From the Pastor's Desk

“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 3:10

Congratulations, and welcome to another blessed week!
Two weeks ago, we began a series titled "What Wisdom Is This?" and so far in the series, we have established that divine wisdom is essential for making right decisions, navigating the complexities of life, and fulfilling our God-ordained destiny. We further discovered that understanding who we are in redemption is critical to walking in divine wisdom.

Continuing with the series, I would begin by saying that we are in the Last Days - the era of the manifold wisdom of God - and God is unveiling dimensions of wisdom that will distinguish His people, silence the wisdom of this world, and demonstrate His supremacy on the earth (Acts 2:14-17/Eph. 3:8-11).

The manifold wisdom of God is expressed through supernatural innovation, creativity, and inventions (Prov. 8:12/1 Kings 4:29-34); life-transforming revelations that humble the pride of the world (Micah 4:1-2/Ps. 87:1-7); supernatural strength for great exploits (Prov. 24:5/Dan. 11:32/Rev. 5:12); and the full manifestation of the divine nature in believers (2 Pet. 1:4/Mark 1:22-28).

How then do we access this dimension of wisdom? We must develop a deep quest for the outpouring of the Spirit of wisdom (Matt. 13:54/Eph. 3:8-11), crave the enduement of the Spirit of love through deeper revelation of the unlimited power of God's love (1 John 4:16-18/Eph. 3:17-19), and crave the baptism of the Spirit of Christ, represented by the seven Spirits of God that make men of quick understanding (Isa. 11:1-3; Rev. 5:6).

These include the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. Because we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, we are entitled to His spiritual DNA to operate in His realm (John 17:18/Rom. 8:17/Heb.2:11).

The days ahead demand uncommon wisdom, so as I sign off this week, I pray you will become a living expression of God's manifold wisdom, bringing divine answers to earthly problems wherever you are.

May the wisdom from above distinguish you in every sphere of life!
