STRANGE WOMAN


 Text : Proverbs 2:16 KJV


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


If King Solomon gave any advice about woman,  you will do well to listen. He's the only man known in history who had handled 1000 women. He's giving counsel probably from his failures and regrets.


Literally, a strange woman is any woman capable of luring you away from the agenda of God for your life. 


 *By reason of a strange woman, Samson the great had his two eyes gouged out and his destiny cut short. Beware of strange woman.* 


Jezebel was another example of strange woman who was instrumental to the fall of king Ahab"s dynasty .1 Kings 19-21.


And it was recorded concerning king Solomon that, despite his great wisdom and affluence,  strange women had negative influence on him.


For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 1 Kings  11:4.


However,  strange woman is not just about female gender, it's only a representation of anything or anyone that has the capacity to lure you away from your God-ordained destiny. 


There's only one way to be delivered from the trap of the 'strange woman'. On more than three occasions,  Solomon gave counsels on how to be delivered from the web of a strange woman.   Each time he gave this counsel,  it boils down to keeping instructions. Today,  the same instructions are calling out to you.


 *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. Proverbs 7:1-5.


 *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.

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...
