  • And now, here is pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:42.478 --> 00:01:44.714
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:44.714 --> 00:01:46.049
  • Joseph prince: the bible says, "happy is the man
  • 00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:47.617
  • That findeth wisdom, and the man
  • 00:01:47.617 --> 00:01:49.919
  • That gets understanding," amen.
  • 00:01:49.919 --> 00:01:52.322
  • Here it says very clearly that the man that finds wisdom
  • 00:01:52.322 --> 00:01:55.725
  • And the man who gains understanding,
  • 00:01:55.725 --> 00:01:57.694
  • The proceeds of wisdom "are better than the profits
  • 00:01:57.694 --> 00:02:00.029
  • Of silver and her gain than fine gold.
  • 00:02:00.029 --> 00:02:03.499
  • She is more precious than rubies."
  • 00:02:03.499 --> 00:02:05.435
  • This wisdom is more precious than rubies.
  • 00:02:05.435 --> 00:02:08.071
  • "and all the things you may desire
  • 00:02:08.071 --> 00:02:10.273
  • Cannot compare with her.
  • 00:02:10.273 --> 00:02:12.842
  • Length of days is in her right hand."
  • 00:02:12.842 --> 00:02:15.645
  • Now, look at this.
  • 00:02:15.645 --> 00:02:16.980
  • Length of days is in wisdom's right hand.
  • 00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.716
  • And wisdom here is personified as a woman.
  • 00:02:19.716 --> 00:02:22.452
  • You embrace her.
  • 00:02:22.452 --> 00:02:23.786
  • Another place in proverbs it says you embrace her,
  • 00:02:23.786 --> 00:02:26.122
  • And you get her two hands embracing you, amen.
  • 00:02:26.122 --> 00:02:29.826
  • And length of days is in her right hand.
  • 00:02:29.826 --> 00:02:31.794
  • The right hand is the hand of priority.
  • 00:02:31.794 --> 00:02:33.563
  • Notice that god prioritizes length of days, health, amen.
  • 00:02:33.563 --> 00:02:38.001
  • How many would say that health is a priority, amen, in life?
  • 00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:42.171
  • What's the point of having riches?
  • 00:02:42.171 --> 00:02:43.573
  • What's the point of having, you know, fame and fortune
  • 00:02:43.573 --> 00:02:47.243
  • If your body is wracked with disease, right?
  • 00:02:47.243 --> 00:02:49.812
  • So god prioritized that, length of days,
  • 00:02:49.812 --> 00:02:52.181
  • Which includes health, of course.
  • 00:02:52.181 --> 00:02:53.616
  • We have, "length of days is in her right hand.
  • 00:02:53.616 --> 00:02:56.219
  • And, in her left hand, riches and honor.
  • 00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:59.722
  • Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
  • 00:02:59.722 --> 00:03:02.692
  • And all her paths are peace."
  • 00:03:02.692 --> 00:03:05.028
  • So, once again, wisdom gives us these five things, amen,
  • 00:03:05.028 --> 00:03:10.099
  • These five blessings that come from wisdom.
  • 00:03:10.099 --> 00:03:12.101
  • Number one, length of days.
  • 00:03:12.101 --> 00:03:14.370
  • Number two, riches.
  • 00:03:14.370 --> 00:03:16.973
  • Number three, honor.
  • 00:03:16.973 --> 00:03:19.409
  • Now, how many would say that these are the three things
  • 00:03:19.409 --> 00:03:21.811
  • That you will look for above everything else?
  • 00:03:21.811 --> 00:03:24.547
  • You want health, amen, long life.
  • 00:03:24.547 --> 00:03:27.917
  • You want riches.
  • 00:03:27.917 --> 00:03:29.786
  • "her ways are ways of pleasantness."
  • 00:03:29.786 --> 00:03:31.454
  • Number four, it gives you a pleasant life,
  • 00:03:31.454 --> 00:03:33.823
  • A life of pleasantness.
  • 00:03:33.823 --> 00:03:35.692
  • Now people have this idea that the christian life
  • 00:03:35.692 --> 00:03:37.860
  • Is a life that's hard, amen.
  • 00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:40.096
  • No, my bible says, "the way of the transgressors
  • 00:03:40.096 --> 00:03:43.132
  • Is hard," amen.
  • 00:03:43.132 --> 00:03:44.667
  • Jesus said it like this. "take my yoke upon you."
  • 00:03:44.667 --> 00:03:46.769
  • He says, "first, come unto me, give me your burdens,
  • 00:03:46.769 --> 00:03:49.772
  • And take my yoke upon you," amen.
  • 00:03:49.772 --> 00:03:52.709
  • "my yoke is easy, and my burden is light,
  • 00:03:52.709 --> 00:03:56.312
  • So give me your heavy burdens, and i'll give you my burden,
  • 00:03:56.312 --> 00:03:59.849
  • Which is light," amen.
  • 00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:01.951
  • "give me your yoke of bondage, and take my yoke upon you,
  • 00:04:01.951 --> 00:04:06.756
  • And my yoke is easy, amen, easy and light burden."
  • 00:04:06.756 --> 00:04:13.296
  • Yoke is easy, burden is light.
  • 00:04:13.296 --> 00:04:15.565
  • That's the christian life, amen. you are to live that life.
  • 00:04:15.565 --> 00:04:18.267
  • That doesn't mean that you don't have hardship outside,
  • 00:04:18.267 --> 00:04:20.236
  • You won't face troubles in your life.
  • 00:04:20.236 --> 00:04:22.805
  • But there'll be a lightness, there'll be a joy,
  • 00:04:22.805 --> 00:04:25.174
  • There'll be a peace, amen, there'll be a flow in your life,
  • 00:04:25.174 --> 00:04:27.643
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:04:27.643 --> 00:04:28.978
  • Jesus says, "i come that you might have life
  • 00:04:28.978 --> 00:04:30.813
  • And have it more abundantly."
