Message Title: The Mystery of Meditation in Accessing the Ever-Winning Wisdom From Above

- Bishop David Oyedepo

God is inviting you to engage in meditation for your change of story. - Joshua 1:8, Psa 1:1-3

If you don't have time to think, you have created time to stink.

What is Meditation?

a. It is the act of thinking through the scriptures in search of solutions to issues. - Genesis 24:14

b. It is reasoning through the scriptures for the way forward. - Psalm 119:98

c. It is the act of pondering on the scriptures in search of answers to the bugging questions of your life. - John 8:6

d. It is thinking through scriptures to find a way out of your predicament. - 1 Corinthians 10:3-5

Those who are addicted to the scriptures never get stranded.

Your profitability in your adventure with Christ demands meditation.

The enemy is out to rob you of what secures your future.

It is time to consciously create a season of separation in your life to meditate.

The Word is the way out of every unwanted situation in your life.

The answer is in the Book, the Bible; it is only waiting for you to find it. - John 14:6, Isa. 55:8-9

You can think your way through whatever issue is hanging around your life and overcome it.

While new birth grants you access to the answers in the Word, it is the fear of God that guarantees your delivery. - Isa. 66:1-3

The Word of God is the way out of every unwanted situation in your life; therefore, you must think through the Scriptures by reading, hearing, and meditating on the Word to secure your tomorrow. - Matt. 11:28, 1 Tim. 4:15

Don't mind what the world says; mind what the Word says.

Jesus has the answers; you no longer need to struggle with questions.

The answers to your questions may come in four different ways:

1. It may come in form of kingdom principles.

2. It may come in form of reproofs.

3. It may come in form of instructions.

4. It may come in form of corrections.

There is no intellectual access to the covenants of life as embedded in the scriptures because God's ways are higher than your ways. - Isaiah 55:8-9

You must be spiritually disposed to access answers for your life.

God is waiting for you to make demands for the way out, the way forward and the way upward.

There is always a way out out of every challenge. Mediation in the Word is the medium through which you locate the way out. - 1 Corinthians 10:13

You don't get to your destination by being slothful but by being serious.

Only a serious approach guarantees a glorious future in any endeavour.

Meditation is a spiritual asset; it is available to you because you have the mind of Christ.

There is a way out of any unwanted situation if you will meditate on the scriptures.

Meditation is squeezing the Word to bring out the juice that will add vitamins to your life.

Personal life-transforming words received from God via meditation

1. “You do not need to know any man to scale any height in life; just know Me.”

2. “I have not designed life for ups and downs but ups and ups” - Proverbs 4:18

3. "I am committed to leading you, if you are committed to following Me."

Ask God questions and be sincere about your questions and you are sure to have your answers.

It takes time to acquire the Word.

It takes time to meditate through the Word.

It takes the fear of God to engage with your findings.

Meditation is a gateway to a life of continuous triumph, continuous flourishing and a life of breaking forth on every side. Therefore engage with it!

What Must I Do to Build my Spiritual Life?

1. Drawing from what you have learned at His feet.

2. Engage your night season in thinking through the Word for your desired solutions.- Isaiah 26:9

You’ve not been adopted into God’s family as a beggar; He has brought you in to be a partaker of heavenly blessings.

So, stop acting like a pauper. Live and walk in your authority as a child of God!

DIVINE WISDOM IS AN ASSET OF INESTIMABLE VALUE.

THERE IS NO ACADEMIC DEGREE THAT DELIVERS LENGTH OF DAYS.

THERE IS NO ACADEMIC INSTITUTION, NO RESEARCH CENTER IN THE WORLD OFFERS LENGTH OF DAYS.

- Bishop David Oyedepo on "ESPOUSING THE TREASURE OF DIVINE WISDOM" at SHILOH 2024 Day Two Encounter Night || EVER WINNING WISDOM || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || 11th December 2024 || Part B

Tonight we'll be looking at Espousing The Treasure of Divine Wisdom.
Proverbs 3:13-15, Happy is the man findeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver. And the gain thereof than fine gold. What an asset. Church Gist. Now, verse 15, she's more precious than rubies and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

It's an asset of inestimable value. Divine wisdom is an asset of inestimable value. Verse 16, length of days is in her right hand. What? There is no academic degree that delivers length of days. Church Gist. One of our elders stood here in the morning, she's 79, she's lived with sickle cell anemia all her life.

Ten years ago she encountered Jesus and took it up. She has no issue with her life anymore. Church Gist. There is no academic institution, no research center in the world offers length of days. No, they don't have it. Their syllabus can't contain it.

Divine wisdom is an asset of inestimable value. Now, verse 17, all her ways, are ways of pleasantness, pressure-free life, and all her paths are peace. Church Gist. Crisis -free, pressure-free life, crisis - free life, maintaining same temperature and pressure under all circumstances, that is Divine wisdom for you.

How precious are the treasures in Divine wisdom? Espousing the treasures of Divine wisdom? Church Gist. What is unique about the wisdom from above? Simply, it's above all. Whatever is from above is above all. There is no school of knowledge under Heaven that will match what Divine wisdom offers.

