Proverbs 25: 4

“Silver must be purified before it can be used to make something of value”.(CEVUS06).

Just like silver has to be purified before it can be used, so we also have to be purified by God so we can be useful vessels in His hands.

2 Tim 2:20-21 says: “In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work” (NLT).

Proverbs 25:9 -10

“When you and someone else can’t get along, don’t gossip about it.  Others will find out, and your reputation will then be ruined” (CEVUS06).

Ok, I’m double covering my eyes. This is deeeeeeep. So guilty of this offense. If someone hurts me, I’m gonna tell as many people about it as i can. I’ve never really thought about it as gossip but reading this verse has got me rethinking…this might actually be gossip! what’s the motive behind going round telling everyone about it?

Proverbs 25:28

“Losing self-control leaves you as helpless as a city without a wall” (CEVUS06).

Self control is very key. That’s why it’s one of the fruit of the spirit. If we don’t have self control, we are exposed. Anything is allowed to come in and go as they like.

May we all be vessels unto honour in the hands of God. With His help, may we learn to use our mouth wisely to spread the gospel and not gossip; and to exercise self control.

Thanks for joining today. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the chapter.

Have a blessed evening 🙂

Proverbs 24 – Wise foundation

Jul16

Good evening y’all. Today we are studying Proverbs 24

Be blessed 🙂

“3 Through wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety”. (NKJV)

We need wisdom in order to succeed at anything we do. It’s not just any wisdom but godly wisdom. In every aspect of our lives we need goodly wisdom and understanding and knowledge to be able to make those aspects work together. We need to keep learning. Let God’s word be the standard we use and the foundation on which we build on.

Matthew 7 tells us he who builds his house on the foundation which is the rock is wise, even when storms come, it will stand.

“24 All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock”. (Matthew 7: 24 TLB)

The more of God’s word we have in us, the more our faith is strong and strengthened and we can handle whatever challenge comes our way. When we are weak, God is strong for us. 

Good and godly counsel is also needed as we go through our journey in life. It is important that we surround ourselves with people who can give good advice and keep us in check. Latter part of verse 6 says: “in a multitude of counsellors there is safety”

I pray we learn to make God’s word the foundation we build every area of our lives on.
