Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Today our scripture reading comes from Daniel, chapter 5.
Speaker 1: We are reading from verse 10 up to verse 17.
Speaker 1: The theme this month is Impartition of Uncommon Wisdom, spirit-led Foresight Daniel, chapter 5, picking a couple of verses there and then I share under that subject.
Speaker 1: This is what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: The queen, hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall.
Speaker 1: May the king live forever.
Speaker 1: She said Don't be alarmed, don't look so pale.
Speaker 1: There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him in the time of your father, referring to Nebuchadnezzar.
Speaker 1: There, he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods.
Speaker 1: Your father, king Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.
Speaker 1: He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems.
Speaker 1: Then the queen mother said call for Daniel and he will tell you what the writing means.
Speaker 1: So Daniel was brought before the king.
Speaker 1: And the king said to him and I want to say here and common wisdom will bring you before kings, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: So let me repeat so Daniel was brought before the king and the king said to him Are you, daniel, one of the exiles my father, the king, brought from Judah?
Speaker 1: I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.
Speaker 1: The wise men and the enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it.
Speaker 1: Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems.
Speaker 1: Can read this writing and tell me what it means.
Speaker 1: You will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Speaker 1: Let me say another statement Uncommon wisdom will bring you promotion, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Then Daniel answered the king.
Speaker 1: You may keep your gifts for yourselves and give your rewards to someone else.
Speaker 1: Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means.
Speaker 1: This is the word of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that you now speak to us.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.
Speaker 1: We may have our seats.
Speaker 1: Impartition of uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: From the scriptures that I just read Daniel, chapter 5, verse 10 to verse 17.
Speaker 1: As I get into the scriptures.
Speaker 1: I want us to celebrate Reverend Ambrose Nyangau.
Speaker 1: He's in the house.
Speaker 1: Let's give a hand to the Lord.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Glory to God.
Speaker 1: Three areas wisdom from above.
Speaker 1: Second, wisdom in the now and thirdly, wisdom reworded.
Speaker 1: Let me first begin by giving you a broad context within which this subject is dealt with.
Speaker 1: There is a memo from heaven, a memorandum, a memo which is a short note with a message.
Speaker 1: There is a memo from heaven and this memo lands in the palace of the king, where the king was seated together with many other nobles, and they were having a party.
Speaker 1: It was a banquet.
Speaker 1: There were 1,000 plus, there were very many, and the king had thrown this big party.
Speaker 1: Then, suddenly, there is a trespass, there is a sovereign intrusion.
Speaker 1: There is a memo that shows up on one of the plastered walls, and this memo is written by a supernatural hand, written by a supernatural hand.
Speaker 1: The king can see the hand, the king can see the writing, but the king cannot, does not understand, can't understand what the writing is about.
Speaker 1: And so the hand is there in space, the fingers are writing on the plastered wall and there are words being written there Mene, mene, tekeo, mene, mene, tekeo.
Speaker 1: The words are being written on the wall.
Speaker 1: The king cannot understand Now, in his drunken stupor, because what they were doing?
Speaker 1: They were actually having a party and they were drinking, and the king had called for the sacred vessels from the temple that were brought in by Nebuchadnezzar to be brought to the party so that they, can you know, drink with the golden and silver vessels that came from the temple.
Speaker 1: And so he must have been probably drunk.
Speaker 1: And in his drunken stupor he sees this writing and he must have shaken his head, cleared his eyes, cleared his eyes, trying to wonder am I really seeing right what is actually going on in this particular space, and that is in the courts of the king?
Speaker 1: I'll just read some verses for us to catch that context.
Speaker 1: They are from the Bible, daniel, chapter 4, verse 4.
Speaker 1: I mean chapter 5.
Speaker 1: Sorry, chapter 5, verse 5.
Speaker 1: Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall near the lampstand in the royal palace.
Speaker 1: The king watched their hand as it wrote.
Speaker 1: Now his face turned pale because this wasn't really normal.
Speaker 1: Face turned pale because this wasn't really normal, and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and something funny or interesting now follows and his knees were knocking.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard your knees knocking?
Speaker 1: Now the king is having his knees knocking each other.
Speaker 1: He was terrified.
Speaker 1: He was pale.
Speaker 1: He was really, really afraid.
Speaker 1: Then, in verse seven, the king summoned the enchanters, astrologers and diviners, and these were considered the wise men in Babylon.
Speaker 1: Then he said to these wise men of Babylon whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple quite an incentive there and have a gold chain placed around his neck and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Speaker 1: What an offer.
Speaker 1: And so you can imagine what these diviners, magicians, astrologers and enchanters you know, kept trying to do in trying to figure out what the writing on the wall was.
Speaker 1: But none, none of them, none of them, none of them among them was able to do the reading of the writing on the wall or even to interpret it.
