 Good morning, everyone. Welcome to a new week. Hope you had a good weekend. Let's begin this time with a word of prayer. So maybe one of us can please lead a prayer. Jai heavenly father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. We thank you for this day. We thank you for the class we are about to have. God, we just pray that as pastor teaches, help us to open our mind and heart and understand the deep truths on your word and help us to reflect you on this life no matter where we are, where we work, what we do. Whether we eat or drink, let it be done for your glory Jesus. I bless all the classmates and the pastors in the name of Jesus. In God, I pray that you will give us good wife and connection throughout the sessions that nothing be a distraction. Be with the same guidance in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Thank you, Jafina. Right, so we've been talking about principles for the workplace. And as I mentioned in the first class itself, there will be certain principles that and most of the principles that we are studying about can be used both at the workplace and in ministry. So it's not like, okay, this is only for the workplace. But we can use these principles in ministry. When you're building up an organization, when you're building up a church, these are some things that we can use to be effective in everything that we're doing, right? So we'll go ahead. We are in chapter seven. Again, as I always mentioned, feel free to stop me in between if you have any kind of questions. If you want to add your thoughts to what we are studying together, feel free to add your thoughts as well. Okay, so we're in chapter seven, innovation and creativity. The first thing that comes to your mind when you think about innovation and creativity is the first thing that comes to my mind at least is that God is a God who's creative. He can, you know, innovate and create things out of nothing. Romans talk about it. He calls those things that are not there as if they are there. He can, he has, you know, Genesis one, he has created everything. He purposed everything, right? So we need to understand that creativity and innovation is something that it comes from the wisdom of God. And, you know, problem solving is a game changer. We need to be inspired. We need to ask God to give us the wisdom to understand and to give us the wisdom to innovate, to be creative in our lives. And why is creativity important? Because if we keep doing the same thing, the same way it becomes redundant and when something becomes redundant, it will not be fruitful. Right? So this chapter, we'll just look at how, you know, God can enable each one of us to be innovative, to be creative in everything that we are doing. Right? So let's look at those points. First one, God reveals, instructs and teaches. So ask him. When we know that God is a God who reveals, that God is a God who teaches us, instructs us all through the Old Testament. We see that God instructs his people, God teaches his people. And then even in the New Testament, you know, with the Holy Spirit inside us, we have this additional, you know, benefit of just enquiring of the Lord. Let's look at Isaiah 28, 23 to 29. Can one of us please read that? Isaiah 28, 23 to 29. It's on your notes. Isaiah 28, 23 to 29. Can anyone read please? Isaiah chapter 28 was 23 to 29. Give ear and hear my voice, listen and hear my speech. Does the Pluman keep blowing all day to slow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the plots? When he was levelled at surface, does he not so the black cumin and scatter the cumin? Plant the wheat and roast the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in its place. For he instructs him in right judgment, his God teaches him. For the black cumin is not threshed with a threshing sledge. Nor is a cart wheel rolled over the cumin. But the black cumin is beaten out with a stick and the cumin with a block. That flow must be ground. Therefore, he does not thresh it forever. Break it with his cart wheel or crush it with his horseman. This also comes from the Lord of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. Thank you. So here we see that Isaiah is writing and he's just reminding the people that, you know, who gives wisdom and he's taking this example of farming and he says, look at how the farmer discovers all these things. How does he know where to put the grain? When to till it? What size it needs to be? When should I pull it out? When should I take the harvest? How do I build seeds? How does the farmer know? And then it goes on in that verse he says, because God teaches him. God instructs them. So God has taught a farmer how to do these things. And not only a farmer, a farmer is just an example, but God teaches us these things. God knows everything about his creation, the when, the why, the how, and the way he reveals and instructs them and the way he guides his people in this process of discovery. So here's the encouraging part. You and I as believers, with the Holy Spirit inside us, we can always ask God. There are plenty of verses. What does he say? Ask, shall we come to you? So when we ask God, I'm stuck in position, I'm stuck in this place. I don't know how to go forward. I don't know what I must do. Should I wait? Should I go? Should I, how do I come out of this situation? How do I come out of this challenge? Or, you know, how do I improve and better myself? We can ask the Lord. And when we ask, he