Open Heaven 26 March 2022 Message
Today we shall continue to
examine the subject of dominion. This time we are looking at dominion through
divine wisdom which is the correct application of divine knowledge. Our memory
verse describes wisdom as the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7).

Why is wisdom so important and correlated with dominion? The Bible says,For
wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge
is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it (Ecclesiastes 7:12).
The Bible further says Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty
men which are in the city (Ecclesiastes 7:19).
Furthermore, the Bible says: “A wise servant shall have rule over a son
that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
Proverbs 17:2.”
One secret of the choice of Joshua as Moses successor is wisdom, according
to our text for today. How did he acquire this wisdom that gave him dominion?
The same text reveals that Joshuas predecessor (Moses) laid his hands upon him.
In other words, there was a transfer of anointing for wisdom, from Moses to
Joshua. There is a lesson here: Joshua served his master wholeheartedly and he
got what even the elders of Israel could not get wisdom, which earned him
dominion as the children of Israel obeyed him.
Joshua 1:1 establishes the truth that Joshua indeed served Moses. The
problem with modern day followers is that they are not ready to serve
wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, scholars and motivational speakers overemphasize principles
of leadership only to leave the principle of followership behind. The truth of
the matter is that you cannot be a good leader without first being a good
follower.
Joshua was a good follower, servant and diligent apprentice in the school
of leadership; hence, he had dominion.
Beloved, if you want to have dominion, you must be full of divine wisdom.
This is why the Bible says wisdom is the principal thing.
This is possible through a daily study of the Bible. As you study the word
of God, the Holy Spirit will reveal wondrous things unto you (Psalms 119:18 ).
