Key Verse: "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number"
- Job 9:7, 10

Read: Ecclesiastes 10:16-20


The promise of the Holy Spirit baptism was fufilled in the second book of Acts. As the disciples spoke in different but understandable languages, being Galileans, the people were amazed. While some wondered at the great miracle, others charged them with drunkenness. This charge was punctured by Peter who reminded them that it was but the third hour of the day and it would be unwise and irresponsible to be drunk at that time of the day.

Obviously, apostles and ardent believers are made of more sober stuff. Our text paints the picture of a tragic state of affairs when rulers and leaders are childish and their princes begin the day by satisfying their appetites. Apparently looking back to the book of 1st and 2nd Kings, the writer remembered the decline of the kingdoms when the leaders were concerned about themselves and concluded that laziness was at the root of it. Godly leaders set good examples for the rest to follow.[url] http://www.sufficientblog.com/2016/08/nobility-of-discipline-by-william-kumuyi.html[/url]