  • 00:04:30.813 --> 00:04:32.415
  • Amen, praise the lord.
  • 00:04:32.415 --> 00:04:34.050
  • And the fifth blessing of wisdom is,
  • 00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:37.220
  • "all her paths are peace."
  • 00:04:37.220 --> 00:04:39.489
  • Peace, shalom peace, well-being, peace in your mind,
  • 00:04:39.489 --> 00:04:44.093
  • Peace in your relationships, amen.
  • 00:04:44.093 --> 00:04:46.329
  • Praise the lord, and the greatest peace of all
  • 00:04:46.329 --> 00:04:47.764
  • Is peace with god.
  • 00:04:47.764 --> 00:04:49.098
  • "therefore, being justified by faith,
  • 00:04:49.098 --> 00:04:51.434
  • We have peace with god."
  • 00:04:51.434 --> 00:04:53.336
  • We have it, not trying to get it.
  • 00:04:53.336 --> 00:04:55.204
  • We have peace with god
  • 00:04:55.204 --> 00:04:56.806
  • Through our lord jesus christ, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:56.806 --> 00:04:59.675
  • Ephesians 1, it tells us to pray to the father
  • 00:04:59.675 --> 00:05:03.246
  • "of our lord jesus christ, the father of glory,
  • 00:05:03.246 --> 00:05:05.648
  • That he may give to us the spirit of wisdom
  • 00:05:05.648 --> 00:05:08.151
  • And revelation in the knowledge of him."
  • 00:05:08.151 --> 00:05:09.886
  • Notice it's called, "the spirit of wisdom and revelation
  • 00:05:09.886 --> 00:05:13.122
  • In the knowledge of him," the greatest knowledge of all.
  • 00:05:13.122 --> 00:05:16.159
  • And how does this spirit of wisdom operate?
  • 00:05:16.159 --> 00:05:20.196
  • "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened."
  • 00:05:20.196 --> 00:05:24.267
  • One translation says, "the eyes of your heart
  • 00:05:24.267 --> 00:05:26.335
  • Being enlightened."
  • 00:05:26.335 --> 00:05:27.670
  • So, eyes of our heart.
  • 00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:29.172
  • Notice our heart has eyes. we see on the inside.
  • 00:05:29.172 --> 00:05:33.609
  • That's the hazon vision that i'm talking about,
  • 00:05:33.609 --> 00:05:36.145
  • That god wants us to walk in this year.
  • 00:05:36.145 --> 00:05:38.815
  • To walk in revelation knowledge, to walk in that hazon vision.
  • 00:05:38.815 --> 00:05:43.519
  • In fact, in those days of eli and young prophet samuel,
  • 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.524
  • The bible says there was no open vision.
  • 00:05:48.524 --> 00:05:51.494
  • In one translation, i think it's the new king james,
  • 00:05:51.494 --> 00:05:53.729
  • It says, "there was no widespread revelation."
  • 00:05:53.729 --> 00:05:56.799
  • So, revelation, the eyes of your heart being open.
  • 00:05:56.799 --> 00:05:59.969
  • Remember adam and eve?
  • 00:05:59.969 --> 00:06:01.304
  • God--their eyes--god made them complete, except for one thing.
  • 00:06:01.304 --> 00:06:04.941
  • God gave them the choice to open their spiritual eyes,
  • 00:06:04.941 --> 00:06:07.877
  • The eyes of their heart,
  • 00:06:07.877 --> 00:06:09.212
  • Either by the tree of knowledge of good and evil
  • 00:06:09.212 --> 00:06:12.515
  • Or by the tree of life.
  • 00:06:12.515 --> 00:06:15.117
  • And today men are trying to open the eyes of--
  • 00:06:15.117 --> 00:06:17.553
  • Their spiritual eyes to the demonic world,
  • 00:06:17.553 --> 00:06:20.923
  • To the occult, through new age practices
  • 00:06:20.923 --> 00:06:22.892
  • And all that.
  • 00:06:22.892 --> 00:06:24.227
  • But god wants your eyes, child of god, to be opened
  • 00:06:24.227 --> 00:06:25.761
  • By the spirit, his holy spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • 00:06:25.761 --> 00:06:29.332
  • Notice it's called the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • 00:06:29.332 --> 00:06:31.901
  • And the way he operates in your life,
  • 00:06:31.901 --> 00:06:33.736
  • He causes the eyes of your heart
  • 00:06:33.736 --> 00:06:35.872
  • To be enlightened.
  • 00:06:35.872 --> 00:06:37.507
  • And the greek word here is photizo, amen.
  • 00:06:37.507 --> 00:06:41.177
  • "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened," photizo,
  • 00:06:41.177 --> 00:06:44.514
  • "that you may know."
  • 00:06:44.514 --> 00:06:45.848
  • Once your eyes open, you know.
  • 00:06:45.848 --> 00:06:48.985
  • You know what god wants you to know.
  • 00:06:48.985 --> 00:06:50.720
  • Praise the lord, hallelujah.
  • 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.321
  • Do you remember joshua?
  • 00:06:52.321 --> 00:06:54.290
  • In joshua 1, verse 8, god says, "this book of the law
  • 00:06:54.290 --> 00:06:57.460
  • Shall not depart out of your mouth,"
  • 00:06:57.460 --> 00:06:59.362
  • God said to him, "but thou shalt meditate therein
  • 00:06:59.362 --> 00:07:02.665
  • Day and night, that you may observe to do
  • 00:07:02.665 --> 00:07:05.701
  • According to all that is written in it.
  • 00:07:05.701 --> 00:07:07.670
  • For then you will make your way prosperous,
  • 00:07:07.670 --> 00:07:09.972
  • And then you will have good success."
