EFFECTIVE MINGLING DEMANDS THAT YOU LEARN HOW TO INVEST IN YOUR SECRET PLACE.

CLOSE THE DOOR OF YOUR MARRIAGE 

This story inspired me when I read it and I know It would inspire you to in your quest for effective mingling. 

"My maternal grandmother died last year at 107 years,

 Before her death, there is one word of hers that stuck to my heart. Which she first told me on my wedding day. 

She said;  "don't take lectures from external teachers in your marriage. 

The external teachers will never teach you good things, they will tell you I can never take this, i can never take that, it is a lie, they take hundreds of what they advice you not take."

There is another tip I got from one of my older friend recently, she has been married for twenty something years....( I call her mummy though, but I found a friend in her)

She told me; "Always close the door of your marriage!"

I didn't understand her, so i repeated the question "close the door of my marriage, how?"

She told me never to give details to anybody including my relatives on the happenings in my home. 

I have always heard advice like don't report your husband to your parents blah, blah, blah.

But this old advice came newly with modifications I.e,

 if your husband gives you this amount, close the door!

 if he hurts you talk to him, close the door!,

If he is building a new house, celebrate God together, close the door!

If he just got a promotion, close the door!

If he just there is a crisis in his place of work, pray together about it, close the door!

When you are planning to have another baby, close the door!

He bought a new property in your name, close the door!

The last disagreement you both had doesn't involve any 3rd party, therefore it is wisdom not to bring another party into the settlement."

Spiritually, married couple are never alone, they always have companies even though they are alone behind a closed door. 

No matter how you see it, God is there and devil is there, who you mingle with and accommodate the most decides the pattern of the occurrences in your marriage. 

If you choose God, it doesn't automatically means there won't be trials and tribulations but victory is sure at the end of the trials. 

But a hopeless case is when couple are living in unforgiveness. It is a catalysts to many unplanned events that leads to a broken home.

May God grant us wisdom to get it together at all times.

Level 3 - Production

One of the dangers of getting to the Permission level is that a leader may be tempted to stop there.

But good leaders don't just create a pleasant working environment. They get things done!

That's why they must move up to Level 3, which is based primarily on results obtained.

On the Production level leaders gain influence and credibility, and people begin to follow them because of what they have done for the organization.

Many positive things begin happening when leaders get to Level 3.

Work gets done, morale improves, profits go up, turnover goes down and goals are achieved. For more on today's Wordspiration and scripture kindly click on the link: 

It is also on Level 3 that momentum kicks in.
Leading and influencing others becomes fun on this level.

Success and productivity have been known to solve a lot of problems.

Someone once said, "When you're winning, nothing hurts."

On Level 3, leaders can become change agents. They can tackle tough problems and face thorny issues.

They can make the difficult decisions that will make a difference. They can take their people to another level of effectiveness.

Tap into wisdom as you study todays scripture. Stay blessed.

Proverbs 23

Amplified Bible

On Life and Conduct

23 When you sit down to dine with a ruler,

Consider carefully what is [set] before you;

2 

For you will put a knife to your throat

If you are a man of great appetite.

3 

Do not desire his delicacies,

For it is deceptive food [offered to you with questionable motives].

4 

Do not weary yourself [with the overwhelming desire] to gain wealth;

Cease from your own understanding of it.

5 

When you set your eyes on wealth, it is [suddenly] gone.

For wealth certainly makes itself wings

Like an eagle that flies to the heavens.

6 

Do not eat the bread of a selfish man,

Or desire his delicacies;

7 

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he [in behavior—one who manipulates].

He says to you, “Eat and drink,”

Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost].

8 

The morsel which you have eaten you will vomit up,

And you will waste your compliments.

9 

Do not speak in the ears of a fool,

For he will despise the [godly] wisdom of your words.

10 

Do not move the ancient landmark [at the boundary of the property]

And do not go into the fields of the fatherless [to take what is theirs],

11 

For their Redeemer is strong and mighty;

He will plead their case against you.

12 

Apply your heart to discipline

And your ears to words of knowledge.

13 

Do not withhold discipline from the child;

If you [a]swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die.

