0:08
path. We're our devoted pastors and special guests
0:11
delving into the depths of the Bible, exploring
0:14
its profound lessons and useful applications
0:16
for your daily life. I came with some kind of
0:19
symptom, you know, and then out of the meeting,
0:22
you know, as I was speaking, I said that I know
0:25
because what I'm speaking that the person has
0:28
been healed. After the service, a couple of people
0:32
met me. They said they came here with this kind
0:34
of symptom and order and they were healed. Can
0:41

Hallelujah. That will meet a need now. Don't
1:10

1:17
if it's your wife that you're holding her hand,
1:19
the Spirit of God will give you something about
1:21
her that is meeting a need that she has not told
1:24
you yesterday night. Hallelujah. If it's your
1:28
husband, Just press some more. The spirit of
1:31
God will tell you something that he has not told

11:05
you. He has paid a price for you. But there are
11:10
certain things you will not be able to receive
11:11
as pertaining your life here on the earth. So
11:20
the consciousness and that daily being aware
11:26
that I have the Holy Ghost in me and all the
11:30
gifts of the Holy Ghost in me. And I need to
11:34
fan them into flame. It's important. Hallelujah.
11:40
I need to fan them into what? Into flame. It's
11:44
what? It's important. Say, I have the responsibility.
11:50
Say, I have the responsibility to stay up the
11:53
gifts of the Holy Ghost that is within me. Hallelujah.
11:57
It's your responsibility. Amen. You see, you
12:04
will never see when Jesus was healing blind bat
12:07
mouths, was there lightning and thunder? Was
12:11
there any drama anyway? No. Hallelujah. When
12:17
he was stopping the storm, was there any drama?
12:20
Did angels appear? Light shone everywhere? And
12:23
then the apostles and the disciples say, wow,
12:26
see the mirapolos. It was just normal. Praise
12:31
God. So the things of the spirit should be normal
12:35
to you. Don't wait for any kind of spectacular
12:38
thing. Lightning, thunders, things happening.
12:42
And then, let me say it now so that we can relate.
12:45
Somebody rolling here. I said, Jesus is here.
12:48
Jesus is here. If the person is shouting like
12:52
this, it's demon. Who cast that demon? The spirit
12:59
of God is not that violent before he speaks.
13:05
Amen? You see, when the Spirit comes upon me,
13:07
I tear my body. Before he speaks, I tear my body.
13:11
Ah! That's legional. That's not the Holy Ghost.
13:18
As we are seated like this, hallelujah. As you
13:21
are just seated here, the Spirit of God can give
13:23
you word for everybody in this place. No drama
13:26
attached to it. Praise God. Miracles, signs,
13:35
and wonders don't need to come with drama before
13:41
they are received. Hallelujah. Amen. Do you hear
13:47
what I said? Miracles, signs, and wonders don't
13:49
need to come with what? With drama before they
13:52
are what? Received. Praise God. Word of wisdom.
14:00

14:59
Hallelujah. Say, I do greater works. And I do
15:04
them daily. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. Everybody,
15:08
let's go. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. Say, for
15:23
to one is given by the Spirit the word of what?
15:26
The word of wisdom. Are you seeing? To one is
15:29
given by the Spirit the what? the word of wisdom,
15:33
to another the word of knowledge by what? By
15:36
the same spirit, to another faith, by the same
15:40
spirit, to another the gifts of healing, by the
15:42
same spirit, to another the walking of miracles,
15:44
to another prophecy, to another discerning of
15:47
spirit, to another diverse kinds of tongues,
15:49
to another the interpretation of tongues, but
15:52
all these walking that one and the self same
15:55
spirit dividing to every man severally as he
15:58
will. Hallelujah. 12, for as the body is one,
16:01
I had many members and all the members of that
16:04
one body being many are one body, so also is
16:08
what? Is Christ. Hallelujah. But our focus this
16:12
morning is on verse 8 that says, for to one is
16:15
given by the Spirit the word of what? The word
16:20
of what? Word of wisdom. Hallelujah. Praise God.
16:26
So, what is word of wisdom? What is word of wisdom?
16:32
We say word of wisdom, word of wisdom points
16:37
to facts. Word of wisdom points to facts in the
16:43
future. You remember we had word of knowledge?
