TEACHING SERIES
FOCUS: WISDOM OF GOD

Wisdom can be said to be knowing the will of God and doing the will of God.
Wisdom can also be defined as obeying the Word of God.
Wisdom can also be defined as following the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit.

“And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.”
Exodus 23:25-27

The Wisdom of God can be acquired through diverse means.

We can choose to obey God in one thing and reap the benefit of that obedience in every area of our lives.
God commands us to serve Him and He will take care of everything that concerns us from divine protection to healings, to breakthroughs, to fruitfulness, to prosperity, to provision…with only one thing, we can get everything we need in life.
Praise The Lord!

How Do We Acquire Wisdom

We can acquire the Wisdom of God through diverse means.

1. Fear and reverence for God.
   Fear here does not connote negativity but a feeling of awe, reverence, honour and admiration for God.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.“
Proverbs 9:10

2. Hunger for Wisdom.
   When you genuinely hunger for wisdom, the Lord will give you wisdom.

“Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.“
Proverbs 2:3-5

3. Prayer of Faith
   Another way of acquiring wisdom is by praying for wisdom.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.“
James 1:5-6

4. The Word of God.
   Jesus Christ is the Word of God, He is also the wisdom of God. The more we study the Word of God the more wise we become.

“But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:24

We bless God who kept and preserved our lives since the beginning of the year 2025 to November. Many challenges of our lives we have overcome through His love and faithfulness. It is the Lord’s mercy that we are not consumed because His compassion fails not Lamentation 3:22.

In the month of November, our focus is Wisdom

We shall be looking at Wisdom in the personality of “Jesus Christ “, our saviour

According to 1Corinthians 1:30, But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. (KJV)

The scripture above said, Christ Jesus is made unto us Wisdom, we shall be looking unto this under the Holy Spirit guidance.

According to Message version “Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 1:30.

This version refers to Wisdom as right thinking and right living. Therefore, the wisdom we are referring to here is a life to live.

Many times when we are asking or praying for wisdom, it is always narrow down to the quality of having experience or knowledge. We don’t see it as a personality to be carried inside us,

The bible says “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16. The same bible also says

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. John1:14.

Therefore, the Word is the same as the Wisdom and as well as Jesus as evident in the scriptures quoted above.

The same bible said,” Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7. To be principal means is the first in order of importance

As children of God, Wisdom- Jesus is the first in order of importance in our lives

How do we get this Wisdom (Jesus)?

On a daily basis, God gave us opportunity to get wisdom, unfortunately the devil made us to see this opportunity as problems and attacks. Every challenges encountered by any child of God is an opportunity to live for Him. One definition of Wisdom according to Proverbs 4:7a “The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent] (Amplified version)

To be skillful is to be a mastery over a thing. For instance, a person is a said to be an expert after gaining a mastery through intensive training on a job. In fact, there is need for re-training from time to time to ensure that the expertize are still relevant.

The more problems he/she can solve makes him/her expert on the job. Solving problem builds one’s capacity. The same go with the Christians. We cannot build capacity if those challenges we complain about do not come our way. How can we say we have the fruit of the Spirit when there are no challenges to bring about cultivating them.? for example patience, how can one say he/she is patient when he/she has not been put under pressure? we could only cultivate patient when situation comes our way and we wait on God’s timing irrespective of the pressure to do otherwise.  The more we yield to God i.e. the more we obey His instruction, the more of Christ we become and this is Wisdom.  Wisdom is right thinking and right living; we could only achieve this by diligently obeying His instructions on every situation that come our ways. Therefore, the next time we are face with challenges of lives, financial crisis, sickness, delay in answers to prayers, marital unrest etc. These are opportunities to become more like Him (Jesus-Wisdom). The bible says “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7a). We are what we think, hence forth, let us think right and live right; this is wisdom (Jesus)

Benefits of Wisdom

The benefits of Wisdom are inexhaustible, but let us see just a few from the word of God

 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools. Proverbs 3:35. “we are God’s heirs and fellow heirs with Christ, if we really suffer with him so that we can also be glorified with him. Romans 8:17. There is glory for the wise, it is wisdom to choose to obey God, even though we may suffer some things in this world, the word of God said so that we can be glorified with Him. Glory awaits us as we live for Him.

