Matthew 6:2, Proverbs 2:1-7,1:20-27

1.Delivers from fear and makes one confident (Psalm 112:7-8, 64:10, 25:12, 27:1-4, Proverbs 1:33)
2.Protection and  preservation (Proverbs 2:8, 4:6)
   Preservation comes from the wisdom of God.
3.It delivers (Proverbs 2:11-16 )
4.Length of days (long life) (Psalm 91;16, Proverbs 3:2, Genesis 6:3, Proverbs 3:2)
   No matter what you’re facing don’t terminate your life by your wrong confession.
   If you don’t have wisdom of thanking God for where you are, you’ll always be discouraged because you keep comparing yourself to others.
   If we were thankful for the things we complain about, things would change very quickly.
   Joshua 1:8
5.Favor (Proverbs 3:4, 4:8, 8:35, 11:16 ,Luke 2:52)
   Increase in wisdom is increase in favor.
6.Health, healing and vitality (Proverbs 3:8)

Psalm 25:1-2,5,8-9
There is a path ordained by God where you will never suffer shame if you walk in it.
Meekness is a prerequisite to be guided in the ways of God.
The meek admit that they cannot make it in life without walking in God’s ways and therefore they seek for God’s guidance.
Our plans are no match for diabolical wisdom, we’ll be beaten clean without the wisdom of God.
Ephesians 1:21-22, Mark 6:2, 1 Timothy 2:3, Acts 26:18, 
Diabolical wisdom produces power and divine wisdom generates power too.
Power is released when we acquire revelations from the word of God.
The wisdom of God demands that you have to declare the word of God, for that is how you chart your way forward (Luke 21:15, Isaiah 51:15)
Say what you want to see around you and not what you see around you.
1 Corinthians 2:5-8, Deuteronomy 34:9, Psalm 25:14, Proverbs 25:2, 1 Corinthians 2:7, Job 29:3-4, Job 1:1-3,9
When God shows you his paths you’re showcased to your world.
Wisdom is to be searched for through the spirit and the word, and sought for in prayer (Proverbs 24:13-14, 2:4)

Divine wisdom has two primary sources:
1)direct impartation by the spirit of wisdom (Deuteronomy 34:9,2 Timothy 1:7)
   The spirit of a sound mind is the spirit of wisdom.
    A sound mind is a wise mind.
   Wisdom is accompanied by knowledge and understanding whenever it is imparted upon a person (1 Kings 3:11)

2)the word of God (2 Timothy 3:15, Psalm 119:97-98, John 10:35)

There are there types of wisdom : earthly (intellectual wisdom we acquire though study and natural wisdom that we are born with) wisdom, devilish wisdom and wisdom from above (wisdom from God, divine/supernatural wisdom)
Wisdom from above causes a person to rise above anything they can face in life.
Genesis 3:3, 6-8
Throughout the ages God and satan have been battling for the minds of humans with regards to which type of wisdom they submit to.
Proverbs 4:7, 11, Ephesians 1:18
Understanding is the opening of eyes.
When you see what is being said you have come to a point of understanding.
Wisdom is the ability to anticipate the outcome of an action.
Wisdom is the correct application of scripture to real life applications.
Wisdom gives safety (Proverbs 3:16-17)
Wisdom is receiving what God says and applying it to your life.
Wisdom from above is unbeatable, don’t depend on your intelligence or understanding.
1Corinthians 2:6-7
The wisdom of God is concealed,  therefore you need the opening of eyes to be able to look into it.
The foundation of the wisdom of God is the fear of God (Job 28:28, Daniel 2:28)
The wisdom of God works wonders.

John 3:27, James 1:17, 1 Chronicles 29:24, Philippians 4:15, Genesis 39:21, Genesis 6:5
You can not allow your mind to be anywhere it wishes to be, you have to actively manage it.
Your mind is the pacesetter for your destination.
Whatever you allow to be the centre of your attention you have allowed to master you.
Genesis 11:6-7
There’s no impossibility until it exists in your mind.
When what you think and what you talk are in agreement, you’re unstoppable.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6, Ephesians 6:12-16, Proverbs 4:23
If you win in life it’s because you have won in your imagination.
God gave us our mind to either magnify or minify our experience.
If you want to change your feelings change what you feed your mind with.
Philippians 4:8
Don’t feed your mind what you don’t want it to reflect on, through what you say, hear, and see.