16:46
We say word of knowledge is a fragment of God's
16:49
knowledge, right? Supernatural manifestation
16:52
of the gifts of the Holy Ghost from God's knowledge
16:55
on the spur of the moment. Hallelujah. So I come
16:58
to you. something i don't know about you and
17:02
the spirit of god tells me the thing amen right
17:05
whether it has to do with your past or it has
17:08
to do with your what present hallelujah that
17:12
is knowledge amen so but now wisdom what of wisdom
17:16
now will now be a fragment of god's wisdom regarding
17:21
a matter i'm going to tell us don't worry i'll
17:24
tell us the right thing to write right about
17:26
the future right that's Nobody knows. So God
17:31
is going to speak through me to you or to you
17:34
to me, right? In order to meet a need. Hallelujah.
17:40
Let me say it now and again. Word of knowledge
17:45
will address something in the past, right? And
17:50
then something in what? In the present. Hallelujah.
17:54
A knowledge. Amen. Word of wisdom will now take
18:00
it further and address something what? In the
18:04
future. However, there's a dynamic to it. Amen.
18:08
It's not only addressing something in the future,
18:10
right? But it's bringing an instruction on what
18:13
to do. Amen. Are we all here? Are we all here?
18:21
Good. So let's write it now properly. It points
18:24
to facts in the future. which can come either
18:27
as an instruction which can come either as an
18:32
instruction or through appearances or prophecies
18:41
comes either as an instruction or through appearances
18:50
or prophecies to give guidance and direction
18:56
on what to do and where to go. As an instruction
19:05
or through appearances or prophecies to give
19:09
guidance or direction on what to do and where
19:15
to what and where to go. Hallelujah. So a word
19:25
of knowledge will bring an information regarding
19:29
facts in the past or present, whereas a word
19:32
of wisdom will give you an instruction, right?
19:35
Futuristic now, that brings direction for the
19:38
future. Hallelujah. So a word of wisdom brings
19:41
direction for the what? For the future. Brings
19:46
direction for the future. As we begin to pray.
19:54
You hold the hand of the person. As you are praying
20:01
and praying and praying. The spirit of God. Opens
20:06
you up to this knowledge. About a need in the
20:09
person's life. He has not discussed it with you.
20:12
Amen. But the spirit of God is not only telling
20:15
you about the person's need. As it were in the
20:17
present. but he is also telling you on what the
20:20
person needs to do futuristic hallelujah so now
20:27
the person receives it and they rejoice glory
20:32
and leaves the place without even understanding
20:37
whether it's true or it's not true after one
20:42
week he just calls you he said wait oh tell me
20:46
how did you know this in a bag amen hallelujah
20:50
you see you're not spiritual it's a beggar me
20:58
love you spirit matthew come there's one testimony
21:08
you shared of that person you gave a word of
21:10
knowledge right yes shade and then after one
21:14
week or so right good shade This is how this
21:20
teaching will be going henceforth till we end
21:23
it. Amen? So be ready. I will call you anytime.
21:26
Be what? Be ready. God bless you. Yes. Hallelujah.
22:14
Glory to God. Glory to God. And then now, it's
22:31
already happening. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah.
22:36
Glory to God. On the spur of the what? Of the
22:42
moment. No discussion, prior discussion to now.
22:47
Hallelujah. Praise God. So now. So hence, we
22:55
can say that the word of knowledge, or the word
22:57
of wisdom, sorry, discloses facts and events
23:00
regarding the future, bringing what? Direction.
23:03
Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Write this. The word
23:10
of wisdom can be conditional or unconditional.
23:16
As we keep moving, it will make more sense to
23:19
us. So a word of wisdom can be conditional or
23:27
what? Unconditional. These are facts only known
23:31
to God and the receiver. You that you are speaking
23:36
to the person, you don't have an idea about it.
23:38
Amen? So God has an idea about it. The receiver
23:42
also has an idea what? About it. Praise God.
23:49
So it is an uninformed wisdom. There is no any
23:53
prior wisdom to this information. It's uninformed.
23:56
I did not come and say, Brother, you know. This
24:03
is it, this is it, this is it. And then when
24:04
we now meet during service, I say, press, press,
24:07
press, press. And then they give a word of wisdom
24:09
to the person. And then the guy go, you know,
24:13
regarding that, this thing, you know, you have
24:17
to do this and he will apply his, let's assume
24:22
he's studying psychology, you know, he will now
24:25
apply his psychological knowledge and say, if
24:28
you just do this and do this and do this, the
24:31
thing is done. You just look at him. If it's
24:36
me, I know me. I'll look at him and just smile.
24:41
I say, Baba, nobody see what I tell you yesterday.
