God's Accelerated Programme for Raising Stars
God has a divine plan for raising stars in His kingdom. The journey to greatness is orchestrated by His wisdom, as revealed through His Word.
Key Scriptures:
- Isaiah 60:1-8, 15, 22
- Revelation 22:16
- John 1:1-3, 14
Jesus, the Bright and Morning Star, is the Word in action. He exemplifies what it means to live a life guided by divine wisdom. Just as Jesus demonstrated the Word, we too are called to put the Word into action. “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19).
Wisdom, Obedience, and Destiny
No one can make themselves great. We are all products of God’s making, and our placement in life is determined by our obedience to His instructions.
- “The Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.” (Deuteronomy 32:9-14)
- Jesus was exalted because of His obedience: “He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” (Philippians 2:8-10)
Obedience is the foundation of greatness in God’s kingdom. To fulfill destiny and end as wonders, we must be committed to the dictates of His Word.
Beware of Overconfidence
The assumption of knowledge is the hallmark of ignorance.
- “Be not overly wise; why should you destroy yourself?” (Ecclesiastes 7:16)
- Certificates mark the limits of human knowledge and the vastness of ignorance.
The wise continually seek to learn, while the ignorant assume they know everything. Wisdom demands a hunger for more insight and revelation:
- “If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.” (1 Corinthians 8:2)
Biblical Examples of Wisdom in Action
Isaac:
- Isaac practiced meditation, unlocking divine direction. (Genesis 24:63, 26:1-3, 12-14)
Joseph:
- Joseph’s star shone through divine wisdom in action.
Daniel:
- Daniel’s exceptional wisdom elevated him to prominence. (Daniel 1:17, 2:16, 46)
Job:
- Job thrived by operating divine secrets. (Job 29:4)
Paul:
- Paul’s profound wisdom set him apart as a spiritual giant. (2 Peter 3:15-16)
Giants of the scriptures are forged through the crucible of wisdom.
How to Access Divine Secrets
Fear of the Lord

- The fear of God manifests in:
- Hatred for evil (Proverbs 8:13, Ephesians 5:11)

Introduction: Navigating the Challenges of Life
In this world, challenges are inevitable. Jesus warned us about tribulations, but He also assured us of victory in Him. (John 16:33) Your source defines your resources—this is why connecting with God’s covenant is essential. “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” (Psalm 89:34)
Understanding Covenant Gateways and Divine Wisdom

This wisdom is superior to human intellect. It provides solutions to all human questions and is the key to enthronement in life. (Isaiah 55:9, Proverbs 1:5)
The Price for the Wisdom from Above
The wisdom from above comes with a price. Biblical examples such as Daniel, Joseph, and Paul reveal that this wisdom demands:
- Purity: Daniel demonstrated zero tolerance for defilement. (Daniel 1:8, 6:4-5)

Hating Evil: Rejecting sin and refusing to normalize it as weakness. (Proverbs 8:13, 19:8)c. Loving Righteousness: Storing God’s Word in your heart for direction and protection. (Psalm 119:11, 105)
