January 15 Proverbs 15:8
8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. KJV

The Word of God refers to the sinner as the wicked.You don't necessarily have to be Pharaoh or Hitler to be considered wicked. The wicked will be turned to hell.The wicked are also referred to as the foolish.Anybody who is not born of God (born again),anyone who does not have a pure heart and 'enough oil' is the wicked. And our Today's passage says that 'the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord'. Imagine that. Almost everybody knows that the sins of the wicked are abominable to God.But his/her sacrifice?! Some people are not born again/have not accepted Jesus as Saviour/are still sinners/have not given their lives to God and they are making sacrifice.
They're sowing their salary to the work of God,they're giving their life's savings to the cause of the gospel. They're spending sleepless nights at the choir practice,they're giving a lot to the poor and needy. A lot of sacrifice,and wonder of wonders,it is abomination to the Lord. Detestable.The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to God.Unreasonable service. Well,repent if needs be so that your sacrifice will become a labour of love. The prayer of the upright is God's delight.Are you upright? Are you praying? Are you delighting God? Are you bringing joy to heaven? Do you really pray? The upright prayer.The upright's prayer. Let's take joy to heaven today with our prayer.

January 16 Revelation 16v15
15. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
I like Apostle Peter,he made us aware that the devil is walking about.He is around.He is the thief that comes to steal to kill and to destroy. He wants to steal the garments of the righteous.He wants to steal your garment of righteousness.BEWARE.If you hang it outside to dry,he may steal it.Even if you put it in your wardrobe,he may steal it. Wear it.Put it on always.That way,it becomes more difficult for the devil to steal it.Keep your garments,so that you do not walk naked. And He says watch.Blessed is he that watcheth.You need to be sober to watch.You can't watch effectively if you're drunk. You can't watch well if you're frivolous.
Even when you're wearing your garments,the devil wants to stain you.He wants to destroy the garment.He wants to tear it.You need to watch.Christian,resist the devil and he will FLEE from you.Don't give him space.Don't give him chance. Watch and keep.Watch and pray. Don't just say I'm saved and forever saved.Keep yourself in the love of God. Even when others(the church,the brethren,your pastor/leader) fail to watch over you,KEEP YOUR GARMENTS.

January 18 John 18:28
28. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgement: and it was early, and they themselves went not into the judgement hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
Look at this people,scribes and pharisees.hypocrites. These Jews led Jesus Christ to the hall of judgement. But they themselves would not enter the hall of judgement so that they wouldn't be defiled.THEY WANTED TO EAT PASSOVER.They were going to crucify the Lord of glory,for no just reason and yet,they didn't want to be defiled by entering the hall of judgement! Imagine. They had blasphemed and mocked Christ. They had smitten Jesus with the palm of the hand and they didn't want to be defiled by entering the judgement hall. What sort of thing is this? They'll rather move the people to cry out 'Crucify Him,Away with Him,His blood be on us and on our children', so that they can eat the passover. They'll be pleased to cut off the head of the person who has a speck in his eye,than make effort to see or remove the log of wood protruding out of their own eye. This is hypocrisy. Do not be a hypocrite.From today,take more time to examine your own self and your own spirituality instead of spending time and venom criticising others.Critics are usually blind to their own faults. Don't be a hypocrite.

January 19 Luke 19v31
31. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Real givers are rare today. Its hard to find people who give freely.Of course,there are some faithful and cheerful givers,but they're not many. As believers,we need to learn to give without resentment.Give all.Give even without hope of reward. Some people can never give their money if there's no hope of profit,some people will never give their talent if there will be no monetary gain. Many will not give their time if there'll be no favour.Many will not give their hearts if there's no promise of an 'edge'.Some people will not give their colt just because the Lord has need of him.They need/must have a bigger reason.A more palatable and 'profitable' excuse.All the scripture passages need to be available to back it up.Today,we need the heart of disciples.Hearts of true obedience.Made in Heaven.The grace to just obey.Simple obedience.Because the Lord hath need of him.That is the kind of obedience that brings down the commandment of blessing.It is the obedience that fulfils the will and the word of God. May God give us such obedience.

