Bible In One Year-Day 199 (Friday, July 18, 2014)

Commentary: Proverbs16-18. When you put wisdom and asset side by side, it is better to choose wisdom. Again, putting understanding side by side money, choose understanding. This is the message of Proverbs16:16.

Proverbs 16:16 “How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!”

These two things, wisdom and understanding, are the treasures that moth cannot eat. Whoever has them becomes treasure that the rich seeks after. The man with understanding has the key to the treasure of darkness and able to open the secret places.

Isaiah 45:3 “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.”

There is something we ought to know; people’s need is not entertainment or eloquence of speech but life. When they see somebody who gives life, i.e. food for the spirit, they go there. The person that has the life people want is that person who has understanding.

Proverbs 16:22 “Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.”

Wisdom can make a servant to become a master over the children of his master and even share of the inheritance, Prov17:2. A man of understanding avoids strife, he has a calm spirit and his gift brings him before great men.

Proverbs 18:16 “A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.”

Joseph’s gift broke open the prison gate and landed him before Pharaoh. It is wisdom and understanding that can take a man to the seat of destiny fulfillment. On your tongue is life and on the same tongue is death, both are good and profitable to the soul. Understanding the time and season of releasing these powers is known as wisdom.

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Let us seek for the old path where we could find rest. Let us listen to the trumpet’s sound, wherewith we could escape the calamity to come. Our reading for today is Proverbs19-21. Keep the fire burning and alive.

Bible In One Year-Day 198 (Thursday, July 17, 2014)

Commentary: Proverbs13-15. From our reading we could see that the ruin of a lot of people is the mouth. Many lives would have been preserved from danger and fulfill their destinies if not for the diarrhea of the mouth. Parents, or even we, might have described our destinies to the enemy at one time or the other.

Proverbs 13:3 “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.”

There was this unnamed man in 2Samuel1:1-16 whose mouth killed. He did not kill Saul but he claimed to have killed him thinking that would fetch him favor and honor. A lying mouth and untamed tongue are death unto the owner. When you see a wise man, he acts with knowledge unlike the foolish who acts before thinking.

Proverbs 13:16 “Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.”

A rich man with untamed tongue is poor and a powerful man with unbridled tongue is naked. The Bible encourages us that if we do not see the lips of knowledge in somebody, regard such as a fool and you have to do away from such. Those you move with tell more of who you are.

Proverbs 14:7 “Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.”

One of the ways to notice a fool around is that he or she mocks at sin, i.e. he or she does not consider sin as harmful but that it is part of life; unlike the wise that fears and departs from evil.

Proverbs 14:16 “A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.”

Seek wisdom and understanding for there is not any other path to life.

Let us seek for the old path where we could find rest. Let us listen to the trumpet’s sound, wherewith we could escape the calamity to come. Our reading for today is Proverbs16-18. Keep the fire burning and alive.

Proverbs 15:33 “The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.”

Bible In One Year-Day 197 (Wednesday, July 16, 2014)

Commentary: Proverbs10-12. These chapters clearly relay the attributes of the wise and those of the fool. A man is regarded as a fool or the wise only by the fruit of his mouth.

Proverbs 12:18-20 “There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.”

Every verse in these chapters shows the path of life and that of destruction. We are left to make choice. Where we end up after death is a matter of choice. There is no one who reads and commits the words of wisdom in the book of proverbs into his heart ever remain foolish. Mark you, not only reading but committing into your heart to observe and to do.

Isaiah 1:19 “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”

Jesus is our wisdom. When you let His words enter you, you have allowed Him in your heart and if you obey His word with your HEART, you give your life to Him and people see a new life in you and are amazed for the type of wisdom that comes from you. This is because the life you now live is not yours but Christ’s.

John 8:12 “Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

You could have the whole of the Bible in your head but if not committed into your heart, it remains as ordinary stories and carries no fire or power even if you use it to pray; demons are not moved by this. Jesus is the total package of all you could become in life and all that God desires from you.

1 Corinthians 1:30-31 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

Let us seek for the old path where we could find rest. Let us listen to the trumpet’s sound, wherewith we could escape the calamity to come. Our reading for today is Proverbs13-15. Keep the fire burning and alive.

Proverbs 12:4 “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”

Bible In One Year-Day 196 (Tuesday, July 15, 2014)

Commentary: Proverbs7-9. The message here in chapter7 is against the spirit of seduction. Seduction has its hook in the eyes and bait in the mouth. Whoever yields to seduction has gone astray into untimely death.