Speaker 1: None of them.
Speaker 1: But I thank God that there is somebody called Daniel who is coming, who will settle the riddle.
Speaker 1: My prayer is that God raise Daniels in our families, god raise Daniels in our cities, god raise Daniels in our cities, god raise Daniels in our nation and God raise Daniels in our continent, and it doesn't matter the problem or the challenge, somebody will crack it, because God is working through that somebody.
Speaker 1: So if you're in an organization and you sit in boards of organizations, whatever problem has been on the table the last one month I want to decree that somebody, rising from this church, following this service online and also in the pavilion, somebody in our midst is going to crack that problem that has been on that board table for so long without a solution.
Speaker 1: Is somebody receiving that Daniel Rising Within the context of what I call sovereign trespass?
Speaker 1: And that is, you know, god has discretion and God shows up anywhere, any place, any time, because space and time belong to him and he is, you know, the creator.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, like a movie, like a television, on a plastered wall, there is a writing mene, mene, tekel parsin, and this is a writing that none of the wise people of the whole of Babylon could actually crack.
Speaker 1: But, thank God, we have a Daniel, and I am praying for the young people of Africa, because the stage is set for you, the stage is actually set for you in the continent of Africa, and the stage is set for you so that you can rise and so that you can crack these problems and you can actually provide solution.
Speaker 1: I know one of the biggest prayers of Pastor Ambrose is that we may be solution-minded or solution mindset, and that is very, very critical.
Speaker 1: I thank God for Daniels who are actually rising Now.
Speaker 1: This kind of wisdom that cracks riddles is called uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: It is uncommon because nobody else has it, but there is somebody that is going to show up and somebody who is going to make a difference.
Speaker 1: It's called uncommon wisdom and I want to share three things about it.
Speaker 1: It is a wisdom from above, it is a wisdom from God.
Speaker 1: I want to say that God has a mind, god has an opinion, god has, he has a word to say For every situation, for every setting, for every challenge.
Speaker 1: God has a thought process and God has an opinion, has a thought.
Speaker 1: We live in a world that is dark, a world that is waiting for a wise statement, a world that is waiting for a wise person, and that person becomes like a light you know, is like a candle or like a light in a dark world.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you sit in the board meetings and the issue is being discussed.
Speaker 1: You have the solution inside you, but because of fear and I thank God for this scripture we have right now this year, from the book of Timothy that says God has not given us.
Speaker 1: What A spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.
Speaker 1: Somebody goes through a generation, through a season, through a board meeting.
Speaker 1: God has put something in you and even when the meeting or the season was going on, something was burning within you and that something was what was needed.
Speaker 1: But actually, within that period and season, you never raised it up and later you live with regrets and say I wish I knew If I had said this, then that airplane would not have crashed.
Speaker 1: I wish I actually raised my voice and I said what was inside me.
Speaker 1: And therefore, within families, within marriages, within businesses and business situations, in the marketplace, within career progressions and paths, and also within the workplace, just like in the palace, there needs to be a divine invasion of wisdom.
Speaker 1: There needs to be something showing up and there needs somebody to rise up and begin to say in this family we have been stuck this long.
Speaker 1: God has spoken to me in my heart and he's saying this is the way we should go.
Speaker 1: We have been going the wrong direction, but actually this is the way we should go.
Speaker 1: God has an opinion and God has a thought, and the way he works is this when he wants to express himself in a city or a nation or a family or a neighborhood, he walks through an individual, he walks through a person, and I thank God for Danielle.
Speaker 1: I just want to read verse 10 up to verse 12 and listen to what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: The queen this is the queen mother, the mother, probably to the king, hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall.
Speaker 1: May the king live forever.
Speaker 1: She said Don't be alarmed, don't look so pale.
Speaker 1: There is a man, there is a solution here.
Speaker 1: There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him.
Speaker 1: In the time of your father, he was found to have insight.
Speaker 1: Those are the words of wisdom.
Speaker 1: There is insight, intelligence, wisdom like that of the gods.
Speaker 1: Your father, king Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and also diviners.
Speaker 1: You see, god invests in people so that he can express himself through people, and God will guide and shepherd his nations and also his people through people and therefore he deposits his wisdom, the mind of God, the mind of Christ.
Speaker 1: He deposits his wisdom in people.
Speaker 1: And when we keep quiet, when we don't say a thing, then we allow a diversion in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1: For example, when people have come to crossroads.
Speaker 1: And today we live in a situation where, especially for the young generation, the options are so many and the offers at every point of decision-making or making a choice.
Speaker 1: There are so many offers from internet and everywhere and they are coming from left, right and center and sometimes it's difficult to know which direction am I going to go.
