Topic: Unveiling the Ever-Winning Weapon of Wisdom (Part 2A)
Speaker: Bishop David Oyedepo
When you disregard the place of wisdom, you lose many battles. Every battle of life is first won internally. You can’t win the battle outside without first winning the battle inside.
Mark 7:21-23: For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
You are either filled with godly thoughts or filled with evil thoughts. Every evil thought you don’t bring into captivity will make a captive of you. Hence, you are ultimately what you think.
When you win the battle in your mind, you enter into your rest.
There is no strategy other than the Word of God to win the battles of the mind; therefore, keep your heart in the Word!
Proverbs 4:22: For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
To win the war of the mind, God’s Word must dwell in your heart richly.
Colossians 3:16: 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.
Whatever you cannot imagine, you cannot make happen, and what you believe is what you experience.
Mind your thoughts; they either make you or break you.
It is not the Word you hear, read, or study that renews your mind, but the Word you receive.
Every Word truly received renews your mind, propels you to action, and brings about transformation. Seeing through the eyes of the scriptures and believing what you see secures your glorious future and establishes your generations.
Whenever you say ‘I don’t think so’ to any truth of the scriptures, you are simply saying you don’t believe it. It is only what you believe that you can experience. As you believe so, you start to behave so.
How To Cultivate Winning Thoughts
- Be committed to studying and searching the Scriptures.
Proverbs 4:20: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
- Consciously guard the loins of your heart from anti-covenant thoughts.
1 Peter 1:13: Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1 Chronicles 21:1: And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
3. Engage the prayer altar to free your thoughts from all satanic interferences.
- Engage the blood of Jesus to purge your thoughts from failure, setback, and defeat.
Zechariah 9:12: Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
- Let the Word form your new thinking pattern.
Philippians 4:8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Giants don’t emerge overnight; they emerge over time. Go through the process so you can arrive at the throne.
Covenant Family Day Ministration
Our God is a covenant family lover, and when He blesses, His blessings outlast generations.
Genesis 7:13: In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
Genesis 45:18: And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
To secure God’s blessings on your family:
- Recognize that God wants you and your household saved.
Genesis 31:16: For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
Acts 10:24: And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
God is interested in the salvation of your soul.
- Stand in the gap on the altar of prayer for the rescue of your family from generational curses.
Psalms 56:9: When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
Isaiah 42:22: But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Make a list of the unbelievers in your family and present them before God in prayer.
- Enter into a covenant to serve God, to put an end to satanic siege.
2 Chronicles 15:15: And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
Get committed to the renewal of your covenant-stand with God.
Anointing Ministration
- The anointing is a hidden secret weapon for healing, deliverance, and breakthrough.
- The anointing contains the Spirit of the Lord in action.
- The anointing heals all manner of sicknesses and diseases.
1 Samuel 16:13: Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
- The anointing brings about a turnaround in all aspects of life.
1 Peter 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
- The anointing renders your enemies helpless.
Psalms 91:5-6: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
The holy anointing oil is one of the hidden weapons of war that can silence the wickedness of the wicked.
2 Chronicles 22:7: And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
By the anointing today, God is turning your captivity around and setting you free.