Ecclesiastes 10:10b “…but wisdom is profitable to direct. One of the ingredient for living is direction, a man or woman who lacks direction in life will suffer and yet not arrive at his/her destination. The wisdom of God gives us direction (guidance), this means we are progressing in the right direction and we are confident to arrive at our destination as ordained by God

In Conclusion, Jesus has been made wisdom for us, it is wisdom to use every situation we are passing through to live for Him. May the Lord help us as we yield all our situations to grow in the likeness and image of Jesus (Wisdom)

TEACHING SERIES
FOCUS: DIVINE HEALTH

God does not want any of his children sick. That is one of the reason why He sent Jesus Christ into this world to die for us.

“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: …
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:4-5

The truth is that once you are born again, you have no business with sickness and disease but for this truth to work for you, it is essential that you walk in the knowledge of the Word that guarantees your healing.

“They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”
Psalms 82:5-6

Also, the Bible says in Hosea 4:6
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:“

The devil is behind every sickness and disease.
If you are born again and you do not know how to insist on your right, the devil will afflict you with sickness.
So it’s important for you to know what your rights are in redemption.

Why should I live in divine health

1. You should live in divine health because God did not create your bodies for sickness and disease.
2. When you live in divine health, you manifest the glory of God.
3. When you live in divine health, you are separated from darkness and because you are no longer in darkness, the hold of the devil over your health is broken.
4. When you live in divine health, you reflect the finished work of Christ.
5. Another reason is because your body is the temple of The Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ purchased your body with His blood. He already took you away from the atmosphere of sickness and disease. How do I live in Divine Health
6. Be born again. The first step to living in divine health is accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. 2 Corinthians 5:17
7. Studying The Word of God. The Word of God is light, as the light of God enters your spirit consistently, darkness will not be able to have a hold on your body. John 1:5
8. Prayer also plays a vital role. When you communicate with God consistently, you will radiate the glory and power of God.
9. Be consistent in the place of worship. Attend fellowship of believers, be in church for services. Obadiah 1:17
10. Speak positively. Speak faith filled Words. Avoid spending derogatory words and words of death into your life

DIVINE HEALTH 

For better understanding of Divine Health, we’ll first define the meaning of Health.

Definition of Health:

Health is a multifaceted concept that encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being. It’s not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete well-being.

Some key aspects of health include:

1. Physical health: Nutrition, exercise, sleep, and disease prevention.
2. Mental health: Emotional well-being, stress management, and mental illness support.
3. Social health: Relationships, community connections, and social support.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. 

Key Aspects of Health include:

1. Physical health: Nutrition, exercise, sleep, and disease prevention.
2. Mental health: Emotional well-being, stress management, and mental illness support.
3. Social health: Relationships, community connections, and social support.

DEFINITION OF DIVINE HEALTH:

Divine health is a concept often associated with faith and spirituality. Many believe that through prayer, faith, and a connection with a higher power, individuals can experience physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

According to Bible, is for you to live in divine health—with energy and vitality, at a healthy weight, sleeping well, with a clear mind and the confidence to go along with it.

7 Keys to Divine Health:

There are varying perspectives on the seven keys to divine health, but the core principles revolve around faith, obedience, and the promises found in the Bible. Different Christian leaders have identified and taught these principles, including Kenneth Hagin, David Oyedepo, and Emmanuel AnuOluwatomiwa. 

Based on their shared teachings, here are seven commonly cited keys to achieving and maintaining divine health:

1. Faith in God’s Word

A foundational principle of divine health is believing in the healing promises in God’s Word, such as Exodus 15:26, where God declaredly himself “the LORD who heals”. By having unwavering faith that God’s Word is true, you can create an atmosphere for miracles and healing to occur. 

2. Confession of the Word

Speaking God’s promises aloud, or confessing them, is believed to reinforce faith and activate healing power. Biblical teachings state that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21), so consistently speaking declarations of health can align your words with God’s will and lead to healing. 

3. Obedience to God’s commands

The Bible connects obedience with divine health. Exodus 23:25 states, “You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you”. A life of obedience, which also includes walking in love and repenting of sin, is seen as essential for maintaining a healthy relationship with God and receiving his blessings. 