Speaker 1: But I want to say this God is dwelling in us and at that crossroad, at that intersection, at that place where somebody listening to me, you have been lost and wondering which way do I go?
Speaker 1: At that particular point there is wisdom from above and Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit who would come and be with us and then he would walk with us.
Speaker 1: When you read actually in the book of John, you will find in chapter 16, the issue of the Holy Spirit, verse 7 to verse 13.
Speaker 1: You can read later John 16, verse 7 to verse 13.
Speaker 1: And he said another will come and it's good that he goes because he's sending another and his name is the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: The para kaleo, the para klitos, the one para kaleo is called.
Speaker 1: Para is parallel.
Speaker 1: He's the one called alongside and he's the one who would come and walk with us and guide us.
Speaker 1: And when you get at the intersections of life, then you'll hear a voice saying don't go this way, go that way.
Speaker 1: Some people have called it the sixth sense.
Speaker 1: And somebody says I just feel funny about this, I just feel that I shouldn't do this business, I just feel I should not enter this contract.
Speaker 1: And there's a voice inside you know, the Holy Spirit right there.
Speaker 1: Just this week I had somebody come to my office and tell me Pasi, I have been called two million shillings.
Speaker 1: And you know, in our time two million shillings is not little.
Speaker 1: And this person had also brought in other people around the same enterprise, whatever the matter was, and it was very, very convincing, very, very convincing on the table, very, very inviting.
Speaker 1: And so they put their money there.
Speaker 1: And as soon as they had put their money, suddenly that address closes, the phones are shut and the money is gone forever.
Speaker 1: I pray that nobody cons you, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: May every conning spirit be chased out.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, may you be covered from conmanship.
Speaker 1: And you know so this wisdom from above.
Speaker 1: You are there doing your business.
Speaker 1: You're wondering should I invest here.
Speaker 1: Should I invest this way?
Speaker 1: Should I marry today or should I marry five years down the road?
Speaker 1: Should I get married to this one and not the other one?
Speaker 1: And sometimes the offers on the table are so many and the voices show up.
Speaker 1: Actually, pastor Regan, voices tend to show up at those particular points.
Speaker 1: They are very, very pregnant with attendance to those particular points.
Speaker 1: They are very, very pregnant with attendance to those particular moments, pastor Ambrose, and decision-making therefore becomes quite a tough call and there is wisdom from above.
Speaker 1: And therefore, 1 Corinthians 2, verse 9 and 10, just to remind us, 1 Corinthians 2, verse 9 and 10, in order to have the mind of God and download the mind of God, you need to connect with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: We are talking about spirit-led foresight, spirit-led foresight this month.
Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit, however, as it is written, what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived, the things God has prepared for those who love him, these are the things God has revealed to us.
Speaker 1: That word revelation, you could underline it, and this is a work of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: It's from inside, inside, you know has revealed to us by his spirit.
Speaker 1: Now, look at this.
Speaker 1: The spirit searches all things, in other words all disciplines, across the spectrum of things.
Speaker 1: There is nowhere you will not meet God and there is nowhere God doesn't have a thought and an opinion, and there's nowhere God cannot shepherd you or direct you.
Speaker 1: The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Speaker 1: For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them?
Speaker 1: In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Speaker 1: And so he goes on to talk about the speech that he makes.
Speaker 1: But the point I'm making here is this there is wisdom resident around us, above us, and that wisdom we can plug into it.
Speaker 1: I am praying that we plug into God's wisdom Now.
Speaker 1: There is a wisdom of the astrologer, and if you look for astrologers, you will find them.
Speaker 1: They will give you stories and the stories will look very nice.
Speaker 1: There is a wisdom of the diviner, there is a wisdom of the sorcerer and there is a wisdom of the enchanter.
Speaker 1: And all these people are also available in cities, in villages, in neighborhoods, and they have ready suggestions.
Speaker 1: And oftentimes people go there and you pay lots of money, just like I gave you a case of people being conned and you end up going the wrong way and you realize, three years down the road, five years down the road, ten years down the road, that was not a wise decision, but it is maturing with time, the fact that it was not a wise decision, and so you reach a place and it's like what happened.
Speaker 1: Therefore, involve God immediately, don't wait any longer.
Speaker 1: In fact, james, chapter 1, verse 5, says if any person lacks wisdom, pray.
Speaker 1: You know, ask for this wisdom.
Speaker 1: James, chapter 1, verse 5.
Speaker 1: If any one of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all.
Speaker 1: He's very generous without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
Speaker 1: What kind of wisdom do you need right now?
Speaker 1: Where are you at in life?
Speaker 1: In your own personal audit of appraisal, how do you see your decision-making process and the choices you've made?
Speaker 1: What and what do you want to do going forward?
Speaker 1: In the first service, the one who led the prayers, decon Dike Shingiri.
