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 portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
