NUGGETS FROM PASTOR POJU OYEMADE’S TEACHING: THE FACES OF WISDOM – SKILLS MATTERED MOST.

Never forget this: “Your Next Level is hidden in People that you are interacting with” – So, do it with Wisdom.

Alright, People are the one that are carrying these things – So, do it right with Wisdom.

Sometimes ago, something happened to me – The generator in my house had been going off for two (2) days.

So, I told the Technician and he said we have to re-ring it.

He said what will happen is that we are going to bring the engine down and you have to give us two (2) days to do that.

So, I said alright, If I want to travel I will let you know so that you can come.

But then few days after on Saturday before Sunday; around 3.00 O’clock; the generator went off. So, I called the chap and he sent his guy.

The guy tried and tried till 5.00pm, he couldn’t just start it this time.

He came and knocked and said: Pastor, your generator is not coming up today.

Now, Saturday by 5 O’ clock; means so much – You have Services to prepare for.

You may know and understand this: If you are used to Preparing in a certain Place; you are used to Pray in a certain Place – So, going to stay in a hotel changes the game.

The anointing will not be the same.

I’m just telling you this because you have the distance you walk when you are Praying – Now, the hotel room doesn’t have that distance. It may be shorter. It affects things. The bed is different.

So, I didn’t want to go.

I told my wife, I’m ain’t going anywhere. She said: “You always say that”.

I said, I’m not going anywhere.

I would rather stay inside this house with darkness and Pray for the meeting than go out where there is light.

But inside me I just knew that this chap, there is more to these things. So, I now thought about something.

I called someone, an elder friend of mine. I was trying to ask about an old engineer.

He said oh, I don’t have that guy’s number.

There is somebody and he called the guy.

The guy came in at 6 O’ clock. He just went to the generator. And after ten (10) minutes, he said everything was working.

So, I called him and asked what happened.

He said it is one small wire. I removed it and did that. He said we will just do a few things there.

Now, so when he was leaving I now wanted to pay him – Now, you have got to understand this alright.

Because he told me. I said ok. I will get back to you.

He said it was my “oga” (boss) that called me. The Person that called me is my “oga” (boss).

I was working on somebody’s engine when the chap called me. And the way he spoke about you; I dropped everything I was doing. I told them I’m coming and I ran to your house to do it.

I’m just trying to say that if you don’t have that kind of relationship Investment with People.

The guy who was coming to removed the engine said: “We will come this morning when you go to Church “.

The engine will be down now pieces. And he would be working and we would be paying for it.

Now, you might have situations. I’m not talking about generator – When your engine has removed unnecessarily.

Are you following what I’m saying here – You have got to understand this. And the guy came and did it.

It was time for me to pay him money and I thought about the hotel bills.

Now, you want to pay somebody money. You aren’t just going to pay him for ten (10) minutes work – You have to pay him for relieving you of trouble.

Because some of you when you bring the money out, then you will begin to count it and you will cut the guys heart.

Now, the guy didn’t know what he has saved from. But my conscience wouldn’t allow me to give him something without the recognition of his saving work over my life.

Now, we will get to it when we get to spiders.

They take hold with their hands – That is talent, skill. And we Christian we mix up things.

When the Bible says Spiders take hold with their hands – It is Pure Skills.

Skills opens doors.

Listen, you know we miss things. We say, I’m a Nice Person.

Niceness doesn’t opens the door – It is Skill!

Now, you are in office. You are greeting everybody yes sir, yes sir. That doesn’t open those doors – It is Skill.

And the Skill, whoever that is carrying the Skill – It doesn’t matter whether the Person comes to Church or not, that is irrelevant.

God forbid, if you have a family member that has a condition and they say there are only two (2) Doctors that can do it in the world.

Do you ask which religion are you?

Do you ask anything? – That are you a man of one (1) wife.

You don’t ask any of that! – That is your Problem.

What you are looking for is Skill.

So, we confuse things: Spiders they are in Kings Palace because they have Skills!