Speaker 1: He used the scripture Isaiah 43, verse 18 and verse 19,.
Speaker 1: That says forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: See, I'm doing a new thing, don't you perceive it?
Speaker 1: Our God is a God of refreshment, he's a God of new beginnings, he's a God of new thing, don't you perceive it?
Speaker 1: Our God is a God of refreshment, he's a God of new beginnings, he's a God of new starts, and that wisdom that you're looking for is in God's hands, by God's spirit, through his word, and you can pray where you are and God will give you the wisdom you're looking for.
Speaker 1: Somebody is looking for wisdom about a matter.
Speaker 1: God has it and he's saying just simply pray, I'll give it to you.
Speaker 1: But secondly, not just wisdom from above, but wisdom in the now.
Speaker 1: There is wisdom available, but that wisdom is needed now.
Speaker 1: Something needs to be done, it needs to be applied.
Speaker 1: In Daniel, chapter 5, from verse 13,.
Speaker 1: This is what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: So Daniel was brought before the king and the king said to him are you, daniel, one of the exiles my father, the king, brought from Judah?
Speaker 1: I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.
Speaker 1: The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it.
Speaker 1: Now I have heard that you're able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems.
Speaker 1: If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, because of the wisdom and common wisdom God is giving you by his spirit and through his words, you will enter royal courts.
Speaker 1: You will come before kings.
Speaker 1: They will look for you.
Speaker 1: You won't have to struggle.
Speaker 1: They will look for you because of that wisdom that you have.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing that even when we are children growing up Pastor Ambrose, maybe you identify with this I grew up partly in Nairobi, born in Nairobi, but went to the village for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: I ran away from home for about seven years and for many reasons, but while there, of course, I managed to connect with the grandparents and I started as a young little boy growing with the thinking of a grandfather yes, and the thinking of a grandmother, and you can imagine the kind of person you end up becoming.
Speaker 1: And while your age mates are doing what they do, you feel these guys, what they are saying, is not making sense, and slowly you start being set apart just by the fact that you have this kind of wisdom.
Speaker 1: That is actually setting you apart, and you know, over time then I would have some of the older people keep inviting me to come do one or two things.
Speaker 1: One of them would be to write letters, because then somebody speaks, a mzee, talks to you and then tells you first of all greetings.
Speaker 1: You write first of all greetings and when you see the mother tongue you can imagine first of all greetings and then this mzee.
Speaker 1: Even where they get annoyed, in the letter you are hearing do-me's because the son has not sent money for quite a while and the Mzee is kind of upset.
Speaker 1: But you are there at that table and you are writing all those stories.
Speaker 1: So I started knowing do-me's.
Speaker 1: Nyingi, sana Zawatwengi.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, uncommon wisdom will take you to royal courts and even kings will open up to you.
Speaker 1: Kings will open up to you and they'll begin to say I have this problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have this problem.
Speaker 1: It's a national problem and I'm praying that out of this community here that God raises wisdom and common, such that national issues, yes, shall be cracked by the wisdom coming from this place.
Speaker 1: We talk about traffic jams, this young generation.
Speaker 1: God can give you a thought, an idea.
Speaker 1: You know intellectual property.
Speaker 1: Call it intellectual property.
Speaker 1: God can give you a thought, an idea.
Speaker 1: You know intellectual property.
Speaker 1: Call it intellectual property.
Speaker 1: God can give you a thought, he can give you an idea and you crack the traffic jam problem in Nairobi.
Speaker 1: We have a conventional thinking that you have to do more roads, you have to do C3 what?
Speaker 1: But God can give you an idea, even within the context of this close-up place, a city, and people get stuck in their vehicles for hours and we lose so many man hours and people get upset, they get irritated, they're not getting to their destinations in time.
Speaker 1: But the wisdom to solve traffic jams is here.
Speaker 1: Is somebody believing me?
Speaker 1: Is somebody receiving Young people?
Speaker 1: Are you receiving this, among the young generation especially?
Speaker 1: The wisdom to solve traffic jams is actually here.
Speaker 1: Africa has many other challenges and many other problems, but instead of waiting for somebody else to solve this, I believe we can pray today that the knowledge, the understanding, the wisdom needed to crack these problems is actually released here.
Speaker 1: You know, we have declared this month the month of impartation of our uncommon wisdom, spirit-led foresight, and we have done it so that we can begin to plug in and connect and God chooses you to become a Daniel in our season and you begin to resolve matters.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, god can give you an idea that will change your world.
Speaker 1: And when you get that idea, they will pay you for it.
Speaker 1: Imagine that.
Speaker 1: And when they pay you for it, invite Pastor Simon Museme.
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon, you mentioned it sometime.
Speaker 1: God has done it.
