🔥 Why This Message Is Trending Right Now
In an age of personal branding, self-made success, influencer culture, and the rise of AI-driven decision-making, this powerful sermon by Pastor Adama Segbedji is both prophetic and relevant. “Do Not Be Wise In Your Own Eyes” is not just a title—it’s a prophetic warning, a roadmap for divine alignment, and a reminder that true success begins with surrender.
As people chase likes, followers, platforms, and influence, God is calling His people back to reverence, purity, and wisdom from above. The Word of God remains the ultimate source of truth—even when social media says otherwise.
📖 Proverbs 3:7 – “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.”
💡 What Does It Mean to Be “Wise in Your Own Eyes”?
Pastor Segbedji boldly breaks down a trending trap in today’s society: self-idolatry—where people worship their opinions, their preferences, and their experiences more than they honour the voice of God.
Many Christians are falling for the deceptive gospel of self-reliance:
-
“Follow your heart” culture
-
“Manifest your dreams” spirituality
-
“My truth is enough” mindset
-
Replacing quiet time with quick Google searches
-
Choosing influencers over intercessors
But the Bible clearly teaches that this mindset leads to destruction.
📖 Jeremiah 17:9 – “The heart is deceitful above all things…”
📱 Wisdom or Worldly Algorithms?
With TikTok advice, YouTube shorts, viral podcasts, and AI answers at our fingertips, the temptation to rely on human knowledge is greater than ever. But trending advice doesn’t equal eternal wisdom.
Pastor Adama challenges us to stop seeking answers from:
-
Astrology apps
-
Motivational quotes with no biblical foundation
-
Relationship advice from ungodly sources
-
Money-making schemes without stewardship
Instead, we must return to prayer, fasting, and Word-based living. This is not old-fashioned—it’s God-fashioned.
🙇♂️ 5 Dangers of Being Wise in Your Own Eyes
-
You become spiritually unteachable
-
You delay divine breakthroughs through wrong timing
-
You disconnect from the Holy Spirit’s voice
-
You open doors to unnecessary battles
-
You mislead others who follow your example
This is why Pastor Adama Segbedji calls us to build our lives on Kingdom principles, not personal preferences.
📖 Isaiah 5:21 – “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes…”
🧭 The Fear of the Lord Is Trending in Heaven
While it may not trend on Instagram, the fear of the Lord is always trending in Heaven. This fear is not terror—it’s trust, it’s surrender, it’s deep awe and reverence.
Pastor Adama reminds us that:
-
You don’t have to understand to obey.
-
God doesn’t need your opinion—He wants your submission.
-
Holiness is not optional in the last days.
📖 Psalm 25:14 – “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him…”
🛠️ 7 Modern Signs You Might Be Wise in Your Own Eyes
-
You make major life decisions without prayer
-
You reject correction and accountability
-
You quote motivational speakers more than Scripture
-
You are always “right” in every conflict
-
You ignore godly counsel from leaders
-
You spiritualize rebellion as “independence”
-
You operate by feelings instead of faith
📈 Humility Is the New Growth Strategy
In the Kingdom of God, humility is the highest strategy for promotion.
As Pastor Adama often says, “Your next level is not in your hands; it’s in God’s hands.”
📖 James 4:10 – “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
To truly grow in:
-
Spiritual authority
-
Financial dominion
-
Relationship breakthroughs
-
Ministry impact
…you must first lay down your pride.
