  Speaker 1: For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: unto them.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: But the word preached did not profit them, because their.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Faith did not feed on the word. The word of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: God is the life support of our faith.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: We live by the word of God. Blessed be God
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs 24 verse
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: 14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: The knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul. When thou
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: hast found it, then there shall be a reward. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: thy expectation, thy expectation shall not be cut off. Welcome
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to Faith Feed episode 199. The knowledge of wisdom. Knowledge
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of wisdom. One of the basic apparatus for living life
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: is wisdom. Wisdom is the principal word thing. And the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Bible or Jesus Proverbs saying that we should seek it,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: we should place priority on it so that our soul
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: can be comforted in the affairs of life. Wisdom is
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: how we navigate life. The Bible saying in verse 13,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: my son, eat thou honey because it is good. He says,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and the honeycomb which is sweet to thy taste. So
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: shall the knowledge. Then he now says, so shall what?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The knowledge of wisdom. So the knowledge of wisdom is
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like honey to your soul when embraced. Yes, the Bible
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: shows us in Proverbs 19 that for the soul to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: be without knowledge, it is not good. Just like honey
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: is good to your taste bud, your flesh. He says,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: so is the knowledge of wisdom, good knowledge. So when
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: your soul hungers and thirsts, the quenching of that thirst
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: is the knowledge of wisdom. Your soul must seek, search
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: after God, must hunger and thirst after righteousness for the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: knowledge of wisdom. Because this righteousness thing, even if our works,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you need the balance. Knowledge of wisdom brings that balance.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It now says for the soul to not be with knowledge,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it is not a good thing. And it now says
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that one of the characteristics of the soul being without
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: knowledge is that a man becomes hasty. A man lacks
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: patience in all his endeavors. Knowledge of wisdom is lacking. Indeed,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: God gives wisdom.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: To the righteous.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: The Bible shows us in Proverbs 2, verse 7, that
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: he laid up sound wisdom.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: For the righteous man.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: That is the reason why the expectations of the righteous
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: will not be cut short. Proverbs 23, it says, Let
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: not thy hearts envy sinners. And the scripture tells us
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: here that, but we should be in the fear of
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the Lord. That's the only way for we not to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: be in that place of envy and jealousy over sinners
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is that we embrace. Remember, the fear of the Lord
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is what? The beginning of wisdom. So we must embrace
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the understanding of the fear of the Lord. Then he
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: now says in verse 18 that surely that's after you're
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: able to embrace the fear of the Lord, which helps you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: he says, thy expectations. Shall not be cut off. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there are instructions of righteousness. There are pathways of righteousness.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That you must endeavor to seek out. That's where you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: find the wisdom. The knowledge of wisdom. Before then in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: verse 12 he says. Apply thy heart unto instruction. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: thy ears to the word of knowledge. So by instruction
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: comes what?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: The word.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's where knowledge of wisdom comes with. Through instruction. For
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: all scriptures are given what? for instructions, for instructions in righteousness.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That is why everything is good for the believer. That
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: is why the lines will fall in places and places
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: for the believer. It's not that the believer has to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: pray for the lines to fall. It is the knowledge
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of wisdom that ensures that the believer is at the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: right place at the right time in the right season,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: approaching the right people. If you catch this, life becomes
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: easier to navigate. The Bible says, acknowledge me. Proverbs says,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: acknowledge me.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And what? God will direct. He will direct.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So the place of acknowledgement is defined as the pathway
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of seeking. See, once you catch the knowledge of wisdom,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you will know. The Bible says, it shall be like
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: honey to your... That is, it will be tangible. When
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you have caught revelation, you may not be able to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: explain it to people. But when you enter wealth, when
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you enter security of health, when you enter covenant with God,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you will know. Your soul will be at peace. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that is why your expectations will not be cut short.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We see in Ephesians, the Pauline prayer. He said, for
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father of
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: heaven and at his name, that he would, what? Strengthen
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: us with mind by his spirit in our inner mind.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: That what?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: That Christ will dwell in our hearts, that we be
