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.
