Prophetic Theme: WISDOM FROM ABOVE ENTHRONES – Gen. 41:38-44
Teaching series: UNVEILING THE REALITY OF WISDOM FROM ABOVE – Jam. 3:15-
17

Covenant Day of Fruitfulness

 Fruitfulness of the body is our heritage in Christ
– Psa. 127: 1-2. A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour
in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 2: It
is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his
beloved sleep.
Deut. 7:14. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren
among you, or among your cattle.
 Fruitfulness is listed among our rewards for serving God and the interest of His kingdom
– Exo. 23:25-26. And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy
water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26: There shall nothing cast their
young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Psa. 127:3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Mat. 6:33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
 Our Father is the ‘baby-maker’, we cannot be baby-beggars.
– Psa. 100:3. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we
ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture
Jer. 1:5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of
the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
 But joy and rejoicing is a covenant requirement for fruitfulness
– 1 Sam. 1:13-19. Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice
was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 14: And Eli said unto her, How
long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. 15: And Hannah answered and
said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong
drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. 16: Count not thine handmaid for a
daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
17: Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition
that thou hast asked of him. 18: And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So
the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad. 19: And they
rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to
their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
Psa. 67: 5-7. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6: Then shall
the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7: God shall bless us;
and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

On the other hand;

 By redemption, we are ordained to enjoy and not to endure life.
 – Jn. 10:10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
2 Pet. 1:3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life
and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
 As a seed of Abraham, we are redeemed to live in the garden of life and not in a wilderness
- Isa. 51:2-3. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him
alone, and blessed him, and increased him. 3: For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort
all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden
of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

 The same way David stepped out of the wilderness into the palace after he was anointed, every
one of us shall be stepping out of our wilderness journey today.
– 1 Sam. 16:13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his
brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose
up, and went to Ramah.
vs 19-22. Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which
is with the sheep. 20: And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid,
and sent them by David his son unto Saul. 21: And David came to Saul, and stood before him:
and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. 22: And Saul sent to Jesse,
saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
Isa. 10:27. And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off
thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
anointing

come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had
anointed to cut off the house of Ahab
 The Healing Power of God.

sceptre. 7: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8: All thy garments smell of myrrh,
and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
Psa. 44:3. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own
arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because
thou hadst a favour unto them.
 The seal of Dominion.
– Psa. 89: 20-24. I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 21:
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22: The
enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23: And I will beat
down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 24: But my faithfulness and
my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
Luk. 10:19. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS CHURCH

……Gen. 28:16-17. And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I

and this is the gate of heaven.
2 Sam. 7:10. Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in
a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as
beforetime,

– Psa. 126:1-2. A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we

saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40: Jesus
saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the
glory of God? 41: Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42: And
I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that
they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43: And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a
loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44: And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot
with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose
him, and let him go.
 Sickness to Health.
– Mat. 8:16-17. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed

infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
 Childlessness to Fruitfulness – Psa. 127:1-2. A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD
build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman

sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
 Frustration to Celebration.
 – Act. 3:2-8. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid

Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5: And he gave heed unto

this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7: And they beckoned
unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And
they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

Just as the blessings of God upon Abraham was made manifest in the life of Lot, in the same vein,
everyone that belongs to this Church family shall continue to manifest the fulness of the blessings
of God upon this Church – Gen. 13:5. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds,
and tents.