24:48
But however, do you know you can tell a person
24:51
an information about a matter? And then now,
25:00
probably you are in a tight condition or you
25:02
are in a fix and you don't even know what to
25:04
do about it. He already has the information about
25:06
it. Amen? And even when you are giving him the
25:09
information, there was no solution to it. But
25:13
do you know, we can just be praying or you can
25:15
just sleep and wake up this morning, one of these
25:18
days, and just call him and say, see, this morning
25:21
as I was praying, I just got this instruction
25:24
on how this thing needs to be done. On the spur
25:29
of the moment. However. You have an information
25:32
regarding the matter. Where you don't have the
25:35
solution. The facts. Regarding how that needs
25:37
to be executed. Hallelujah. So this is an uninformed
25:42
wisdom. Only known to God. And to who? The receiver.
25:48
So the Holy Ghost. Discloses this information.
25:53
Right. On the spur of the moment. Through you
25:56
to the receiver. Praise God. So there's no prior
26:00
contacts before now. So it deals with facts in
26:07
the future with relation to the receiver's personal
26:10
life and what God will have him or her do. Do
26:17
you hear what I said? It deals with the what?
26:20
With the facts in the future with relation to
26:23
the receiver's personal life and what god will
26:27
have him or her do what god will have him or
26:34
how what do it is the gift of the spirit that
26:39
works in every believer is in every believer
26:43
is in every believer is in every one of us So,
26:56
what is wisdom? The Greek word for wisdom is
26:58
Sophia. S -O -P -H -I -A It's not Sophia in this
27:11
church. Praise God. Let me just say a joke. And
27:19
if your name is Sophia, please, we want to see
27:22
wisdom in your life. Sophia, S -O -P -H -I -A,
27:36
which implies or which means intelligence, intelligence,
27:42
skill, insight, intelligence, skills, insights.
27:54
or interpreting instructions and giving advice
27:59
or direction from it sophia which means intelligence
28:04
skills insights or interpreting instructions
28:08
and giving advice or direction from it are we
28:21
all here is that clear sofa Are we all on the
28:25
same page, everybody? Perfect. So a word of wisdom
28:33
cannot be acquired by learning logic or reasoning.
28:38
Word of wisdom cannot be what? Acquired by learning
28:43
logic or reasoning. It's a manifestation of the
28:51
Spirit. Word of wisdom cannot be acquired by
28:55
learning, logic, or reasoning. It is a manifestation
29:00
of what? Of the Spirit. Please always act on
29:04
the spur of the moment. Now. Now. So when word
29:14
of wisdom comes, what does it do? When word of
29:18
wisdom comes to us, to the believer, what does
29:21
it do it reveals god's strategy for the believer's
29:23
life it reveals god's what strategy god's plans
29:32
it gives direction on what to do reveals god's
29:42
strategy it gives what direction on what to do
29:47
It provides solutions to problems. Reveals God's
29:54
strategy. Gives direction on what to do. Provides
29:58
solution to problems. And what is the purpose?
30:06
The purpose of all this, when there is a manifestation
30:09
of the word of wisdom, is to guide, give clarity,
30:13
reveal God's help, And then his divine solution.
30:19
Don't worry, I'm going to repeat it again. Was
30:22
the purpose to guide, to give clarity for decisions?
30:28
To guide, to give clarity for decisions? To reveal
30:34
God's help? And to provide divine solution? to
30:50
provide divine solution so now what of wisdom
30:56
and all the gifts of the spirit right will require
31:02
the participation of the receiver will require
31:08
the what the participation of what of the receiver
31:13
is important Word of wisdom will require the
31:21
participation of what? Of the receiver. If there's
31:30
a manifestation of the things of the spirit here,
31:32
and then, you know, we said let the brother give
31:36
you a word by the spirit, and then the brother
31:38
gives you a word by the spirit, and then suddenly
31:40
you just ignore it, we say this church, they
31:43
are always doing too many things like that. That
31:45
is why, in fact, you know, I don't know. Let
31:49
me call one name that is not present here. Right?
31:54
Sister Paulina, why did you even invite me to
31:57
this church? Hope there is no Paulina here. Right?
32:02
Why did you invite me to this church? You people
32:06
always do this, this, this. You people did it,
32:08
did it, did it. That's all. Two weeks later,
32:10
something, an event now, you know, unfolds. You
32:14
say, but you know that pastor. The brother is
32:17
not a pastor, but nowadays a manifestation he
32:20
has become. You know that pastor that held my
32:23
hand? You know he said the same thing. How I
32:28
wish I heard him. Your participation is important.