  • 00:07:09.972 --> 00:07:11.507
  • The bible says that joshua-- at this point,
  • 00:07:11.507 --> 00:07:14.176
  • Moses has just died, and before moses died,
  • 00:07:14.176 --> 00:07:17.313
  • Moses laid his hands on joshua, and joshua was full
  • 00:07:17.313 --> 00:07:21.250
  • Of the spirit of wisdom, for moses
  • 00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:23.686
  • Had laid his hands on him.
  • 00:07:23.686 --> 00:07:25.087
  • Remember, moses laid his hands on joshua, and now,
  • 00:07:25.087 --> 00:07:27.623
  • When moses is dead, the bible says,
  • 00:07:27.623 --> 00:07:29.091
  • "joshua was full of the spirit of wisdom," amen,
  • 00:07:29.091 --> 00:07:32.595
  • "for moses laid his hands on him."
  • 00:07:32.595 --> 00:07:33.930
  • And that was the closing chapters
  • 00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:36.265
  • Of deuteronomy when that was mentioned.
  • 00:07:36.265 --> 00:07:39.535
  • The very next book is this chapter 1 of joshua.
  • 00:07:39.535 --> 00:07:43.773
  • So we see that, even though joshua
  • 00:07:43.773 --> 00:07:45.575
  • Was full of the spirit of wisdom,
  • 00:07:45.575 --> 00:07:47.310
  • He did not neglect the bible.
  • 00:07:47.310 --> 00:07:49.378
  • He did not neglect the word of god, amen.
  • 00:07:49.378 --> 00:07:51.581
  • He opened it when god spoke to him and said,
  • 00:07:51.581 --> 00:07:53.716
  • "this book of the law,"
  • 00:07:53.716 --> 00:07:55.051
  • Obviously he was reading it then,
  • 00:07:55.051 --> 00:07:56.586
  • "shall not depart from your mouth, joshua,
  • 00:07:56.586 --> 00:07:58.821
  • But you shall meditate therein day and night."
  • 00:07:58.821 --> 00:08:02.458
  • Notice, "day and night, that you may observe
  • 00:08:02.458 --> 00:08:04.293
  • To do according," now watch that,
  • 00:08:04.293 --> 00:08:05.795
  • May observe to do, "that you may observe to do."
  • 00:08:05.795 --> 00:08:09.131
  • God could have said, "you should meditate on it
  • 00:08:09.131 --> 00:08:10.600
  • Day and night, that you may do
  • 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.603
  • All that is written therein."
  • 00:08:13.603 --> 00:08:15.538
  • No need to say "observe to do," right?
  • 00:08:15.538 --> 00:08:17.306
  • But god says here, "that you may observe--"
  • 00:08:17.306 --> 00:08:20.576
  • In hebrew, shamar, observe, watch, see,
  • 00:08:20.576 --> 00:08:24.714
  • Watch, amen, "to do."
  • 00:08:24.714 --> 00:08:27.750
  • In other words, when you meditate on god's word,
  • 00:08:27.750 --> 00:08:29.585
  • Take a passage of scripture or take a verse
  • 00:08:29.585 --> 00:08:31.954
  • And you meditate on it, sooner or later
  • 00:08:31.954 --> 00:08:35.825
  • You will see how to apply it, amen.
  • 00:08:35.825 --> 00:08:39.895
  • Then you shall make your way prosperous.
  • 00:08:39.895 --> 00:08:43.132
  • Then you shall have good success.
  • 00:08:43.132 --> 00:08:45.267
  • Notice, you meditate on god's word--
  • 00:08:45.267 --> 00:08:48.070
  • Actually, meditation here is the word hagah in hebrew,
  • 00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:51.974
  • Which is muttering with your mouth.
  • 00:08:51.974 --> 00:08:53.943
  • I mean, the first line tells you that,
  • 00:08:53.943 --> 00:08:55.444
  • "this book of the law shall not depart
  • 00:08:55.444 --> 00:08:56.779
  • From your mouth," amen, amen, not just from your mind.
  • 00:08:56.779 --> 00:09:01.817
  • We think of meditation only from in the area of the mind,
  • 00:09:01.817 --> 00:09:04.186
  • But your mouth, amen.
  • 00:09:04.186 --> 00:09:06.188
  • Biblical meditation is not shutting your mouth
  • 00:09:06.188 --> 00:09:09.191
  • And just being in your mind, amen, or blanking your mind out,
  • 00:09:09.191 --> 00:09:13.229
  • All right?
  • 00:09:13.229 --> 00:09:14.563
  • It is actually filling your mouth
  • 00:09:14.563 --> 00:09:15.898
  • With god's word and thinking about
  • 00:09:15.898 --> 00:09:17.233
  • What you are muttering.
  • 00:09:17.233 --> 00:09:18.634
  • Hagah means muttering, amen.
  • 00:09:18.634 --> 00:09:21.904
  • In the new testament, in 1 timothy 4, it says here,
  • 00:09:21.904 --> 00:09:25.241
  • In verse 15, "meditate upon these things;
  • 00:09:25.241 --> 00:09:28.778
  • Give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting
  • 00:09:28.778 --> 00:09:33.149
  • May appear to all."
  • 00:09:33.149 --> 00:09:36.786
  • "meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them;
  • 00:09:36.786 --> 00:09:40.523
  • That thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:09:40.523 --> 00:09:42.825
  • The word meditate here is the word meletao.
  • 00:09:42.825 --> 00:09:46.429
  • Obviously, this is the new testament,
  • 00:09:46.429 --> 00:09:48.230
  • And it's in greek.
  • 00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:49.565
  • But the reason i'm showing both verses
  • 00:09:49.565 --> 00:09:52.101
  • From the old and new is to show you
  • 00:09:52.101 --> 00:09:53.703
  • That this verse here is actually--hebrew--
  • 00:09:53.703 --> 00:09:56.639
  • In hebrew, it will be hagah, to mutter upon these things.