Speaker 1: And we sit in that restaurant, across that table, and we just, you know, sample the success and the victory.
Speaker 1: And we are there saying look at what the Lord has done.
Speaker 1: Daniel is present.
Speaker 1: Therefore, the problem will be solved, and we are present.
Speaker 1: The church is present.
Speaker 1: Therefore, the problem will be solved and we are present.
Speaker 1: The church is present in Kenya, the church is present in Africa and therefore, the problems shall be solved.
Speaker 1: What was it?
Speaker 1: It was a writing on the wall, verse 25.
Speaker 1: This is an inscription that was written.
Speaker 1: This is an inscription that was written mene, mene, tekel, parsin.
Speaker 1: Those are the words.
Speaker 1: They are writings on a wall, verse 25 of Daniel 5.
Speaker 1: Now here is what these words mean.
Speaker 1: May this spirit of understanding and revelation and knowledge descend upon somebody right now, in the name of Jesus, who is able to enter a meeting where they are stuck and say this is what all of this means, you know bringing light where there is darkness.
Speaker 1: Mene, god has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Speaker 1: That is Mene.
Speaker 1: Tekel, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Speaker 1: And then peres, which is the same as parsin.
Speaker 1: Peres is the singular, parsin is plural Peres.
Speaker 1: Your kingdom is divided and given to the maids and passions.
Speaker 1: So Daniel cracks the riddle.
Speaker 1: It's no longer a riddle because it's now cracked and he has provided the solution.
Speaker 1: You know, the asset that children, kingdom people, are to the nations can never, never be overstated.
Speaker 1: We are what the world is looking for.
Speaker 1: In Isaiah 60, verse 3, the Bible says nations will come to your light and kings to the rising of your dawn.
Speaker 1: Nations will come to your light and kings to the rising of your dawn.
Speaker 1: This is a prophetic word and this word is given for covenant people.
Speaker 1: These are kingdom people and this is how they shall be, their DNA.
Speaker 1: When you read Deuteronomy 28 and verse 13, it says you shall be head and not tail, you shall be top and not bottom.
Speaker 1: I pray that somebody is refusing to remain at the bottom and to be at the tail.
Speaker 1: Refuse that in Jesus' name, because this is prophetic.
Speaker 1: It's concerning covenant people, it's concerning kingdom people.
Speaker 1: It concerns you and me, and Daniel is one of those.
Speaker 1: He has just cracked the riddle.
Speaker 1: He has just cracked the mystery and it's no longer a problem and the solution has come.
Speaker 1: What the rest of the crowd could not do, this gentleman called Daniel actually does it.
Speaker 1: I am praying, pastor Ambrose, that this month so many problems will be sorted out.
Speaker 1: This month of April, so many problems will be sorted out.
Speaker 1: Those are opportunities.
Speaker 1: God is going to give you the wisdom that you need to crack those problems.
Speaker 1: Do you need financial wisdom?
Speaker 1: I tell you God has it, and you pray and you say Lord, grant me financial wisdom so that, as I go out there, I know how to get this money, because it seems like some people get it, others don't.
Speaker 1: God is able to show you and generate the pathways for you to actually get financial freedom because you have financial wisdom.
Speaker 1: What about relational wisdom that we need in our families?
Speaker 1: You know, in marriages, parents and children, relationships at workplace.
Speaker 1: What about that kind of wisdom?
Speaker 1: The wisdom that reminds you be slow to speak, be quick to hear, be slow to anger, for the anger of man does not work.
Speaker 1: The righteousness of God, and even when things are being said around you that make you want to pick something and throw it at another and begin to do some boxing with somebody.
Speaker 1: Yesterday I went to YouTube and I was watching again the fight between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 1: It's a boxing match and those guys could really punch and punch very heavy.
Speaker 1: It's a boxing match and those guys could really punch and punch very heavy In that particular match.
Speaker 1: Eventually it is Joe Frazier who won that particular boxing match that I watched and you feel like you're being punched this way and the other way and the other way.
Speaker 1: The wisdom is be slow to speak, be quick to hear, you know, and slow to anger, for the anger of man does not work.
Speaker 1: The righteousness of God, we can crack the riddles and this is the wisdom that is actually needed.
Speaker 1: So he gives the words and their meanings and the king is actually satisfied with what he's actually giving and therefore, like I prophesied earlier, riddles are being cracked, problems are being solved.
Speaker 1: The whole of this month.
Speaker 1: There is wisdom from above.
Speaker 1: There is nothing impossible with God.
Speaker 1: I think it being done For our young people in Africa.
Speaker 1: May uncommon wisdom come upon you in a new and fresh way.
Speaker 1: May God raise you, may God use you, because these problems you see around Africa are opportunities and God giving you the wisdom you'll appear before kings and presidents around the world.