32:38
When it comes to the things of the Spirit. In
32:41
fact, modify that statement this way. The participation
32:43
of the giver and the receiver is important when
32:47
it comes to the things of the Spirit. The participation
32:52
of the giver and the receiver is important when
32:58
it comes to the manifestation of the things of
33:01
the Spirit. So because the guide, the clarity
33:11
for the decisions, the next steps for you on
33:14
what to do, the solutions and all that he's giving
33:17
is not spirits that are going to follow it. You
33:20
are the one that will follow it. Hallelujah.
33:25
You are the one that will do the obedience. You
33:29
are the one that will receive it with joy and
33:31
rejoice and say, I'm going to act on this. Are
33:38
we all here? Have we gotten a full definition
33:41
of what a wisdom is? A wisdom is not. So that
34:01
when we say, please hold the hands of the person
34:04
and then give him a word, and then the person
34:06
begins to tell you some certain things, you know
34:08
that this is not the what the operation or the
34:13
expression of the word of wisdom the word of
34:17
wisdom is not natural wisdom the word of wisdom
34:23
is not natural wisdom sense wisdom or intellectual
34:28
wisdom the word of wisdom is not natural wisdom
34:34
sense wisdom or intellectual what wisdom you
34:41
remember you wrote somewhere i said it's not
34:43
acquired by what learning logic or what or reasoning
34:47
hallelujah yeah so the word of wisdom is not
34:51
what is not natural wisdom sense wisdom or what
34:55
or intellectual wisdom Because it's a spiritual
35:02
gift and it's not a natural gift. So if the word
35:05
of wisdom is a natural gift, then all other gifts
35:08
are also what? Are also natural. And the implication
35:11
of that is that you don't need the Holy Ghost
35:14
to have the gifts. Just be a human being. Praise
35:20
God. Or just go to school. Or just get a skill.
35:25
And you will have the wisdom. Praise God. So
35:29
but it's not natural. It's spiritual. It's giving
35:33
or we see the manifestation as a result of the
35:35
indwelling of the Holy Ghost in the believer.
35:39
So it's not sense. It's not intellectual. It's
35:43
not logical. Somebody is giving you an information
35:47
from the mind of God that is not logical to you.
35:52
But we know it's logical with the Spirit of God.
35:56
Hallelujah. He is not part of your family. He
36:00
does not know your father. He has never met your
36:03
mom. She has never met your elder sister. But
36:08
by the spirit of God, he or she is speaking to
36:12
you about a pressing need in your family. I know
36:20
one of the, I think the first charlatanism that
36:21
we had, we had somebody, yes, let me try and
36:25
remember well, you know, we got out in the cycles,
36:27
we always got out and pray and pray and pray.
36:29
and then somebody gave a word regarding someone's
36:32
sister right that has to do with something that
36:35
has to do with mental and some things like that
36:37
you know the lady just started crying because
36:41
that information is a private information that
36:44
we are not aware of it praise god but you know
36:51
that information didn't only come but prayers
36:54
came and help showed up hallelujah So let me
37:02
say this now as it's coming to my heart. There
37:04
are certain things that when it's received here
37:06
and told to you, right? We're going to put a
37:10
balance to it. Even though it's private to your
37:14
family, but it's not to disgrace you or make
37:19
it public. Hallelujah. But rather, there's a
37:22
wisdom from God that is coming to preserve that
37:25
thing and also tell you that help has come to
37:29
you. Praise God. Hallelujah. Perfect. James chapter
37:38
3. Let's look at scriptures now. It's not natural
37:41
wisdom or sense wisdom or what? Or intellectual
37:46
what? Wisdom. James chapter 3. We're going to
37:49
be reading a couple of scriptures on all the
37:51
points I'll be saying and then we'll be moving.
37:53
So by yourself, with all that we have defined
37:56
now, you can be able to point out From verse
38:02
16 everybody. Let's go. James chapter 3 from
38:04
verse 16. So far so good. We know what word of
38:07
wisdom is right? Do we know what word of wisdom
38:10
is? Do we know what it is not? Now the first
38:13
point. What it is not right? It's not what? Natural
38:17
wisdom. Sense knowledge. Sense wisdom. Intellectual
38:21
wisdom. See verse 16 now. For where envy and
38:25
strife is. There is what? Confusion. Sorry from
38:30
15. This wisdom descended not from what? Oh,
38:35
let's go prior. Up there. 13 now. Go to 13. Who
38:38
is a wise man and endued with what? Knowledge
38:42
among you. Let him show out of what? Good conversation.
38:49
His works with meekness of what? Of wisdom. 14.
