Succeed in life with the intelligence of God
Sunday, July 5, 2026
Base text: Exodus 3:1-15
There's one sentence that could sum up this entire message: if God's children truly understood their Father's intelligence, the world would be stunned by the results that follow them.
God's intelligence isn't an abstract concept. It's His way of doing things in His Kingdom. And through the story of Moses at the burning bush, this morning's Word laid out five principles for learning to cooperate with that intelligence.
I. God Is a God of Covenant
Some things happen in your life not because you asked for them, but because of a covenant. God locates Moses because of a pact made long before him, with Abraham (Genesis 15:13-15).
The covenant orchestrates events you won't always understand in the moment. That doesn't mean God has abandoned you.
"It's witchcraft to make you believe witches can stop your destiny." — Dr Raoul Wafo
II. God Shows Grace to Whom He Wills
Grace is a protocol flowing from the Creator's sovereignty (Hebrews 4:16). Before grace, there is always mercy: God knows the person He grants grace to doesn't deserve it. Mercy spares you the punishment you deserved; grace comes after, as an overflow.
Grace doesn't need to know your contact list. It finds on its own everything needed to make you capable.
"Illness is only factual, temporary information." — Dr Raoul Wafo
Realizing your own strength can become a source of weakness, while becoming aware of your weaknesses can become an argument of strength. Realizing your strength can even lead to downfall. God loves humility — and the more you know Him, the less you feel the need to insist on certain details. Each of us will bear fruit in our season.
III. God Is a God Who Keeps His Promises
God is not a man, that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). He speaks in the present and fulfills in the future (Joshua 21:45). What He expects isn't for you to force the fulfillment, but to believe in His promise — and therefore in the One who made it.
"We don't pray to be blessed. We are blessed, that's why we pray." — Dr Raoul Wafo
There is no expiration date on God's promise, and circumstances have no power over it. When things get harder and more intense, it's not a sign of abandonment — it's often a sign that God is in the process of bringing you out of it.
"To wait patiently is to keep the right attitude even when it's taking long." — Dr Raoul Wafo
IV. There Are Carriers of Grace
Every time Heaven has something for you, a person on earth has to carry it to you (1 Peter 4:10 | Genesis 18:1).
"By working in the grace you've been given, you end up becoming a dispenser of that grace." — Dr Raoul Wafo
Some things will never happen if someone hasn't gone ahead to prepare the way for God.
V. God Is a God of Sacrifices
The story of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22:1-12) sets the framework. Two factors come into play:
The voice of God — it's God, not the pastor, who tells you what He wants.
The mountain — it's God who designates the place, the specific area in which He expects that sacrifice.
There are levels of access in the spiritual realm that can never be obtained without sacrifice (Genesis 22:16).
"The measure of your sacrifice determines the access Heaven has in your life." — Dr Raoul Wafo
Whoever doesn't know how to sacrifice will never enjoy what Heaven has in store for them.
Cooperating with God's intelligence isn't about understanding Him intellectually. It's about aligning the way you live with the way He does things.
Stay strong,
We're in this together 🤍
