that

  319. works in every believer is in every believer

  320. is in every believer is in every one of us So,

  321. what is wisdom? The Greek word for wisdom is

  322. Sophia. S -O -P -H -I -A It's not Sophia in this

  323. church. Praise God. Let me just say a joke. And

  324. if your name is Sophia, please, we want to see

  325. wisdom in your life. Sophia, S -O -P -H -I -A,

  326. which implies or which means intelligence, intelligence,

  327. skill, insight, intelligence, skills, insights.

  328. or interpreting instructions and giving advice

  329. or direction from it sophia which means intelligence

  330. skills insights or interpreting instructions

  331. and giving advice or direction from it are we

  332. all here is that clear sofa Are we all on the

  333. same page, everybody? Perfect. So a word of wisdom

  334. cannot be acquired by learning logic or reasoning.

  335. Word of wisdom cannot be what? Acquired by learning

  336. logic or reasoning. It's a manifestation of the

  337. Spirit. Word of wisdom cannot be acquired by

  338. learning, logic, or reasoning. It is a manifestation

  339. of what? Of the Spirit. Please always act on

  340. the spur of the moment. Now. Now. So when word

  341. of wisdom comes, what does it do? When word of

  342. wisdom comes to us, to the believer, what does

  343. it do it reveals god's strategy for the believer's

  344. life it reveals god's what strategy god's plans

  345. it gives direction on what to do reveals god's

  346. strategy it gives what direction on what to do

  347. It provides solutions to problems. Reveals God's

  348. strategy. Gives direction on what to do. Provides

  349. solution to problems. And what is the purpose?

  350. The purpose of all this, when there is a manifestation

  351. of the word of wisdom, is to guide, give clarity,

  352. reveal God's help, And then his divine solution.

  353. Don't worry, I'm going to repeat it again. Was

  354. the purpose to guide, to give clarity for decisions?

  355. To guide, to give clarity for decisions? To reveal

  356. God's help? And to provide divine solution? to

  357. provide divine solution so now what of wisdom

  358. and all the gifts of the spirit right will require

  359. the participation of the receiver will require

  360. the what the participation of what of the receiver

  361. is important Word of wisdom will require the

  362. participation of what? Of the receiver. If there's

  363. a manifestation of the things of the spirit here,

  364. and then, you know, we said let the brother give

  365. you a word by the spirit, and then the brother

  366. gives you a word by the spirit, and then suddenly

  367. you just ignore it, we say this church, they

  368. are always doing too many things like that. That

  369. is why, in fact, you know, I don't know. Let

  370. me call one name that is not present here. Right?

  371. Sister Paulina, why did you even invite me to

  372. this church? Hope there is no Paulina here. Right?

  373. Why did you invite me to this church? You people

  374. always do this, this, this. You people did it,

  375. did it, did it. That's all. Two weeks later,

  376. something, an event now, you know, unfolds. You

  377. say, but you know that pastor. The brother is

  378. not a pastor, but nowadays a manifestation he

  379. has become. You know that pastor that held my

  380. hand? You know he said the same thing. How I

  381. wish I heard him. Your participation is important.

  382. When it comes to the things of the Spirit. In

  383. fact, modify that statement this way. The participation

  384. of the giver and the receiver is important when

  385. it comes to the things of the Spirit. The participation

  386. of the giver and the receiver is important when

  387. it comes to the manifestation of the things of

  388. the Spirit. So because the guide, the clarity

  389. for the decisions, the next steps for you on

  390. what to do, the solutions and all that he's giving

  391. is not spirits that are going to follow it. You

  392. are the one that will follow it. Hallelujah.