  • 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.042
  • And what things are these?
  • 00:10:00.042 --> 00:10:01.377
  • The context tells you it's the word of god.
  • 00:10:01.377 --> 00:10:03.012
  • "'till i come, give attendance to reading,
  • 00:10:03.012 --> 00:10:05.514
  • To exhortation, to doctrine."
  • 00:10:05.514 --> 00:10:07.883
  • The word of god.
  • 00:10:07.883 --> 00:10:09.218
  • Listen to preaching. listen to teaching.
  • 00:10:09.218 --> 00:10:11.620
  • "'neglect not the gift that is in thee,"
  • 00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:14.256
  • Which is the gift of teaching for timothy.
  • 00:10:14.256 --> 00:10:16.392
  • Paul was telling him.
  • 00:10:16.392 --> 00:10:17.727
  • It was given to him back when the elders
  • 00:10:17.727 --> 00:10:19.161
  • Laid hands on him and by prophecy.
  • 00:10:19.161 --> 00:10:22.164
  • "meditate upon these things," god's word,
  • 00:10:22.164 --> 00:10:24.033
  • "give yourself wholly to them; that thy profiting
  • 00:10:24.033 --> 00:10:27.369
  • May appear to all."
  • 00:10:27.369 --> 00:10:28.704
  • Notice that, every time god's word--
  • 00:10:28.704 --> 00:10:30.039
  • Church, listen, i find that every time god's word
  • 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:34.610
  • Talks about meditation, there's always a benefit.
  • 00:10:34.610 --> 00:10:37.747
  • There's always a blessing.
  • 00:10:37.747 --> 00:10:39.381
  • And in joshua 1:8 it says what?
  • 00:10:39.381 --> 00:10:41.183
  • The blessing.
  • 00:10:41.183 --> 00:10:42.518
  • "for then you shall make your way prosperous."
  • 00:10:42.518 --> 00:10:45.121
  • You will make your way prosperous.
  • 00:10:45.121 --> 00:10:47.690
  • When you meditate on god's word day and night,
  • 00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:49.358
  • "you will make your way prosperous,
  • 00:10:49.358 --> 00:10:51.761
  • And you shall have good success."
  • 00:10:51.761 --> 00:10:55.765
  • Wow, what about psalms 1?
  • 00:10:55.765 --> 00:10:57.800
  • It says, in psalms 1, "but his delight
  • 00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:00.669
  • Is in the law of the lord, and in his law
  • 00:11:00.669 --> 00:11:03.773
  • He meditates day and night," amen.
  • 00:11:03.773 --> 00:11:06.308
  • When you find the word "the law of the lord,"
  • 00:11:06.308 --> 00:11:08.577
  • It's not specifically referring to just the 10 commandments,
  • 00:11:08.577 --> 00:11:11.514
  • Amen.
  • 00:11:11.514 --> 00:11:12.848
  • The-- it's the definite article--
  • 00:11:12.848 --> 00:11:14.183
  • The law of the lord refers to the entire,
  • 00:11:14.183 --> 00:11:16.118
  • In this context here, the five books of moses,
  • 00:11:16.118 --> 00:11:19.188
  • The law of the lord, amen, the instruction,
  • 00:11:19.188 --> 00:11:21.724
  • The word of god, amen.
  • 00:11:21.724 --> 00:11:23.259
  • So you meditate on the word of god,
  • 00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:24.960
  • And your delight is in the word of god,
  • 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.229
  • And you hagah on it day and night,
  • 00:11:27.229 --> 00:11:29.698
  • What's going to happen?
  • 00:11:29.698 --> 00:11:31.033
  • "he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water."
  • 00:11:31.033 --> 00:11:35.404
  • If one river is running low, there are rivers,
  • 00:11:35.404 --> 00:11:37.907
  • My friend, rivers of water.
  • 00:11:37.907 --> 00:11:40.309
  • How refreshing, how verdant, amen.
  • 00:11:40.309 --> 00:11:44.213
  • How luscious this tree is, "that brings forth its fruit
  • 00:11:44.213 --> 00:11:48.584
  • In its season, whose leaf also shall not wither;
  • 00:11:48.584 --> 00:11:53.355
  • And," here it says, "whatever he does
  • 00:11:53.355 --> 00:11:56.358
  • Shall prosper."
  • 00:11:56.358 --> 00:11:58.127
  • Just like joshua 1:8, amen, "you shall
  • 00:11:58.127 --> 00:12:00.663
  • Make your way prosperous,
  • 00:12:00.663 --> 00:12:02.698
  • And you shall have good success."
  • 00:12:02.698 --> 00:12:04.934
  • And here it says, "when you meditate
  • 00:12:04.934 --> 00:12:07.136
  • On god's word, whatever you do prospers."
  • 00:12:07.136 --> 00:12:11.340
  • It doesn't matter what your occupation is,
  • 00:12:11.340 --> 00:12:13.409
  • Whether you're a doctor, a teacher,
  • 00:12:13.409 --> 00:12:15.578
  • A homemaker, amen.
  • 00:12:15.578 --> 00:12:17.413
  • Just whatever you do prospers, hallelujah.
  • 00:12:17.413 --> 00:12:22.084
  • The word good success is the word sakal,
  • 00:12:22.084 --> 00:12:27.690
  • The word sakal.
  • 00:12:27.690 --> 00:12:29.024
  • Keep that in mind, okay, the word sakal.
  • 00:12:29.024 --> 00:12:30.860
  • All right, the reason why i want you to see timothy--
  • 00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:34.129
  • Here it says, "meditate upon these things."
