Apostle Joshua Selman || Prophetic Key That Is Responsible For Activating Speed

Apostle Joshua Selman: Prophetic key that is responsible for activating speed

1. Wisdom.

Matthew 25:1-13 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.” No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves. “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. “Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us! “But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

The bible lets us know that from the beginning of that parable to the end, they all remained virgin’s. Non of them were defied in as much as we understand.
So, it was not an issue of righteousness or unrighteousness, it was not an issue of sin or holiness, it was an issue of wisdom or foolishness.

They were all virgin’s, they had lamps but the bible says five among them whilst they were preparing for the arrival of the bridegroom, like you are preparing for your destiny. They factored him.

It is wisdom that makes you to be thoughtful , to anticipate the future, to prepare for the best but to also brace up for whatever comes.
So the bible said, some, in carrying their lamps, they said, peradventure, the bridegroom may have conditions beyond his control and that may affect his arriving early. Let’s not be careless, let’s not give chances. We have our lamps but let us take extra oil.

There was already oil in the lamp, but they carry extra oil. How many of you know that,  that would have been an extra burden for them? But they still carried it.
The sufferings of this present time is not worthy to be compelled to the glory that shall be revealed in us. There Are things that are needed but they are heavy and yet, there is a mandate on you to still carry them.

It is a difficult thing to juggle between your career and your efficient prayer, still carry it. It is difficult to juggle between parenting and being fervent in spirit and in the word. It is difficult to live at the other end of town and still be coming to church. But your diligence is you carrying extra oil.

The bible says they carry the extra oil. And then they all got there seated as virgins(am sure, discussing with one another).
But the delay of the bridegroom began to separate the virgin’s into two groups. It was not their fault, they all anticipated the bridegroom to come on time, like you are expected to go through life on time. And because things happen…. It was not their making and yet, they were still called fools for not anticipating.

For not anticipating, the bible calls such a man foolish.
For not anticipating that one day, your uncle may not be in government again and then to leave him and then start depending on God and learning how to depend on God, the bible calls such a person foolish. Anytime you do not carry extra oil, you are foolish.

The wisdom there is the ability to carry extra,  go the extra mile, pray the extra mile, serve the extra mile, give the extra mile, labor deligently the extra mile. Extra mile can literally be the difference between wisdom and foolishness.

There are very few believers who knows the value of wisdom. Most people do not know the value of wisdom.
So here is how it works. It’s a tripartite combo. It is wisdom/knowledge/understanding. Three of them works together.  You can not have wisdom until you have understanding.  And you can not have understanding  until you have knowledge.
What is knowledge? An acquisition  of fact, truth, a coalition of useful information bringing within your space.
Understanding is a comprehension of the working dynamics that activates those laws, those truths, those information so that they deliver.
Wisdom is the application of that which you now know.

How do I know that wisdom is at work in my  life? By the quality of your decisions and the results that follow.
If your decisions are not pro’advancement, not pro’Kingdom, not pro’glory, not pro’honor, always retrogressing and bringing you down. Wisdom is deficient.