14 

You shall [b]swat him with the reed-like rod

And rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

15 

My son, if your heart is wise,

My heart will also be glad;

16 

Yes, my heart will rejoice

When your lips speak right things.

17 

Do not let your heart envy sinners [who live godless lives and have no hope of salvation],

But [continue to] live in the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord day by day.

18 

Surely there is a future [and a reward],

And your hope and expectation will not be cut off.

19 

Listen, my son, and be wise,

And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord].

20 

Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,

Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,

21 

For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,

And the drowsiness [of overindulgence] will clothe one with rags.

22 

Listen to your father, who sired you,

And do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 

[c]Buy truth, and do not sell it;

Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.

24 

The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,

And he who sires a wise child will have joy in him.

25 

Let your father and your mother be glad,

And let her who gave birth to you rejoice [in your wise and godly choices].

26 

My son, give me your heart

And let your eyes delight in my ways,

27 

For a prostitute is a deep pit,

And an immoral woman is a narrow well.

28 

She lurks and lies in wait like a robber [who waits for prey],

And she increases the faithless among men.

29 

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?

Who has strife? Who has complaining?

Who has wounds without cause?

Whose eyes are red and dim?

30 

Those who linger long over wine,

Those who go to taste mixed wine.

31 

Do not look at wine when it is red,

When it sparkles in the glass,

When it goes down smoothly.

32 

At the last it bites like a serpent

And stings like a viper.

33 

Your [drunken] eyes will see strange things

And your mind will utter perverse things [untrue things, twisted things].

34 

And you will be [as unsteady] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea,

And [as vulnerable to disaster] as one who lies down on the top of a ship’s mast, saying,

35 

“They struck me, but I was not hurt!

They beat me, but I did not feel it!

When will I wake up?

I will seek more wine.”

Understanding Positional Leadership

Level 2 - Permission

Level 2 is based entirely on relationships. On the Permission level, people follow because they want to. 

When you like people and treat them like individuals who have value, you begin to develop influence with them. 

You develop trust. The environment becomes much more positive -- whether at home, on the job, in school, at play, or while volunteering.

The agenda for leaders on Level 2 isn't preserving their position.

It's getting to know their people and figuring out how to get along with them.

 Leaders find out who their people are. Followers find out who their leaders are.

 

 People build solid, lasting relationships. They tend to mingle with the aim of making positive difference in the life of people. 

You can like people without leading them, but you cannot lead people well without liking them. 

That's what Level 2 is all about. At level 2, you engage your emotion which is powered by the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord at some level in the leadership process. 

Tap into wisdom as you study todays scripture. Stay blessed.

Proverbs 22

Amplified Bible

On Life and Conduct

22 A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches;

And favor is better than silver and gold.

2 

The rich and poor have a common bond;

The Lord is the Maker of them all.

3 

A prudent and far-sighted person sees the evil [of sin] and hides himself [from it],

But the naive continue on and are punished [by suffering the consequences of sin].

4 

The reward of humility [that is, having a realistic view of one’s importance] and the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord

Is riches, honor, and life.

5 

Thorns and snares are in the way of the obstinate [for their lack of honor and their wrong-doing traps them]; He who guards himself [with godly wisdom] will be far from them and avoid the consequences they suffer.

6 

Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents], Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

7 

The rich rules over the poor,

And the borrower is servant to the lender.

8 

He who sows injustice will reap [a harvest of] trouble,

And the rod of his wrath [with which he oppresses others] will fail.

9 

He who is generous will be blessed,

For he gives some of his food to the poor.

10 

Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away;

Even strife and dishonor will cease.

11 

He who loves purity of heart

And whose speech is gracious will have the king as his friend.

12 

The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and the one who has it,

But He overthrows the words of the treacherous.

13 

The lazy one [manufactures excuses and] says, “There is a lion outside!

I will be killed in the streets [if I go out to work]!”

14 

The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit [deep and inescapable];

He who is cursed by the Lord [because of his adulterous sin] will fall into it.

15 

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;

The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him.

16 

He who oppresses or exploits the poor to get more for himself

Or who gives to the rich [to gain influence and favor], will only come to poverty.