38:53
But if you have bitter envy and strife in your
38:58
heart, glory not. and lie not against what the
39:03
truth 15 everybody let's read it now this what
39:06
wisdom does what descended not from where above
39:12
but is earthly is sensual sense and what devilish
39:21
for where envying and strife is there is confusion
39:25
and every what evil work so when we see a manifestation
39:30
of the wisdom of the Spirit, and what is created
39:33
suddenly in the receiver is confusion. It's creating
39:38
strife on the spot. It's creating envying on
39:42
the spot. We know that it's not the Spirit of
39:46
God at what? At manifestation, at work. Are we
39:52
all here? Are we all here, everybody? One. 1
39:58
Corinthians 1. Verse 20. 1 Corinthians 1 verse
40:04
what? Verse 20. Where is the wise? Where is the
40:23
scribe? Where is the disputer of this what? Of
40:28
this world? He's talking about the wisdom of
40:33
God and the wisdom of men. Amen? Had not God
40:37
made foolish the wisdom of what? The wisdom of
40:42
this world. Not the wisdom of God. For after
40:49
that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom
40:53
knew not what? So, we see a comparison regarding
40:57
the wisdom of God and the wisdom of where? Of
41:01
this world. See brethren. In this world there
41:04
is wisdom. Ah. There is what? There is wisdom.
41:09
You cannot exhaust it. There is wisdom in this
41:14
what? In this world. That is not. Word of wisdom.
41:21
A manifestation. And the workings of the spirit
41:25
of God. Amen. Hallelujah. 319. 1 Corinthians
41:33
319. For the wisdom of this world is what? Foolishness
41:41
with God, for it is written, he taketh the wise
41:44
in their own what? Captiveness. Remember I said
41:52
the word of wisdom is not acquired by what? Logic,
41:56
learning or what? Or reasoning. The wisdom of
42:03
the world has its own ways how it is acquired.
42:07
Praise God. Oh. The Lord of wisdom only has one
42:13
way that it is acquired by the Spirit of God.
42:18
There are not 10 ways. There are not 50 ways.
42:22
Only one way and it's the only way that you have
42:27
the Holy Ghost indwelling you. Ten ways to be
42:34
a self -made billionaire. Eat the frog and cook
42:41
it. Take the bull by the horn. So the world will
42:48
give you series of literatures so that you can
42:52
navigate your way. If you go to my helper university,
43:00
they will say, no, no, their wisdom is low. Go
43:02
to Harvard Business School. You have a higher
43:08
IQ. Can't you see those guys, they don't think
43:14
like, then the person will say like us, that
43:17
we are here. Say glory to God. Glory to God.
43:26
Say glory to God. I have the spirit of God. Dwelling
43:32
in me. Hallelujah. Colossians 2 .8. The wisdom
43:42
of the world is not the word of wisdom. The word
43:50
of wisdom will not create strife and envy. No.
43:53
Colossians 2 .8. Say beware. Lest any man spoil
44:02
you through what? Through what? Through what?
44:07
Philosophy and what? Vain deceit. After the tradition
44:12
of what? Of men. After the rudiments of what?
44:20
Of this world and not after what? After Christ.
44:26
See, in this world there is method to There is
44:30
method. Forget it. There is what? There is methods.
44:36
Oh, there are methods. If you come to medicine,
44:40
there are methods. You move to nursing, there
44:45
are methods. You go to biomedical engineering,
44:49
there are methods. You go to English language,
44:53
there are methods. You go back to your village,
44:57
there are what? methods let me say so that we
45:02
can laugh don't worry when you come to marry
45:06
you know there are methods you understand what
45:09
tradition of men is you know my in -laws raised
45:19
leg and then they showed me love with an outstretched
45:23
arm and then people in my village came up and
45:28
say ah but if you follow tradition too and so
45:34
what are they bringing to us i said what are
45:37
they bringing to you i don't understand they're
45:39
not bringing anything he said normally you know
45:45
we two are supposed to write our list and send
45:48
to who help you to build capacity to a place
45:59
where when they will speak these things they
46:00
will not speak to you directly you don't say
46:03
man ah let me say so that the revelation will
46:08
come god will help you to build capacity so that
46:12
when they will speak these things they will not
46:15
speak to you they didn't speak to me directly
46:19
i over had it there's a level where you will
46:24
be they will speak to you directly And they will
46:27
force you. And you must do it. You will cry your
46:31
life. You see what? Do it. You kept the sister
46:35
for 10 years. You must marry her. That's by the
46:40
way. But I said all these things to tell you
46:42
that tradition of men is not word of wisdom.
