THE INSPIRED WORD: REVELATION AS KINGDOM REALITY
1. The Nature of the Inspired Word
The inspired word in the Kingdom is revelation, not mere information.
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts… So is my word that goes out from my mouth—it will not return to me empty.”
— Isaiah 55:8–11 (MSG)
God’s thinking pattern is superior to human reasoning.
God’s Word cannot fail.
God’s Word creates realities, not opinions.
Revelation is divine insight released from eternity into time.
2. The Right Attitude to Revelation
God’s Word must never be treated casually.
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
— Matthew 4:4
“He humbled you… to teach you that man does not live by bread alone.”
— Deuteronomy 8:3
“I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.”
— Job 23:12 (NKJV)
🔑 Key Principle:
Never value personal opinion, experience, or emotion above what God has said.
Your experience is subject to God’s Word.
Whatever does not align with the Word is out.
3. Revelation Versus Human Wisdom
“My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom…”
— 1 Corinthians 2:1–4
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth…”
— Joshua 1:8
“He who despises the word will be destroyed.”
— Proverbs 13:13
God responds to trembling at His Word, not debating it
— Isaiah 66:2 (NLT)
4. Process: God Is Checking Capacity
What you are going through is God’s assessment system.
Before God releases what is prepared, He checks who is prepared.
Heaven has no shortage of resources.
The problem is always the container.
“No one puts new wine into old wineskins.”
— Luke 5:36 (NLT)
5. Revelation Is Spiritual Reality
“But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.”
— Job 32:8 (NKJV)
Revelation is not intellectual brilliance;
It is spiritual alignment.
6. The Question of Spiritual Nature
You must certify your spiritual nature to access God’s realm.
“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit…”
— Romans 8:16
“Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
— John 8:43–47
You either carry God’s nature
or operate under another source.
Only those who share God’s nature can receive from God.
7. Capacity: Expanding the Mental Frying Pan
God wants to say more, but He speaks based on capacity.
“I could not speak to you as spiritual people but as carnal…”
— 1 Corinthians 3:1–4
📌 The Frying Pan Philosophy (Acts 10:1–18):
God had to enlarge Peter’s mental and cultural framework before He could shift nations.
8. The Role of the Mind (RAS Principle)
The Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters information to prevent overload.
This means:
You only notice what your mind is trained to receive
Revelation bypasses cultural filters
Culture can block divine signals if unchecked
➡ Don’t be trapped by cultural limitation.
9. Culture, Power, and Principles
Africans believe strongly in power, but often undervalue principles.
Other climes emphasize logic, research, systems, and scientific thinking—and they have shaped the world.
🔑 Kingdom Balance:
Power for miracles
Wisdom for systems
Revelation for innovation
Principles for sustainability
“Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 1:24
10. Divine Information and the Word
“In the beginning was the Word…”
— John 1:1
The Word (Logos) is not just information—
The Word is a Person.
God releases divine information to create global shifts.
11. A Prophetic Outlook
God is preparing a massive shift:
In Africa
Across the world
Through creative ideas
Through renewed minds
Through believers who can receive revelation and steward systems
Something great is unfolding.
DECLARATIONS
(To Maintain the Word)
I value God’s Word above my opinions
My capacity to receive revelation is expanding
I am not limited by culture or past experiences
I carry God’s nature and hear His voice clearly
I receive power and wisdom for global impact
I am a prepared container for divine resources