January 20 Proverbs 20:13
13. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
The Word of God is truth.It is complete.If we would read it and obey it,we'll be fulfilled both now and in eternity.God doesn't encourage laziness.He wants us to be active,He wants us to study.He has given us the brains.Researchers say even professors do not use up to 50% of their 'brainpower'.There's so much untapped. God is great.He says love not sleep,lest thou come to poverty.You can't afford to be dull.You need to work.Faith without work is dead.Many people have turned their faith into laziness.There's so much potential but too much sleep,procrastination,inactivity. They expect God to do everything for them.They mistake fluke for favour,but you know what God wants for you?good success,defined and consistent success.Open your eyes and you will be satisfied.Many spend the greater time percentage of their prayers on mundane things.Looking at Christ's model prayer(Our Father),this ought not to be so.Pray more spiritually,then open your eyes and you'll be satisfied with bread.watch.Be the first and be the best.You have all it takes for you're wonderfully made.

January 21 John 21:6,10,11

6. And he said unto them,Cast the net on the right side of the ship,and ye shall find. They cast therefore,and now THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DRAW IT for the multitude of fishes.
10. Jesus saith unto them,Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11. Simon Peter went up,and drew the net to land full of great fishes,an hundred and fifty and three:and for all there were so many,yet was not the net broken.

Christ Jesus has the power. He is God.Meaning He is omnipotent,able to do all things.Infact,He said 'all power is given to me in heaven and in earth'.If we obey Him,we become exposed to unlimited power. In our Today's passage,some of the disciples(about seven,7) had gone to catch fish.Then Jesus told them to cast the net and they'll find.He is Jehovah Jireh,He can provide all things.And so they cast their net and were not able to draw it because the fish were many.About 7people were struggling and dragging fish. Then later,Jesus said to them,Bring the fish.And to my surprise,one man went and drew the net to land.Not by power,nor by might but by the Spirit of God.All things are possible.God ALWAYS provides the means when He sends you.Many wonder and ask,how did Samson do this,how did Noah do that,how did Moses do those?Its with God.With God,all things are possible.With God,your sickness is taken away,with God,your needs are provided for.If you will obey God,people will wonder at you,saying,How come?

January 22 Proverbs 22:28
28. Remove not the ancient landmark,which thy fathers have set.

Tough advice,you might think.But good advice all the same.Its in the Proverbs.Its most probably the wisest thing to do.Remove not the ancient landmark.Don't remove the bound.Don't break the hedge. Landmarks or bounds are not limitations or kill joys. Many today have being taught to see landmarks as shackles,manipulative,legalistic.Well,they're not.It all depends on your standpoint and your vision. Hedges are set to keep you from danger.There's danger in this world.come out of fantasy.Christians are strangers,not of this world.You can't do any and everything. Whosoever breaks the landmark,the serpent will bite.Thats truth. Our spiritual fathers have set before us a godly heritage.Remember 1Corinthians10v1? (I know where I came from).Lets follow it.Its the safest way to heaven.And you know what,there's joy in obedience to laid down biblical precepts,There's peace in trust. Every sheep needs shepherding.Only goats are 'free'.You can be a sheep.Don't remove the ancient landmark.

January 23 Job 23v14
14. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

Do you remember when these big companies announce their public offers?Those big banks whose staff are 'always' smiling.Those multinationals.Those people with the many adverts.Once there's word that these want to extend shares to the public,people begin to hustle and to lobby.They want to put as much money as they can into the investment because the belief is that,very soon money will multiply.Even people abroad send money to their relatives to help them buy.Its that serious.Infact,some people make sure that the day the offer closes is extended.Why? Because they believe they'll get their dividends. We have a God who owns the whole world+x. Think about that.If only we could believe and invest,then we'll reap the dividends of investing. It is surer than any economy,For He performs that which is appointed for me,and many such things are with Him. He is able.He will deliver.Your dividends are sure. He makes it happen.Put your hope in Him. Put your faith in God,and,as some of my countrypeople say,the water that is appointed for you,You will drink it. No devil,no enemy,nobody can stop it.For God is for you.

32. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
Praise God. We live in a day where you could be surrounded by positive talk.Many are making it an habit to have a model.Did I say a model?No sorry role modelS.There seems to be a lot of good examples to follow.You'll see people say,this is my spiritual model,thats my financial mentor,those are my marital model,my academic model etc. Hmmm,many good examples. Do you ever consider that there's something important to learn from bad people's lives as well?Our Today's passage says 'I saw and considered it well'.Yes,you need to open your eyes and consider it well.Bad people are not to be gossiped about or laughed at.Take heed lest you fall.Learn.Look upon it and receive instruction.Look at the way that man became homosexual,how that unmarried girl got impregnated,What that guy did that got him into prison,the way those people dressed before been shamefully addressed.Look before you leap.Consider it well today and receive instruction.

January 25 Acts 25:4
4. But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

Here comes another classic example of God working behind the scenes for us.I love God. Its not news that the Jews are favoured people.They have it easy procuring favour through the ages.In the chapter before our passage's,the last verse,they just demonstrated that. Even against Paul! Former governor Felix was willing to show the Jews a pleasure. Then comes Festus,the new governor.He went to visit the Jews,and the Jews came informing and begging him and desiring a favour against Paul. 9times out of 10,they should get this request granted.The governor didn't even know Paul,and actually in verse9 he was willing to show the Jews a pleasure. But God was there,working behind the scene to keep Paul from the plan of the Jews.The Jews didn't get their request. Your enemies will not get their request granted. Because you are kept by the power of God,day by day,night by night. The Lord is your shade upon your right hand.And you're seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus on God's right hand.You're covered. There's nothing to be worried about.

Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

In every progressive organisation,establishment or company, every worker has his/her scope of work,objectives,kind of mission statement and duty whether written or otherwise. It could be a big football club,a bank, an oil company,government or a small business center.
In every proper family, all the members of the family including the visitors have their scope of work and duty.
In heaven, everybody has his own specific scope of work and duties.It is not much different in the church.Every pastor,member,invitee,first timer, all have their duties for the church to function right and the presence of God to continue with it.Some of the duties of the pastor are written in Today's passage. The pastor should open the eyes of the congregation.He should remove every form of dangerous ignorance (whether spiritual,financial,medical etc). The pastor should TURN his congregation from darkness to light,and from satan to God. It's not enough to keep you coming to church,he should TURN you.Literally TURN you from every wrong to the light. The pastor should preach repentance (TURNING) and forgiveness of sins to his congregation and tell them of their inheritance.Is your pastor living up to his duties? Please Pray for him to leave up to his duties.

January 28 Proverbs 28v19
Pro 28:19 Whoever works his land will have plenty to eat. Whoever chases unrealistic dreams will have plenty of nothing. God's Word

You surely must have heard about laws of success before. Everybody comes out with various ones. You hear 21 principles of success,7 laws of prosperity,12 laws of dominion,40 tips to breakthrough and such like.Some pay a lot of money to hear these things in a lecture,a seminar,through books and audio CDs,mp3s and so on. Of course,many of these things are real and do work but it should not be too new to a believer or a student of the Bible. Our Today's verse says he that tills his land will have plenty of bread,but he that follows worthless pursuitswill have plenty of poverty (enough poverty).
Its a law,its a fact.It doesn't matter whether you're catholic or protestant,spirit-filled or athiest,whoever. He that tills will be rich. Be diligent,be hardworking and you will make it Yes,God can help you to make it,but you have your part to play.Every one that plays his/her part well has plenty of bread.Some people work and think so hard to swindle and steal from people.Some work and think hard to develop ideas and move the world forward.,the IT people are tilling their land and making money.He that tilleth his land has plenty of bread.But anybody that follows vain people(empty headed fellows) will have enough poverty. Make a move to move forward from Today.Obey this God ordained laws and live a happier life.

January 29 Psalm29:2

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

We live in the times of the end.Its quite easy to echo with Christ and say 'If Jesus comes today,will he find faith on earth?'We're surrounded by men pleasers and people who love to hear what they want to hear. It many places of worship today,it is sad to note that the glory due to the Lord's name is not given to Him.We're quick to mistake our dance,our clap,our money as what the Lord really wants. Its now normal everywhere to hear something like "If you know you love God/God is good, do this or do that". In God's scope,in the Bible's view, the worship of the Lord should be done in holiness.God sees it as a beauty.Give God glory due to His name,worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.O that you could have a revelation of the beauty of holiness. It's more than the superficial ways that we've come to be used to and satisfied with.Worship in the beauty of holiness.In the beauty of holiness.