teaches us, he instructs us. And, you know, he reveals his plans to us. He makes things that are unclear to us. He's able to reveal the deep, the dark secrets that are hidden because he knows everything. He knows everything. So this is so wonderful, right? As, you know, in ministry, business, everything that we're doing, imagine we can go to God. Now, it's not like God is going to give us like a blueprint, okay, point one, point two, point three. This is what you must do. It may not be so, but God can give us small nuggets of information. Do this. Or, you know, why don't you just do this for this problem that you're facing? Do this thing. He may give us a thought. He may give you an idea, right? Now, it may be a simple idea, but we've never thought of it. What is he doing? He's instructing us. Or he may reveal some secrets, you know, of his kingdom. And he may reveal things in such a beautiful way that, wow. Right? So very important. Ask him. Ask God to give us innovation. Ask God to help us to be creative. Now, being creative and being innovative, there is a natural process as well, right? As God gives the idea, we have to work towards implementing it. Right? So we co-labor with God. And there are plenty, plenty of places that we can learn. You know, we talked about Nehemiah. God gave the vision. God gave the idea, but he had to put it into force. He had to, Nehemiah had to do the natural part of, you know, working. But God gave him the wisdom. God gave him real, gave him the instructions. Right? And so, and so we can ask God. Look at Elijah. God told him it's going to rain. There was a practical thing that need to be done. God told Daniel that this is what I'm going to do in Babylon. So, but there was a practical thing to be done. So in every way, God is the God of all wisdom. Whether it be business, whether it be a new business, whether it be anything in this world, there is nothing that we can say, okay, God doesn't, maybe I should check with my, you know, seniors first. No, first go to God, ask God. And then we do the natural, right? You take, receive counsel from our seniors and Godly counsel and all of that. But God knows all things. What about science? He knows it all. Engineering, he knows it. Medicine, he knows it. He knows everything. So we can ask him. Look at this. I was reading this article about Israel. Just recently. And the innovations that the Israelites come up with, do you know that most of the medicines that we consume are all, about 80% of them are, have been, you know, made in Israel. And then they get the whole patent and then it goes, distributes all across the world. How is it? Because God is, you know, God is giving them the wisdom. Right. And so each one of us, it's not just Israel, but each one of us, even in what we are doing, can ask God to reveal, right? Wisdom is the most important thing. Proverbs chapter four verse five, five through nine, get wisdom and insight. Do not forget or ignore what I say. Do not abandon wisdom and she will protect you. Love her and she will keep you safe. Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get, get insight. Love wisdom and she will make you great. Embrace her and she will bring you honor. She will be your crowning glory. Right. And this was written by a man who was known as the wisest man in the world. And Solomon is saying in all that I have done, all the riches, all the wealth, all the fame and the power and everything that I have tasted. I'm sure he has tasted a lot. Solomon is saying, get wisdom, get insight. Don't ignore that because only wisdom will make you a great person. Wisdom is having the insight into true nature of things and the ability to determine their best use. Wisdom enables us to determine the right course of action. Wisdom is the ability to have foresight, to foresee what things might be like. Wisdom is to determine what needs to be done in the present to arrive at the best results for the future. And I'm sure most of us have heard this, you know, knowledge speaks but wisdom listens. Wisdom is the appropriate use of knowledge. And personally, this is personally, right, especially in ministry, of course even in the corporate place. But I'm just sharing from the ministry aspect, you know, we can be great preachers. We may know the scriptures in and out, which are very important, right? We may be, you know, very learned in the Word and, you know, flowing in the gifts of the Spirit. That's all wonderful. But, you know, one thing that I really learned was, you know, just to gain wisdom. Because sometimes in our zeal for things, in our zeal to do things, we switch off, we don't use wisdom, right? And then I've seen many, many, many, many people fail. Great men and women of God, great to be used by God. But then, no wisdom, right? There was this one person that I knew of, he was a pastor. And this is many, many years ago. And I heard this from somebody and it is true, you know, a close friend of mine. So this person was in ministry. And, you know, like in ministry doing everything, wonderful ministry. Ministry was growing here in the city of Bangalore, India. And ministry church was, he didn't have a church, but it was a ministry. He did many things evangelizing and preaching in different places and all that. And he had a secretary. Like he was married, he had a wife. I'm not sure if he had a child at that time, but he was married. And what happened? He had a secretary who was a woman. Now, many times he had