Dedicated to helping everyone learn, believe, practice and experience God's words. Christian Church

Topic: Understanding Godly wisdom (Part Four).

Wisdom primarily comes from God's word. This means the more of God's word we know and practice, the wiser we become.

However, there are other channels through which we can learn wisdom. The following are these practical channels:

1. By asking God through prayer (James 1:5). Whenever we need God's wisdom, we can ask Him for it. According to our text, He won't deny us. In fact, He will give it to us abundantly as long as we don't doubt (1:6). So, the next time we need wisdom, just ask God.

2. By following instructions (Prov.8:33). Wisdom comes by simply knowing and following instructions. As long as the instructions are godly, whether it is about a moral issue or generally right, we will be acting wisely by following them.

3. By observing and learning from nature (Prov.6:6). If we make time to study nature, we will gain wisdom from it. God created the world by His wisdom. Creation has God's wisdom written on it. Observing and learning from nature is therefore one way to gain wisdom.

4. By keeping company with wise people (Prov.13:20). We are consciously or unconsciously influenced by the company we keep. So, if we deliberately keep company with wise people, especially if we observe and learn from them, it is a matter of time before we become wise people.

5. Lastly, we should listen to and accept corrections, advice, and discipline (Prov.15:31; 19:20). If we accept corrections and discipline when we are wrong, we won't repeat mistakes. We would act rightly thereafter. Advice helps us avoid mistakes. This is how we receive wisdom to live rightly.

Conclusion
Prayer: Father, please help me so that I make use of your different channels of receiving your wisdom

Topic: Understanding Godly Wisdom (Part Three)
Text: Psalm 19:7

In our previous teaching, we noted that the fear of God sets us on the journey of wisdom. Today, we shall see that knowing and practicing godly instructions is living wisely.

Our text, Psalm 19:7, teaches that "The Law of the LORD" is capable of "making wise the simple". In other words, knowing and doing God's laws will make us wise people. Many years before this Psalm from David, Moses taught the people of Israel that knowing and doing God's instructions will make them wise people to other nations (Deut. 4:5-6).

Samuel, the prophet of God, said that King Saul had "done a foolish thing" because he had "not kept the command" God had given him (see 1 Sam. 13:13). On the other hand, Jesus taught that whoever heard His words and put them into practice "is like a wise man" (Matt. 7:24).

All these show clearly that if we want to be wise people, then we must learn and practice God's instructions.

Prayer: Father, please, help me so that I can learn and practice your instructions more and more, for this to live wisely.

Shalom!

Topic: Understanding Godly Wisdom (Part Two)
Text: Prov.9:10

Aside from God, everybody and everything has a beginning. Our text clearly tells us where (when and how) godly wisdom begins. It begins with the fear of God.

In other words, in the journey to get godly wisdom, where it all begins is to fear God. Whoever, does not practice the fear of God, cannot get God's wisdom. This is where it must all begin. This is the school of wisdom's starting point.

What does it mean to fear God? We are again clearly told the answer in Prov.8:13. To fear God simply means to hate evil. It means we must hate whatever God calls evil. We must have absolutely nothing to do with it.

To show how true it is that having the fear of God means to hate evil, we are told of Job who is said to have "feared God and shunned evil" (Job 1:1).

So, dearly beloved, do we really want to be wise people according to God's perspective of what wisdom is? If yes, then this is where we must all begin..fear God by hating evil.

Prayer: Father, please help me so that my hatred for evil keeps growing stronger so that I can keep traveling along the path of your wisdom.

Shalom!

Topic: Understanding Godly Wisdom (Part One)
Text: Prov.3:13-15

Introduction:
There is no sane person who would not want to be wise. It is a good compliment when anyone is referred to as being a wise person. In both religious and non-religious circles (eg Folktales) wisdom is always presented as being a good virtue.

Our text, makes this pointedly clear. Whoever finds wisdom is a blessed person. Wisdom is highly profitable. Wisdom is unparalleled in value. In fact, there is nothing anyone can desire that can be compared with wisdom.

Take note that this text is referring to godly wisdom or the wisdom that comes from God. Since this is so, and this kind of wisdom (as we would get to later, there is another kind of wisdom) is so important, it is definitely a good thing for anyone to understand more about this wisdom, seek for it and once found begin to make appropriate use of it.

These are the reasons for the series of lessons we will be exposing ourselves to as we go through this learning journey. May God from whom this wisdom proceeds, teach and bless us as we continue, Amen.

Shalom!

Welcome to 2026

Thanks be to God for carrying us through another calendar year and into the new one, 2026. As usual, there is so much excitement about the new year. May God grant our good desires.