Speaker 1: But finally, I must say, wisdom rewarded In verse 29 and verse 30, then Belshazzar's command.
Speaker 1: Then, at Belshazzar's command verse 29 Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Speaker 1: In other words, he was honored and he was promoted.
Speaker 1: Right now I pray that, in the spirit, royal purple clothing come upon you this week.
Speaker 1: You shall walk in favor Just because there's something you won't be able to, somebody else will be able to see.
Speaker 1: The royal purple clothing of the Holy Spirit shall be upon you, setting you apart to have kingly and royal wisdom and therefore favor will come looking for you this week.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about many weeks down the road but, secondly, promotion will come your way and common wisdom invites promotion.
Speaker 1: Have you been stuck in one place for so long Because of this month and the uncommon wisdom we are asking?
Speaker 1: The ceilings are being broken and I decree and declare, of course together with Pastor Ambrose, that your promotion is nearer than it was yesterday and God is coming through for you.
Speaker 1: Somebody connecting with what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: God is coming through for you.
Speaker 1: And so this gentleman called Daniel.
Speaker 1: Just by being present at the royal place, just by interpreting the riddle, suddenly the king begins to do something and royal clothing on him and then a gold chain around his neck, and then he is actually promoted.
Speaker 1: He becomes number three in the whole place.
Speaker 1: When you read the book of Daniel later, you will see that he also worked out the promotion and positioning of his friends, because there was Shadrach, meshach and Abednego.
Speaker 1: And as Daniel rose, he also got his friends Shadrach, meshach and Abednego and they became chief ministers within the whole place.
Speaker 1: You know this place was actually Babylon.
Speaker 1: I will read Proverbs 3, verse 13, and you hear some of the benefits and rewards of wisdom as I come to a close, in Proverbs, chapter 3, from verse 13.
Speaker 1: Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.
Speaker 1: There are about 10 benefits, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
Speaker 1: She is more precious than silver and yields better returns than gold.
Speaker 1: She is more precious than rubies.
Speaker 1: Nothing you desire can compare with her Long life.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing is in her right hand.
Speaker 1: In her left hand are riches and honor Her ways, referring to wisdom and common wisdom, are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
Speaker 1: She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her.
Speaker 1: Those who hold her first will be blessed by wisdom.
Speaker 1: The Lord laid the earth's foundations by understanding.
Speaker 1: He set the heavens in place.
Speaker 1: By his knowledge, the watery depths were divided and the clouds let drop the dew.
Speaker 1: My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight.
Speaker 1: Preserve sound judgment and discretion.
Speaker 1: There will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.
Speaker 1: Then you will go on your way in safety and your foot will not stumble.
Speaker 1: When you lie down, you will not be afraid.
Speaker 1: When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Speaker 1: Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked Finally, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.
Speaker 1: Why don't we celebrate with a hand clap all these benefits and blessings that come as a result of wisdom?
Speaker 1: So your age is not an issue.
Speaker 1: Pursue uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: You shall be sought after like Daniel.
Speaker 1: You shall be brought to the royal courts.
Speaker 1: You shall be rewarded, and all these benefits that I've read in the book of Robbers regarding the wisdom that is uncommon shall be there.
Speaker 1: They shall be part of the fabric of your life.
Speaker 1: Today, I have raised the altar of uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: This wisdom is ready to be imparted.
Speaker 1: It's a wisdom from God, it's a wisdom in the now, it's a wisdom that will be rewarded.
Speaker 1: And I tell you, with this kind of wisdom, you'll come back to me a month or two months later and say Pastor, it is true, the word of God is sure and it's true.
Speaker 1: Great things are happening around my life just because of applying, of asking this uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: Like I said, the memo from heaven came into the king's space on a plastered wall.
Speaker 1: There is a writing on the wall.
Speaker 1: What is the writing on your wall On the king?
Speaker 1: The writing was judgment for the king.
Speaker 1: It was mene, mene tekel and he later died.
Speaker 1: Actually, when you read, he lost the kingdom almost immediately after that.
Speaker 1: But I know, for you the writing on the wall is not judgment, but affirmation and God's saying but affirmation.
Speaker 1: And God's saying leave that path.
Speaker 1: You're going.
Speaker 1: Please go this other way.
Speaker 1: It's never late, don't be ashamed.
Speaker 1: You can stop something you are doing because you have fresh wisdom from God.
Speaker 1: And God is saying you have never made progress because you have stayed so long on that matter.
Speaker 1: In the first service I talked about somebody trying to build a house.
Speaker 1: You know simple things like trying to build a house in a certain area.
Speaker 1: But even as they started from the foundation, there was that voice some people call sixth sense telling them don't build here, you should actually build it in a different place.
