WISDOM DAIRY ON DEDICATION

Wisdom Diary on Dedication

Introduction
Wisdom Diary is a collection of powerful, faith-building,
success-motivating and life-transforming quotes from Dr.
David O. Oyedepo.
These quotes, as you meditate on them (along with the
corresponding scriptures), will fortify and encourage you to
rise up to a more meaningful and productive Christian life.
They are words you will never forget! They are words you
go to bed with, and you wake up full of electric ideas that
will make a shining star out of you.
They are words brewed in a hot pot of a heart full of
insights and revelations, with spiritual understanding that
has been proved in 27 years of adventurous Christian
living, and 15 years of committed ministry.
They are not words of an academic mind, No! They are
words of a mind that is breathing with the intensity of the
life of God, contacted through a diligent study life.
They are words coming from a wealth of knowledge,
gathered through excited fellowship with anointed books,
and ceaseless search in the Bible—"God’s wisdom bank",
as Dr. Oyedepo calls it.
As you treasure these words of wisdom, your life will
surely blossom into an enviable treasure on the earth.
Don’t only read these words, think them, talk them and do
them. They will mould your destiny.