  393. You are the one that will do the obedience. You

  394. are the one that will receive it with joy and

  395. rejoice and say, I'm going to act on this. Are

  396. we all here? Have we gotten a full definition

  397. of what a wisdom is? A wisdom is not. So that

  398. when we say, please hold the hands of the person

  399. and then give him a word, and then the person

  400. begins to tell you some certain things, you know

  401. that this is not the what the operation or the

  402. expression of the word of wisdom the word of

  403. wisdom is not natural wisdom the word of wisdom

  404. is not natural wisdom sense wisdom or intellectual

  405. wisdom the word of wisdom is not natural wisdom

  406. sense wisdom or intellectual what wisdom you

  407. remember you wrote somewhere i said it's not

  408. acquired by what learning logic or what or reasoning

  409. hallelujah yeah so the word of wisdom is not

  410. what is not natural wisdom sense wisdom or what

  411. or intellectual wisdom Because it's a spiritual

  412. gift and it's not a natural gift. So if the word

  413. of wisdom is a natural gift, then all other gifts

  414. are also what? Are also natural. And the implication

  415. of that is that you don't need the Holy Ghost

  416. to have the gifts. Just be a human being. Praise

  417. God. Or just go to school. Or just get a skill.

  418. And you will have the wisdom. Praise God. So

  419. but it's not natural. It's spiritual. It's giving

  420. or we see the manifestation as a result of the

  421. indwelling of the Holy Ghost in the believer.

  422. So it's not sense. It's not intellectual. It's

  423. not logical. Somebody is giving you an information

  424. from the mind of God that is not logical to you.

  425. But we know it's logical with the Spirit of God.

  426. Hallelujah. He is not part of your family. He

  427. does not know your father. He has never met your

  428. mom. She has never met your elder sister. But

  429. by the spirit of God, he or she is speaking to

  430. you about a pressing need in your family. I know

  431. one of the, I think the first charlatanism that

  432. we had, we had somebody, yes, let me try and

  433. remember well, you know, we got out in the cycles,

  434. we always got out and pray and pray and pray.

  435. and then somebody gave a word regarding someone's

  436. sister right that has to do with something that

  437. has to do with mental and some things like that

  438. you know the lady just started crying because

  439. that information is a private information that

  440. we are not aware of it praise god but you know

  441. that information didn't only come but prayers

  442. came and help showed up hallelujah So let me

  443. say this now as it's coming to my heart. There

  444. are certain things that when it's received here

  445. and told to you, right? We're going to put a

  446. balance to it. Even though it's private to your

  447. family, but it's not to disgrace you or make

  448. it public. Hallelujah. But rather, there's a

  449. wisdom from God that is coming to preserve that

  450. thing and also tell you that help has come to

  451. you. Praise God. Hallelujah. Perfect. James chapter

    James 3 chapter mention

  452. 3. Let's look at scriptures now. It's not natural

    James 3 chapter mention

  455. be reading a couple of scriptures on all the

  456. points I'll be saying and then we'll be moving.

  457. So by yourself, with all that we have defined

  458. now, you can be able to point out From verse

  459. 16 everybody. Let's go. James chapter 3 from

    James 3 chapter mention

  460. verse 16. So far so good. We know what word of

  461. wisdom is right? Do we know what word of wisdom

  462. is? Do we know what it is not? Now the first

  463. point. What it is not right? It's not what? Natural

  464. wisdom. Sense knowledge. Sense wisdom. Intellectual

  465. wisdom. See verse 16 now. For where envy and

  466. strife is. There is what? Confusion. Sorry from

  467. 15. This wisdom descended not from what? Oh,

  468. let's go prior. Up there. 13 now. Go to 13. Who

  469. is a wise man and endued with what? Knowledge

  470. among you. Let him show out of what? Good conversation.

  471. His works with meekness of what? Of wisdom. 14.

  472. But if you have bitter envy and strife in your

  473. heart, glory not. and lie not against what the

  474. truth 15 everybody let's read it now this what

  475. wisdom does what descended not from where above

  476. but is earthly is sensual sense and what devilish

  477. for where envying and strife is there is confusion

  478. and every what evil work so when we see a manifestation

  479. of the wisdom of the Spirit, and what is created

  480. suddenly in the receiver is confusion. It's creating

  481. strife on the spot. It's creating envying on

  482. the spot. We know that it's not the Spirit of

  483. God at what? At manifestation, at work. Are we

  484. all here? Are we all here, everybody? One. 1

  485. Corinthians 1. Verse 20. 1 Corinthians 1 verse

  486. what? Verse 20. Where is the wise? Where is the

  487. scribe? Where is the disputer of this what? Of

  488. this world? He's talking about the wisdom of

  489. God and the wisdom of men. Amen? Had not God

  490. made foolish the wisdom of what? The wisdom of

  491. this world. Not the wisdom of God. For after

  492. that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom

  493. knew not what? So, we see a comparison regarding

  494. the wisdom of God and the wisdom of where? Of

  495. this world. See brethren. In this world there

  496. is wisdom. Ah. There is what? There is wisdom.

