TEXT: Proverbs14:15.

An unthinking person believes everything,   but the prudent one thinks before acting.

*Outward actions can sometimes hide ulterior motives. You can't afford to take things merely on the face value.*

The simple or unthinking person accepts everything at face value, they do not question, or examine the situation. As a result, they are easily misled, deceived, and influenced by outward appearances or externalities.

But the prudent person is different. They take time to pause, reflect, and weigh what they see and hear. They understand that not everything presented is genuine.

They test motives, observe patterns, and seek wisdom before making decisions or forming conclusions.

1 John 4:1 says, *Dear friends, stop believing every spirit. Instead, test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.* 

When you have formed the habit of testing all spirits, it will cut across board, you will know how to discern even in the market space.

Outward actions can sometimes conceal deeper intentions. A smile may hide envy, kindness may be driven by selfish gain, and words may be crafted to impress rather than to express truth. 

This is why we must not be quick to judge based on only what is visible.
True character is not revealed merely by what people say, but by what resides in the hearts. 

In 1 Samuel 16:7,  The LORD told Samuel, *“Don’t look at his appearance or his height, for I’ve rejected him. Truly, God does not see what man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”* 

Over time, the consistency of one's actions, not just their words, will expose who they truly are.
Therefore, guard your heart and sharpen your discernment. *Ask God for wisdom to see beyond appearances and to hear beyond utterances.* 

 *Be quick to hear, slow to respond , and slow to make commitments. Inquire every matter from the Lord. Learn to say, " I'll get back to you on this matter"* or " give me time to ruminate on this issue". 

Beware of hypocrites. Be careful in your judgments.
Wisdom calls for depth, patience, and spiritual sensitivity. When you learn to look beyond the surface, you protect yourself from deception and position yourself to walk in truth.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

Proverbs 23:6-8.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father God, please bless me with the gift of discernment that I may know how to deal in every matter in Jesus name.

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
