A Man of Gold: Bishop Tudor Bismark’s Blueprint for a Life of Wisdom, Wealth, and Righteousness

Introduction:
At the Greater Works 2025 Conference, Bishop Tudor Bismark of New Life Covenant Church delivered a profound and richly layered message that blended spiritual insight with practical wisdom.

Preaching from Psalm 23, Bishop Bismark unfolded what he calls the “Man of Gold” series—a leadership-focused teaching built on decades of revelation and experience.

With a masterful blend of Scripture, story, and structure, he unpacked timeless truths about favour, wealth, personal development, and divine alignment.

Key Highlights of the Sermon:

1. Green Pastures: Life by Design
   Bishop Bismark emphasized that God doesn’t ask—He makes us lie down in green pastures (Psalm 23:2). These “green pastures” symbolize divine favour that leads to wisdom, problem-solving, and ultimately wealth. “Life by design, if designed properly, creates wealth,” he declared. He illustrated this with his own marriage testimony, sharing how intentionality and vision led to a life of global impact and abundance.
2. Still Waters: The Journey to Mastery
   The “still waters” represent competence. According to Bishop, competence builds trust, and trust develops values. “Values manage behaviour, and behaviour leads to mastering oneself.” This self-mastery establishes lasting change and produces generational wealth. “Know thyself. Master yourself,” he charged.
3. The Seven Golden Paths of Righteousness
   Unpacking Psalm 23:3, he laid out seven interconnected paths:
   • The way of wisdom
   • The way of good men
   • The path of life
   • The Lord’s paths
   • The path of God’s commandments
   • The ancient paths
   • The by-paths and highways
   “Each path must be walked in sequence,” he said. “You don’t get the highway until you’ve walked through wisdom, uprightness, and obedience.”
4. Ancient Paths and Personal Covenants
   Drawing from Jeremiah 6:16, Bishop urged believers to “ask for the ancient paths,” even if they involve suffering. He lamented how the modern church overly emphasizes material blessings while ignoring the price of obedience and sacrifice. “I can’t promise you a car or a house—but I can promise you a sword and grace for your thorn.”
5. The Laws of Honour, Place, and the Seed
   He also shared powerful life principles:
   • The Law of Honour – “Celebrate difference, but recognise weirdness.”
   • The Law of Place – “You are assigned to a place. Don’t abandon it.”
   • The Law of the Seed – “Your seed, not your need, determines your harvest.”

Conclusion:

Bishop Bismark’s message was more than a sermon—it was a spiritual architecture for living a God-directed life.

With bold clarity, he reminded listeners that favour must lead to design, design must lead to discipline, and discipline must lead to legacy. “At some point,” he said, “your gift will be recognised. Stay on the highway God has placed you on.”