  497. You cannot exhaust it. There is wisdom in this

  498. what? In this world. That is not. Word of wisdom.

  499. A manifestation. And the workings of the spirit

  500. of God. Amen. Hallelujah. 319. 1 Corinthians

  501. 319. For the wisdom of this world is what? Foolishness

  502. with God, for it is written, he taketh the wise

  503. in their own what? Captiveness. Remember I said

  504. the word of wisdom is not acquired by what? Logic,

  505. learning or what? Or reasoning. The wisdom of

  506. the world has its own ways how it is acquired.

  507. Praise God. Oh. The Lord of wisdom only has one

  508. way that it is acquired by the Spirit of God.

  509. There are not 10 ways. There are not 50 ways.

  510. Only one way and it's the only way that you have

  511. the Holy Ghost indwelling you. Ten ways to be

  512. a self -made billionaire. Eat the frog and cook

  513. it. Take the bull by the horn. So the world will

  514. give you series of literatures so that you can

  515. navigate your way. If you go to my helper university,

  516. they will say, no, no, their wisdom is low. Go

  517. to Harvard Business School. You have a higher

  518. IQ. Can't you see those guys, they don't think

  519. like, then the person will say like us, that

  520. we are here. Say glory to God. Glory to God.

  521. Say glory to God. I have the spirit of God. Dwelling

  522. in me. Hallelujah. Colossians 2 .8. The wisdom

  523. of the world is not the word of wisdom. The word

  524. of wisdom will not create strife and envy. No.

  525. Colossians 2 .8. Say beware. Lest any man spoil

  526. you through what? Through what? Through what?

  527. Philosophy and what? Vain deceit. After the tradition

  528. of what? Of men. After the rudiments of what?

  529. Of this world and not after what? After Christ.

  530. See, in this world there is method to There is

  531. method. Forget it. There is what? There is methods.

  532. Oh, there are methods. If you come to medicine,

  533. there are methods. You move to nursing, there

  534. are methods. You go to biomedical engineering,

  535. there are methods. You go to English language,

  536. there are methods. You go back to your village,

  537. there are what? methods let me say so that we

  538. can laugh don't worry when you come to marry

  539. you know there are methods you understand what

  540. tradition of men is you know my in -laws raised

  541. leg and then they showed me love with an outstretched

  542. arm and then people in my village came up and

  543. say ah but if you follow tradition too and so

  544. what are they bringing to us i said what are

  545. they bringing to you i don't understand they're

  546. not bringing anything he said normally you know

  547. we two are supposed to write our list and send

  548. to who help you to build capacity to a place

  549. where when they will speak these things they

  550. will not speak to you directly you don't say

  551. man ah let me say so that the revelation will

  552. come god will help you to build capacity so that

  553. when they will speak these things they will not

  554. speak to you they didn't speak to me directly

  555. i over had it there's a level where you will

  556. be they will speak to you directly And they will

  557. force you. And you must do it. You will cry your

  558. life. You see what? Do it. You kept the sister

  559. for 10 years. You must marry her. That's by the

  560. way. But I said all these things to tell you

  561. that tradition of men is not word of wisdom.

  562. It's not. Because you see, all this mentioned

  563. in that verse. The scriptures say it's not after

  564. Christ. Hallelujah. It is not what? After Christ.

  565. The philosophy of men, not after what? Christ.

  566. Perfect. Add one more now. I think we've gotten

  567. enough references here. Ecclesiastes chapter

    Ecclesiastes 1:16–17

  568. 1 verse 16 to 17. Are we being blessed so far?

  569. Good. Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse 16 to 17.

    Ecclesiastes 1:16–17

  570. I commune with my own heart saying, Lord, I am

  571. come to great estate and I have gotten more wisdom

  572. than all day that have been before me in what?