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: with all this, all the saints, what is the lens,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the bread, the height and depth, and to know, listen,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and to know the love of Christ, which passeth what? Knowledge.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Knowledge.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That's the knowledge of wisdom. Then he now says, after all,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that God shall do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you can
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: ask or think. That means God will exceed your expectation
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: once you are full of the knowledge of wisdom. Yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Going back, he says, and there shall be a reward.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: After he says, so shall the knowledge of wisdom be
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: unto thy soul. He says, when thou hast found it,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that knowledge of wisdom, then there shall be a reward.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: God is what? A rewarder of them that diligently seek what?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Him. So diligence and seeking are one parameter that you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: must embrace to secure the reward. And that reward of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: your expectations not being cut short. So instead of worrying
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: about finances, Instead of worrying about health, instead of worrying
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: about uncertainties, like seek the knowledge of wisdom, you cannot
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: seek the things that can kill a man. I mean,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Job says the thing that I greatly feared had come upon.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Job's story was to reveal the fact that a man
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: requires wisdom, the wisdom of God, in order to navigate
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: life effectively.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You cannot do life by your own wisdom. No, no, no, no, no.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That is why God gave us his word.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Because our soul needs to hunger and taste for the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: word in order for us to find the knowledge of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: wisdom for navigating the pathway of life. Like I said,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: once you know it, once you grab it, you may
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: not be able to define it. You may not be
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: able to explain it. But you know, you know, you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you know fully well that the Lord that keepeth Israel
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: neither slumbers nor sleeps. You know fully well that your
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: soul will escape as a bird out of snare of
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the fowl. You know fully well that the rod of
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the wicked will not rest upon. You know fully well
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that God will deliver you from the strife, from famine.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: from pestilence from wickedness in high places you know fully
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: whether the wickedness of the wicked it is not by
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: confess it is a knowledge of wisdom that dawns upon
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that's why it says we overcome by the blood jesus
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: by the word of our test this is where your
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: testing this is your testimony comes by the knowledge of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: wisdom The next verse, it says, lay not, after your
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: expectations shall not be cautious. It says, lay not, O
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous. Spoil not
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: his resting place. Now, this is why your head, it
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: does say in the verse, for a just man falleth.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Seven times and riseth up again. Look.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It's not just a talking. This is a knowing. This
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: is the knowledge of wisdom. This is what the knowledge
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of wisdom does to an individual. First of all, you
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: will know that the wicked cannot dwell, cannot go against
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the dwelling, the resting place of the rest. You will
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: know that when you fall, you will rise. Listen, listen,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: there is no formula. It is knowledge of the principles.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That you are. It is knowledge of wisdom.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because there are people, there are people who
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: are following that principle even more than the people that
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: preach the principle and yet they don't get the reward.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: They don't get any. See, it is knowledge of wisdom.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Principles are good. Principles are good. But it says, so
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: shall the knowledge of it be unto thy soul. It
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: has to come to the place where it becomes a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: delight to your soul. You see people having resentment towards God.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: After they have served God, they begin to have entitlement
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: mentality as to what God.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen. You have to be.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: If it's not a delight to serve God beyond just
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: what God can do for you, it will not work
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: for you. You will fall into resentment mentality. Yes, so
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: shall the knowledge of you. It must be a delight
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to serve God, whether there is reward or there is
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: no reward. To seek God, whether there is a reward. Yes,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we know that there will be a reward. But it's
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: not you that determines the reward. God is the rewarder.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: And God knows your expectations. Psalm 37, reading from verse 4.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: thee what? The desire's That is expectation. So the problem
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is setting yourself to the seeking first. But you don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: put yourself in the adventure of knowing anybody that is forced.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: The person begins to have resentment if care is not.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: That's why people must learn to love God for themselves.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Seek God. He says, and you shall bring the desire
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of your life. He says, commit your way. You see now.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: You commit your way unto the Lord, trust in Him,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and He shall bring you to peace. That's it. He
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: shall bring forth thy righteousness. Can you see?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: This summarizes all we are talking here. He shall bring
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: forth thy righteousness. as the light and thy judgment as
• 10:01
