GOD’S instructions are for a reason! Not to Threaten you!!

I was listening to @jamiegrace’s podcast on proverbs 6, it was pretty good it was based on some instructions that GOD has given us! Simply saying, “it’s not good if you do this or that.”

Most times we like to say if  you commit this sin or that sin you will go to Hell! GOD didn’t just design these instructions for you to avoid hell but for us to live better lives…
for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching.  - Proverbs 4:2

Dear Christian! Turn up!

We all knew what we were getting ourselves into, it was the final race, and the big question was what were we going to do with our lives?!


The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools. Proverbs 3:35

We looked at the economy we found ourselves in and knew if you don’t become an entrepreneur, you might be looking for a good job for the rest of your life! There were people hiring agriculturists, but how many of them are hiring at a good rate, and it was super competitive to land a good job, so everybody started their side business or found a way to not be unemployed, as the day of graduation 🎓 drew close!

Get to the intellectual side of GOD!

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things. Proverbs 28:5

I have never played Broomball before, but look at me now with my team in Semifinals!!!
..

.
The first time  I played Broomball I slammed my heard in the ice twice! I happened to be leading the middle schoolers in my church last winter, coaching them from the sidelines, and we won first two games and lost to a shoot out on the third game…. This winter we made it to the Semifinals, just one game to the finals and we lost by a point! ***For people doing the math you’re like “The Finals Next Winter ❄️” Same here 😉 I pray it happens*****
.
.
I have  never coached a team before! I don’t even watch a lot of sports or play games to be able to be fluent in it…. But when the coaching hat was given to me, all of sudden I knew what to do… I had to put my best players to strike, tell the girls to be the one passing the ball in for the guys, told my key strikers to never come back for defense, told my defenders never to help with offense, and I just had another set of guys moving back and forth and when they got carried away with the plan I was shouting from the sidelines…..

JESUS provides one with the ability to have a full grip on life…

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

Proverbs 28:2 King James Version (KJV)

A leader must have understanding (HOLY SPIRIT) and Knowledge (GOD) to rule a place to prosperity! Proverbs 28:2

True insight is provided by GOD, to get a hold of life comes by you taking time out to spend time with the one who made life… It may not seem like the right thing to always spend time with GOD, it may seem reasonable to go ahead and seek more knowledge and skill, to be able to move forward in life.

Love your soul? Get JESUS

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. Proverbs 19:8

You love your own soul when you have JESUS (WISDOM). Proverbs 19:8

The things you love  determines if you love your soul.... Your soul is what keeps your life going.... Life maybe horrible, but if your soul is in check with CHRIST, you will be fine... True peace comes when there is joy, in the presence of a storm, and only JESUS can provide that..... It is possible to feed your soul and nourish your #Spirit....


“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22

 What you have fed your soul will tell in the long run... The side you have chosen to stand for will tell at the end, you get the #SPIRIT OF GOD, when you determine to live for HIM, you therefore nurture your soul when you spend time with GOD.... You earn the spirit of the devil, when you decide to neglect GOD, you kill your soul daily when you are without JESUS....

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

¹¹ The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹² And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

¹³ And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Genesis 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV)

You cannot get access to life and all it has to offer, if you cannot afford to fear the one who knows everything, “GOD”.

¹¹ And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

2 Chronicles 1:11 King James Version (KJV)

GOD is Knowledge

⁴ And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Proverbs 24:4 King James Version (KJV)

Knowledge is power everyone knows that, for with it you can do a lot of things, stand above do great things….

What stands one out in the midst of all is what you know, and where you get what you know from....

³ Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

1 Samuel 2:3 King James Version (KJV)

Everything that you know is not of value compared to what you know of GOD…. GOD knows all things, why is it that you can’t start with that?

⁹ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

⁵ A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Your faith is increased and you can be able to move mountains, as your relationship with HIM is improved by Bible study, prayer and praise to HIM.

Romans 8:37 King James Version (KJV)

Life is a battle field….. AND…. Counsel is of the LORD

⁶ For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Proverbs 24:6 King James Version (KJV)

David was called up to be a musician to King Saul, and his resume was of one that was able to war, his job was just to play music to the King to help him drive away an evil spirit (1 Samuel 16:14), you probably would think, that you do not need someone who can go to war to be able to make music….

¹⁷ And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. ¹⁸ Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.

1 Samuel 16:18 King James Version (KJV)

In a the wilderness of training, David sent out to take care for sheep of the family, while others were at home, GOD made a man out of HIM….

¹⁴ But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.

1 Samuel 13:14 King James Version (KJV)

Everything about you can't be understood by you...

Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way? Proverbs 20:24

There are times you don't know why you just do some things, or why your heart ponders on different things....

You find out that you sometimes… You long for friendship, you want to be happy, you want to be loved, you want to be #Great.... At the end of the day you just to be what GOD wants you to be!!

The bad thing that happens is so many people fill up their longings with music, love from man sex, drugs, and many more instead with JESUS...