Speaker 1: And you know they ignored the voice in a different place.
Speaker 1: And you know they ignored the voice and they start building and they have struggled for years, wasted years of trying to build.
Speaker 1: Things show up everywhere, resources are distracted every side until finally they surrender and I say that must have been God's voice.
Speaker 1: I am stopping this building project here and I'm going to start afresh elsewhere.
Speaker 1: And no sooner did they get to the new place and started building.
Speaker 1: It is like resources started showing up and favor and everything from every direction.
Speaker 1: They were exercising and common wisdom that comes from God when you pray and when they located themselves in the right place where God wanted them to be, following divine wisdom.
Speaker 1: That house was built so quickly and, you know, done so well, looking so nice and sometimes even a city.
Speaker 1: A city can get stuck, a whole city like Nairobi, and it is waiting for wisdom, just some wisdom.
Speaker 1: Some word in the county assembly, somebody showing up, maybe an MCA, and, with the wisdom God has given them, saying the writing on the wall is that we have not made progress because of one, two, three.
Speaker 1: Let us deal with these things, leave the path we are going and let us pursue this other direction, and I tell you, you'll find a city like Nairobi beginning to rise in leaps and bounds and within no time it becomes one of the great cities.
Speaker 1: The Bible says you shall be head and not tail, you shall be top and not bottom.
Speaker 1: There is a dynamic of elevation that comes through uncommon wisdom, and so you find a city like Nairobi in the global maps.
Speaker 1: You know a country like Kenya, you know rising.
Speaker 1: Like we say in Isaiah 60, verse 1, kenya arise, kenya, shine Kenya.
Speaker 1: Your light has come, kenya.
Speaker 1: The glory of the Lord is risen upon you and you start seeing a country like Kenya rising and the economic realities begin to change.
Speaker 1: Just because of uncommon wisdom, the cost of credit from banks becomes soft for the people, banks becomes soft for the people and people find good jobs that are well-paying.
Speaker 1: Just because of wisdom, uncommon wisdom, transforming a nation and changing a nation, and that is why we need to pray for uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: So, pastor Ambrose, I pray, I pray.
Speaker 1: I know God is releasing something.
Speaker 1: He's sending some uncommon wisdom in all sectors of society, within this congregation and those who are following online and also in the pavilion.
Speaker 1: And because of this, as we leave these gates and go back to those places where we are going, that uncommon wisdom will begin to shift things and begin to bring greatness.
Speaker 1: Wisdom will begin to shift things and begin to bring greatness, and the net effect for all of us is that life will be better, yeah, and that the economy will improve and things will actually change.
Speaker 1: There has been a challenge, pastor Ambrose, of dichotomizing between faith and practice, or dichotomizing between Sunday and Monday, and so people come to church on Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's spiritual, it's all like that, but Monday is a different ballgame.
Speaker 1: That uncommon wisdom applies on Sunday, applies on Monday, applies on Tuesday, wednesday, like that.
Speaker 1: It applies in medicine, applies in law, applies in the transport sector, it applies in flying.
Speaker 1: This uncommon wisdom is a wisdom that we are asking from above, god is sending to us.
Speaker 1: Then we shall go out there and this wisdom will change even the palace, beginning from the palace to the last house.
Speaker 1: You know in the line the wisdom is going.
Speaker 1: So, as you leave this place, you are carriers of uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: Is somebody listening to me?
Speaker 1: You are carriers of uncommon wisdom, and this wisdom will crack difficult problems.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can give a hand to the Lord.
Speaker 1: Just give a.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it will.
Speaker 1: I am seeing it, I can see it, I feel it.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Kenya is going to be different, nairobi will be different, our continent is going to be different.
Speaker 1: This wisdom is going to crack those difficult problems and because of this uncommon wisdom, we can never remain the same again, never, never remain the same again.
Speaker 1: So I'll be inviting us to the place of prayer, if we can all stand, and then we pray together.
Speaker 1: Again, in James, chapter one, verse five, it says if anyone lack wisdom, let him ask from above, and our God is generous enough to give all of us uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: There is a matter you are trying to resolve.
Speaker 1: Don't do it in that wisdom, your wisdom, don't go to witch doctors, don't go to sorcerers, don't go to astrologers, don't go to diviners.
Speaker 1: There is wisdom, and that wisdom, through the Holy Spirit and through this word of God, that wisdom will sort out that problem.
Speaker 1: And so I am going to pray a prayer that asks God for uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: And let us believe together.
Speaker 1: Believe together.
Speaker 1: God will get you out of that problem.
Speaker 1: He's going to sort you out.
Speaker 1: What he's sending in your direction, I'm telling you, will crack that problem, I can assure you.
Speaker 1: Let's believe together for this uncommon wisdom, individual and corporate, family, national, city, continental.
