Wisdom for Creativity by David Ibiyeomie

Topic: Wisdom for Creativity

Wisdom is knowing what to do and doing it at the right time. Divine wisdom comes from God and it is superior to “common sense”.

Proverbs 8:12 (KJV) I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Creativity is having the ability of engaging your mind in productive thinking to create or establish new and original things that were not in existence. It is becoming a solution using your mental revolution.

Psalms 144:1 (KJV) Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Wisdom for creativity is divine wisdom working in your mind to be able to break old records and see new ones. It is the divine enablement to do a common thing in an unconventional way. Every child of God is endowed with creativity but for it to become effective, creativity has to be stirred up. This can be done through:

1. Linking up with the Holy Spirit. He is the personality for creativity with us today.

Psalms 104:30 (KJV) Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Philippians 2:13 (KJV) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

2. Thinking inventive thoughts: Everybody thinks but your thoughts have to be productive for positive results. You are a product of your thoughts so your mind should be used as an effective tool for creativity.

Philemon 1:14 (KJV) But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

3. Be innovative: Never meet an assignment and not improve on it. You cannot be creative except you are innovative and you cannot be Innovative and not be productive.

Proverbs 4:18 (KJV) But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

4. Engage in periodic quiet meditation: Creative people do not stay in rowdy environment. God cannot talk to you when you talk too much. Maintain outward and inward quietness as it enables you think effectively.

Psalms 16:7 (KJV) I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

5. Associate with great thinkers and innovators: Environment affects achievements. No relationship leaves you neutral. It either influences you negatively or positively. If as an eagle, you settle with chickens, you will be reduced to their level. Sit with high fliers to gain height in life.

Proverbs 27:17 (KJV) Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

6. Engage in prayer of enquiry: Divine instruction is superior to divine intervention.

Hebrews 7:7 (KJV) And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

7. Go for relevant information:

Daniel 9:2a (KJV) In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years,

Joshua 1:8 (KJV) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

As you take conscious steps towards unleashing creativity, the results of a creative mind will be evident in you and distinguish you in Jesus Name- Amen!

God bless you

Topic: Exceedingly, Abundantly, Above & Beyond [Joyce Meyer Devotional 1 November 2018]

Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. — Romans 12:11

When I pray about or simply meditate on all the people who are hurting, I have a strong desire to help them all. I sometimes feel that my desire is bigger than my ability, and it is—but it is not bigger than God’s ability!

When the thing we are facing in our lives or ministries looms so big in our eyes that our mind goes “tilt,” we need to think in the spirit. In the natural, many things are impossible. But in the supernatural, spiritual realm, with God nothing is impossible.

God wants us to believe for great things, make big plans, and expect Him to do things so great it leaves us with our mouths hanging open in awe. James 4:2 tells us we have not because we ask not! We can be bold in our asking.

Sometimes in my meetings people will approach the altar for prayer and sheepishly ask if they can request two things. I tell them they can ask God for all they want to, as long as they trust Him to do it His way, in His timing. It is untold what people can do—people who don’t appear to be able to do anything.

God does not usually call people who are capable. If He did, He would not get the glory. He frequently chooses those who, in the natural, feel as if they are in completely over their heads but who are ready to stand up on the inside and take bold steps of faith as they get direction from God.

We usually want to wait until we “feel ready” before we step out, but if we feel ready then we tend to lean on ourselves instead of on God.

Know your weaknesses and know God—know His strength and faithfulness. Above all else, don’t be a quitter.

Prayer Starter: Oh, Lord, help me to make you bigger in my eyes and believe You can do the impossible in my life. Help me to live with “God confidence,” and trust You to do things that are above and beyond what I even think I deserve. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 1 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Destroying the Garment of Failure

TOPIC: Destroying the Garment of Failure (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 1 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 4:29-34

MEMORY VERSE: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” – 3 John 1:2

The MESSAGE:

Many believers suffer failure at the edge of breakthrough because they do not do what God expects of them. It is the will of God for every Christian to be prosperous. However, believers experience failure because of their ignorance. To destroy this garment of failure, you must ask God what He wants you to do and make sure you do them. I pray for you, that the garment of failure in your life shall be destroyed, in Jesus’ name.

We can see from 1 Samuel 1:8-9 that Hannah was failing at the altar of prayer. She later decided to destroy the garment of failure on her and made use of the weapon of covenant making to succeed. In the book of Daniel, Daniel prayed mildly and obtained no result. It was as if he was a failure in the temple of prayer, but he later decided to put off the garment of failure and made use of the weapon of persistence to obtain victory. Mordecai, Esther and the Jews living in a strange land were about to fail but Esther changed her mind and her fellow Jews joined her to make use of the weapons of fasting to gain victory over the enemies.

Elijah was almost failing but thank God for the weapon of fire he called down to disgrace the prophets of Baal. They were not only disgraced but also destroyed. In the case of Gehazi, he could not use any of the available weapons; therefore, he failed woefully at the altar of prayer. The staff of Elisha in the hand of Gehazi did not work at the altar of prayer, but the same staff worked for Elisha. It seemed Gehazi was putting on the garment of failure that manifested as covetousness and greed. He refused to remove the negative garment and ended up failing completely and consequently received the gift of leprosy.

Effective prayer is specific and brings result. It flows and works with the Holy Spirit and brings testimony. Have you been praying without result? Do not give up; all you need is the right weapon to remove the garment of failure at the altar of prayer. Choose an effective weapon today after the order of Hannah, Daniel and our Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be victorious. At the altar of prayer, seriousness, faith, hope, patience and aggression are the needed ingredients for result to manifest. Pray using the available weapons to destroy the garment of failure in your life and you shall never remain the same.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
THE PERSON WHO NEVER ASKED AND THE PERSON WHO PRAYED THE WRONG PRAYER ARE BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER.

PROPHETIC WORD:
You shall not fail at the altar of prayer after the order of Elijah!

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. I destroy every garment of failure and ignorance in my life by fire, in Jesus’ name.
2. Agents of failure targeted at my prayer altar, what are you doing there? Die, in Jesus’ name.
3. As I go out today, environmental powers saying no to my prayers, I silence you by fire, in Jesus’ name.

EVENING
4. Anything in my foundation that does not want me to pray to my God, die, in Jesus’ name.
5. Garment of failure on me at the altar of prayer, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
6. Anointing for prayer success, manifest in my prayer altar, in Jesus’ name.
7. All my prayers, gather together and be converted to miracles, in the name of Jesus.