Proverbs 7:21-23 “With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.”

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines seduction as;

1. to persuade to disobedience or disloyalty
2. to lead astray usually by persuasion or false promises
3. to carry out the physical seduction of : entice to sexual intercourse
4. Attract

All these definitions summarily work on the heart through the eyes and the ears. The seducer takes advantage of the seduced weaknesses or ignorance. If seduction is by attraction, it means the beauty of that thing is talking to you and if you eagerly desire it, then lust is playing a role. If you do not control it, lust and seduction could easily marry; this is not love but evil union;

Proverbs 6:25 “Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.”

If initially, you do not lust after it but you allow yourself to stay around it for some time, you could eventually be seduced. Mostly, because you have been around for sometimes, she tries to work on your heart through fasle kindness by first searching out your greatest need at that time, and then she changes to appear as if it could meet your need. For instance, if a man does not find love at home, if the seducer realizes that with her crafty heart, she would offer the man a kiss when he needs love and by this, the heart of the man is won, Prov7:10-18.

Proverbs 7:21-23 “With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.”

Another form of seduction is to persuade into compromising, i.e. a little bit of truth and little bit of falsehood (trying to be godly through deception). Christians are mostly victims of this type; they always say that they could ask for forgiveness afterwards. Such are lured into disobedience to God’s word.

Hebrews 10:26 “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”

There is no forgiveness of sin for this type of sin, all you need is deliverance. There are some sinful actions that will not be forgiven without deliverance.

There is another type of seduction which is highly demonic, it is called Hypnosis. This involves the use of a demonic power to penetrate and manipulate the heart of the victim. The victim will be falling in love gradually even if the seducer isn’t around because a spirit has been introduced in the soul of the victim. Such will be having dreams of the hypnotizer and conclude that God is revealing true love through dreams; you are under oppression if you find yourself in this situation. Mostly, there is no counsel that could work because the spirit is already introduced in you; you need deliverance from that evil government. The hypnosis could be actuated by mere winking of the eyes, exposing some seductive parts of the body, or just some touches etc. unfortunately, they go for the strong ones, get their weaknesses and act in that direction.

Proverbs 7:25-27 “Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.”

This is the situation of many ministers of God and strong believers who have gone astray. Wisdom requires that we seek for help as soon as we notice this. Joseph almost fell into the seductive approach of Potiphar’s wife but because he knew how to flee, he escaped from her. Otherwise, he would have been forgotten and his precious life destroyed. He knew he could not stand the power of seduction if he stayed a little longer, he then ran off naked. If you allow pride to take over, death is at the door. If a man does not have the wisdom to flee from this problem, he is trading off his own soul. Wisdom is very important in dealing with seduction; YOU NEED IT!

Proverbs 8:34-36 “Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.”

Anything acquired in an improper path has some iota of seduction in it and the end of it may be bitter;

Proverbs 9:17-18 “Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.”

Let us seek for the old path where we could find rest. Let us listen to the trumpet’s sound, wherewith we could escape the calamity to come. Our reading for today is Proverbs10-12. Keep the fire burning and alive.

Bible In One Year-Day 195 (Monday, July 14, 2014)

Commentary: Proverbs4-6. The relationship between God and us is likened to that between a father and the son. This is what chapter 4 emphased. But it made us to understand that a father’s words and instruction must be in the heart, i.e. mixed up with the heart which in essence means the soul.

Proverbs 4:3-4 “For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.”

The problem before now was that people believed that obeying the law was the basis of holiness. They disregarded retaining the word in the heart as the most important; observing and doing the word is what gives life. That was why that ruler in Luke 18:18 called Jesus “good Master” without knowing the meaning of being good. His believe was that since he was carrying out the Ten Commandments, he was good but the love (nature) of God was not in his heart. He lacked understanding. Not until the word of God finds a place in the heart there can’t be understanding.

Psalms 119:130 “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”

Only Jesus could expound the scripture in our hearts;

Luke 24:44-45 “And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,”

The Holy Spirit has been given to us to shed the light of the scriptures in our hearts. Therefore, we need to embrace His works in our lives. This is the only way we could be made holy unto the Lord. If we keep God’s word away from our heart, we are bound to go astray;

Proverbs 5:21-23 “For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.”

Let us seek for the old path where we could find rest. Let us listen to the trumpet’s sound, wherewith we could escape the calamity to come. Our reading for today is Proverbs7-9. Keep the fire burning and alive.