  573. Jerusalem. Yea, my heart had great experience

  574. of wisdom and what? Knowledge. Next verse. And

  575. I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know what?

  576. Madness and what? Folly. i perceive that this

  577. also is a vexation of what this is not word of

  578. wisdom hallelujah this is an acquired knowledge

  579. by experience it's not oh boy what of wisdom

  580. will not create vexation inside you after you

  581. have received something will just shift inside

  582. you there'll be a steering You will know this

  583. is God at work now. Next now. The word of wisdom

  584. is not a profound wisdom of the Bible. We'll

  585. put a balance to it. The word of wisdom is not

  586. what? That's the second one now. What the word

  587. of wisdom is not. The word of wisdom is not what?

  588. It's not a profound wisdom of the Bible. So it

  589. is certainly true that God will help us understand

  590. his word. We have the written word. We have teachers

  591. that he has given us. Amen. And they are teaching

  592. us his word. And the believer ought to give himself

  593. to have knowledge of God's word. When I say knowledge

  594. of God's word, I mean the written word. In fact,

  595. let me say this as it's coming to my heart. Put

  596. a premium priority to have the knowledge of God's

  597. word. Put a premium priority to have the knowledge

  598. of God's word. Let God's word dwell in you so

  599. what? Richly in all wisdom. Have God's word rooted

  600. in your heart richly. Not sparingly. There's

  601. a reason for that. And we're going to put a balance

  602. now to it. Amen? So, the wisdom from God's word,

  603. the written word, is not a supernatural gift.

  604. The wisdom from God's word, the written word,

  605. is not a what? It's not a supernatural gift.

  606. The wisdom from God's word, the written word,

  607. is not a what? It's not a supernatural gift.

  608. Reading the Bible daily, understanding its content,

  609. sitting down under a teaching, and your thoughts,

  610. God's word, is not word of wisdom. Are we all

  611. here? Then let's write this now. But we must

  612. know that the written word must always validate

  613. the word of wisdom. Praise God. But we must know

  614. that the written word must always what? Validate

  615. the word of wisdom. So, in this atmosphere, when

  616. somebody is giving you a word of wisdom, How

  617. can we be able to judge it? First, we will judge

  618. that speaking through what? Through the what?

  619. The written word. Amen? So the written word must

  620. always validate what? The word of wisdom. That

  621. is, we must judge what we are receiving through

  622. the written word. So what are we saying in essence?

  623. That the word of wisdom must work in connection

  624. with the written word. That's what we are saying

  625. in essence. The word of wisdom must work in connection

  626. with what? I said something during Karatismos

  627. when we were talking about tongues and interpretation

  628. of tongues. One of the leaders, the presidents

  629. that we had, came up. We know that. I know that

  630. he's not speaking by the Spirit of God. He said,

  631. all of you, you just gather in the devotion hall.

  632. That cannot be the spirit of God First the spirit

  633. of God Is residing in our inside. Hallelujah.

  634. Secondly. We are taught and trained. We have

  635. knowledge of what tongues and interpretation

  636. is to the believer. Thirdly. We are giving expression.

  637. To prayers in the Holy Ghost. Amen. So there

  638. is no how. We can be saying when we go out. We

  639. should go and have what? Accident. Not possible.

