Sunday Night Teaching #580 | |
Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille: "I see my life beyond today | |
and tomorrow. I see my life from generation to generation | |
causing the mystery to be lived." | |
History has honored great men and women throughout time | |
for their deeds: for their contributions to society, for | |
the nations they have conquered, for the scientific | |
discoveries they have made, for the contests they have | |
won. Those achieving the highest distinction have | |
received medals hung around their necks, parades held in | |
their honor, buildings named after them, and recognition | |
in Halls of Fame. A far greater honor remains, however, | |
than the awards and accolades men can bestow. The highest | |
authority decrees the greatest homage; God Almighty will | |
confer the crowns of highest award to those who have | |
truly distinguished themselves in His eyes when they | |
stand before Him someday. In that day, men will not be | |
decorated for winning military battles, building empires, | |
saving the environment, or winning ballgames. Our God has | |
reserved His esteemed tribute for those individuals who | |
have disciplined and dedicated themselves to rightly | |
dividing the Word of Truth, and who have sacrificed their | |
lives to serve the bread of life to mankind. He also | |
commands His people today to likewise give honor to whom | |
honor is due. | |
Romans 13:7 - Render therefore to all their dues: tribute | |
to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to | |
whom fear; honour to whom honour. | |
The Man Of God: | |
Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille was a man of God in every sense | |
of that phrase. He lived for God, walked with Him, and | |
spoke for Him. He knew the Shepherd; and he knew how to | |
lead others to Him. Young Victor Paul heard God's clarion | |
call on his life, and he poured out his life in tireless | |
service for Him. The Lord found a powerful, one-of-a-kind | |
man of unique abilities; and V.P. Wierwille proved to | |
have a many-faceted, power-filled ministry. | |
2 Timothy 3:17 - That the man of God may be perfect, | |
throughly furnished unto all good works. | |
The Workman: | |
2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, | |
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly | |
dividing the word of truth. | |
As the workman of God's Word, Dr. Wierwille never | |
approached his research like a theologian looking to gain | |
pleasure through some merely abstract theology. Instead, | |
as a faithful son, he diligently sought through his study | |
to better know the heart of his Father God, to tap into | |
the resources of the more abundant life, and to manifest | |
the power from on high, and, in turn, to teach others how | |
to do the same. | |
V.P. Wierwille toiled 14 to 16 hours per day, week after | |
week, year after year in his exploration of the truth. He | |
traveled all over the country, going wherever he thought | |
someone might be able to help him in his quest. As he | |
faithfully shared what he learned with others, God | |
enlightened Victor Paul's understanding of His truth to a | |
degree not known since the first century church. Although | |
Dr. Wierwille attended some of the finest universities in | |
earning his degrees in theology, he came to realize that | |
working the Word of God was more than a mere academic | |
pursuit; it required an in-depth spiritual perception and | |
awareness. While he learned from other scholars, and | |
while talented students later contributed to his work, | |
Wierwille always accepted the final responsibility for | |
his workmanship in rightly dividing the Word of truth. | |
His contributions to Biblical scholarship are numerous | |
and extensive, but perhaps his greatest accomplishment | |
was putting the whole Word of God together so that it fit | |
like a hand in a glove from Genesis to Revelation. | |
The Teacher: | |
The title so well described him that some students came | |
to use it like another name to refer to Victor Paul | |
Wierwille. Teaching was his life, and he was a master at | |
it. In churches, homes, classrooms, auditoriums, colossal | |
tents, convention centers, camps, college campuses--and | |
any other place that God led him to--Dr. Wierwille | |
taught. He thrilled crowds that numbered in the tens of | |
thousands with his powerful preaching of the Word of God. | |
And like a master craftsman training an apprentice, he | |
also patiently worked one-on-one to instruct a student. | |
Through his teaching ministry, souls that hungered and | |
thirsted were filled; and people were healed and | |
delivered physically, mentally, and spiritually. Dr. | |
Wierwille expounded the greatest detail and deepest | |
riches of truth to his most advanced and committed | |
students, and, in doing so, he lit a fire in their souls. | |
He tugged at the hearts of all who heard him teach as he | |
showed them the heart of the Father. And as the master | |
teacher, he found his greatest reward in eyes that opened | |
and minds that asked. | |
2 Timothy 2:2 - And the things that thou hast heard of me | |
among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful | |
men, who shall be able to teach others also. | |
The Leader | |
Acts 26:18 - To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] | |
from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan | |
unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and | |
inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that | |
is in me. | |
Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille was widely described as a | |
dynamic and charismatic leader. He was a man who | |
possessed extraordinary vision along with the remarkable | |
ability to achieve it. His God-inspired goal was to reach | |
the world with the accurate knowledge of the truth: The | |
Word over the world. Beginning with just twelve people, | |
and without the support of any denomination, during his | |
lifetime he reached thousands upon thousands of people in | |
countries all over the world with the truth. Joyfully | |
serving for over forty years, Dr. Wierwille personally | |
oversaw the myriad activities involved in carrying out | |
the work of that ministry. And over 25 years after his | |
passing, generations of men and women the world over | |
continue to reap the rewards of that vision. | |
Victor Paul's abilities far exceeded natural talents. His | |
God-given gift and his operation of those spiritual | |
enablements were at the core of all of his | |
accomplishments. As a minister of Christ, Dr. Wierwille | |
demonstrated a unique and amazing capacity to communicate | |
the love of God. You could spend one day with Doctor, as | |
he was affectionately called, and feel more love than you | |
received from others in a lifetime. For those of us who | |
had the privilege to sit at his feet as he taught the | |
Word of God, we may say that we have had 10,000 | |
instructors, but only one father in the Word. And for the | |
future generations that will live victoriously in God's | |
living room, they will cross the rising river of doubt on | |
the bridge that he built for them. | |
