STRANGE WOMAN 2


 Text : Proverbs 2:16 KJV 


 *To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;* 


Today, we shall be looking at some of the operations of the strange woman and how to wriggle out of it.


Remember that essentially, the strange woman is actually a representation of anything or anyone that is capable of luring you away from your God-given destiny. The characteristics of the strange woman include:


1.) *Flattery:* One thing that is closely associated with the strange woman's operation is Flattery. Prov. 2:16, 7:5  6:24


Flattery is excessive praise or approval, which is often insincere and sometimes contrived to win favour. 


A child of God should not give flattery and it is wisdom to know when you are being flattered.


 *Don't have an exaggerated or inflated worth of yourself.* 


2.) *She's everywhere* : Now she is in the street, now in the plazas, she lurks near every corner.Pro 7:12 ISV. 


When Jesus resisted the devil's temptation the first time, the devil didn't give up, he tempted Him two more times.


That you were able to resist the strange woman's ploy once doesn't mean she won't try again. You must keep resisting.


Note that the devil has stationed different distractions at every juncture of your life. Jesus overcame through the word, you will overcome through the word too.

So, it's a question of how much of His words you have kept in your heart.


Psalms 119:11 says *Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.* 


Proverbs 7:1-5 say *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.

Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.


It's not so much about the amount of the words you know, it's how much of what you know and kept.


 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 

Revelation  1:3.



 *BIBLE READING* :


Proverbs 7:4-27.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father,  give me wisdom and grace to run from strange women and whatever she stands for.


2.) Lord, give me the grace to keep your words in my heart so I may not sin against you.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