Speaker 1: We can pray for uncommon wisdom from this powerful pulpit here in Nairobi, kenya.
Speaker 1: You know a wisdom asked of the Lord and then the Lord sends it.
Speaker 1: The young generation especially.
Speaker 1: You connect with this moment Because God will give you an idea, a thought, a word of knowledge that will crack a big problem.
Speaker 1: And God will promote you by dispensing that kind of wisdom in those forums around the world.
Speaker 1: And I'm praying God, open the doors to the palaces and these places where kings and CEOs and all these people reside and they sit.
Speaker 1: You know you'll end up in those clubs where they play golf and they'll also invite you there.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, young generation, it is your time, it is your season, and God's spirit is coming upon you in a fresh way.
Speaker 1: I want us to lift our hands to God, father, in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: I have asked that we lift our hands up to you because I have shared that uncommon wisdom first of all, comes from above.
Speaker 1: And, god, we are looking up to you because we know that you have an opinion, you have an idea, you have a thought.
Speaker 1: You have an idea, you have a thought, you have a solution regarding every matter concerning us individually and also collectively.
Speaker 1: What you have in your hands has always been there as we go through the journey of life, Through the journey of life.
Speaker 1: But, lord, oftentimes we have not waited long enough to hear you speak or even follow the urging of the Holy Spirit within and, lord, we have picked up solutions and we have operated with conventional wisdom Wisdom of the enchanters, wisdom of the astrologers, wisdom of the astrologers, wisdom of the magicians, wisdom of the sorcerers.
Speaker 1: We have settled for a lesser wisdom and for that reason, my God, we have ended up where you have not wanted us to be either in terms of family, in terms of finances, in terms of career, in terms of many things.
Speaker 1: We have made decisions and choices on the basis of advisories and coaching and counsel that has not come directly from you and therefore, my father, we acknowledge that fact and we know that you're a God, who is able to pick us from where we are?
Speaker 1: We forget the past, we push it behind.
Speaker 1: And, god, we pray as we lift our hands to you Now, refresh us with uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: We are now praying an impartation of uncommon wisdom, spirit-led foresight.
Speaker 1: Believe with me as I am praying, that God is doing something right now.
Speaker 1: And, father, as you release this wisdom, like you did for Daniel in his time, my God, may you lead your people to palaces, to the spaces of kings, to those spaces where they have never been before.
Speaker 1: And, god, may they, with this wisdom, crack riddles, solve problems.
Speaker 1: Lord, pave our way, even for a generation, for a whole generation.
Speaker 1: We are receiving uncommon wisdom now, as Parklands Baptist Church, my God, this is a church you're using and you're going to use even more greatly across Africa.
Speaker 1: Lord, lead us with your wisdom.
Speaker 1: The wisdom that says the Great Commission is the way to go.
Speaker 1: The wisdom that says prayer is the way to go is the way to go.
Speaker 1: The wisdom that says prayer is the way to go.
Speaker 1: The wisdom that comes from the word of God that, father, we shall be raised to the next level as you lead your people through this week and through this month, and as Lord, we apply this uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: May you bring promotion.
Speaker 1: May you break the ceiling that has been above somebody's head for a long time and God, cause them to rise to the next level.
Speaker 1: May your people be clothed in purple, royal colors, colors of honor and favor, coming among your people and, lord, may your people be lifted to levels that they have never imagined before.
Speaker 1: People be lifted to levels that they have never imagined before and therefore, spirit of God, now breathe uncommon wisdom among your people.
Speaker 1: Just like Solomon prayed for wisdom in 1 Kings, chapter 3, and you gave him wisdom, he became the wisest man.
Speaker 1: God we are praying, grant us this wisdom as we go out.
Speaker 1: Lord, we shall use this wisdom for the honor and glory of your name, and so this impartation is your portion, and the devil can do nothing about it.
Speaker 1: If you believe you've received it, give a hand to the Lord.
Speaker 1: Glory to God, king of kings and Lord of lords.
Speaker 1: We have received it.
Speaker 1: Even when I'm standing here, I'm feeling I'm wiser.
Speaker 1: There are some two solutions that are just showing up all over me.
Speaker 1: Turn to the person next to you and tell them you are wise.
Speaker 1: You are wise.
Speaker 1: In fact, you are looking very wise, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: That is uncommon wisdom.
Speaker 1: Now, the Lord bless you on Monday, bless you on Tuesday, bless you on Wednesday, bless you on Thursday, bless you on Friday, bless you on Saturday, bless you on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And that way you come with testimonies galore this coming Sunday.
Speaker 1: In the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ, you are blessed indeed, and now.
Speaker 1: May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
Speaker 1: Amen, surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever and ever.
Speaker 1: Amen Shalom.
