WORD OF WISDOM 3

-

Text :  Proverbs 7:4-5.

Say to wisdom, “You’re my sister!” and call understanding your close relative,

So they can keep you from an adulterous woman, from the immoral woman with her seductive words. 

Very explicitly, the two things that can keep you from the adulterous  and immoral woman are *wisdom* and *understanding* This adulterous woman is more of a system than a gender. That is,  anyone or anything that follows the same system or pattern of this adulterous woman is tending towards the same destination. 

Below are some salient truths about this adulterous woman. 

1. *She has territory* Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

Pro 7:8. Immorality has her corner,  it has a way(pattern) and it has a house. The moment you cross your limit to her boundary, you are heading towards destruction. 

However, it is clear that only people without understanding can engage in such deadly adventure, Proverbs 7:6-7. Stay off her track and you will be safe. 

2. *She operates in darkness* In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:Proverbs 7:9. Darkness is not just night times, but whatever you do,  whether in broad daylight or obscure darkness that you wouldn't want people to know, is works of darkness. What ever you do that you will be ashamed to tell in the open is darkness. 

3. *She is full of subtility* Pro 7:10 KJV And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and *subtil of heart*.

 Sin is always subtle. Don't be enticed by it. Run for your dear life. Proverbs 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:22.

 *But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.1Tim 6:11.* 

 *Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart* 2Tim 2:22 


Bible reading: Proverbs 7:1-27.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