17 

Listen carefully and hear the [a]words of the wise,

And apply your mind to my knowledge;

18 

For it will be pleasant if you keep them in mind [incorporating them as guiding principles];

Let them be ready on your lips [to guide and strengthen yourself and others].

19 

So that your trust and reliance and confidence may be in the Lord,

I have taught these things to you today, even to you.

20 

Have I not written to you excellent things

In counsels and knowledge,

21 

To let you know the certainty of the words of truth,

That you may give a correct answer to him who sent you?

22 

Do not rob the poor because he is poor [and defenseless],

Nor crush the afflicted [by legal proceedings] at the gate [where the city court is held],

23 

For the Lord will plead their case

And take the life of those who rob them.

24 

Do not even associate with a man given to angry outbursts;

Or go [along] with a hot-tempered man,

25 

Or you will learn his [undisciplined] ways

And get yourself trapped [in a situation from which it is hard to escape].

26 

Do not be among those who give pledges [involving themselves in others’ finances],

Or among those who become guarantors for others’ debts.

27 

If you have nothing with which to pay [another’s debt when he defaults],

Why should his creditor take your bed from under you?

28 

Do not move the ancient landmark [at the boundary of the property]

Which your fathers have set.

29 

Do you see a man skillful and experienced in his work?

He will stand [in honor] before kings;

He will not stand before obscure men.

DAILY WISDOM WORDSPIRATION WITH PROVERBS CHAPTER 21

THE FIVE LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP

Welcome to yet another Monday morning, we shall be studying five levels of leadership.

Level 1 - Position

Position is the lowest level of leadership -- the entry level. The only influence a positional leader has is that which comes with the job title.

People follow because they have to. Positional leadership is based on the rights granted by the position and title. Nothing is wrong with having a leadership position.

Everything is wrong with using position to get people to follow. Position is a poor substitute for influence.

People who make it only to Level 1 may be bosses, but they are never leaders.

They have subordinates, not team members.

They rely on rules, regulations, policies, and organization charts to control their people.

Their people will only follow them within the stated boundaries of their authority. And their people will usually do only what is required of them.

When positional leaders ask for extra effort or time, they rarely get it.

Positional leaders usually have difficulty working with volunteers, younger people, and the highly educated. Why?

Because positional leaders have no influence, and these types of people tend to be more
independent.

Position is the only level that does not require ability and effort to achieve.

Anyone can be appointed to a position. Position is therefore not a true test of influence.

Tomorrow we would consider another level of leadership.

Ensure that you share this post with your friends and family.

As you do so, you are changing levels in the school of leadership.

Tap into wisdom as you study todays scripture. Stay blessed.

Proverbs 21

Amplified Bible

On Life and Conduct

1 

The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;

He turns it whichever way He wishes.

2 

Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs and examines the hearts [of people and their motives].

3 

To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice [for wrongs repeatedly committed].

4 

Haughty and arrogant eyes and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked [their self-centered pride], is sin [in the eyes of God].

5 

The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance and advantage, But everyone who acts in haste comes surely to poverty.

6 

Acquiring treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the seeking and pursuit of death.

7 

The violence of the wicked will [return to them and] drag them away [like fish caught in a net], Because they refuse to act with justice.

8 

The way of the guilty is [exceedingly] crooked, But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.

9 

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop [on the flat roof, exposed to the weather] Than in a house shared with a quarrelsome (contentious) woman.

10 

The soul of the wicked desires evil [like an addictive substance]; His neighbor finds no compassion in his eyes.

11 

When the scoffer is punished, the naive [observes the lesson and] becomes wise; But when the wise and teachable person is instructed, he receives knowledge.

12 

The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked — How the wicked are cast down to ruin.

13 

Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor Will cry out himself and not be answered.

14 

A gift in secret subdues anger, And a bribe [hidden] in the pocket, strong wrath.

15 

When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous (the upright, the one in right standing with God),

But to the evildoers it is disaster.

16 

A man who wanders from the way of understanding (godly wisdom) Will remain in the assembly of the dead.

17 

He who loves [only selfish] pleasure will become a poor man; He who loves and is devoted to [a]wine and [olive] oil will not become rich.

18 

The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous in the place of the upright [for they fall into their own traps].