  640. Then now when we carry that. And judge it with

  641. God's word. we will never see anywhere where

  642. the apostles prayed in the holy ghost and then

  643. the next thing is accident or the manifestation

  644. or the interpretation of it is that what is accident

  645. no so word of wisdom works in connection with

  646. what with the written word hallelujah hallelujah

  647. let me say it again for emphasis the word of

  648. wisdom in operation is not higher than the written

  649. words do you hear what i said the word of wisdom

  650. in operation is not what is not higher if they

  651. say the way you classify it than what than the

  652. written words you say you know as i just held

  653. your hands oh you know this is what the spirit

  654. of god forget about the bible now forget hear

  655. me hear me forget about the bible you are a liar

  656. we can't forget about the bible what i say to

  657. you you may not find it in the written word because

  658. it's coming from the portals from the vistas

  659. of heaven you know there are certain things that

  660. have not yet been documented in the bible and

  661. we are setting the mind of God and we are bringing

  662. it and somebody will say you go from genesis

  663. 1 1 to revelation you can't see what i'm saying

  664. because this inspiration is by the spirit of

  665. god oh you see what i'm saying will give empathy

  666. to the written forget just close your ears if

  667. i were you i'll just touch my friends at least

  668. now glory to god i have a wife i'll tell her

  669. let's go Listen, let me say this now to some

  670. people now. It just came to my heart. As you

  671. scroll your Instagram, as you scroll your Facebook,

  672. listen to me now. There are some things, don't

  673. watch them. Don't even waste a second. Once you

  674. hear, my wife knows she's here. As I just hear,

  675. she says, she'll tell you. I don't even wait.

  676. Once you just say, you just say one rubbish,

  677. I just do like this. let's read the comments

  678. and say no we should not even read the comments

  679. follow after the things oh thank you holy spirit

  680. follow after the things that keep your fire burning

  681. Follow after the things. Listen to things. Follow

  682. after the things that stirs you up. Follow after

  683. the things that keeps you on fire. Follow after

  684. the things. I'm not saying scrolling is sin.

  685. No. But it's just that those things have been

  686. sworn as seeds in your heart. So, God will not

  687. violate the written word because he is speaking

  688. through you by his spirit. You hear what I just

  689. said now? God will not violate his what? His

  690. written word because he is speaking through you

  691. by his what? By his spirit. He will not violate

  692. the written word. Praise God. Psalms 119 verse

    Psalms 119:98–100

  693. 98 to 100. Psalms 119. Psalms 119. Are we all

  694. there? 98 to 100. See what the scripture says

  695. there. 98. Thou through my commandment has made

  696. me wiser. Oh, sorry. Thou through thy what? Thy

  697. commandment has made me what? Wiser than my what?

  698. for they are ever what? With me. He's talking

  699. about the written word now. Right? See what he

  700. say? I have more understanding than all my teachers

  701. for thy testimonies and my what? Meditation.

  702. This is no word of wisdom. Hallelujah. This is

  703. no what? Word of wisdom. I understand more than

  704. the ancient because I keep thy what? Presence.

  705. It's not word of wisdom. Praise God. Proverbs

    Proverbs 2:6

  706. 2 verse 6. Proverbs 2 verse 6. For the Lord giveth

    Proverbs 2:6

  707. wisdom out of his mouth cometh knowledge and

  708. what? Understanding. This is not word of wisdom.

  709. Amen. Deuteronomy chapter 4, 5 to 6. Deuteronomy

    Deuteronomy 4 chapter mention Deuteronomy 4 chapter mention

  710. chapter 4, 5 to 6. All the scriptures we are

  711. reading, please pay attention to the points above.

  712. That is not a profound wisdom of what? Of the

  713. Bible. 4, 5 to 6. Behold, I have taught you statutes

  714. and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded

  715. me, that ye shall do in the land whither ye go

  716. to possess it. Keep therefore and do what? And

  717. do them, for this is your what? This is your

  718. what? Wisdom that you keep and do them is your

  719. what? It's your wisdom and your understanding

  720. in the sight of the nations which shall hear

  721. all these statues and say, surely this great

  722. nation is a wise and what? Understanding people.

  723. It's not word of wisdom. Praise God. Hallelujah.

  724. Hallelujah. 2 Timothy 3 .15. 2 Timothy 3 .15.

  725. And that from a child, thou hast known the word.

  726. Thou hast known the word. Which are able to make

  727. thee wise unto what? Through faith which is way

  728. in Christ Jesus. It's not word of wisdom. So

  729. having a profound knowledge and wisdom of the

  730. written word is not word of what? It's not word

  731. of wisdom. Next one. The word of wisdom is not

  732. wisdom from God through experience. The word

  733. of wisdom is not wisdom from God through experience.

  734. You're 30. You're 40. You're 50. You're 60. You're

  735. 70. You're a professor. You're a consultant.

  736. You have some form of level of experience by

  737. the standard of men. It's not word of wisdom.