traveled, you know, he had to go traveling to work meaning to preach in different places. So his secretary would, you know, book tickets and at times he would, the secretary would go with him, right? And so they would finish maybe two, three days ministry, come back. He was doing ministry, right? Wonderful ministry. People are, lives are being touched. People are getting saved. Lord is working miracles. Wonderful. What happened over time? A sad thing, but you know, there was, you know, the secretary and him got involved. They both got involved and it came out in the open. The secretary herself said, so this is what happened. He got involved with each other and it went out. Everyone got to know. And the wife said, I just thought she was a secretary. Just thought he's going for ministry for she was very heartbroken, but after a lot of counseling and he stepped down from the ministry, went into counseling, took many years break and the Lord just restored their relationship. But the damage was done. Now, is he a wonderful man of God? Yes. Did he walk in wisdom? No. Why? Because it's not wise to go with the secretary to do ministry somewhere when you have a wife, take your wife and go, right? It's simple. It's common sense, right? Or you go alone or you have a male partner to go with, right? So these are things that we need to think about. We have a lot of knowledge, but the enemy can use anything to bring us down, right? So be careful, be wise. You know, some of the things that we do at APC is we have certain guidelines and those guidelines are good. It's important. It's good that we have those guidelines. It's nothing wrong. It may look sound legalistic, but it's not legalistic. It's just being wise, right? The wisdom of God empowers and provides good counsel, common sense, right? Common sense, good leadership, fair legislation and brings wealth and glory, right? It was a wisdom of God that gave birth to creation. Therefore, when we are doing something, ask God for wisdom. God, how do I do this in the right way? How must I speak? What must I say? What must I not say? What must I do? What must I not do? God revealed to me, right? And I think that we need the wisdom of God. And there are plenty of stories that I can share. There are great, wonderful men and women of God, right? Just, you know, they left their calling that God has called them for. They just had to abandon it because of silly things which could have just been avoided if they had wisdom. You know, another businessman, they're not from our church, but another businessman that I know of, a strong believer, a wonderful man of God. He would donate and give for missions, missions, fields and a wonderful man of God. Powerfully, God was also using him to preach and teach in different places. But what happened? You know, as he was doing all of this, there were some unscrupulous methods that was used in the business and the business was affected. It came out in the open. And because of that, the business broke down. Nobody even called him again for ministry. All the words that held weightage was gone, right? So as children of God, as believers, let us all ask for wisdom. This is something that I personally always ask. So God, give me wisdom. Help me to do the right things at the right time. Because in our zeal, we may end up doing the wrong things in the wrong way or the right things in the wrong way, right? So we need to be aware. Welcome the spirit of wisdom to anoint you. Isaiah 11 and 2, the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. The spirit of understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom. He's the spirit of understanding. He's the spirit of knowledge, right? The Holy Spirit imparts the mind of Christ to us. The Holy Spirit reveals things which I have not seen. First Corinthians 2, I have not seen what years have not heard and the things that have not been thought of, right? So welcome his work in your life. Speak to him. Seek his guidance. Ask him for wisdom and tune into the Holy Spirit. Now how do we do that? We need to spend time with God. In our Sunday series, we're talking about daily devotion. We need to spend time with God. We need to spend time in God's Word, in prayer, the Holy Spirit, asking God to anoint. And wisdom will come. It keeps coming. God will reveal to us. God will tell us what we must do. Now remember, this quite a funny incident happened, but I am very grateful that this happened. You know, when we moved to the city of Mangalore, there was a bunch of, you know, about 10 girls who joined the church, about 10 girls. And we were, so about 20 people in the church, 10 girls. And so every now and then these girls would come to either to clean the church or for worship practice. And I remember, you know, it was the initial days. So these girls would come and there were times they would come, if they were coming for worship practice, so one girl would come and one, you know, one of them would play the drums or whatever. Many times at church, like there was one girl or maybe two girls, I would not enter the church. So the girls would say, come, first they come with a practice and say, no. And they would say, why? I would say, no, we'll wait for some time. And so I would wait for the guy to come and only then start the practice. But they may think, oh, what a silly thing this is. You know, in 2020 or 2020, this is a millennium, this generation is so old fashioned. I say, yes, I am old fashioned. Because