Genesis 13:14-15, 26-27, 2:7
The spirit world appears unreal to those who are so accustomed to the physical world.
To form (yatha in Greek): squeeze into shape, to mould into a form (especially as a potter).
Imagination: Formulation of mental pictures of something that is neither perceived as real or present to the senses.
Imagination is the creative ability God has placed in given beings.
Your mind doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality.
We as humans have only used a fraction of our imaginative capabilities yet we have invented so much to date.
If you don’t take charge of the imagination your mind will be creating realities that you don’t want.
Your imagination will create an experience for you.
Genesis 13:14, Romans 4:13-17, Joshua 1:3-4, Genesis 17:5
You may not be responsible for where you’re today but you’re responsible for where you’ll be tomorrow, use your imagination.
What happens in the mind will happen in time.
Whatever you can sustain in your imagination you can do.
Genesis 31:1-10, 2 Kings 7:3
You need to feed your imagination with what you want to create, and stay focused on it.
We have massive potential for creativity in this generation but life will not freely give us the atmosphere where that creativity can thrive.
Creativity and thinking require an atmosphere.
Social media is a thief of creative  atmosphere, you have to get away from all those distractions in order to think. 
Use social media for meaningful activities.
You need to create  time to think ( focused, critical thinking not aimless thinking).
Pick a subject in your imagination and stay on it.
You need to create alone moments to allow yourself to think. Your creativity will never thrive if you don’t do so.
The world will do everything to rob you of an atmosphere to be creative.
Many people never move past the realm of knowledge into understanding.
Societal thinking also hinders creativity, many people are always looking to see what everyone around them is doing and hang around that same level.
It is God’s duty to bring to me what I’ve imagined.
Just like we look at photo albums and our imaginations are activated ,if you turn prophecies  into pictures  that will serve as  your photo
album for tomorrow.
An empty mind during prayer is a waste of time, no wonder we have so many prayer warriors without results.
Don’t go to pray if you have not yet located the focus of your prayer.
You cannot think poverty and expect riches.
Don’t let mind limiters such as “I’m too young”, “I’m too old”, “I’m in the wrong country”, and many more to set limits on what you can achieve.

Ephesians 2:9-12, Isaiah 49:8
You don’t pay or pray to be royalty, you’re born into it.
when God helps you, humans have no choice but to help you.
The purpose of the covenant is to establish God’s purpose on the earth and cause you to inherit what God has for you.
God’s part of the covenant is guaranteed, circumstances not withstanding; so all you have to do is keep your end of the covenant.
Take actions of faith that are in line with what God has said in the covenant.
Psalm 126:1-6, Genesis 8:22

What does sacrifice do?
1.God swears blessings at the altar of sacrifice (Genesis 22:6)
   When God swears a blessing all struggles are over.
2.Termination of curses (Genesis 8:20-22)
Your sacrifice is what will activate the blood of Jesus to speak on your behalf to neutralise curses.
3.God gives supernatural wisdom (1Kings 3:5, 4:29-30)
   Solomon accessed wisdom at the altar of sacrifice.
4.It stops plagues (2Kings 24:24)
5.God releases supernatural wealth (1Kings 3:13)
6.God gives honor (Psalm 112:12-13)
7.All needs are met (Philippians 4:15-19, 2 Chronicles 15:11-13, Psalm 111:1-5)
   If you don’t do the same things others are doing don’t expect the same results as them.

Jeremiah 8:1,7, Proverbs 18:1, Matthew 4:4
The devil is a deceiver, to beat him you need revelation.
Only revelation beats deception.
The cure for deception is not just truth but revealed truth (revelation).
1 Kings 3:17, Revelation 4:1-2
If we do not understand seasons and times we’ll miss our times of visitation.
1 Chronicles 12:32
Your visitation may not come at a time that you think is appropriate, it might come at a time when several things are demanding for your attention.
1 Samuel 30:1-8, 31:6
David playing a guitar so that the demon could stop tormenting Saul was one of the hardest tests that he had to face. He had to look at the throne he was supposed to sit on and help the man he was supposed to replace day after day.In all this he behaved himself wisely.
God is not motivated by tears but by faith.
Nobody can be visited by God without a sober mind.
God wants to visit you when it looks like you’re faced with so many disappointments and nothing seems to work out in your favour.
God doesn’t choose to visit us at times that are convenient to us, hence why we must be ready all the time.
Luke 19:42
Sometimes the visitation of God might be hidden in an instruction (Genesis 22:2)
There will never be a time when all you hear is God’s voice exclusively without hearing satan’s voice suggesting things to you.
As long as you’re on earth there will always be a contest of voices.
The devil loves to take people out of position when he senses increased divine activity around people’s lives, so that they can miss what God has for them.

Genesis 18:1-5, 21:1-2
Before God does something he sends forth His word.
God doesn’t speak for entertainment, he speaks for a specific purpose.
God visits according to His word, He first sends His word then visits to perform what He said in His word.