January 30 Proverbs 30:5

Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Humans today seem to be 'wiser' than they need to be.Many people know toomuch.They've read that,they know this and consequently, their trust is now in themselves,in their knowledge and in the source
of information that they have.Many people are armed to the teeth with evidence.they've studied ,they 'understand' or so it seems,so they can't believe. "O,that leg looks bad,judging from my experience and 'scientific' knowledge,it should be cut-off (amputated),not healed".The Word of God who is true and for all says God is a shield to them that trust in Him. Trust in God,not in what you know.God declares in our Today's passage.Every word of God is pure.EVERY.Thats final if you trust God.Unfotunately,
people do not.They believe, o the old testament is corrupt,The gospels are tampered with,the epistles were added by some group etc. Well,what God has cleansed,for your advice,call it not unclean.God has given us the gift of the Bible.The 66 books.Everything.Every word of God is pure.The new testament says,all scripture is profitable.Do not remove from the Word.knowingly or ignorantly.

January 31 Job 31 v 29,30
Job 31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
Job 31:30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.


Father Job was God's man.A peculiar person.Chosen. God could even pit Job against the devil.Why?Because he lived a radiant life.He was Christlike,Shining for all the world to see. If there ever was grace and patience,it was in the life of Job.
He's an example for us Today, Among the cloud of witnesses that we are ALWAYS surrounded by. Job did not have the new testament.I sincerely doubt if he had the old testament to read.He could not come boldly before the throne of grace like we can today,to obtain grace in time of need.But he was no 1. He was righteous.He said "I should have denied God if I rejoiced at the destruction of mine enemies".That is heavenly language.No 1 stuff.Many of our spiritual people today,pride themselves in been terrorists to other men.They are willing and always armed to rain down fire,curses and death on their 'opposition'.Thank god our fathers are not like that.As for me,I will not remove the landmark which the fathers have set.Job said "I have not allowed my mouth to SIN by wishing a curse to him that hated me". if anybody should ever have enemies and bitterness,it should be Job,but thank God for his example. If he did it,then I can.

February 1 Judges 1 v 19

Jdg 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.


As we come into the new month,its good that we do a quick inspection of our 'goals' for the year.You most likely must have had lovely goals,great promises and prayers at the start of the year.
Wake up,its just the second month.Get refreshed,those promises are still yours. They are not as far away as you may feel. This was the state of the children of Judah in our Today's passage.The Lord was with them but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley.Surely,they know that the enemies had chariots of iron but they seem to have forgotten that the Lord was with them,looking at the things that are seen. Thank God for the faith that Caleb earlier demonstrated saying "give me this mountain".It was in that faith that Judah drove out the inhabitants of the mountain.But now,no Caleb,no Joshua.
Judah couldn't see anything but the chariots of iron in the valley.They forgot that all they needed was in them and with them. Many people think that way.They say 'If only Caleb was here,If only Joshua had not died,everything will be fine'.Everything can be fine but it depends on your approach.God is ALWAYS with His children.God was with Moses at the Red Sea when they faced Pharaoh and HIS CHARIOTS.God told Moses,why are you crying to me,do your part.God was with David in 1Chronicles 11v9,he waxed greater and greater.Jesus/God been in the ship doesn't mean that there would be no storms.Are you looking at the storms or the chariot of iron? What do YOU DO with Jesus/God when the storm comes. He's with you and His promises are true.Look into you.What are doing or need to do.The onus is still on you.

February 2 Ephesians 2v2

Eph 2:2 in which you once lived according to the ways of this present world and according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now active in those who are disobedient. ISV

Children of God are different from others.Thats what the Bible says.They are new creatures,they've repented,turned away from some past deeds.Its bad to see many today that claim salvation without a DEFINITE change. A new walk.A new look. A genuinely saved person does not,cannot do the things that he used to do.Today,People are not ususlly taught to drop the course/way of the world when they come to Jesus.They've being taught ANOTHER gospel.A gospel of come to Jesus with your fornication,come to Jesus with your witchcraft and idolatry,come to Jesus with your anger and superstitions,we can blend them together.
NO,no,no.You should come to Jesus just as you are so that he then saves you from your sins . Immediately He saves you,there's a great change. A CONVERSION,a new way of thinking,talking,dressing,even walking and eating.In time past i.e BEFORE,you walked according to the course of this world.The course of this world is different from the course of heaven. There're things that only children of disobedience should be found with or doing.A new creature cannot continue smoking, hemp for that matter.That is for 'in time past'.A new creature cannot dress like they do in the world.the spirit that works in the children of disobedience should not remain in your life. You become strangers to the world,pilgrims, God's workmanship,created in Christ Jesus unto good works.May God deliver you from the course of this world.