  • 00:12:34.129 --> 00:12:36.465
  • We know that this word here is meditate
  • 00:12:36.465 --> 00:12:37.967
  • Because some other versions change the word meditate
  • 00:12:37.967 --> 00:12:40.202
  • To "take pains."
  • 00:12:40.202 --> 00:12:42.571
  • "take pains with these things; give diligence to these things."
  • 00:12:42.571 --> 00:12:45.808
  • But, actually, the king james and the new king james
  • 00:12:45.808 --> 00:12:48.777
  • Is accurate, amen.
  • 00:12:48.777 --> 00:12:50.446
  • It says meletao, which is meditate.
  • 00:12:50.446 --> 00:12:53.482
  • Because we saw just now, this same word
  • 00:12:53.482 --> 00:12:55.351
  • Appears in the septuagint for joshua 1:8,
  • 00:12:55.351 --> 00:12:57.753
  • Where it says, "hagah day and night."
  • 00:12:57.753 --> 00:12:59.922
  • Meditate on it day and night, the word meletao, amen.
  • 00:12:59.922 --> 00:13:03.459
  • So you meditate on it.
  • 00:13:03.459 --> 00:13:04.793
  • And, notice again, like i said just now,
  • 00:13:04.793 --> 00:13:06.662
  • There's always some profit.
  • 00:13:06.662 --> 00:13:07.997
  • There's always something prosperous,
  • 00:13:07.997 --> 00:13:10.132
  • Something successful that results from it.
  • 00:13:10.132 --> 00:13:12.134
  • Here it says, "that thy profiting,
  • 00:13:12.134 --> 00:13:14.904
  • That thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:13:14.904 --> 00:13:18.340
  • That means what?
  • 00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:19.675
  • It is visual, it is palpable, it is something
  • 00:13:19.675 --> 00:13:23.279
  • That everyone can see.
  • 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.014
  • Amen, and they saw that the lord was with joseph, amen.
  • 00:13:25.014 --> 00:13:29.919
  • Pharaoh saw--or rather, pharaoh saw it later on,
  • 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.355
  • But it was potiphar who saw it first,
  • 00:13:33.355 --> 00:13:34.890
  • That saw that the lord was with joseph,
  • 00:13:34.890 --> 00:13:37.459
  • And whatever he did, god made it to prosper.
  • 00:13:37.459 --> 00:13:40.396
  • So, think, who is potiphar?
  • 00:13:40.396 --> 00:13:42.331
  • He's not a godly man, amen.
  • 00:13:42.331 --> 00:13:44.233
  • The world, your boss, amen, your colleagues,
  • 00:13:44.233 --> 00:13:48.070
  • The people of the world will see the lord is with you,
  • 00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:50.940
  • Amen.
  • 00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:52.274
  • They might be able to define it, amen, but they will see
  • 00:13:52.274 --> 00:13:54.176
  • The lord is with you and that, whatever you do,
  • 00:13:54.176 --> 00:13:56.078
  • The lord makes it to prosper, amen.
  • 00:13:56.078 --> 00:13:58.814
  • It's always tied up with meditation.
  • 00:13:58.814 --> 00:14:02.084
  • It is tied up with meditation, amen.
  • 00:14:02.084 --> 00:14:04.653
  • And it goes on to say, verse 16, "take heed unto thyself,
  • 00:14:04.653 --> 00:14:10.392
  • And unto the doctrine."
  • 00:14:10.392 --> 00:14:11.927
  • Now paul, by the spirit of god, is telling timothy,
  • 00:14:11.927 --> 00:14:15.364
  • "meditate on god's word, give yourself completely to it,
  • 00:14:15.364 --> 00:14:18.467
  • That your profiting, your advancement, your success
  • 00:14:18.467 --> 00:14:21.937
  • May appear to all.
  • 00:14:21.937 --> 00:14:23.405
  • Take heed unto yourself, and unto the teaching."
  • 00:14:23.405 --> 00:14:27.443
  • Now, listen, he says, "pay attention to yourself
  • 00:14:27.443 --> 00:14:30.079
  • And to the teaching; continue in them,"
  • 00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:32.314
  • Continuing the teaching of god's word,
  • 00:14:32.314 --> 00:14:34.683
  • "for in doing this you shall both save yourself,
  • 00:14:34.683 --> 00:14:38.120
  • And them that hear you."
  • 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.522
  • The word save here is not save from eternal damnation.
  • 00:14:40.522 --> 00:14:44.226
  • It's not save from hell.
  • 00:14:44.226 --> 00:14:46.128
  • It's not save from, you know, death, right, as we know it.
  • 00:14:46.128 --> 00:14:50.699
  • It's not salvation, being saved there,
  • 00:14:50.699 --> 00:14:52.735
  • Although the word saved here, sozo, also means salvation,
  • 00:14:52.735 --> 00:14:56.472
  • Amen, as when we are born again.
  • 00:14:56.472 --> 00:14:59.308
  • Obviously, he's talking to a believer.
  • 00:14:59.308 --> 00:15:01.010
  • So what does it mean when he says,
  • 00:15:01.010 --> 00:15:03.078
  • "continue in god's word"?
  • 00:15:03.078 --> 00:15:04.446
  • "continue to teach god's word because, by doing that,
  • 00:15:04.446 --> 00:15:07.583
  • You will save yourself, and you will save
  • 00:15:07.583 --> 00:15:09.551
  • Those that hear you."
  • 00:15:09.551 --> 00:15:11.286
  • Christ has made unto you wisdom, amen, and the way it manifests
  • 00:15:11.286 --> 00:15:14.957
  • Is pray to god, amen.
  • 00:15:14.957 --> 00:15:16.658
  • Ask god for the spirit of wisdom and revelation,
  • 00:15:16.658 --> 00:15:19.495
  • The eyes of your heart to be enlightened.
  • 00:15:19.495 --> 00:15:22.264
  • We need to see, observe, meditate on god's word.