46:47
It's not. Because you see, all this mentioned
46:52
in that verse. The scriptures say it's not after
46:55
Christ. Hallelujah. It is not what? After Christ.
47:01
The philosophy of men, not after what? Christ.
47:05
Perfect. Add one more now. I think we've gotten
47:08
enough references here. Ecclesiastes chapter
47:13
1 verse 16 to 17. Are we being blessed so far?
47:21
Good. Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse 16 to 17.
47:26
I commune with my own heart saying, Lord, I am
47:31
come to great estate and I have gotten more wisdom
47:34
than all day that have been before me in what?
47:38
Jerusalem. Yea, my heart had great experience
47:41
of wisdom and what? Knowledge. Next verse. And
47:44
I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know what?
47:48
Madness and what? Folly. i perceive that this
47:52
also is a vexation of what this is not word of
47:59
wisdom hallelujah this is an acquired knowledge
48:04
by experience it's not oh boy what of wisdom
48:12
will not create vexation inside you after you
48:14
have received something will just shift inside
48:16
you there'll be a steering You will know this
48:19
is God at work now. Next now. The word of wisdom
48:28
is not a profound wisdom of the Bible. We'll
48:32
put a balance to it. The word of wisdom is not
48:35
what? That's the second one now. What the word
48:38
of wisdom is not. The word of wisdom is not what?
48:43
It's not a profound wisdom of the Bible. So it
48:50
is certainly true that God will help us understand
48:53
his word. We have the written word. We have teachers
48:57
that he has given us. Amen. And they are teaching
49:00
us his word. And the believer ought to give himself
49:05
to have knowledge of God's word. When I say knowledge
49:10
of God's word, I mean the written word. In fact,
49:14
let me say this as it's coming to my heart. Put
49:17
a premium priority to have the knowledge of God's
49:23
word. Put a premium priority to have the knowledge
49:28
of God's word. Let God's word dwell in you so
49:33
what? Richly in all wisdom. Have God's word rooted
49:43
in your heart richly. Not sparingly. There's
49:51
a reason for that. And we're going to put a balance
49:53
now to it. Amen? So, the wisdom from God's word,
50:02
the written word, is not a supernatural gift.
50:08
The wisdom from God's word, the written word,
50:12
is not a what? It's not a supernatural gift.
50:20
The wisdom from God's word, the written word,
50:24
is not a what? It's not a supernatural gift.
50:29
Reading the Bible daily, understanding its content,
50:33
sitting down under a teaching, and your thoughts,
50:37
God's word, is not word of wisdom. Are we all
50:52
here? Then let's write this now. But we must
50:56
know that the written word must always validate
51:01
the word of wisdom. Praise God. But we must know
51:07
that the written word must always what? Validate
51:12
the word of wisdom. So, in this atmosphere, when
51:17
somebody is giving you a word of wisdom, How
51:21
can we be able to judge it? First, we will judge
51:27
that speaking through what? Through the what?
51:31
The written word. Amen? So the written word must
51:38
always validate what? The word of wisdom. That
51:45
is, we must judge what we are receiving through
51:48
the written word. So what are we saying in essence?
51:52
That the word of wisdom must work in connection
51:55
with the written word. That's what we are saying
51:58
in essence. The word of wisdom must work in connection
52:02
with what? I said something during Karatismos
52:06
when we were talking about tongues and interpretation
52:07
of tongues. One of the leaders, the presidents
52:10
that we had, came up. We know that. I know that
52:13
he's not speaking by the Spirit of God. He said,
52:15
all of you, you just gather in the devotion hall.
52:33
That cannot be the spirit of God First the spirit
52:46
of God Is residing in our inside. Hallelujah.
52:51
Secondly. We are taught and trained. We have
52:53
knowledge of what tongues and interpretation
52:54
is to the believer. Thirdly. We are giving expression.
52:59
To prayers in the Holy Ghost. Amen. So there
53:02
is no how. We can be saying when we go out. We
53:05
should go and have what? Accident. Not possible.
