The Sayings Of The Wise [S.30]


Proverbs 24 : 21 - 22

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 30

21 Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?

Sometime in our life everything will depend on the strength of our hope. What must one do to strengthen hope? Believe in our Heavenly Father who created us and for Christ who is the path to our Father. Dare to blossom in darkness. Know that His light will shine in the darkened abyss of life. Light trumps darkness. He secretly feeds his children to strengthen them during times of weakness. Keep your eyes on His light! Jesus Christ; the way, the truth and the Life[Light!].

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.29]


Proverbs 24 : 19 - 20

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 29

19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

God answers to the mess of our life with one word Grace, the scripture says " but where sin increased, grace increased the more. "
It's not that the world is bad, it's just that sometimes along the way we feel like we were not made for this world. The world has it's delightful moments but it's still what it is. A dark place filled with anger, corruption, betrayal and death. The question most of us ask is, " how do we get out of it? " and the answer to this question is one simple word GRACE.

Grace has more elegance than we would know and God knows the mess of our life and answers it with grace upon grace. I urge you to show grace and make this world a better place. When we show grace, we are showing love.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.28]


Proverbs 24 : 17 - 18
 
Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 28

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
18 or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath.away from them.

Kindness can transform someone's dark moment into a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today. I will urge you to sow this seed of kindness in the life of others and these seed will  begin to grow and manifest into the human race.

James A. Garfield once said, " there are men and women who make the world a better place just by being the kind of people they are. They have the gift of kindness or courage or loyalty or integrity. "
As you go through your daily life activity, notice the type of gift you exhibit and use it to bring smiles on the faces of those you come in contact with and they might show such gift to others and will enable peace to reign.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.27]


Proverbs 24 : 15 - 16
Thirty Sayings of the Wise!
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

In early times, the oil lamp was vital to the farmer or village dweller, and thus the lamp had to be kept in good working order filled with oil, a good tapered wick and readily available. Our body, mind and spirit are no different. Resting one day a week, feeding our spirit with God's oil-based ointment (God's Word) and allowing our mind and bodies to renew through rest, quiet contemplation will allow us to be wholly present and available to ourselves and others. Seek to renew yourself, rest and be fed wholesome Godly direction. Like a lamp you can help light an eternal path for others in need.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.26]


Proverbs 24 : 13 - 14

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

My family name has created some awkward moments. A girlfriend of mine recently said, “ Nicholas ESH-un!, I really miss you.” I just smile and let it go thinking that was the end of it but then a my teacher also asked me, “ I’ve been trying to figure out how you pronounce your surname. Is it ESH-un OR ASH-un! I felt trapped as I looked at my teacher who had been mispronouncing my surname.
On an infinitely grander scale, God faces with humankind a similar issue I faced in this situation. How can He be both Just and Kind? In other words how can he serve justice yet be kind. How can He redeem the sinner without endorsing the sin?

From our perspective there are only two equally unappealing solutions. From God’s perspective, however, there is a third. It’s called the Cross of Christ! which is our source of Salvation and that’s one phrase you want to say correctly!
If you want total salvation then go to the of Christ Jesus and confess you sins to Him and open up your heart to Him by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.25]


Proverbs 24 : 10 - 12

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 25

10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

In order to be able to live in a manner as shared above one cannot be hampered by worries, fears, intrepidation, or low self esteem. Instead a person must be totally comfortable with the person God intended them to be. Be free to dance like Biblical David did by turning grief inside out and into joy, Sing without restraint for your Heavenly Father. Eliminate the sting of rejection and love others wholeheartedly. Allow yourself the freedom to experience worshiping God through genuine singing, loving, and dancing on Earth as is done in Heaven. Life only gets better when you live to fulfill your destiny on earth.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.24]

Proverbs 24 : 8 - 9

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 24

8 Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.


Nothing truly happens without first having a thought to take root. Do you dream to ... travel, get married, build a career, learn to cook, take dance lessons, have a baby, learn a new language or plant a garden?
Chances are no steps will be taken until the thought arises and a desire emerges strong enough to act upon that thought. Many of us wander through life with little notice about fulfilling our heart's desire. It may be time to search for that spark of enthusiasm that lights up our heart and opens the door to new adventure. Could it be time for your dream to unfold? Dare to dream again and get ready for a life of adventure! Your Dream starts with a Step Of Faith.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.23]

Proverbs 24 : 7

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 23

7 Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.

As believers, if we are going to go to the next level of our Life we have to SAY SO! In the book of Genesis 1:3 God spoke those imaginations in HIS heart and they became a reality. This same theory applies in the life of believers. Nothing happens in our life unless we SAY SO! Instead of believing for change to happen you have to SAY SO for change to occur. Those words we speak in our future brings a new level of life on us.