  • 00:15:22.264 --> 00:15:25.801
  • And the other way that god has just shown us here
  • 00:15:25.801 --> 00:15:29.071
  • Is to meditate on his word.
  • 00:15:29.071 --> 00:15:30.973
  • Take a verse of scripture.
  • 00:15:30.973 --> 00:15:32.307
  • It might not be pertaining to your--you're believing god
  • 00:15:32.307 --> 00:15:34.276
  • For health or healing.
  • 00:15:34.276 --> 00:15:35.744
  • You're believing god for a breakthrough
  • 00:15:35.744 --> 00:15:37.513
  • In your addictions, amen.
  • 00:15:37.513 --> 00:15:39.615
  • You're believing god to restore your marriage.
  • 00:15:39.615 --> 00:15:42.618
  • Whatever it is, take a verse of scripture.
  • 00:15:42.618 --> 00:15:44.386
  • It can be a verse of scripture like what we read just now,
  • 00:15:44.386 --> 00:15:46.688
  • Psalms 1, verse 3, "it shall be like a tree
  • 00:15:46.688 --> 00:15:50.426
  • Planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit
  • 00:15:50.426 --> 00:15:53.195
  • In its season."
  • 00:15:53.195 --> 00:15:54.530
  • Can you see it? can you see it?
  • 00:15:54.530 --> 00:15:57.666
  • Has this portion of god's word given you a hazon vision?
  • 00:15:57.666 --> 00:16:02.104
  • Can you see yourself like a tree,
  • 00:16:02.104 --> 00:16:03.839
  • Planted, evergreen, ever healthy, ever strong,
  • 00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:09.745
  • Forever young, amen?
  • 00:16:09.745 --> 00:16:11.814
  • Whatever you do prospers, amen.
  • 00:16:11.814 --> 00:16:14.316
  • Can you see yourself in that way?
  • 00:16:14.316 --> 00:16:16.218
  • Amen, if you can, if you have eyes to see,
  • 00:16:16.218 --> 00:16:19.388
  • That is the hazon vision, my friend.
  • 00:16:19.388 --> 00:16:21.657
  • That's the purest kind of hazon vision
  • 00:16:21.657 --> 00:16:23.258
  • Because it came from god's word.
  • 00:16:23.258 --> 00:16:25.127
  • And god's word is full of hazon visions.
  • 00:16:25.127 --> 00:16:27.529
  • And, you know, i feel like this is a storehouse.
  • 00:16:27.529 --> 00:16:31.166
  • It's a storehouse.
  • 00:16:31.166 --> 00:16:32.501
  • God wants you to break it open, break the shell.
  • 00:16:32.501 --> 00:16:34.636
  • Unfolding of his words, the opening of his words,
  • 00:16:34.636 --> 00:16:37.139
  • Give you light, amen, gives you wisdom,
  • 00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:39.875
  • Gives you length of days, hallelujah,
  • 00:16:39.875 --> 00:16:41.677
  • When the wisdom comes, and give you riches,
  • 00:16:41.677 --> 00:16:43.645
  • Honor, pleasure, and peace, hallelujah, amen.
  • 00:16:43.645 --> 00:16:49.718
  • You know, sometimes i feel like david
  • 00:16:49.718 --> 00:16:51.053
  • In psalms 119:162, where he says,
  • 00:16:51.053 --> 00:16:54.156
  • "i rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil."
  • 00:16:54.156 --> 00:16:59.795
  • You know, in those days they would go into battle,
  • 00:16:59.795 --> 00:17:01.763
  • And their reward would be the spoils of war,
  • 00:17:01.763 --> 00:17:04.600
  • Where they get the sheep, the cattle, the gold,
  • 00:17:04.600 --> 00:17:09.071
  • The silver, the weapons, you know.
  • 00:17:09.071 --> 00:17:11.874
  • "i rejoice at your word," david says,
  • 00:17:11.874 --> 00:17:14.209
  • "as one that finds great spoil."
  • 00:17:14.209 --> 00:17:16.879
  • Do you feel the same way?
  • 00:17:16.879 --> 00:17:18.413
  • Happy is the man that finds wisdom, amen.
  • 00:17:18.413 --> 00:17:21.016
  • Her merchandise is better than silver and the gain thereof
  • 00:17:21.016 --> 00:17:24.453
  • Than gold, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:24.453 --> 00:17:26.922
  • Friend, you are now walking in the hazon vision of god.
  • 00:17:26.922 --> 00:17:30.959
  • Hallelujah, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:30.959 --> 00:17:33.395
  • And notice also that it says, "the entrance of your word
  • 00:17:33.395 --> 00:17:35.831
  • Gives light," but it also says,
  • 00:17:35.831 --> 00:17:37.299
  • "it gives understanding unto the simple."
  • 00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:41.069
  • It gives understanding to the simple.
  • 00:17:41.069 --> 00:17:44.239
  • And the word understanding here is bin, bin, all right, bin.
  • 00:17:44.239 --> 00:17:51.013
  • Remember just now, "happy is the man that finds wisdom,"
  • 00:17:51.013 --> 00:17:53.715
  • All right?
  • 00:17:53.715 --> 00:17:55.050
  • The word there is chokmah.
  • 00:17:55.050 --> 00:17:56.385
  • This is the noun of the word chakam.
  • 00:17:56.385 --> 00:17:58.921
  • Now all these things may not mean much to you now,
  • 00:17:58.921 --> 00:18:01.423
  • But it will all come back, okay, because god wants to teach you,
  • 00:18:01.423 --> 00:18:03.992
  • Church, listen, god wants to teach you
  • 00:18:03.992 --> 00:18:05.394
  • The different rivers of wisdom he wants to release
  • 00:18:05.394 --> 00:18:07.763
  • In your life.
