My seed, Multiplie

Pastor Adebo asked us to sow a seed of £58.00.  This £58.00 represents the 58 blessings in the Bible.  I sowed, believing God’s servant and to the glory of God very soon after I gav100% this seed it multiplied to me as a 100% profit in my business.  Thank you Jesus.

The Help of Heaven Saw Me Through

I have been away for a few months now.  But I want to acknowledge the help, protective arm and provision of God.  Throughout my stay in Nigeria.  I want to thank God for his faithfulness and tremendous help.

I Give God all the Glory

Health Restored

I am thanking God for the good health I am now enjoying.  At this time last year I had health challenges and looked and felt like a ‘walking dead’.  But to the Glory and mercy of God through finding a ‘living church’ (Recovery Chapel) my health is fully restored and I am looking forward to celebrating my coming birthday.

Hallelujah!

A  Testimony Reproduced

I recently listened to the testimony of another member of this church in which she used the blood of Jesus to cleanse herself of a skin problem.

My baby daughter had been suffering from eczema and I have tried all manner of medication including herb treatment.  When I was at my wit’s end God reminded me of the sister’s testimony.  I took the blood and used it to give my daughter her bath and to the glory of God all the eczema is gone.

God is truly faithful.

All It Takes Is Faith

Dusan Voros & Katarina Orusova

(as narrated by the Interpreter)

We arrived in the UK in January last year

In the first four months of our stay we were able to secure jobs.  However soon after we both lost our jobs and became homeless, sleeping rough on the streets of London.  After sometime we met Joseph who brought us to Recovery Chapel.

As I do not speak english, I found it hard to understand the sermons but the Holy Spirit gave me understanding through my heart and God was bringing me closer and closer to Him.

When my partner became pregnant she had a lot of problems health-wise.  Because we also did not have a place to stay we were told the baby would have to be given up at birth to the authorities.

The church rallied together and wrote a letter for us and just before the baby was born we were given accommodation.

When the time came for Katarina to have the baby, she developed so many problems that the medical team were trying to come to a decision on whether to save her own life or the baby’s.  When the baby was finally born she had severe breathing problems and at a time the heart stopped beating. I started to become afraid but remembered the oil I had.  I remembered seeing Pastor using the oil to anoint people in services.  I took the oil and anointed the baby’s chest and back and put some in her mouth I also anointed the mother.  After a few minutes the baby came alive again and also the mother’s pulse began to improve.

Thank you people of Recovery Chapel for all your love towards us.  And I want to say thank you to my friend Josef for bringing me to this lovely place.

God Fought For Me

I am standing before the Almighty once again to testify of His goodness towards me.

A lady whom I had given a job to turned out to be my worst nightmare.  She plotted and schemed and lied about me to my boss and colleagues.  The situation affected me so much that I started losing weight and my blood pressure was on a high.  I called upon the Lord without ceasing and asked for vengeance. The result was that the woman could no longer sleep or have peace.  When she finally managed to see me she says she had been looking all over  for me, even to the extent of coming to my house but being unable to knock on my door.  She knelt and began to beg me to forgive her and release her for all the wrongs she has done to me.

My Crooked Places Made Straight

I came to live in the united kingdom a while ago.  I however noticed at a point that I was not progressing.  I was stagnant.  I felt I knew what to do to be able to progress but I was constantly scared of taking a risk.  I contacted Pst Adebo and explained my situation to him and he prayed with me and counselled me to take God’s direction and go forward.  I also keyed into Isaiah 45 “I will go before you and make the crooked paths straight”.

I was to travel to Nigeria shortly after – I missed my flight which caused me to lose a lot of money.  I was devastated but God reminded me of the Psalm 45. When I eventually travelled God surprised and favoured me beyond my imagination.  I was to regularise my papers.  My application was approved and I got even what I did not ask for.

My God is truly merciful and faithful.

Ministration Brought about a Visition

During a Wednesday Service.  Pastor asked us to bring a hankerchief as God is set to wipe away every bitter tear from our faces.  After the ministration God gave me a revelation that my ‘pay day’ is at hand.

Genesis 8:5

⁵ The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

Wisdom is the principal key

Luke 2:40

⁴⁰And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

We are containers and can be filled with wisdom. Wisdom is more important than the anointing.

ANIONTING – WISDOM = DISASTER

1 Corinthians 1:24

²⁴but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Luke 2:52

⁵²And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.

The more wisdom one gets, the more favour one receives. It is not God who determines your favour but your wisdom.Wisdom is gotten from diligent search for knowledge.

Proverbs 3:13

¹³ Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,

Proverbs 21:20

In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.