Let's begin the year with a teaching on OBEDIENCE. Today, let's specifically look at the topic: UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL OBEDIENCE.

What does the Bible teach about obedience? A summary of the Bible's teaching on obedience is responding rightly to godly instructions. So, whenever anyone responds to a godly instruction rightly, as far as the Bible is concerned, obedience has taken place.

This definition of obedience has critical features.

1. Biblical obedience is not responding to instructions. It is responding to godly instructions. This means that a person can respond to an instruction and still be disobedient in God's perspective. For instance, God warned the Israelites not to respond to the instruction from a prophet to worship other gods because such an instruction isn't godly. This is despite such a prophet being accurate in his previous predictions and even working miracles (Deut . 13:1-3).

2. Obedience is not responding to godly instructions alone. It is responding rightly to such an instruction. This is very crucial. The response to the instruction must be the right response. Saul responded to God's instructions through Samuel to destroy Amalek. However, his response was not done rightly because he did not do exactly as instructed. God called it disobedience (1 Sam. 15:1-23).

So, as we journey through the new year, let's be mindful of the instructions we are receiving. Let's ensure they are godly instructions. Let's be mindful of our responses to these instructions. Let's ensure we are doing as required. When we live this way, we are living in obedience to God as taught in the Bible.

Shalom!

My Christmas Day Message

Five of the best ways to live during the Christmas period.

We see a lot of extreme negative behaviors during the Christmas period. Drunkenness and sexual immorality just to mention a few. While many believers in Christ won't indulge in such extreme negative behaviors, we usually do not make the best use of this period. So, here are five of the best ways we can live during this period.

1. Don't neglect the spiritual disciplines that contribute to growing in Christ. The Christmas period shouldn't lead to a slow or end to praying, reading the scripture and church meeting attending.

2. Reflect on the goodness of God and people we have experienced in the course of the year. Then genuinely appreciate God and such people. No question about it, God and people have been good to us in the course of the year. This period is a good time to remember and sincerely appreciate God and such persons as have been good to us.

3. Use this period to prepare for the next year. Prepare spiritually by asking God for His guidance. Prepare financially by saving rather than excessive spending. Life doesn't end at the end of the year.

4. Be a channel of blessing to others according to the capacity God has given to you. Share with others whatever you have. Share especially with the less privileged. Put a smile on someone's face.

5. Lastly, reflect on lessons learned in the course of the current year. Resolve to apply these lessons in the next year. Remember past mistakes and the lessons learned. Prepare not to repeat the mistakes. Remember also past successes. Prepare to improve on them.

Let's not live as fools but as wise. Let's make the most of every season (Eph. 5:15-16).

Merry Christmas 🎄

Knowing what to do and doing what is known are two different things.

In the journey to success, knowing what to do is the beginning point. It is where it all begins. Celebrating this stage is good. It is not enough though.

We must move on from this point to doing what is known. It is only when the gap between knowing what to do and doing what is known is properly bridged that success is an ever-near destination.

Remember, it is not those who hear the word alone (knowing what to do) that are blessed. If we stopped at knowing what to do, we would only deceive ourselves.

It is those who hear and then do what is heard (keep doing what is known) that are blessed. So, today and beyond, be glad about what you know. Bridge the gap between what you know and success by doing what you know.

Message Title: Supernatural Prosperity through Divine Ideas

Speaker: Pst Alphonsus

Message Summary:
When God wants to prosper His people, He sometimes uses the means of Divine ideas.

What is a Divine idea?
A Divine idea is God telling us how to do a thing and when we act accordingly, we experience unusual prosperity. For instance, God can tell us how we should go about what we are doing now to earn money. When we do likewise, it will result in unusual prosperity.

Biblical Example of Divine Idea: It was through the means of Divine Idea that God prospered Jacob when he was at Laban's house. Jacob came to Laban's house empty-handed after he ran from home. He worked 14 years just to get his two wives. Laban cheated him ten times (Gen. 31:6). Yet, because of one idea from God, Jacob became more prosperous than Laban (Gen. 30:25-43; 31:10-12). May we have experiences of Divine Ideas in Jesus' name.

Divine idea is necessary: We need Divine ideas because God's knowledge, understanding, and wisdom are infinitely more than ours. God knows what is best for us, including how best to go about doing things that will result in our prosperity (Isaiah 48:17).

Conclusion:
Let's ask God for the following:
1. Lord, please give me the ideas I need to prosper
2. Lord, please as you give me ideas, help me to know, accept, and act accordingly
3. Lord, according to your word, as I act on your ideas, cause me to experience supernatural prosperity in Jesus' name.

Shalom!