  • 00:18:07.763 --> 00:18:09.097
  • Like, today, we will say things like wisdom,
  • 00:18:09.097 --> 00:18:11.366
  • But then there's also discernment, amen.
  • 00:18:11.366 --> 00:18:13.869
  • There is astuteness.
  • 00:18:13.869 --> 00:18:16.638
  • There is a certain knowledge, amen.
  • 00:18:16.638 --> 00:18:21.243
  • All these words in english are different words,
  • 00:18:21.243 --> 00:18:23.445
  • But they all bring you to the same result,
  • 00:18:23.445 --> 00:18:26.281
  • A successful outcome, amen.
  • 00:18:26.281 --> 00:18:28.050
  • So there's a word called chokmah,
  • 00:18:28.050 --> 00:18:29.885
  • Which is also the word chakam in the verb form.
  • 00:18:29.885 --> 00:18:32.588
  • Tebunah, "happy is the man who gains understanding."
  • 00:18:32.588 --> 00:18:35.691
  • Tebunah is from bin.
  • 00:18:35.691 --> 00:18:37.693
  • Now, go back to "it gives understanding."
  • 00:18:37.693 --> 00:18:39.394
  • It gives bin to the simple.
  • 00:18:39.394 --> 00:18:41.396
  • Why am i giving you this chakam?
  • 00:18:41.396 --> 00:18:44.933
  • All right, chokmah is the noun of chakam and bin.
  • 00:18:44.933 --> 00:18:48.837
  • Why, because do you remember joseph,
  • 00:18:48.837 --> 00:18:52.474
  • When he was translating,
  • 00:18:52.474 --> 00:18:54.676
  • Interpreting the dream of pharaoh?
  • 00:18:54.676 --> 00:18:57.913
  • And pharaoh had a dream, and he interpreted the dream
  • 00:18:57.913 --> 00:19:00.249
  • To pharaoh.
  • 00:19:00.249 --> 00:19:01.583
  • And this is what joseph said to pharaoh
  • 00:19:01.583 --> 00:19:03.118
  • At the end of his interpretation.
  • 00:19:03.118 --> 00:19:05.254
  • He says to pharaoh, he said, "and the dream was repeated
  • 00:19:05.254 --> 00:19:08.490
  • To pharaoh twice because the thing
  • 00:19:08.490 --> 00:19:11.126
  • Is established by god, and god will shortly bring it to pass.
  • 00:19:11.126 --> 00:19:14.896
  • 'now therefore, let pharaoh select a discerning
  • 00:19:14.896 --> 00:19:19.901
  • And wise man, and set him over the land of egypt.'"
  • 00:19:19.901 --> 00:19:22.971
  • You know, joseph is very smart.
  • 00:19:22.971 --> 00:19:24.906
  • He didn't recommend himself.
  • 00:19:24.906 --> 00:19:26.241
  • He just says, "you know, pharaoh, now that we see
  • 00:19:26.241 --> 00:19:28.944
  • What's going to happen for the next seven years
  • 00:19:28.944 --> 00:19:30.812
  • And the seven years and all that,
  • 00:19:30.812 --> 00:19:33.181
  • Pick a man who is wise and discerning."
  • 00:19:33.181 --> 00:19:36.418
  • Discerning and wise, amen, a discerning and wise man.
  • 00:19:36.418 --> 00:19:39.955
  • And the word discerning is the word bin,
  • 00:19:39.955 --> 00:19:42.157
  • And the word bin is actually the word for discernment.
  • 00:19:42.157 --> 00:19:46.995
  • Joseph said, "let pharaoh select a discerning and wise man,
  • 00:19:46.995 --> 00:19:50.299
  • Set him over the land."
  • 00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:51.633
  • Now, wise here is the word chakam,
  • 00:19:51.633 --> 00:19:54.303
  • Where the noun is chokmah.
  • 00:19:54.303 --> 00:19:56.171
  • "happy is the man that finds chakam and bin,"
  • 00:19:56.171 --> 00:19:59.574
  • Right, chokmah and tebunah, which is the noun
  • 00:19:59.574 --> 00:20:02.844
  • Of these words.
  • 00:20:02.844 --> 00:20:04.179
  • These are the two exact words, amen, that's mentioned,
  • 00:20:04.179 --> 00:20:08.784
  • That happy is the man that finds them,
  • 00:20:08.784 --> 00:20:10.819
  • And joseph recommended such a man.
  • 00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:13.388
  • So the bible says, you drop down,
  • 00:20:13.388 --> 00:20:15.057
  • Look at pharaoh's response, "and pharaoh said
  • 00:20:15.057 --> 00:20:16.892
  • To his servants, 'can we find such a one as this,
  • 00:20:16.892 --> 00:20:19.661
  • A man in whom is the spirit of god?'
  • 00:20:19.661 --> 00:20:22.197
  • Then pharaoh said to joseph, 'inasmuch as god
  • 00:20:22.197 --> 00:20:24.733
  • Has shown you all this, there is no one
  • 00:20:24.733 --> 00:20:27.135
  • As discerning and wise as you.'"
  • 00:20:27.135 --> 00:20:30.138
  • There is no one as discerning and--
  • 00:20:30.138 --> 00:20:31.707
  • No one as bin and chakam as you, amen.
  • 00:20:31.707 --> 00:20:38.447
  • I'm here to tell you, friend, the world puts a premium
  • 00:20:38.447 --> 00:20:43.885
  • On discernment and wisdom, though they may not express it
  • 00:20:43.885 --> 00:20:49.858
  • In those words, but they value it.
  • 00:20:49.858 --> 00:20:52.594
  • Let's go back to the word sakal again.
  • 00:20:52.594 --> 00:20:54.396
  • Here it says, "you shall make your way prosperous
  • 00:20:54.396 --> 00:20:56.598
  • And you will have good success."
