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...

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...
