WISDOM’S PIPE

READ: Proverbs 3:13-18

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. :-Matthew 13:16-17

There are many things you cannot appreciate until you see them. You cannot just hear about them! You cannot just hear of them! You must see them to know them well. And you must see them to understand them! You must see them so that you acquire the wisdom to do them.

Seeing and hearing is a practice of those who have a big ministry. Wise pastors give themselves to seeing and hearing. You need a lot of wisdom for ministry. Without wisdom, you cannot lead people. It is by wisdom that kings reign. It is by wisdom that princes lead with justice. Without wisdom you cannot build the church. Without wisdom you cannot construct the church buildings you will need.

The Bible says, “By wisdom a house is builded.” (Proverbs 24:3). Without wisdom, you will never be promoted and you will never rise in ministry. Wisdom has wealth and riches in the left hand and long life in the right. The art of seeing and hearing gives you access to this great wisdom that you need for ministry.

Seeing and hearing is your God-given conduit of wisdom. It is a pipe from heaven through which fresh waters of wisdom will come to you. You are going to be wiser than your peers! You are going to be wiser than your teachers!

Develop the art of listening to preaching messages over and over. Develop the art of listening to one message several times over. Develop the art of listening to a message until you can preach it yourself. Develop the art of listening to preaching and teaching until the message is part of you. Develop the art of listening to preaching until you can share the same message as though it is an original message.
