Commanding the Blessings through Wisdom

In Christ we drink of the fountain of wisdom, for in Him is hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. So when we come to Christ, we have come to meet with the source of wisdom which make life profitable. In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. -Colossians 2:3 It takes the hidden treasures of wisdom in Christ to live in and enjoy the blessings God. But to search the hidden treasures of wisdom in Christ we must be willing to learn from Him. It takes learning to gain access to the wisdom of Christ. This is why Jesus personally invited us to learn of Him. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  -Matthew 11:29 It takes learning to gain wisdom, and applying our hearts to the gained wisdom helps us maximizing the blessings of God. This why David prayed God to teach him His ways. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. -Psalms 90:12 Until we are ready to be taught, we are not ready to for wisdom. This because wisdom deals with knowledge and understanding. Knowledge and understanding comes through learning. This means the treasures of wisdom are revealed through learning. What is Wisdom? Before we look out how to command the blessing through wisdom, let's see what wisdom really is. 1. Wisdom is knowing what to do in order to get what you want according to the will of God.  And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. -John 6:6 2. Wisdom is applying the knowledge of God's word in order to experience the blessings of God. 3. Wisdom is knowing HOW to do things in order to achieve a desired result. The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. -Ecclesiastes 10:15 4. Wisdom is applying the revelation of God's word in handling the issues of life. 5. Wisdom is following the leading of the Holy Spirit. So you see, wisdom has to do with knowing WHAT, HOW, of doing things. You are regarded as a wise man when you know what to do to solve the issues of life. Now, WHAT are we to do to command the blessings of God in our lives? Some persons have asked me how did get so blessed within a short time in ministry. These are my answers to them. Wisdom 1. Honor the Lord with your substance joyfully. Proverbs 3:9-10 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. We stand qualified for the plenty and bursting out blessings of the Lord by simply honor Him with our substance. God said, he that honors Him, He will honor.  Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. -1 Samuel 2:30 You cannot honor the Lord with your substance and first fruit and He deny you His blessings. Your honor of Him with you first fruit is the wisdom path to commanding His blessings. A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? -Malachi 1:6 Until we are ready to please Him by honoring Him, we are not ready to be satisfied with His blessings. Everyone around me knows that nothing I have is too big to be given to the Lord. I have been privileged to give my first N1.8million to God and never have a feeling for. Wisdom 2. Honor Your Biological Parents Ephesians 6:2-3 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Whether you know it or not, your biological parents are instrument of God's blessings upon your life. God honors their pronouncement over your life. To command the blessings of God, wisdom demands that you honor your biological parents. They don't need to be rich and beautiful before you honor them. Do don't even need to be good before you do that. Just honor them according to the word of the Lord, and they will pronounce blessings upon you. With this pronouncement, God will see to it that you are truly blessed. Oh, what a blessed day when my biological father, blessed my life. It was on February 12, 2002. He said, my son, you shall be great. He said this more than seven times. And I tell you the truth, it is coming to pass. Isaac to Esau, get me some venison which love and my soul shall bless thee before I die. You must get your parents some venisons to provoke the blessing God has kept in your soul for you. The parental blessings of Jacob upon Joseph is still standing till this date. Don't be too civilized to forget honoring your parents. Wisdom 3. Honor the priest Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. -Ephesians 6:1 We are to honor God, and our parents. And also the priest of God. There is an extent parental blessings will go. But that of the priest can be go extra mile. Why should we honor the priest, God answered it Himself. And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house. -Ezekiel 44:30 The priest has a commandment to cause the blessings of God to rest in your house. The Macedonian church had this understanding and the blessed Paul. And Paul said, my God shall supply all your needs. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:19 Whenever you sow into the life of God's servant, they pronounce blessings upon you. And God will watch to confirm the words of His servants. Boy, men of God has spoken to my life. And their blessings are really. These are wisdom path to command the blessings.