Have you ever heard that the way up is down?That there's a cross before the crown,and humility before honour. In God's system of dealing with man,that's the way to go.Becoming foolish to be wise.This is not earthly wisdom that we're talking about.This is spiritual understanding.To understand God and His ways.A wisdom that is not devilish but first pure,then peaceable and full of good fruits an without hypocrisy.Let no man deceive himself. How prone we are to deceive ourselves,thinking we know something. Evidence,we have evidence against God and His ways.If any among you seems wise in this world,let him become a fool that he may be wise.Let him come down from his high horse.Let him put aside his 'brilliance' and put his trust in God,believing.That's the way to wisdom.Eternal wisdom,godly wisdom. The wisdom that
matters after life.Let no man deceive himself.Get wisdom

February 5 John 5v24

Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Understand this,by default,all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.that has been the position of man since Adam's fall.Man has being seperate from God,dead,condemned since then.They've all gone out of the way,they're all sinners having a sentence of eternal death hanging on them,but here comes verily,verily. Anyone who hears i.e obeys Christ's words(the Bible) and believes i.e has faith in God,such one has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation.Thats from the judge Himself.
You will not come into condemnation. A born again child of God is passed from death to life.it is a transfer,passed from death to life.He that believeS in Me shall never die.Keep this conditions and forget,throw away anything that the devil tells you.The devil is a liar.The devil wants to put condemning thoughts in the believer.He wants you to doubt God and doubt what you have received.Give him no space,you've been passed.You're in life.You have everlasting life.Stay in God and hear Christ's words and live forever and ever.

February 6 1Corinthians 6:9-11

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.


Friends,even as children of God,we are not omniscient.Its possible for us not to know somethings.That's why we learn everyday.Infact,someone said that when you stop learning,you start dying.The Corinthian church had the gift of God but they were nearly deceived.But thenk God for Apostle Paul,he enlightened them.He made them aware of the danger of unrighteousness. He gave them an idea of the people on the danger list.Of the danger of not inheriting the eternal kingdom of God.This is something you must know about. If you are/practice any of the things listed below,the Word of God says you're not going to heaven.

(1). Fornicators(sexual relations between YOU and ANYone or ANYthing you're not married to,man or woman, or animal, or stimulator)

(2). Idolaters [giving preference to anything, idea or person above God('s)].

(3). Adulterers(polygamists,divorced John 4v17,18 and other sexual relations outside marriage)

(4). Effeminate(erasing distinction of the genders by your actions e.g dressing,sex,mien,position).

(5). Abusers of themselves with mankind (perverts).

(6). Thieves (taking away what belongs to God or other people)

(7). Coveteous (envious of others' possessions and discontent, dissatisfaction).

(cool. Drunkards (ANYBODY who gets drunk is a drunkard whether once or anytime).

(9). Revilers (Haters of God,of a particular church or sect/denomination like Saul of Tarsus, or of a person maybe the leader,the politician,your ex, etc).

(10). Extortioners (collecting something from someone by force).

The danger list continues in other Scriptures. Stay away from its membership.We were all in the danger list,there's no point arguing that so and such is no sin.Such were some of you.Make the right decisions. Be washed,sanctified and justified by the Lord God.