53:14
Then now when we carry that. And judge it with
53:17
God's word. we will never see anywhere where
53:19
the apostles prayed in the holy ghost and then
53:22
the next thing is accident or the manifestation
53:27
or the interpretation of it is that what is accident
53:30
no so word of wisdom works in connection with
53:39
what with the written word hallelujah hallelujah
53:43
let me say it again for emphasis the word of
53:47
wisdom in operation is not higher than the written
53:51
words do you hear what i said the word of wisdom
53:58
in operation is not what is not higher if they
54:02
say the way you classify it than what than the
54:06
written words you say you know as i just held
54:10
your hands oh you know this is what the spirit
54:16
of god forget about the bible now forget hear
54:18
me hear me forget about the bible you are a liar
54:21
we can't forget about the bible what i say to
54:28
you you may not find it in the written word because
54:32
it's coming from the portals from the vistas
54:34
of heaven you know there are certain things that
54:42
have not yet been documented in the bible and
54:44
we are setting the mind of God and we are bringing
54:46
it and somebody will say you go from genesis
55:02
1 1 to revelation you can't see what i'm saying
55:05
because this inspiration is by the spirit of
55:07
god oh you see what i'm saying will give empathy
55:11
to the written forget just close your ears if
55:17
i were you i'll just touch my friends at least
55:20
now glory to god i have a wife i'll tell her
55:24
let's go Listen, let me say this now to some
55:34
people now. It just came to my heart. As you
55:36
scroll your Instagram, as you scroll your Facebook,
55:39
listen to me now. There are some things, don't
55:41
watch them. Don't even waste a second. Once you
55:45
hear, my wife knows she's here. As I just hear,
55:48
she says, she'll tell you. I don't even wait.
55:57
Once you just say, you just say one rubbish,
55:59
I just do like this. let's read the comments
56:03
and say no we should not even read the comments
56:06
follow after the things oh thank you holy spirit
56:18
follow after the things that keep your fire burning
56:23
Follow after the things. Listen to things. Follow
56:27
after the things that stirs you up. Follow after
56:30
the things that keeps you on fire. Follow after
56:33
the things. I'm not saying scrolling is sin.
56:43
No. But it's just that those things have been
56:48
sworn as seeds in your heart. So, God will not
56:56
violate the written word because he is speaking
56:59
through you by his spirit. You hear what I just
57:03
said now? God will not violate his what? His
57:07
written word because he is speaking through you
57:10
by his what? By his spirit. He will not violate
57:13
the written word. Praise God. Psalms 119 verse
57:19
98 to 100. Psalms 119. Psalms 119. Are we all
57:34
there? 98 to 100. See what the scripture says
57:38
there. 98. Thou through my commandment has made
57:44
me wiser. Oh, sorry. Thou through thy what? Thy
57:48
commandment has made me what? Wiser than my what?
57:54
for they are ever what? With me. He's talking
57:58
about the written word now. Right? See what he
58:01
say? I have more understanding than all my teachers
58:03
for thy testimonies and my what? Meditation.
58:05
This is no word of wisdom. Hallelujah. This is
58:10
no what? Word of wisdom. I understand more than
58:13
the ancient because I keep thy what? Presence.
58:17
It's not word of wisdom. Praise God. Proverbs
58:21
2 verse 6. Proverbs 2 verse 6. For the Lord giveth
58:30
wisdom out of his mouth cometh knowledge and
58:33
what? Understanding. This is not word of wisdom.
58:37
Amen. Deuteronomy chapter 4, 5 to 6. Deuteronomy
58:45
chapter 4, 5 to 6. All the scriptures we are
58:52
reading, please pay attention to the points above.
58:55
That is not a profound wisdom of what? Of the
58:58
Bible. 4, 5 to 6. Behold, I have taught you statutes
59:02
and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded
59:05
me, that ye shall do in the land whither ye go
59:09
to possess it. Keep therefore and do what? And
59:12
do them, for this is your what? This is your
59:16
what? Wisdom that you keep and do them is your
59:20
what? It's your wisdom and your understanding
59:23
in the sight of the nations which shall hear
59:26
all these statues and say, surely this great
59:30
nation is a wise and what? Understanding people.
59:35
It's not word of wisdom. Praise God. Hallelujah.
59:40
Hallelujah. 2 Timothy 3 .15. 2 Timothy 3 .15.
59:51
And that from a child, thou hast known the word.
59:56
Thou hast known the word. Which are able to make
1:00:00
thee wise unto what? Through faith which is way
1:00:06
in Christ Jesus. It's not word of wisdom. So
1:00:15
having a profound knowledge and wisdom of the
1:00:18
written word is not word of what? It's not word
1:00:21
of wisdom. Next one. The word of wisdom is not
1:00:24
wisdom from God through experience. The word
1:00:30
of wisdom is not wisdom from God through experience.
1:00:38
You're 30. You're 40. You're 50. You're 60. You're
1:00:43
70. You're a professor. You're a consultant.
1:00:50
You have some form of level of experience by
1:00:53
the standard of men. It's not word of wisdom.
