·58 min·5 clips

Archbishop Dr. T.L. Elliott explains why many lose their faith due to a lack of foundational understanding.

In this episode of The Voice, Apostle Dr. T.L. Elliott, recognized as an Archbishop and Apostle, delivers a solo teaching on the purpose of divine wisdom, part two. He starts by establishing the foundational need for believers to understand their faith deeply, referencing Paul's warning about falling away. Elliott defines divine wisdom as not merely knowledge but information with understanding, applied to produce results, which then becomes wisdom through experience. He cites James 3:13-17 as a core scripture, breaking down the attributes of divine wisdom: it is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Elliott explains that this wisdom comes in succession, building character day by day, and contrasts it with earthly, sensual, and devilish wisdom. He links divine wisdom to having dominion, referencing Genesis 1:28, and authority over what one knows. The teaching expands to Proverbs, where fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and Job, which connects wisdom to departing from evil. Elliott argues that divine wisdom should overtake worldly wisdom, not the other way around, and that believers cannot straddle both. He concludes by describing life as a continuous classroom where every experience contributes to divine intelligence, urging listeners to apply wisdom daily. The episode is structured as a biblical exposition with practical applications for spiritual growth.