February 7 John 7v15
John 7:15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Have you ever thought that self development is also part of what is meant to be Christlike or godly?Jesus developed Himself as much as He could,followers of Jesus should do likewise. Of course,you'll also remember that He(Jesus) also listened to and asked questions from others,so its not self dependence or isolation or ego, its self development. Many Christians behave like invalids,they want everything to be done for them,by God or by their leaders(spiritual and political) or by others in general.
No! There should be self/personal development.That takes you to the top. how does this man know letters having never learned.Some people blame others,the economy,the country,the government,their parents,"NEPA",for their present condition.But do you realise that most of the richest men in our country are not professors or Ph.D holders?Some are even illiterates,but htey took their opportunities,made the right decisions,developed themselves and are very good at what they do.Do you know that one of America's former vice presidents did not finish school,the CEOs of Microsoft and Oracle both dropped out of university.They said 20% of America's millionaires never set foot in college to study.they developed themselves.Are you studying in school,look around.Some of the brilliant people around you develop themselves.They go the extramile,above what is taught in class.
You have no excuse.Develop yourself,at least it's Christlike.

February 8 John 8v12

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto 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.

Jesus says "I am the light of the world".He has come to give light to the world.His light is the way.Man is in darkness without Christ Jesus.He is the Christ,the Messiah,our Saviour who saves us from darkness.Christians should understand this.The world is in darkness but Christ reveals the light.He is light.His word is light,he is the Word.What He reveals to us in the Word is light.We should understand that our reasonings andunderstanding is dark.Jesus is the light.His command is light.He is the Way,the only Way.If you follow Jesus,you will not walk in darkness.He will reveal His light to you.you will have the light of life.He will tell you what is right and what is wrong.You need to follow the light.He that follows the light shall not walk in darkness.

February 9 Psalm 9:7,17

Psa 9:7 But the LORD shall endure forever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.


Judgement is not a convenient thing to talk about.Many of us don't want to be judged so we say "thou shall not judge".But of a fact,God has prepared His throne for judgement.Unbelievers may doubt the coming judgement,well that's why they are unbelievers.They don't believe. But the truth is that God has prepared His throne for judgement.We may come boldly today for mercy,for grace,or for favour.We may even fill His throne with praise but NEVER ever forget again, God has prepared His throne for judgement.Judgement is coming.The wicked will be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
You may boast today of 'good economy',good facilities etc but make no mistake,the wicked shall be turned into hell, and everyone that forget God.Have that God conciousness with you.Live a God pleasing,holy life.Remember God in all your dealings and by God's grace,you'll be saved from the judgement to come.

February 10 Proverbs 10:2
Pro 10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivers from death. MKJV
A treasure is valuable,useful,special and important.But treasures of wickedness profit nothing.There is no gain in wickedness.The wicked are the sinners.They are classified before God as wicked.They do not follow God,therefore automatically,they follow the devil,the wicked one.He is their father.All their most
prized things, their most useful treasures and things of interest are of no profit in the end.Only righteousness is profitable in the long run.It is only righteousness that can deliver from death.Death here means eternal seperation from God.That means then that,without righteousness,you cannot be delivered from being eternally seperated from the Father (God). Righteousness is not just for your pastor or for some particular denominationin town.Righteousness is for you.It is necessary.It delivers from death.Seek God's righteousness,there is no profit in even the treasures(most valuable things) of wickedness.

February 11 Proverbs 11v14

Pro 11:14 Where there is no wisdom, the people fall; but in the multitude of wise men there is safety.

Naturally,man has the inclination for independence.We want to do it on our own.As much as possible,we would prefer not to ask.Most people who ask ususlly do so because of past experiences(personal and known) of the limitations of not asking.Man is created a social being.He needs fellowship.He needs others.It is not good that man
should be alone.Where no counsel is,the people fall.Two heads are better than one. Lets learn to tap from others.No single person knows it all.Don't carry all the world's load on your head.get counsel.There is safety in the multitude of counselors.Get GODLY counsel around you.Overcome shyness and pride as the case may be.
Learn to listen to others.

We've looked at something similarpreviously in Proverbs 28, I heard that repitition is for emphasis. It means that this is pretty important.Isn't it? King Solomon was rich.Very rich.And he's telling us some of the things that worked for him.He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread.you need to till,to work.Even those that ate free manna had to go out and gather EVERY DAY.Faith without work is dead.Its not real faith.You could keep claiming and saying all you want,but you need to till,work,prepare,plan.Face what you are learning squarely and be the best.God does not appreciate laziness or mediocrity.Be purposeful and excellent like Daniel.Be wise and diligent like Solomon.Be faithful and persistent like Isaac.You are already on the ladder of success.Don't follow empty headed persons.Don't be slack.Don't be foolish.Don't lose faith.See you at the top.
