Prophecy
A new nation is arising, a new people are arising tonight. For it shall be said it is the year of your rebirth. Thank You, Lord!! For many it shall seem to be a year of rebirth. It is not an improvement for many, it will be literally as though it was a rebirth says the Spirit of the Lord. For eyes have not seen, ears have not heard sayeth the spirit of the Lord, that which I have in store for you. For many it shall be a year of the rebirth says the Spirit of the Lord. Thank Him for His word.
Prayer/Charge
We already established that wisdom is your inheritance. Wisdom shows itself in superior discernment and sound judgment. You are here today by reason of your decisions. Proverbs 8:14. The first way wisdom shows up in the life of any man is in their decision making and choices. Superior discretion and sound judgement, this is where wisdom shows up. No curse is greater than your choices and conduct. They will break any curse. Proverbs 3:21 (CEB) says “My son don’t let them slip from your eyes, hold on to sound judgment and discretion.”
Lift your hand and say, Heavenly Father, I am full of the spirit of wisdom. It finds expression through me in discernment, discretion, and sound judgment.
There is the working of wisdom in a man, causing him to have superior discernment, discretion by the Spirit, and sound judgement. There is a time to speak, there is a time to be mute. You need an understanding of the times, knowing what to do and say per time. This is not a light matter. Many believers have had doors shut to them because they didn’t know when to talk and when to keep quiet. Put your right hand on your head and say I function in superior discernment, discretion, and sound judgement. Declare it with authority. The right thing said at the wrong time can cause more problems.
Many married people will attest to this, you can say the very right thing and your marriage will go to the left because you didn’t say it at the time it should be said. From today, your choices and decisions come from a place of wisdom. The sum total of any man is in his choices and decisions. If we can fill the wisdom gap, we can solve every problem facing mankind.
In 1st Samuel 18: 5, 14, 15 & 30, the common statement is that “David behaved himself wisely”, “he behaved himself wisely in all his ways”, and “David behaved himself more wisely.” There was a progression here. This year, you will behave yourself wisely in all your ways. The same wisdom that distinguished David is distinguishing you in this season. No fault is found in you.
1 minute of prayer in faith is more effective than 1 hour of prayer in unbelief.
Joshua 1:8 shows us that good success is the same thing as wisdom. Success is not a prayer point; it is a consequence. The right steps, the right actions, the right conduct leads to good success. As far as the Hebrew mind is concerned, good success is to behave wisely.
Exhortation
A greater than Solomon is here. A life that puts God on full display such that it will be unjust for anybody to disbelieve that God exists. Ephesians 3:10.
The difference between nations is the quality of thoughts. This is the wisdom of men. However, the bible says the foolishness of God is still greater than the wisdom of men. 1 Kings 3:3 & 1 King 11. And Solomon loved the Lord. He lost it when he began to love strange women. The difference between the man in chapter 3 and the man in Chapter 11 was what Solomon loved and who He loved.
1 Kings 3. Solomon asked for wisdom to guide the people of Israel. His goal was simply to serve God’s purposes and not to become a big or high and important person. This is the wisest person in the whole world, I am showing you how he became such. What Solomon said pleased the Lord that Solomon has asked for this thing. That means that there are prayers that don’t please the Lord, He just answers because you asked. Solomon asked for wisdom and discernment to lead His people and God was pleased with this, think about that.
God said unto him because thou have asked for this thing and not for long life, nor riches for thyself and you’ve not asked for the life of your enemies but have asked for yourself judgement to understand, I will give you this and much more. His love for God was proved by his love for God’s people and His love for His work. It is never about you, it’s about finding answers for people, making life better for people. Your business is not just so you can have food on your table, it’s so you can help hundreds of people to have food on their table. A Christian business must be more than just making profit, you cannot be relevant that way. You must rise as a deliverer, as a blessing to the nations. I believe someone’s business is rising as an arch of deliverance for many in this nation. The wisdom of God can not be consumed for personal gain.
Obadiah 1:20-21 says saviours shall rise out of Zion. Who are those rising as saviours in this place? You know how you are rising; it is through wisdom. Someone, say this, my business, my ministry, my assignment is an arch of deliverance bringing deliverance to this nation. The deliverer is rising, the saviour is rising. You will provide an arch of safety to a dying world.
Father in the name of Jesus, let this image of a deliverer be indelibly imprinted in the hearts of everyone under my voice. I release the grace for global relevance in the name of Jesus.
James 1 says the doer of the work is the one that is blessed. What is the work? The work is to keep that image of the word before you. The world may suggest otherwise but keep the image. What I do is not who I am. Who I am is what I carry. Keep the image, do the work. No matter what life throws at you, keep that image. God bless you.
