INSTRUCTION

Text : Pro 4:13.

 *Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.* 

 *There are duties that are basically your call, no matter how long you pray, God will not do for you what He has instructed you to do.* 

Our text says, :

1. *Take fast hold of instruction* : It's clear that the onus is on you to 'take'. To take is to get something into one's hands, or take possession or control of something. Now, the 'something' here is INSTRUCTION. There are some instructions that has been issued expressly to you by God, how well are you holding to them? TAKE FAST HOLD OF INSTRUCTION. 

2. *LET HER NOT GO :* There's a tendency for her to go. There's a tendency for you to forget the lessons you once cherished. *Don't ever disdain the principles you once held valuable simply because you've gained some level of comfort.* 

3. *KEEP HER :* David said 'Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.' Psa 119:11. *If God's words are not kept conscientiously in your heart, sinning against Him will be inevitable.* 

4. *She is your life :* If only you knew that following instruction is a matter of life and death, then you wouldn't toy with any of His instructions. 

The fall of man came about because the first man failed to follow instruction. Note that instructions are given on a daily basis and must be followed on a daily basis too. 

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and *take up his cross daily,* and follow me.Luke 9:23.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I receive the Grace to keep your word in my heart and to follow it daily. 

Bible Reading : Proverbs 4:1-27.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