19 

It is better to dwell in a desert land Than with a contentious and troublesome woman.

20 

There is precious treasure and oil in the house of the wise [who prepare for the future], But a short-sighted and foolish man swallows it up and wastes it.

21 

He who earnestly seeks righteousness and loyalty, Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

22 

A wise man scales the city [walls] of the mighty, And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 

He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards himself from troubles.

24 

“Proud,” “Haughty,” “Scoffer,” are his names, Who acts with overbearing and insolent pride.

25 

The desire of the lazy kills him, For his hands refuse to labor;

26 

He craves all the day long [and does no work], But the righteous [willingly] gives and does not withhold [what he has].

27 

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable and offensive [to the Lord]. How much more [unacceptable and insulting can it be] when he brings it with evil intention?

28 

A false witness will perish, But a man who listens to the truth will speak forever and go unchallenged.

29 

A wicked man puts on a bold face, But as for the upright, he considers, directs, and establishes his way [with the confidence of integrity].

30 

There is no [human] wisdom or understanding. Or counsel [that can prevail] against the Lord.

31 

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance and victory belong to the Lord.

May the words of this book that you have read today enrich your soul and give you direction in Jesus name. 

DAILY WISDOM WORDSPIRATION WITH PROVERBS CHAPTER 20

COMMANDING KINGDOM WEALTH

Why do we pray for change and increase and it seems that God is not answering? Prayer is not the only key factor for breakthrough. Ecclesiastics 10:10-15 KJV

Wisdom is more profitable than prayer when it comes to the subject of success. When you pray, God blesses you by giving you an idea or product inspiration. It however requires wisdom to turn ideas to products. 

Miracles are instantenous - they do not make you wealthy - it is is reproduceable wealth Creation systems that makes wealthy. 

Does God really bless?

There are financial miracles, but it is not what makes wealthy. It is commitment to work that culminates in wealth. Yes, God blesses and here are the content of the blessing. 

1. Fruitfulness. Idea creation abilities. Inspiration. Innovative capabilities. Abilty to discover and invent. 

2. Multiplication. Abilty to create products and systems. It is turning ideas to reproduceable products that service the needs of mankind. 

3. Replenish. This is creating effective distribution systems that gets your products or services into the hands of multitudes thereby creating wealth. 

4. Subdue. Forces would surely rise up against your enterprise. Surely they shall gather, but not by me saith the lord. A great and effectual door is opened, but there are many adversaries. The blessing would attract opposition, but the lord has given you a mouth and a wisdom which your adversary can naither gainsay nor resist. It is all part of the blessing package. 

5. Dominion. The ultimate of the blessing is for your products to have a presence in every family, institution, government, nation etc. Your product must nourish all the families of the earth. This is dominion. 

HOW SOME PEOPLE GET WEALTHY

Proverbs 13:22

1. Through Inheritance, some people become wealthy. 

2. Some get wealthy by fraud or dubious means. Proverbs 13:11 This will not be you. 

3. People get rich by labour. 

Proverbs 13:11b

The blessing of God would not come independent of your labour. When you pray for Gods blessings, God increases your work. 

He increases your enterprise value. God blesses the work of your hands. He increases your ability to produce more, to meet more value. 

The blessings of God works through your labour to make you wealthy. 

Those people God blesses.

1. God blessed Isaac. Genesis 26:1-12

In the season of drought, it is the blessings of God that brings about increase. Maximum yield would always answer to the blessings of God upon your labour. The blessings of God would not always come independent of your labour. The blessings of God supplies ideas for great enterprise that produce wealth. 

2. God blessed Jacob. 

Genesis 31: 29, 31:5-12

God blesses people in material things. Praying in tongues with a non - working hand will always lead to poverty. 

Praying for wealth would always result in wisdom which is expected to result in breakthrough ideas. God's blessings would always happen around the activity of your production. 

This is what brings about increase and expansion. When you become noticed finally, can people see your exceptional value.

 This is what leads to your promotion. Rather than just pray for God to bless you with cash, pray that He blesses you with capacity to add value.