  • 00:20:56.598 --> 00:20:58.033
  • Remember, "jesus increased in wisdom and stature
  • 00:20:58.033 --> 00:21:01.336
  • And in favor with god and man."
  • 00:21:01.336 --> 00:21:02.971
  • As a boy, he grew up. he increased in wisdom.
  • 00:21:02.971 --> 00:21:05.273
  • By the way, the word increased is the same word used
  • 00:21:05.273 --> 00:21:08.343
  • In "thy profiting may appear to all," same word.
  • 00:21:08.343 --> 00:21:11.880
  • "jesus increased in wisdom and stature
  • 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.450
  • And in favor with god and man."
  • 00:21:15.450 --> 00:21:16.818
  • The very first area jesus increased as a boy
  • 00:21:16.818 --> 00:21:20.122
  • Was in wisdom, amen.
  • 00:21:20.122 --> 00:21:22.424
  • He must have meditated on god's word.
  • 00:21:22.424 --> 00:21:24.126
  • In fact, i have scripture to show you that jesus,
  • 00:21:24.126 --> 00:21:26.395
  • As a boy, meditated on god's word.
  • 00:21:26.395 --> 00:21:28.797
  • It's taken from the messianic psalm,
  • 00:21:28.797 --> 00:21:30.565
  • Psalms 119.
  • 00:21:30.565 --> 00:21:32.601
  • Here it says, verse 99, "i have more understanding
  • 00:21:32.601 --> 00:21:37.305
  • Than all my teachers, for your testimonies
  • 00:21:37.305 --> 00:21:41.376
  • Are my meditation."
  • 00:21:41.376 --> 00:21:43.211
  • Jesus, as a boy, has more understanding
  • 00:21:43.211 --> 00:21:46.281
  • Than all his teachers.
  • 00:21:46.281 --> 00:21:48.216
  • In fact, it's for you and me as well.
  • 00:21:48.216 --> 00:21:51.386
  • You can have more understanding than all your teachers.
  • 00:21:51.386 --> 00:21:53.321
  • Not more knowledge.
  • 00:21:53.321 --> 00:21:54.956
  • In fact, many-a-times they have more knowledge,
  • 00:21:54.956 --> 00:21:58.460
  • But god gives you understanding, more understanding
  • 00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:01.062
  • Than your teachers.
  • 00:22:01.062 --> 00:22:02.431
  • It's one thing to have knowledge.
  • 00:22:02.431 --> 00:22:03.965
  • It's another thing to have understanding.
  • 00:22:03.965 --> 00:22:05.300
  • By the way, the word understanding here
  • 00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:06.635
  • Is the word sakal, "you shall make your way prosperous,
  • 00:22:06.635 --> 00:22:09.738
  • And you shall have good success."
  • 00:22:09.738 --> 00:22:12.541
  • Good success is one hebrew word, sakal.
  • 00:22:12.541 --> 00:22:16.411
  • In other words, it is putting two and two together,
  • 00:22:16.411 --> 00:22:19.581
  • Amen, resulting in a successful, prosperous outcome.
  • 00:22:19.581 --> 00:22:23.819
  • Good success, amen.
  • 00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:26.154
  • That's the word sakal.
  • 00:22:26.154 --> 00:22:27.656
  • It's not enough just to hear, amen.
  • 00:22:27.656 --> 00:22:29.958
  • You need to meditate, and that's where sakal comes in.
  • 00:22:29.958 --> 00:22:32.694
  • That's where suniémi comes in.
  • 00:22:32.694 --> 00:22:34.596
  • You're able to put, "oh, i see it.
  • 00:22:34.596 --> 00:22:36.198
  • I see it now.
  • 00:22:36.198 --> 00:22:37.532
  • I know how to apply this in my life.
  • 00:22:37.532 --> 00:22:38.867
  • Yeah, i see it now. i see it now."
  • 00:22:38.867 --> 00:22:40.602
  • I cannot make you see it, amen.
  • 00:22:40.602 --> 00:22:42.871
  • You can hear what i'm teaching, but you need to meditate,
  • 00:22:42.871 --> 00:22:46.441
  • Ask god for the spirit of wisdom and revelation,
  • 00:22:46.441 --> 00:22:48.677
  • Amen, and meditate on verses that speak to you.
  • 00:22:48.677 --> 00:22:52.380
  • Will you do that?
  • 00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:53.715
  • The bible is full of hazon vision,
  • 00:22:53.715 --> 00:22:55.317
  • Treasures that god wants to bring into your life
  • 00:22:55.317 --> 00:22:57.752
  • For you to meditate on, for you to fill your--
  • 00:22:57.752 --> 00:23:00.222
  • The eyes of your heart with, amen.
  • 00:23:00.222 --> 00:23:02.157
  • And all of a sudden one day you'll wake up,
  • 00:23:02.157 --> 00:23:03.492
  • And you'll find, "where's that fear?
  • 00:23:03.492 --> 00:23:05.060
  • Where is that fear?"
  • 00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:06.561
  • And the bible says, "you will find his place no more."
  • 00:23:06.561 --> 00:23:09.331
  • Hallelujah, praise the lord.
  • 00:23:09.331 --> 00:23:11.266
  • Thank you, jesus.
  • 00:23:11.266 --> 00:23:12.601
  • I pray this encourages you to meditate on god's word, amen.
  • 00:23:12.601 --> 00:23:16.338
  • Find a simple verse of scripture, amen,
  • 00:23:16.338 --> 00:23:18.573
  • A verse that speaks to you.
  • 00:23:18.573 --> 00:23:20.542
  • Maybe it's one of the verses that i shared with you just now,
  • 00:23:20.542 --> 00:23:22.477
  • Maybe it's a verse, "the entrance of your words
  • 00:23:22.477 --> 00:23:24.813
  • Gives light."
