WORD OF WISDOM

-

Text : Pro 7:1&2

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

If there was a man every young fellow needs to listen to in order to glean wisdom for successful living, is  King Solomon. 

Solomon was a one time king of Israel. It was recorded concerning him that he was the wisest and richest man who ever lived apart from Jesus Christ (and those who are in Christ). 1 Kings 3:12-13. 1 Corinthian 1:24,30.

Having lived to enjoy everything his heart ever desired, Eccl. 2:10, Solomon decided to instruct the younger generation. These instructions came from his wealth of experience which emanated majorly from his own errors and mistakes. 

So, wisdom demands that you learn from the mistakes of others in order for you not to fall into the same ditch. Hence,  we shall be looking at this word of wisdom for some days now. 

The first instruction issued out here from our text is for sons,  those who have received Christ has the Lord of their lives. 

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:John 1:12. So if you are yet to become a son,  don't delay any further.  ACT NOW, AND SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO JESUS. 

** *Keep his word:* The very first instruction is to keep His words. If you have been asking how not to keep sinning against God.  Well,  here is the answer,  Keep His words.  "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee".Psa 119:11. Keep His words and He will keep you from sin. 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.Col 3:16.

To keep His words,  watch out for any instructions from the Bible and commit your heart to carrying them out. 

This is the only way to life. No other way. 

 *If you obey my rules, you will live. Keep my words as you keep your eyes safe.* Pro 7:2 EasyEnglish 

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