 Those who produce value, always end up promoted. When you have nothing doing, you have nothing coming. When you are so lazy, even God is handicapped in using you. When you don't want to be used, you find it difficult to be raised. Christianity is not an escape from hard work and labour. Redemption is a baptism of hard work. 

Giving gives value to your work. 

Matthew 23:23

1. Sow your seed in tithes and offering to the church. 

2. Give to the poor. 

3. Support your parents. 

Giving is no longer what we do to obey a law, but by grace, giving is now our redemptive nature. 

Giving is a proof of gratitude and praise in your heart to God, the supplier of all things. 1 Corinthians 16:2

If you cannot trust your pastor with your finance, and you trust him with your life, how stupid you can be! 

"This new week shall be your week of greater financial supplies. The work of your hands shall be supernaturally blessed."

Proverbs 20

Amplified Bible

On Life and Conduct

Wine is a mocker, strong drink a riotous brawler;

And whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.

2 

The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion;

Whoever provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

3 

It is an honor for a man to keep away from strife [by handling situations with thoughtful foresight],

But any fool will [start a] quarrel [without regard for the consequences].

4 

The lazy man does not plow when the winter [planting] season arrives;

So he begs at the [next] harvest and has nothing [to reap].

5 

A plan (motive, wise counsel) in the heart of a man is like water in a deep well,

But a man of understanding draws it out.

6 

Many a man proclaims his own loyalty and goodness,

But who can find a faithful and trustworthy man?

7 

The righteous man who walks in integrity and lives life in accord with his [godly] beliefs—

How blessed [happy and spiritually secure] are his children after him [who have his example to follow].

8 

A [discerning] king who sits on the throne of judgment

Sifts all evil [like chaff] with his eyes [and cannot be easily fooled].

9 

Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart,

I am pure from my sin?”

10 

Differing weights [one for buying and another for selling] and differing measures,

Both of them are detestable and offensive to the Lord.

11 

Even a boy is known and distinguished by his acts,

Whether his conduct is pure and right.

12 

The hearing ear and the seeing eye,

The [omnipotent] Lord has made both of them.

13 

Do not love [excessive] sleep, or you will become poor;

Open your eyes [so that you can do your work] and you will be satisfied with bread.

14 

“It is [almost] worthless, it is [almost] worthless,” says the buyer [as he negotiates the price];

But when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain].

15 

There is gold, and an abundance of pearls,

But the lips of knowledge are a vessel of preciousness [the most precious of all].

16 

[The judge tells the creditor], “Take the clothes of one who is surety for a stranger;

And hold him in pledge [when he guarantees a loan] for foreigners.”

17 

Food gained by deceit is sweet to a man,

But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel [just as sin may be sweet at first, but later its consequences bring despair].

18 

Plans are established by counsel;

So make war [only] with wise guidance.

19 

He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets;

Therefore do not associate with a gossip [who talks freely or flatters].

20 

Whoever curses his father or his mother,

His lamp [of life] will be extinguished in time of darkness.

21 

An inheritance hastily gained [by greedy, unjust means] at the beginning

Will not be blessed in the end.

22 

Do not say, “I will repay evil”;

Wait [expectantly] for the Lord, and He will rescue and save you.

23 

Differing weights are detestable and offensive to the Lord,

And fraudulent scales are not good.

24 

Man’s steps are ordered and ordained by the Lord.

How then can a man [fully] understand his way?

25 

It is a trap for a man to [[a]speak a vow of consecration and] say rashly, “It is holy!”

And [not until] afterward consider [whether he can fulfill it].

26 

A wise king sifts out the wicked [from among the good]

And drives the [threshing] wheel over them [to separate the chaff from the grain].

27 

The [b]spirit (conscience) of man is the lamp of the Lord,

Searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being.

28 

Loyalty and mercy, truth and faithfulness, protect the king,

And he upholds his throne by lovingkindness.

29 

The glory of young men is their [physical] strength,

And the honor of aged men is their gray head [representing wisdom and experience].

30 

Blows that wound cleanse away evil,

And strokes reach to the innermost parts.