What should you do if you’re to be visited by God? [Genesis 18:1-9]
1)You must be prompt to act
2) call on God and let Him know you want a visitation
3)be hospitable to others
   You might not know who the person you’re mistreating  is connected to.
   Treat people fairly and with kindness.

Acknowledge God’s hand even in the things that night seem little to you, you might be looking for k10 million and God provides k50, you should appreciate Him for that.
The main aim of Divine Visitation is to terminate satanic activity in a person’s life, especially those that have been long standing.
A season of divine visitation is a season of  heightened awareness of God’s presence.
Divine Visitation is accompanied by diverse manifestations of God (Genesis 12:1-3)
Every divine Visitation will result in divine manifestation. Genesis 21:1-6, Luke 7:13-16

What happens when God visits?

1.Fulfilment of promises and prophecies take place (Genesis 21:1, Jeremiah 27:22, 29:10)
2.An outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 3:19)
This brings refreshing and empowerment to God’s people.
3.Divine help and provision come into play (Ruth 1:6, 1Kings 3:5-13)
4.Restoration of inheritance and homecoming (Jeremiah 29:10)
5.God terminates pain and acts on behalf of His people ( Exodus 4:31)
6.Long standing problems are resolved easily (Job 10:12, Psalm 106:4-5)
7.A release of favor (Exodus 3:21)
8.Prayers are answered (1 Samuel 2:21)
9.Deliverance is inevitable no matter the bondage (Exodus 3:16, Luke 1:78-79)
10.Turning of every form of captivity (Zephaniah 2:7)
11.Salvation takes place (Luke 19:11, Psalm 106:4)

13.Victory (2 Chronicles 20:20-25)
14.Judgement of enemies (Numbers 16:27-30,Genesis 18:20-21, Acts 12:21-23)
15.Miracles take place (Luke 1:26-31)

Genesis 40:20-23,  41:1,12
You can only have a desire to come out of a situation that you refuse to accept.
You must refuse to accept any situation you might be in that does not line up with the will of God for your life.
Conversations change seasons.
Be careful who you choose to  believe.
The voice of the enemy might not come in a way that you expect it to, making it even harder to detect
God places us among people that he would use as vessels to communicate a particular message he might have for us at a particular point in time.
Be very careful how you relate with people, some people only want to relate to those that can offer thek something in the present.
It is a default  human reaction to want to treat those that seem like they have a lot of material wealth better than those who don’t seem to presently have.
You will not have divine visitation of there is no conversation concerning you, conversation will lead to visitation.
When the butler had a conversation with Pharaoh concerning how Joseph had interpreted a dream, it triggered Joseph’s divine visitation and change of season.
You don’t need to be in the palace or corridors of power in order for  things to change in your life, you just need someone divinely orchestrated by God to have a conversation about you in those places.
Even favour is triggered by conversations (Ruth 2:11).

Dedicated: to be committed, devoted, obligated to the doing of something , donated, sold out to a cause at a cost
Mark 4:24, Luke 8:18
You will not be a candidate for what you do not have a hunger for from God.
Hebrews 6:12
You will only be made if you’re a follower.
Define what you’re in church for,  whether you’re there just for a miracle or you want your entire destiny to be moulded.
It’s not enough to just serve God for one day.
Acts 10:1-2, Galatians 6:9
It is dedication that results in our distinction.
Dedication is costly (John 10:17-18)
In your dedication to God you’ll have to give up certain things that are in conflict with the area of your dedication.
Serving God is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.
You’ll only win in your walk with God if you’re consistent. (Matthew 24:46)
Consistence in your dedication to God applies to every area in which you serve God.
satan knows that you’ll not see results if you don’t do a good thing consistently.
You’ll face resistance whenever you want to be consistent in your dedication to God.
Matthew 26:58. Habakkuk 2:3
It is God’s nature to be consistent (Malachi 3:6, Revelation 1:8)
Serving God for life regardless of circumstances must be everyone’s target in life and ďestiny.
Rewards are not given for starting a race but for finishing it.

What does it take to serve God consistently?
1.Do it as if you’re the only person around ( 1 Corinthians 3:9)
  Maintain your individuality so that you’re not offended by the behaviour of others
2.Serve God with patience and endurance (Jeremiah 6:16, Galatians 6:16, Matthew 24:12)
3 Maintain your joy (Habakkuk 3:18, Hebrews 12:1-3)
  When joy dries up many people give up on their service.
  It is joy fast kept Jesus running till the end of his race.
4.Connect with divine help ( Acts 26:22, Hebrews 12:28)

What are the benefits of stewardship?