As you begin your day this morning, I urge you to make these victorious declarations on your life as you begin your day " I am the child of the most high God who have been programmed for victory, to overcome every obstacle that comes my way and I can confidently SAY SO! that I am a confident person wearing a crown of favor which will propel me to make those dreams become a reality as I wear this robe of righteousness. I have been well equipped to come-out victorious as I am blessed, well talented enough with the right discipline, knowledge, wisdom and focus I need and have the right personality and connected to the right people in life who will lift and entrust me to accomplish those dreams God has placed in my my heart and I SAY SO! in the name of Christ Jesus, AMEN.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.22]



Proverbs 24 : 5-6

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 22

5 The wise prevail through great power, and those who have
knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers.

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, “Come to Me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Accept my teachings and learn from Me,because I am gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your lives. . .”
I can see you shaking your head. I’ve tried that. I’ve read the Bible. I’ve sat on the pew but I’ve never received relief. Could it be you went to religion and you didn’t go to God? Could it be you went to a church, but never saw Christ? “Come to Me” the verse reads. Jesus is the solution for weariness of the soul. Go to Him. Admit you have soul secrets you’ve never dealt with. HE already knows what they are. Go to Him! He’s just waiting for you to ask Him to help!

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.21]



Proverbs 24 : 3 - 4

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 21

3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Wow, the power of one or two words spoken in one second with sheer gratitude has the capacity to provide hope and change life's dramatically. We never know how a heart felt word or two can plant the seed of gratefulness in those around us. By pairing those words with a smile much sunshine and a sense of worth can shine into the lives of those experiencing a struggle of darkness or an emptiness of spirit. God supplies much to all if we are willing to share His gifts with others. The Bible says in the book of Proverbs that " when you refresh others, God will refresh you." God must have invented multiplication and he counts on us to distribute His gifts.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.20]



Proverbs 24 :1 - 2

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 20

24 Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.

There is no dysfunction, injustice or disappointment that can keep you from your destiny! Many people today go around with a “damaged goods” label, feeling guilty and condemned by what they’ve been through. But the truth is, we’ve all had difficulties. You can’t live very long without making a mistake, being hurt by someone, going through a breakup, being broken by divorce, an unhealthy childhood or an addiction. The key is to move forward and let it go.

 Life will sometimes shows us how to do just that and get out of the “damaged goods” section. Find out how to make the most of your life, regardless of how you were raised, how many bad breaks you’ve had, or how insignificant you may feel. It’s time to move forward, let it go and walk in greatness once again!

Today is a New Day! Don't let your History interfere with your Destiny. It doesn't matter what you did or where you were… it matters where you are and what you're doing. Get out there and Explore! Sing the song in your Heart and never let anyone shut you up! You are not what people say you are but what God say's you are.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.19]



Proverbs 23: 29 - 35

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 19

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?. Who has strife? Who has complaints?. Who has needless bruises?. Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

"Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you'll find is that you can overcome anything. Overcoming exhilarates an individual. What is something that you tell yourself you cannot do . . .run a mile, lose weight, draw or paint, dance gracefully, or speak to an audience? Stretch yourself by trying something new that is outside your comfort zone. New interests can be sparked, interesting acquaintances can be made, unique sites visited. Or who knows what discovery awaits you around the corner! The embracing of a new, yet worthy experience may trigger a desire to explore. Be fascinated with life; grow in strength of character and enjoy the newness of life everyday. New Challenges creates new and limitless opportunities.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.18]

Proverbs 23: 26-28

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 18

26 My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways,
27 for an adulterous woman is a deep pit, and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Like a bandit she lies in wait and multiplies the unfaithful among men.

"Winners lose much more often than losers. So if you keep losing but you're still trying, keep it up! You're right on track." -Matthew Keith 

Individuals who frequently fail at doing something have much in common with winners. As a matter of fact, they have more in common with winners than with losers.
Losers are people that simply refuse to try or give up easily or too soon. Winners have unique tendencies.

They have a tenacious spirit of never giving up and are driven to learn from their mistakes.Winners frequently experience defeat. Yet they get up, dust themselves off and begin to tackle the problem with a different method. Seeing failure as a catalyst to success keeps the momentum going to stay on the keep trying path. Stay on track; be a winner and don't lose hope.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.17]


Proverbs 23: 22 - 25

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 17

22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth and do not sell it— wisdom, instruction and insight as well.
24 The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
25 May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful!

Do you know your heart's desire? What lights up your life? What excites you or used to.excite or light up your life? ? If not, it may be time to reflect on your youth because that's where the seeds of your personal interests and passions began to sprout but.may have become stagnant. Take time to explore, nurture and follow your heart's passions because there lies the steam-filled vehicle carrying your life's energy... called Passion!

