Pastor Chris’ Teaching on the True Wisdom from God
In a world filled with knowledge, advice, and opinions, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome reminds believers that intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Preaching from the words of Jesus in Matthew 10:16—“Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”—he explains that true wisdom is not a product of human calculations but a gift from God revealed in His Word.
Pastor Chris explains wisdom beyond intelligence
Pastor Chris draws a clear line between intelligence and divine wisdom. Many people are intelligent. They have brilliant minds, sharp reasoning, and deep knowledge of world affairs. They can speak on television, give advice, and share strategies. Yet, Pastor Chris says this does not make them wise in God’s eyes.
The wisdom Jesus spoke of is different. The Greek word frodnemous means sagacious, discreet, and wise. It is wisdom that does not rely on human logic but flows from God’s Spirit.
The Word of God is wisdom
“You cannot be wise in your own concepts. You cannot be wise with the wisdom of man. The Word of God is wisdom, true wisdom,” Pastor Chris teaches. He explains that God’s Word is the foundation of real understanding.
This wisdom is more than clever ideas. It shapes how you live, speak, and make decisions. It equips you to handle challenges without fear. It also guards you from being deceived by the noise of worldly opinions.
Pastor Chris: wisdom is knowing God’s mind
To live wisely is to know the mind of God. Pastor Chris highlights that wisdom means asking: What does God think? What does He expect of me? What does He want me to do?
While human beings may argue over politics, leadership, and solutions, divine wisdom points to eternal truth. It gives clarity in confusion and peace in the middle of chaos. It is not about knowing everything but about knowing the right thing—God’s will.
Harmless as doves, bold as serpents
Jesus balanced wisdom with gentleness. Pastor Chris notes that Christians are called to be harmless as doves. This means living without malice or harm to others. Yet, like serpents, they must be sharp, discerning, and ready for the challenges of the world.
This balance is possible only through God’s wisdom. Human reasoning may lead to pride or division, but God’s wisdom produces humility, strength, and love.
“You cannot be wise in your own concepts. You cannot be wise with the wisdom of man. The Word of God is wisdom, true wisdom.” – Pastor Chris
Why divine wisdom matters today
Pastor Chris stresses that in today’s world, voices compete for attention everywhere—on TV, social media, and public platforms. Many claim to know what nations should do, what leaders should decide, and how others should live. But the question is, as Pastor Chris asks, who’s listening?
Divine wisdom cuts through the noise. It directs the believer to act according to God’s plan and not be swayed by endless debates. It teaches discretion, giving strength to walk uprightly in a complex world.
Living daily by God’s wisdom
Pastor Chris calls on the Church to embrace this wisdom in daily life. Start each day with the Word. Pray for insight from the Spirit. Measure decisions by God’s truth, not by human standards. This is how believers become wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Such a life honors God and protects the believer from error. It also makes them a light to others, showing that wisdom is not about knowing everything but about knowing God’s way.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s teaching on true wisdom is a call to live differently in a noisy world. Intelligence may impress, but only God’s wisdom transforms. It equips believers to navigate life with faith, peace, and discretion, walking in the mind of Christ and shining as harmless doves in a world that needs the light.
God bless you!
