Introduction:
The Prophetic Place Of Wisdom
There is an eternal purpose in the heart of God that is being effected today.
This purpose has been concealed until now. The time for the revelation of this
mystery is now and God is bringing His programme on earth to an end.
Every revolution in human history, has always been a product of one form
of ideology or the other. This time around, a revolution is about to hit the earth, not through an ideology but through the arrival of a new breed of people,
…a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations…And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise
the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joel 2:2,26
Since creation, the wisdom of God has always been visited upon the earth
through human vessels. The Bible is rich in examples of feats of exploits and
conquests through the manifestation of the wisdom of God by such vessels.
Each time these human vessels operated on the wisdom of God, there was
always a lifting, a shooting up, and a rising to glory. Every shooting up into
prominence of God’s people has always been on the platform of wisdom.
Amidst the degradation and frustration of his time; Abraham, by this wisdom, knew what to do and ended up making it. Isaac too, following God’s wisdom, sowed while others were eating up their seeds, and became an object of envy to the heathen. He made it. He was lifted from poverty and penury to the position of the wealthiest man in his generation.
Jacob, manifesting God’s wisdom through an unusual insight, learnt how
to breed cattle according to his needs. His too was a success story. Joseph was
promoted from the dark dungeon of Egypt’s prison to the throne. All these feats were accomplished through the exercise of wisdom. It is absolutely clear from the foregoing that every personal or social revolution is traceable to a peculiar insight or a strange idea called a revelation. Truly, we live in a world that is ruled by IDEAS; profound and profitable ideas make the kings of the earth.
Behold, a new wave is coming unto the planet earth. The trumpet is
sounding; the sound is certain. The wisdom of God in all its infinite variety is
visiting the earth. This time, it is not going into the hands of a chosen few, but
the church of Jesus is going to be the custodian of its divine provision.
This is God’s eternal purpose: to make His church reign on earth through
the operation and manifestation of the manifold wisdom of God (Ephesians
3:8–11). The core ingredients of this manifestation will be promotion, honour
and long life for the church. God has purposed it and He will do it.
For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it?
and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Isaiah 14:27
Of the glory of His church, the Word says;
Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God…all my springs
are in thee
Psalm 87:3,7
God will manifest this glory through the instrumentality of wisdom; not of
the world, but of divinity, God’s creation tool (Proverbs 3:19) in which is found
the ingredients of length of days, riches and honour, pleasantness, peace and
happiness (Proverbs 3:13–24).
Who are the candidates in His church for this outpouring of glory? The meek; the teachable in spirit. Jesus Himself, the Wisdom of God, said; I am meek and lowly in heart.
Matthew 11:29
The meek will receive wisdom and through it, inherit the earth.
The time of wisdom is the time of glory; the reason being that wisdom and
wealth always go together. The God who owns heaven and earth is at the same
time the only wise God. King Solomon, the wealthiest king ever on earth is also
the wisest king that ever lived. If the wisdom of God is here with the church,
then the glory of God is come unto her. The unending riches of Christ wealth
which no human being could have searched out; wealth which no human being could have known; wealth which even Solomon in all his glory knew not, is going to be manifested by the church! The heathen will marvel, principalities
and powers will be amazed. This is God’s plan for the hour.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God… To the intent that NOW unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.
Ephesians 3:8–10
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was granted graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending riches of Christ which no human being could have searched out. Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until NOW in God….That through the church, the complicated, many–sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic
rulers and authorities.
Ephesians 3:8–10 (Amplified)
The Holy Spirit is going to do the releasing of this end time explosives on
God’s people for:
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9–10
This deposit of wisdom in us remains as time–bombs! Here are the prophetic lines for its explosion. This “complicated, many–sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety, and immeasurable aspects” is now to be released as explosives through the Church!
The earth will tremble; a new wave of supernatural inventions is in stock.
The Josephs and Daniels of the end time are here! Enlist now; it’s a new day!
The word NOW in Ephesians 3:10, signifies a timing scheme. It connotes a
programme of time–schedule. Thank God the fullness of that timing is NOW!
The Holy Spirit is handicapped to carry out this function without the use of
the mind of God’s people because, the life of God is directly linked to the
mental ability of man Thus, the Holy Spirit, as powerful and mighty as He is, cannot Himself undertake the work of the mind; He only operates through it. And that is the purpose of this book: to awaken God’s people to the limitless possibilities God has invested in their minds; to teach them to release their minds to the wisdom of God. This is the only way to attain that position of glory which God has reserved for His people this end time. I pray that the Holy Spirit, the distributor of God’s wisdom, will open your minds as you read, to receive your portion of that wisdom.