Once you are driven by Passion about what excites you the most and brings-out the best in you in a positive manner, who knows you might be on your way to bring your divine given talents to revolutionize the world positively and make an Impact.
Today, I urge you to reflect on your life and realize those God given talents and this will enable the best life you were always craving for. Once you take that step of faith into fulfilling those talents, know that God Our Heavenly Father will bring all the connections you need to succeeded once you ask Him. Without Passion, Life is nothing.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.16]

Proverbs 23: 19 - 21

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 16

19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.
We are all born with shortcomings. Then, of course we accumulate additional shortcomings through our environment and our reactions to our environment. So flawed as we are . . . just know that there is hope for each person who seeks to accept the flaws.
Blaming our parents, our teacher, our boss, our friend or spouse fails to move us forward. Blaming others never allows for self acceptance. Take your eyes off the blame game. The key is to accept your flaws, grow in compassion for others and look toward your creator for guidance. Create a compassion for others and allow the gentle part of who you are begin to emerge.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.15]



Proverbs 23: 17 - 18

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 15

17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.
18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

"Our dreams are like a puppy's paws - they start out big so they can support as we grow." - Dixie Gillespie - Author
Got big dreams? No worries! Big dreams would be the glue that keeps us together when rough reality crops up. Along comes the naysayers, obstacles, barriers, financial hurdles, or physical limitations. Keeping those dreams alive depends on the passion and power of the grip of those dreams in the dreamer. Dreams are worth dreaming. They enliven and spark the soul of our being. Dare to allow yourself to live out your dreams.

In 1 Kings 3:5-15 Wise King Solomon in his dream was for Almighty God to give him a discerning heart to govern his people, notice King Solomon did not ask for riches and honor but rather God gave it freely to him, dare to ask God for wisdom and all other things will be added Unto you, and with his Grace by your side, you will.surely succeed in Christ Jesus name AMEN!

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.14]

Proverbs 23: 15 - 16

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 14

15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed;
16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.

Keeping our attitude and ego in check can be a constant battle for some individuals. For others it may be a lack of confidence that must be battled. When possible, cling to humbleness. Humility is an asset because it allows for an open mind and, open heart. But most of all it allows for a confident attitude that seeks to understand that which we're meant to understand in life.

So when faced with challenges, program your mind to adjust to new situations and seek to understand and be willing to learn something new. You may find a whole new level of understanding that prior was not available in your thinking.
I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. ~ Abraham Lincoln.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.13]


Proverbs 23: 13-14

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 13

13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
14 Punish them with the rod and save them from death.

" Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today." - Amy Leigh Mercier

As you go about your business running errands today and having an encounter with others, consider asking yourself a few questions of significance. What kind of a kindness ambassador am I? As a friend, parent or teacher, do I look beyond the behavior of a child and ask, "What kindness can I give that speaks to this child... You matter! "

Do I spread seeds of kindness that may sprout seeds of love and light into God's Kingdom? Or are the judgmental looks and sharp words discounting the child's worth and ultimately dimming the heart's light? Do I look at the check-out clerk at the grocery store and wonder what struggles she may be facing, what are the mountains in her past, what challenges await her at home? What kind of hope may she need for today?

What if the only kindness for her day was what kindness I had to offer? What would that look like?
Perhaps you are the one in need of being lifted up with the blazing light of kindness. Being that light for another miraculously creates beams of kindness for all.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.12]


Proverbs 23: 12

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 12

12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.

Life is amazing and absolutely worth the investment of your time and trouble, so make that investment. Life is a grand adventure, so live life in an adventurous manner. Let go of the worn-out excuses and let in some real, rich, fulfilling life. Actually do what you’ll someday wish you would have done, and create a life with no regrets. Move out of your comfort zone and step into your faith zone today as you begin your day and take time to learn and invest in others. Albert Einstein once said " Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. " Take time to invest in others and yourself and you would enjoy life to the brim.

The Sayings Of The Wise [S.11]


Proverbs 23: 10 - 11

Thirty Sayings of the Wise!

Saying 11

10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11 for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.

Even if you don’t know how to take the first step, assume that there’s a way. Assume you can do it, and you’ll find that way. The Holy Bible says God is move by our faith and if we dare to believe In HIM and take that step of faith towards fulfilling our God destined dreams, our Heavenly Father will come in and equip us with the strength and spirit of discernment we need to make our dreams come through.

You are extremely good at solving difficult problems because you’ve done it all in your life. You are very good at making things happen when you have a good enough reason to do so. So make sure your objective is what you really, truly desire, and make the assumption that you can indeed reach it. With a meaningful purpose and a positive perspective, you’re already well on your way to achieve great success.

You don't need a perfect education to become a successful entrepreneur, all you need is to find inspiration, believe in your abilities and make use of the opportunities that Life has to offer. - nEshunGh.