We have this declaration in Job 28:7-2. We'll be looking at it in segment.
There's a path which the eagles, know not, which the vulture’s eye hath not seen. The lion's webs have not passed or trodden it, nor the fierce lion pass by it. Church Gist. This treasure put his hand forth upon the rock and overturns the mountains by the roots, dissolves problems as if they never existed, it dissolves them.

You know, the Bible said in His presence, mountains flow down like wax, as if there are no mountains. Church Gist. It cuts out rivers among the rocks, his eyes sees every precious thing. It sees treasures amidst trashes.

One of our young fellows here went to a place for NYSC that takes lesson teachers or lesson teaching. He made two million in the NYSC year. Church Gist. Two million. His eyes seeth every precious thing.

A young lady was in Zaria on NYSC. She was moving tomato from Zaria to the railway station in Kaduna. She bought a jeep in the course of NYSC. Church Gist. His eyes seeth every precious thing. And some old girls and old boys are crying to their mommy for SIM card or recharge card. His eyes seeth every precious thing.

You never get stranded with Divine wisdom at work. It creates what is not believed can exist. Some folks are looking for jobs today. Church Gist. They have the potentials to create jobs inside of them lying fallow.

His eyes seeth every precious thing. Every. This event will bust every tension around everyone's life. Church Gist. It will bust every tension around everyone's life. You will know the meaning of true peace from after this meeting.

This is one of the products of divine wisdom. The word says this wisdom is hid from the eyes of all living. Church Gist. So forget it. There is no natural or intellectual platform for access. Job 28:13. It is hid from the land of the living.

In 1 Corinthians 2:14, a natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God because they are foolishness to him. Church Gist. Neither can he know them. They are beyond him.

It is that beyond realm that you’re going into. What will make the world wonder at you. That is what you are going into. Church Gist. A young man in Kaduna came in from the U.S. with a master's in Mechanical Engineering and couldn't get a job.

Somehow, light came. Went to Edo state, checked how much they sell palm oil, came to Kaduna market, checked how much they are buying and became an oil merchant. Church Gist. Long story short, he bought a house in G.R.A dealing in palm oil.

When wisdom comes, it creates solutions. Wake up. Wake up. Church Gist.
You never get stranded anymore in your life. It's not found in the land of the living. Job 28:21.
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living and kept close from the eyes of researchers. The fowl's eye. Church Gist. Because my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the heavens are higher than the earth. So are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

And so shall my world be. So His wisdom is higher than the highest.
Can you imagine? You're going with that today. Church Gist. You are leaving Shiloh with the identity of Divine wisdom on your life. You'll be breaking forth without sweating.

SHILOH 2024 OPENING LÑ M: UNVEILING THE PROPHETIC Dimensions of the Scriptures- Bishop David Oyedepo

Understanding the prophetic dimension of the Scriptures is what gives you a profitable living. - 2 Pet. 1:19

What is in God’s Word?

Every Word from God’s mouth is prophetic. - Isa. 34:16, Isa. 55:10

The Word of God from the Scriptures is not for information but for performance.

We are in the days of raw fulfilment of prophecies.

- Among the principal weapons of the end-time Church is God’s manifold wisdom. - Prov. 8:15-16

- Wisdom is ordained to glorify the end-time Church. - 1 Cor. 2:8

Four Kinds of Wisdom. - James 3:13-15

1. Earthly wisdom

2. Sensual wisdom

3. Diabolical wisdom

4. The wisdom from above

Wisdom makes the face of a wise man to shine and makes you bold in the midst of circumstances. - Eccl. 8:1, Isa. 60:2

Wisdom makes you shine and when you shine, darkness backs out because light and darkness cannot co-exist. - Isa. 60:2

We have been emphasising power; it's time to connect to wisdom.

You must know what to do before power comes into play.

Nothing defines your future as a believer like the prophetic scriptures.

See the Bible as a prophetic bank that defines your destiny and eternity.

Every promise of the scripture is prophetic; when you meet the conditions, you have committed God to perform.

God is not a racist and we all are one in Christ so no matter the heat on the earth, He is ready to supply your needs because He loves you.

The glory of this redemptive era is meant to be heavier than that of the Old Testament.

Engaging with the truth of the scriptures and believing it makes you wise. - 2 Tim. 15-17

Every prophetic Word is delivered on a covenant platform. When you stay on duty, God will be committed to blessing you.

Prophetic scriptures are valid for all times; they never become obsolete. - Matt. 5:18, Isa. 40:8

It takes strong faith for prophetic scriptures to come to pass in your life.

Little faith cannot deliver the fullness of God's agenda for your life. You need to build your faith to match the agenda God has for you, therefore, work and grow in your faith.

The scriptures have your future in store; all you need is to see farther than you have seen.

Seeing what is made available for you in the Scripture is what makes it a reality in your life. Until you see it, you cannot experience it. - Gen. 13:14-15

Your part of the covenant must be played for God to perform.

You cannot take delivery of prophetic scriptures without your faith actively at work.

Give strength to your faith by feeding it with the Word of faith.

God has never made a failure; that he gave birth to you means you are a success. Success is in your DNA.

Kings don't beg, they decree. They have only one destiny and that's to reign. God has made you king. Reign and rule, refuse to beg!

Stop showing people that you can stay through anything. that's why they keeps putting you through everything.

Sometimes you'll actually find out that some people are good if you weren't busy hating them for the lies you heard about them.
