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 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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