the devil is the same, right? It doesn't matter whether it's, whether it's 2020 or whether it's 2014 or 1990, he's of the same. And through this day, I do that. Sometimes when I know that there's only one girl singing, I take my wife and come and sit. So what am I doing? I'm trying to avoid opening traps for the devil. Right now, it may sound very silly. But I thank God, because now, you know, I know that I haven't fallen in any trap. And please God for that, right? So now, why do we need it? We need the wisdom of God. Now I'm not saying that you have to do this, right? I'll just be wise. These are things that are very silly. Because sometimes we are too anointed, we forget about doing the right things. Too much of anointing. So just be wise. Just think about what we are doing. There's an anointing for artistic and creative skills. Men and women, all as believers, we are designated by God for a specific purpose. God gives us artistic skills. The spirit of God imparted to them or was imparted to them for completing a certain task. Don't let ideas get stagnant. So God is giving you an idea. God is giving you a strategy. Don't let it get stagnant. Begin to work on it. Begin to develop on it. We talked about it in the last chapter. Strategy and how to strategize. When you strategize, you ask God for wisdom. You write it down. Keep developing on it. Keep in mind that even after receiving the endowment of the Holy Spirit, we must follow this up with hard work and dedication and doing it. We talked about this as well. So God will give us the wisdom, the idea. We have to work to get things done. Don't just identify the problem. Bring the solution. Let's read the... It's a big, big verse. Genesis 41, 29 to 40, but I'll read that. Now, this is the whole thing of Joseph. We know the story. Joseph is in prison. The Pharaoh has a dream. Now, there will be seven years of plenty in the land of Egypt. He has already interpreted the dream. Now, he's bringing a solution. There will be seven years of plenty in all of the land of Egypt. And after that, there will be seven years of famine. And all the good years will be forgotten because the famine will ruin the country. The time of plenty will be entirely forgotten because the famine which follows will be so terrible. The repetition of your dream means that the matter is fixed by God and that he will make it happen in the near future. Now, you should choose some man with a wisdom and insight and put him in charge of the country. You must also appoint other officials and take a fifth of the crops during the seven years of plenty. Order them to collect all the food during the good years that are coming and give them authorities to store up grain and cities and garden. The food will be a reserve supply for the country during the seven years of famine which are going to come on Egypt. In this way, people will not starve. A king and his officials approved this plan and he said to them, we will never find a better man than Joseph, a man who has God's spirit in him. The king said to Joseph, God has shown you all this. So it is obvious wisdom and insight than anyone else. I will put you in charge of my country and all my people will obey your orders. Your authority will be second only to mine. What a powerful encounter this was. You know, it just shows how when God wants to change the sequence of events, he can do it in just a couple of minutes. Who knew about Joseph? Nobody knew about him. I think that, you know, probably the people inside there in the prison knew, right, part of his palace, a few of them knew him. And only a few of them knew what he was. And first of all, he was in prison. Joseph not only interpreted the dream, but he also gave a solution to that dream. Joseph didn't say, okay, here's what it is. A pharaoh, seven years, you will have plenty. Then it will be followed by seven years of famine. Make your plans. I've got to go back. He says, okay. Now, this is the problem. Here's what you can do. Seven years, you save up. The next seven years, you will have plenty for you and for the city and the entire nation of Egypt. He gave a solution. What happened? God elevated him. He became second-hand command. He described what was happening and he gave the king an idea as to what he must do. God's spirit gives us wisdom to comprehend and understand the true nature of problems. There will be situations. There will be problems. Right now, recently, few of them, especially in our, few of them that we know of, they have lost their jobs because of the recession that's happening. Companies are laying off a lot of employees and many of them came to me and said, just pray that God can give us a job. It's very disheartening. It's very sad to people who are working there faithfully for the past 10 years or so. Some of them were working there for five years, 10 years, but it's sad to hear that they've been laid off and that it's just an email. This is your last day or this is your last week. Thank you for serving with us. It's very difficult and they have families, they have children to look after. I was just praying yesterday, saying, God, give me the wisdom. What can I say to these people? It's a difficult time. They have worries, they are challenging. We need the wisdom to understand these situations that we are in. It may not be only on this. It could be also about our children, our families, raising up our next generation or how to do ministry, how to start off good