WISDOM DAIRY ON PROSPERITY

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.
