Prayer
Lift up your voice and bless the Lord. We obtain wisdom as we pray in the Holy Ghost. As we pray, there is an alignment happening. We are aligning ourselves with the perfect will of God. We are receiving superior wisdom. This is how you pray, you declare the word of God, then you send it forth in the spirt by praying in the Holy Ghost. Begin to declare the scriptures on wisdom back to the Lord. This is the time of the church; the world will come to the church searching for answers. The answers will be found in the house of Petra. Everything we are seeing today is by inspiration. I want you to lift your hands to the Lord and say I am full of the spirit of wisdom, expressing itself through my life in creativity, superior creative ideas and craftmanship. I gain skill, talents and abilities I did not study but gained by the Spirit of the Lord. This year my creative works and ideas shall be celebrated. You will be full of the spirit of wisdom and craftsmanship. The spirit of wisdom will be beside you as a master craftsman.
Prophecy
The Lord has commanded me to bless. In the year 2024, you will enter generational wealth. By the reason of the wisdom of God, what takes 20 years to build, you will build in 1 year. No one under the sound of my voice is ordinary or average. The things you have heard and the things you know of that you never ever connected yourself to, wisdom is elevating you this year. Wisdom is promoting you this year in the name of Jesus. Nobody under the sound of my voice escapes this in the name of Jesus. Now celebrate and thank God for this.
Exhortation
Wisdom is not a side blessing; it is the blessing. The bible says that with all things, get wisdom. Wisdom is the principal thing. You must desire wisdom and not just see it as a prayer point. The greatest enemy to any man is his ignorance. Be desperate for wisdom, it is only when you seek wisdom with desperation, that it will come to you. Say with me a greater than Solomon is here. God is raising people in this house in places of relevance and significance, and it is for the gospel.
True wisdom always has a direct effect on the works of your hands. Wisdom is always connected to wealth. When you study Solomon’s life, do you wonder how he became wealthy. The bible says Solomon offered 1000 burnt offerings and by reason of this, God appeared to him and asked him what he wanted.
The first way we know Solomon entered some wealth and prosperity was due to his father being a wealthy man. However, the bible was silent on this as one of the ways Solomon became wealthy. Solomon may have had access to material things and money via inheritance, but no one has access to wealth via inheritance. It is not the things added to you that makes you wealthy. The bible was silent on this fact because the source of wealth was not by his inheritance but by wisdom. Wealth is obtained by wisdom.
Another way is through the taxation system of Israel. However, again, the bible did not list this as a way Solomon obtained his wealth. Let’s look at 3 sources of Solomon’s wealth tonight.
Three (3) sources of Solomon’s Wealth
1. Commerce and trading. Not miracle money. Nobody becomes wealthy by miracle money. 1 Kings 9.26 showed that Solomon by wisdom built a very robust system of commerce and trade. Through wisdom is a house built. 1st Kings 10:22. Solomon was a businessman; you can’t study the life of Solomon without seeing his business acumen. You must start desiring to build. Stop looking for increase of customers, stop seeking miracle money appearing or people giving you money. Instead, start desiring to build. Wisdom builds from the ground up.
2. Another source we see were gifts, honorarium and consultation fees. People paid for the wisdom he had. 2 Chronicles 9:1. In essence, you must package your wisdom into products that can be bought. Queen Sheba came to see Solomon to investigate his wisdom and she came with gifts. Men will pay you for your wisdom. Nations will pay you for your wisdom. You know you can speak for 5 mins, and they can pay you 10 million naira. You need the sophistication to package the wisdom that God is giving you. 1 Kings 10 says, and all the earth sought to Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart and they brought everyman his present. Men can pay you for your wisdom.
3. Retainerships. 1st Kings 4:21. This shows the strategic alliance Solomon had with kings. Wisdom comes from above, but it is interpreted by the mind. Wisdom is imparted into your heart, but you need to study in order to interpret it in the way it’s supposed to be interpreted. God can be saying the same thing and 2 people can hear this and interpret in different ways. Your mind must have the ability to capture what God is saying and interpret accurately. You must make up your mind to develop yourself. As we are pouring ourselves into prayer and fasting, we must also pour our souls into research and studies.