  738. Hallelujah. You know, I wrote here, I said, another

  739. mistaken idea about the gift of the word of wisdom

  740. is that the word of wisdom. Okay, sorry. Another

  741. mistaken idea is that about the word of wisdom.

  742. is that the word of wisdom comes by working closely

  743. with God. And what I mean by working closely

  744. now, by having years of experience. So some people

  745. feel, oh you know, I've been in this ministry

  746. for 35 years. So I can be able to tell you how

  747. to navigate your way in the work of ministry.

  748. That is not word of wisdom. You just want to

  749. share with me an experience. hallelujah how 35

  750. years right this and this and this and this and

  751. this and this happened to you that is not what

  752. what of what what of wisdom hallelujah so the

  753. believer does gain a real wisdom of god by working

  754. with him the believer has and will gain wisdom

  755. by working with what With God in fellowship.

  756. You will have wisdom. We just read a couple of

  757. scriptures. Amen. You will have what? Wisdom.

  758. You will gain a real wisdom of God by working

  759. with him daily and through his word. But that

  760. is different from supernatural manifestation

  761. of what? Of the word of wisdom. About certain

  762. facts in the mind of God. Hallelujah. Let's write

  763. Exodus 33 11. Exodus 33 11. Exodus 33 11 to 12.

  764. Are we all there? Exodus 33 11. And the Lord

  765. spake unto Moses face to face as a man spake

  766. unto his friend, and he turned again into the

  767. camp. But his servant Joshua, the son of Nun,

  768. a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

  769. And Moses said unto the Lord, See thou sayest

  770. unto me, Bring up these people, and thou hast

  771. not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.

  772. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by what? I know

  773. thee by what? By name. And thou hast also found

  774. grace what? 11. And the Lord spoke unto Moses,

  775. face what? To face to face. Verse 12 now is ending

  776. and the Lord is saying, I know. I know what?

  777. I know thee, Moses. I know you. Right? Perfect

  778. now. So, let's read Psalms 103 verse 7 now. It's

    Psalms 103:7

  779. tied to this place. Psalms 103. Psalms 103 verse

    Psalms 103:7

  780. 7. See what the scripture says there. Psalms

    Psalms 103:7

  781. 103 verse 7. He said, he made known his what?

  782. His ways unto what? His acts unto what? The children

  783. of what? So you having a knowledge of how God

  784. does his things is not word of wisdom. The wisdom

  785. and the knowledge you get as a result of fellowship,

  786. daily working with God, knowing God and having

  787. this solid relationship with Jesus is not what?

  788. Word of wisdom. That experience is not word of

  789. what? Word of wisdom. However, I will put a balance

  790. to it. However, that experience will be the platform

  791. on which the practice of the manifestation of

  792. the word of wisdom will be normal for you do

  793. you hear what i said the experience and the fellowship

  794. and the relationship is not word of wisdom but

  795. the platform for that fellowship and experience

  796. right will be that place where you can easily

  797. practice what all the manifestation of the gifts

  798. of the holy ghost so what i'm saying in essence

  799. is because there is a consistent fellowship right

  800. You are always on fire. You are always fervent.

  801. It's easier to see daily the manifestation of

  802. the things of the spirit. Hallelujah. So write

  803. this now, everybody. Write this now. Write these

  804. scriptures. And when we come on Wednesday, we'll

  805. be able to now build on that. Job chapter 42

    Job 42:5

  806. verse 5. Job chapter 42 verse 5. Genesis 18.

    Job 42:5

  807. Genesis 18, 19, Job 42, verse 5. Have you written

    Job 42:5

  808. that? Then write this subtopic. The word of wisdom

  809. is not wisdom in the affairs of life. There's

  810. a reason why we are going to what the word of

  811. wisdom is not. The word of wisdom is not wisdom

  812. in the affairs of life. So after we do this,

  813. we'll do how the word of knowledge and the word

  814. of wisdom and the prophetic work together. Amen?

  815. And then from there, we'll now see word of wisdom

  816. in the Old Testament, word of wisdom in the what?

  817. In the New Testament. Can we rise to our feet,

  818. everybody? Thank you for listening to our sermon