Genesis 41:38-39

³⁸ So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God ^[a] ?”
³⁹ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.

Wisdom is not memorized, it is revealed

Philippians 2:9

⁹Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name

Wisdom does not occur in words alone but in works. Wisdom makes the face of man to shine.

What is wisdom?

Matthew 7:24

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Wisdom is walking in God’s revealed ways. It is an issue of obedience. Wisdom is the word of God applied. If knowledge does not become understandable, wisdom cannot manifest.

Foundation of Wisdom

The fear of the lord is one of the ways by which wisdom can manifest.

Proverbs 8:13

To fear the LORD is to hate evil;  I hate pride and arrogance,  evil behavior and perverse speech.

You are welcome to the month of divine wisdom and the tenth month. On thing that can take any man to the top in this kingdom is divine wisdom.

Proverbs 4:7-10.

7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, [a] get understanding.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor.”
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.

From the scriptures, exalt her and she promotes thee, so wisdom is a principal key that guarantee lifting. Without wisdom, your life will remain on the same spot. We are going to be looking at some examples:

JESUS

Looking at the life of Jesus, Our lord and saviour, He knew the importance and principal role of wisdom in His life and ministry. Luke 2:40. The first thing, Jesus sought for in the beginning of His journey was wisdom before He sought for anointing. Wisdom is more important than the anointing. Jesus went in search of wisdom of God before the power of God. And that is why today, He is called the wisdom and the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:25

25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

Jesus laboured for the anointing by acquiring wisdom first that came through seeking knowledge and understanding. Anointing without wisdom equals disaster. For example, Samson. It is clear, the anointing will produce the resort you desire but wisdom will sustain it. It is wisdom which stabilizes the result generated from anointing. You can have anointing without wisdom but you can not be wise and not be anointed. Proverbs 21:20, Proverbs 8:22

Jesus saw that the Father possessed wisdom in the beginning of His way. In a similar way, Luke 2:40, He began by possessing in the beginning. So, wisdom is what you must posses at the beginning of every venture.

Luke 2:52

52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and men.

Not only did Jesus possess wisdom, He increased in wisdom by diligent search for knowledge. So, Jesus increased in wisdom before increasing in stature, and in favour with God and man. In addition, it means, one can never rise beyond his/her level of wisdom. The more heights one wants to go, the more wisdom one must have. No wonder Jesus finished his journey in great height according to Philippians 2:9. That is why He was given a name which is above every other name.

At the beginning of everything, marriage, business, career; the first capital you must look for is not money but wisdom. That is why we encourage people to buy materials, to buy books that will increase their amount of knowledge of wisdom. People can afford more money to spend. A wise man once said, “That people spend more money on cars in stead of libraries, that is why cars run faster than their brains”; just like a processor determines the speed of a computer.

JOSEPH

Wisdom took Joseph to a great height in Egypt. Wisdom provoked Joseph from a prisoner to a prime minister

Genesis 41:38-40

38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God [a] ?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”

So, it was wisdom which turned a slave to a ruler. It was the spirit of God in a realm of wisdom that uncovered the wisdom which enthroned Joseph.

DANIEL

It was the same wisdom which enthroned Daniel in Babylon.

Daniel 6:1-3

1 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss.
3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

WHAT IS WISDOM?

Wisdom is working in God’s revealed ways. Wisdom is God’s approach in dealing with things.

Matthew 7:24-26

24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

According to these scriptures, wisdom is the law of God applied. Wisdom is simply word-practise. Wisdom is the ability to see anything the way God sees it and to act the way the God would. People listen to sermons, read books, buy and listen to cds; however, their lives do not change. Just as you acquire information, it will not change until you understand and put the knowledge acquired into action by doing what God wants. Psalm 119:98. Scarcity of wise people is traceable to shortage of world practitioners.

WHERE DOES WISDOM BEGIN?

Wisdom begins with the fear of God

Proverbs 9:10

10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Job 28:28

28 And he said to man, ‘The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.’ ”

Without total references for God, no wisdom will come your way.

How do I know I fear God?

Stay away from sin that is anything which annoys God. One cannot walk in holiness without the fear of God. 2 Corinthians 7:1, Proverbs 8:13. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, arrogance and pride.

Proverbs 6:16-19 outlines what God hates. It was the fear of God which did not let Joseph sleep with Potiphar’s wife. It was the fear of God which did not let Joseph revenge on his brothers. When the fear of God becomes your choice; you have chosen the part of righteousness

Proverbs 1:29

29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD,

In conclusion, if you choose the fear of God, you however choose the paths of wisdom. So, as you keep learning this month, I see you getting wiser. Proverbs 2:5