businesses, anything. God gives us the wisdom to comprehend and understand the true nature of problems. He gives us the ability to foresee situations and plan ahead. That is very important. We need to foresee. What is ahead? This is what I must do. And later on, we'll also talk about financial stewardship and financial planning. Next one, step out to think and act in unfamiliar territory. Let's read this first chronicles, chapter 28, 10, 12 and 19. Look sharp now. God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined and do it. Then God presented his son Solomon with the plans for the temple complex. Ports, storerooms, meeting rooms and the place for atoning sacrifice. He turned over the plans for everything that God Spirit had brought to his mind. The design of the courtyard, the arrangement of the rooms and the closets for storing all the holy things. Here are the blueprints for the whole project which God gave me to understand it. David said. Look at this. God gives the wisdom to David on how to prepare everything. Last week, we talked about how God gave the wisdom to also have that 24-7 worship for 33 or years or 34 years. How God gave him the wisdom was 288 prophetic singers and the teams that would roster them over time and how that worship did not stop. God gave him the wisdom. One of the things that hold us back from innovating is our reluctance to step into unfamiliar territory. Now, there's a saying. It's easy. Our comfort zone. We thrive in our comfort zone. Me too. You ask me to speak some maybe any other thing. I get very nervous. But if you ask me to preach the word of God, it just comes out. It's my comfort zone. Or if you ask some of us, maybe worship leaders or your teachers, you have a comfort zone. If you're a worship leader, you can ask a worship leader, can you leave worship for the next two hours? It's their comfort zone. We have our comfort zones and it's wonderful because we thrive in it. We are excellent in it. But some of the things that stop us from being innovative is when we don't want to step out of our comfort zone. Unfamiliar territory. David grew up as a shepherd boy. But from a shepherd boy, God took him into leadership, military experience. These running away from Saul period was like a training for him. He had no prior knowledge of architecture, design, of buildings, nothing. He had no understanding. He was a shepherd boy. He knew how to kill a bear and a lion. He was good with his sling. He didn't know that you know about architecture. This is how the layout should be. This is how you can make the structure strong. I think he had no prior knowledge about it. But the spirit of God gave him the wisdom to design the entire complex. To complete the organizing of the Levites and the priests and everything was done by David. He never went for leadership classes on how to build teams. He never worked in a team. He was a one man, one boy going and looking after the sheep, coming back home, resting and sleeping. His brothers didn't bother about him. So he didn't know anything about teams. When he was running away, he was alone. He had one friend named him. Then there were some of them who said I will come under your leadership. I can just picture. So what do I do with these guys? Maybe he went back and he prayed and he said all these people are saying they will come with me. What should I do? How do I do them? I don't know. It's unfamiliar ground. But God gave him the wisdom. God gave him the wisdom to build a temple and come up with these plans and ideas. He came up with all the strategies and he shared all of that with his son Solomon who went on to build the temple. Everything was given by the spirit of God. I can always picture Solomon saying, dad, where did you get all these ideas? David saying, the spirit of God gave me the wisdom. The spirit gave him the exact specifications on how much gold, how much silver was needed for each article in worship and all these were unfamiliar areas yet they were very detailed from the Lord. There may be unfamiliar things that God may ask us to step into. Maybe you're a housewife or you're just working from home. God may ask us to step out and say, why don't you start this business? God, just a housewife. How will I do it? God will give me the wisdom. On the day, February 18th was our APC celebrated our 22 year anniversary and we were just got the opportunity to talk with the pastor and he was sharing about that first Sunday service and how it was just God gave him an idea and start off with what you have. That's all. He was mentioning that they went to many places looking to hire a hall but they didn't get any places. He was very discouraged and as he was praying, God told him start with what you have. What did he have? He was staying in his father's house his dad's house and this is where they started in the living room of APC started in the living room of his father's house. Start with what you have it was a simple instruction. Many times God may tell us to step out or to start with what you have. For example, if God is saying start a business and this is what I want you to do start with what you have. It's good to have the vision one day I'll be this, this, this but start with what you have even though it's unfamiliar ground. We need to learn to step out into unfamiliar ground and part of this is receiving ideas from the Holy Spirit and even as we receive these ideas what must we do with these ideas? We must enhance