1:00:57
Hallelujah. You know, I wrote here, I said, another
1:01:06
mistaken idea about the gift of the word of wisdom
1:01:09
is that the word of wisdom. Okay, sorry. Another
1:01:16
mistaken idea is that about the word of wisdom.
1:01:19
is that the word of wisdom comes by working closely
1:01:22
with God. And what I mean by working closely
1:01:26
now, by having years of experience. So some people
1:01:31
feel, oh you know, I've been in this ministry
1:01:33
for 35 years. So I can be able to tell you how
1:01:37
to navigate your way in the work of ministry.
1:01:41
That is not word of wisdom. You just want to
1:01:46
share with me an experience. hallelujah how 35
1:01:51
years right this and this and this and this and
1:01:55
this and this happened to you that is not what
1:01:59
what of what what of wisdom hallelujah so the
1:02:07
believer does gain a real wisdom of god by working
1:02:12
with him the believer has and will gain wisdom
1:02:16
by working with what With God in fellowship.
1:02:20
You will have wisdom. We just read a couple of
1:02:22
scriptures. Amen. You will have what? Wisdom.
1:02:28
You will gain a real wisdom of God by working
1:02:32
with him daily and through his word. But that
1:02:36
is different from supernatural manifestation
1:02:39
of what? Of the word of wisdom. About certain
1:02:44
facts in the mind of God. Hallelujah. Let's write
1:02:49
Exodus 33 11. Exodus 33 11. Exodus 33 11 to 12.
1:03:06
Are we all there? Exodus 33 11. And the Lord
1:03:16
spake unto Moses face to face as a man spake
1:03:19
unto his friend, and he turned again into the
1:03:22
camp. But his servant Joshua, the son of Nun,
1:03:25
a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
1:03:28
And Moses said unto the Lord, See thou sayest
1:03:31
unto me, Bring up these people, and thou hast
1:03:35
not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.
1:03:37
Yet thou hast said, I know thee by what? I know
1:03:41
thee by what? By name. And thou hast also found
1:03:44
grace what? 11. And the Lord spoke unto Moses,
1:03:48
face what? To face to face. Verse 12 now is ending
1:03:52
and the Lord is saying, I know. I know what?
1:03:56
I know thee, Moses. I know you. Right? Perfect
1:04:01
now. So, let's read Psalms 103 verse 7 now. It's
1:04:05
tied to this place. Psalms 103. Psalms 103 verse
1:04:16
7. See what the scripture says there. Psalms
1:04:23
103 verse 7. He said, he made known his what?
1:04:27
His ways unto what? His acts unto what? The children
1:04:32
of what? So you having a knowledge of how God
1:04:37
does his things is not word of wisdom. The wisdom
1:04:45
and the knowledge you get as a result of fellowship,
1:04:47
daily working with God, knowing God and having
1:04:51
this solid relationship with Jesus is not what?
1:04:56
Word of wisdom. That experience is not word of
1:05:00
what? Word of wisdom. However, I will put a balance
1:05:04
to it. However, that experience will be the platform
1:05:09
on which the practice of the manifestation of
1:05:12
the word of wisdom will be normal for you do
1:05:17
you hear what i said the experience and the fellowship
1:05:21
and the relationship is not word of wisdom but
1:05:25
the platform for that fellowship and experience
1:05:28
right will be that place where you can easily
1:05:32
practice what all the manifestation of the gifts
1:05:36
of the holy ghost so what i'm saying in essence
1:05:39
is because there is a consistent fellowship right
1:05:43
You are always on fire. You are always fervent.
1:05:46
It's easier to see daily the manifestation of
1:05:50
the things of the spirit. Hallelujah. So write
1:05:53
this now, everybody. Write this now. Write these
1:05:57
scriptures. And when we come on Wednesday, we'll
1:06:02
be able to now build on that. Job chapter 42
1:06:05
verse 5. Job chapter 42 verse 5. Genesis 18.
1:06:13
Genesis 18, 19, Job 42, verse 5. Have you written
1:06:21
that? Then write this subtopic. The word of wisdom
1:06:25
is not wisdom in the affairs of life. There's
1:06:31
a reason why we are going to what the word of
1:06:33
wisdom is not. The word of wisdom is not wisdom
1:06:36
in the affairs of life. So after we do this,
1:06:44
we'll do how the word of knowledge and the word
1:06:46
of wisdom and the prophetic work together. Amen?
1:06:49
And then from there, we'll now see word of wisdom
1:06:52
in the Old Testament, word of wisdom in the what?
1:06:55
In the New Testament. Can we rise to our feet,
1:06:57
everybody? Thank you for listening to our sermon
1:07:00