4. Prayer and fasting

Prayer is a direct channel for communicating with God, and fervent, persistent prayer invites his healing power into your life. Fasting is a way to intensify prayer and demonstrate dependence on God for divine intervention. 

5. A joyful heart

A cheerful and thankful heart is considered good medicine. Proverbs 17:22 states, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones”. Cultivating joy and gratitude strengthens your body and mind and promotes overall well-being. 

6. Receiving the Holy Spirit

Believers are taught that the Holy Spirit residing within them guarantees divine healing and health. Romans 8:11 says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you“. The indwelling Holy Spirit is seen as a source of supernatural strength and vitality. 

7. Stewardship of the body

The body is considered the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) and is meant to be honored. This involves making wise and healthy lifestyle choices that promote well-being, such as:

• Proper diet
• Rest
• Exercise.

Some aspects of divine health include:

1. Physical healing: Restoration of physical health through faith and prayer.

Different faith traditions and beliefs approach divine health in various ways. Some may emphasize:

1. Faith healing

2. Prayer for healing

3. Spiritual practices (meditation, fasting)

4. Holistic approaches (integrating physical, emotional, spiritual well-being)

Some people believe that divine health is a promise from God to provide healing and wellness for those who have faith. Others see it as a holistic approach to health, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Some key aspects to consider:

1. Faith and prayer: Many believe that prayer and faith can lead to healing and wellness.
2. Spiritual practices: Meditation, fasting, and other spiritual practices can contribute to overall well-being.
3. Community support: Support from a faith community can provide emotional and spiritual support.

Others may view divine health through the lens of:

1. Mind-body connection: The connection between mental and physical health.
2. Holistic health: Integrating physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

The Principles of Divine Healing:

You are to boldly affirm His word. Boldly proclaim God’s Word over your life, reinforce His promises and align your heart with His will. Say, “By His stripes, I am healed to” (Isaiah 53:5). Consistently speaking God’s Words reinforces your trust in Him and paves the way for healing.

Verses on “divine health” often point to God as the source of healing and wholeness, with examples including Exodus 15:26 where God declares, “I am the Lord, your healer“, and Isaiah 53:5 which states, “by his wounds you are healed“. Other verses emphasize faith, prayer, and obeying God as paths to health, such as Proverbs 4:20-22 stating that God’s words are “life, and health to all your flesh”, and James 5:16 highlighting the power of prayer for healing. 

Here are some key Bible verses related to divine health:

God as Healer:

Exodus 15:26: “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes… I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you”. 

Psalm 103:3: “…who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases”. 

Healing Through Christ: 

Isaiah 53:5 (also cited in 1 Peter 2:24): “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds you are healed”.

Faith and Obedience:

Proverbs 4:20-22: “My son, pay attention to my words, incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh”. 

James 5:16: “…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective”. 

God’s Promises of Restoration: 

Jeremiah 30:17: “‘For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal,’ declares the LORD“.

Prayers for Healing:

Psalm 6:2 “Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are shaken“. 

Jeremiah 17:14 “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are the one I praise”.

Conclusion

In summary, divine health is a holistic concept of well-being centered on faith-based healing and harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. It complements the pursuit of physical health with spiritual devotion to attain alignment across all aspects of one’s being. For religious individuals, divine health marks the fulfillment of God’s promises of blessing and restoration.

Healing through prayer, lifestyle stewardship, and grace cultivated through scripture and worship allows maintaining peak health of a sanctified spirit in an earthly vessel. Though not mandatory for redemption, divine health principles allow believers to find wholeness and engage in righteous living. By exploring its biblical basis and integrating its practices, people of faith can enrich their journey towards spiritual and physical wellness.

TEACHING SERIES
FOCUS: PRAYER

Prayer is the spiritual lifeline of a Christian. Without prayer, a believer has no relationship with God.

Prayer is giving your attention, dedicating some of your time to God daily in a two-way spiritual relationship where you talk to God, and God talks back to you.

As children of God, the best way to relate with God is talking to him and listening to Him. We can only talk to God through prayer.

Jesus Christ made us to understand that prayer is a must, not an option. Mark 11:24, Matthew 6:7
