<< Back Page Proverbs 8:35-36
"35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD. 36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”
Wisdom is powerful and priceless; embrace it, and you’ll obtain favor. Reject it, and you’re courting with death. Psalm 119:11
"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Store up the Word of God in your heart by constantly meditating on the Scriptures. The Word in your heart will strengthen you in times of temptation. Isaiah 58:8
"Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness [a] will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard."
God promises restoration to us. Our relationship with the Lord will uphold us and enable us to overcome all obstacles. Mark 4:20
"Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
The soil of our hearts is what provides an environment that is conducive to God’s Word producing results in our lives. The condition of our hearts determines our harvest. Romans 8:28
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose."
As Christians we have the anointing that makes all things work for our good that means you can never be corned or disadvantaged in life; but one must be conscious of this reality.
Phillipians 3:8
"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ."
Christ Jesus our lord is above all things. He should be number one in life of every Christians. The more you value and give Him His place in you, the more He reveals Himself to you. Colossians 3:13
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Forgiveness is a character of God. As his offspring, we have no choice but to forgive those who wrong us. Don't wait until they ask for forgiveness so that you can forgive. 1 Thessalonians 5:19
"Do not quench the Spirit. "
The spirit of God is God. When you receive Him He comes to live in your body to carry His ministry through you and help you to live a Christians life. 1 Timothy 6:7
"For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. "
It is shame on on how many people have made things, money and riches their god. But this should not be so to the ones in Christ. God is not against money and riches; but He is against the idea of idolizing what He has freely given us for our enjoyment. Hebrews 7:19
"(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. "
Our perfection is not by the law but faith in Jesus. The perfecter of mankind. Don't try to live by the law but live by the gospel of who perfected you in Himself. "Because the Lord will keep you safe. He will keep you from being trapped."
When you trust in God, He will keep you from stumbling. Proverbs 11:24
Give And IT Shall Be Given
"One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty."
Giving is God's way of promoting His people. As you give and meet other people needs He increases your resources so that you be a successful to many need. Wolves in Sheep Skin
Matthew 7:15
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."
Be a discerner; be wise, weigh every word you hear and find out if it is consistent with the word of God. By doing so you will have kept yourself from the way of the false prophets. True Hope
Romans 10:11
As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
What a joy, people of mind to know for sure that in whatever happens in our lives, our hope and expectation shall be cut short. A saint you are
2 Corinthians 13:13
"All the Saints salute you"
If you are in Christ, you are a saint. Sainthood is not after death thing neither does death making anybody a saint as many believe. True sainthood is the righteousness of God in you. You are a saint now if you are born-again. Peace of God
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Peace is from within oozing from our spirit. It is not depended on things that go on around us. The peace of God keeps us stable and confidant in stormy and trials.
Serve God
Ephesians 6:7
"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people."
Serve the Lord with all your heart, soul and body. Do not let anything or anybody distract you from it. Remember in heaven you will be rewarded according to your works.
The Love of God
1 John 3:13
"Marvel not, my brethren if the world hate you."
Just the way the world hated Jesus, it will hate you too (the world means the ungodly people). But don’t let this discourage you. Show them the love of God that God extend to them through Jesus Christ by not counting their sins against them. Mark 11:23
“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them".
Faith can move mountains. All you must do is believe.
Ephesians 4:32
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
Kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness are the distinguishing marks of the Christian life.
John 16:13
"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."
The Holy Spirit’s job is to guide you into the truth of God’s Word in your daily life. When He speaks to you, listen and obey. James 4:3
"Sometimes our prayers are not answered because our motives are wrong. When we pray with selfish motives, our prayers don’t produce results."
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. Hebrews 3:7-8
"So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness."
When God speaks, don’t ignore His voice. Hardening your heart to Him will only result in a negative outcome. Deuteronomy 8:18
"But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today."
We must never forget that it is God who empowers us to obtain wealth so we can be a blessing to others. Joshua 1:8
"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
Continuously meditating on God’s Word is the pathway to lasting prosperity. 1 Timothy 6:17
"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment."
It is easy for people to trust in their money when they have a lot of it. However, we must only trust in God as our source of supply. Proverbs 19:17
"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done."
Giving to the poor positions the giver for increase in the kingdom of God. It is the duty of every Believer. Matthew 6:19-20
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Focus on storing up eternal treasures instead of gathering things up for yourself on earth. Heaven’s rewards last forever. John 8:7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
Condemning others for their sins is not God’s character. Instead we should love people the way Jesus does. Proverbs 8:35-36
"35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD. 36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”
Wisdom is powerful and priceless; embrace it, and you’ll obtain favor. Reject it, and you’re courting with death. Psalm 119:11

"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?"
The grace of God is not a license to sin. As Christians, we are dead to sin, meaning that it no longer has any power over us. Our job is to crucify the desires of our flesh every day.