our knowledge our understanding and our skill we have to up our game get better at what we are doing. Daniel 1.17 As for these four young men God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Daniel and his three friends were in exile in a foreign land they have been selected to be in trained in language and literature by the Babylonians. Now what happened? They were young, they were bright they were intellectuals so God stepped in he empowered these young men to learn acquired knowledge understanding and skill. So they learned everything they learned the culture of the Babylonians they learned the language they were there, their job was to be in the court of the Babylonian king to be there and to learn and they grew in wisdom. Why is it that when the third empire Persian Empire came even though they destroyed the Babylonians the King Daraa didn't say now you serve the Babylonians so I'm not going to keep you around here they are our enemies King Daraa said see we've heard about you you have done some good things so you only continue as the governor you only look after the things that's also so when we enhance our knowledge understanding and skill God will open the right doors for us it's something that we must do right I remember this sharing yesterday talking to a few of our church folks and so I've showed camera shy I've shared with some of us here very camera shy I can't talk in front of a camera very very camera shy be very how do I what do I say I would go blank but then over time I realized hey I can't keep saying I'm shy of the camera and do nothing about it now it's coming time gone on those days when everything was going out preachers and doing all these things now things are changing I need to be bold enough if I want to do something I want to serve the Lord serve effectively I need to enhance I need to understand I need to come out of these places my comfort zone so was it difficult yes but there were some things that I had to learn and I'm still learning still learning do I still feel nervous yes but I keep telling myself God help me you know I keep learning how to be confident in front of the camera how to speak well just practical things upskilling on how we can do well see some of them are wired they can look at the camera and just speak out of the abundance of their heart and that's not one of me I'm very conscious about these cameras but I'm learning we can all enhance our knowledge enhance our skill upskilling what we have what we have not tried see if it's something that God wants us to do problems 1998 says do yourselves a favor and learn all you can then remember what you learn and you will prosper do yourself a favor and learn all that you can so it's a favor that we are doing to ourselves and remember what you learn so step out step out even in areas where you feel you are not confident at all right no it could be music it could be in terms of family raising up children it could be in terms of business or team leading or raising up leaders yes see because David as we talked about David didn't know anything about team leading and I can you know I can really sympathize and understand what he may have gone through because I didn't have any team leading skills and all of a sudden you are there you have some 15 people under you what do I do with them it's over time we can upskill we can learn it's very important to do that next one use your imagination trained your memory 2nd Timothy 1 7 powerful words we use it quite often for God it's not given us a spirit of fear but of power love and sound mind God has designed our mind God gave us the ability to use our mind our mind is our imagination our reasoning and our memory we talked about this on the last series my mind we went through those series and how the mind is a powerful tool yet it's also a tool which the enemy can use and come against us right the imagination but use your imagination train your memory in a way that can honor God in a way that could glorify God in a way that can build each one we train and develop our mental faculties and we use our imagination and we build on things whatever we are doing we build on it my teacher used to at Bible college he always used to always say this you know the greatest nation is your imagination because there's so much that can be done and nobody can stop us from imagining they're the good of that if God wants us to you know if you feel like God calling you for something and you imagine about it nobody can stop you from thinking hey one day my ministry will be 5000 people or one day my business will turn over this much amount of money and will be a business that will go for it nobody can stop you from imagining right but even as you imagine ensure that you train yourself you train your memory and make sure that everything that we do in there glorifying God I'm sure David and Joseph would have never imagined where they were just simple men but never imagined where God would have taken God had taken them Daniel to these high positions simple men the intellectual look at the New Testament the disciples simple uneducated unschooled people God used them so powerfully right they may have never imagined that 20 2000 odd years later that we're talking about Apostle Peter or Fisherman from gallery they would have never thought about it what are we trying to get at God can do great things in and through our lives what we need to ask God for wisdom we need to step in we need to do the