DAILY WISDOM WORDSPIRATION WITH PROVERBS CHAPTER 19

YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR HEALTH

The saying always comes before the seeing. How do you know a poor or rich man? Just pay attention to what they say. What God hear you say is what becomes your eventual reality. Numbers 14:28, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Your body and your spirit belong to God. It is wisdom to take care of your body. 

Your body is given to you for the fulfilment of your purpose.

You do not own your body. You are simply a steward and must keep it responsibly.

You need to know your body at an intinuitive level.

You are simply what you eat. Exodus 23:25 

You have to pay close attention to how your body operates. Man's body does not come from heaven, but from earth. It is therefore nourished by the things that come from the earth. Ecc 10:16-17 - This scripture did not nullify your eating breakfast. Lol

Stay close as possible to natural. Learn to eat things in moderation. Rest and sleep are absolutely essential. Mark 6:31

Not sleeping is proof that you are adding Gods work to yours. Learn to move your body - exercise. Exercise will strengthen your heart. Don't abuse your body. 1 Corinthians 6:18

If you must preserve your body, avoid sexual immorality. 1 Peter 3:10 NLT

Avoid speaking evil and telling lies. When something goes wrong with the tongue, it affects the rest of the body. Speak the truth and sincere words at all times. Ephesians 5:18 NLT

Avoid drugs and strong drinks. Do your annual physical examination.

Visit your doctor at least on an annual basis. 

Be safety conscious. Don't drive like one that has a spare life. 

Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:11 NLT 

Life is supplied by the Holy Spirit. Deut 34:7 MSG

"You shall not leave the earth before your time." Psalm 107:20

_"Whatever God has promised you, would come to pass at the set time. If He said it to you, He has already done it."

Proverbs 19

Amplified Bible

On Life and Conduct

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity

Than a [rich] man who is twisted in his speech and is a [shortsighted] fool.

2 

Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,

And he who hurries with his feet [acting impulsively and proceeding without caution or analyzing the consequences] sins (misses the mark).

3 

The foolishness of man undermines his way [ruining whatever he undertakes];

Then his heart is resentful and rages against the Lord [for, being a fool, he blames the Lord instead of himself].

4 

Wealth makes many friends,

But a poor man is separated from his friend.

5 

A false witness will not go unpunished,

And he who breathes out lies will not escape.

6 

Many will seek the favor of a generous and noble man,

And everyone is a friend to him who gives gifts.

7 

All the brothers of a poor man hate him;

How much more do his friends abandon him!

He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

8 

He who gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul;

He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.

9 

A false witness will not go unpunished,

And he who breathes lies will perish.

10 

Luxury is not fitting for a fool;

Much less for a slave to rule over princes.

11 

Good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger,

And it is his honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offense [without seeking revenge and harboring resentment].

12 

The king’s wrath terrifies like the roaring of a lion,

But his favor is as [refreshing and nourishing as] dew on the grass.

13 

A foolish (ungodly) son is destruction to his father,

And the contentions of a [quarrelsome] wife are like a constant dripping [of water].

14 

House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers,

But a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is [a gift and blessing] from the Lord.

15 

Laziness casts one into a deep sleep [unmindful of lost opportunity],

And the idle person will suffer hunger.

16 

He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,

But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.

17 

He who is gracious and lends a hand to the poor lends to the Lord,

And the Lord will repay him for his good deed.

18 

Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,

And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.

19 

A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control];

For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.

20 

Listen to counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction,

That you may be wise in the time to come.

21 

Many plans are in a man’s mind,

But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).

22 

That which is desirable in a man is his loyalty and unfailing love,

But it is better to be a poor man than a [wealthy] liar.

23 

The fear of the Lord leads to life,

So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

24 

The lazy man buries his hand in the [food] dish,

But will not even bring it to his mouth again.

25 

Strike a scoffer [for refusing to learn], and the naive may [be warned and] become prudent;

Reprimand one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, and he will gain knowledge and insight.

26 

He who assaults his father and chases away his mother

Is a son who brings shame and disgrace.

27 

Cease listening, my son, to instruction and discipline

And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 

A wicked and worthless witness mocks justice,

And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.

29 

Judgments are prepared for scoffers,

And beatings for the backs of [thickheaded] fools.

TODAY'S WORDSPIRATION

Words not mixed with faith cannot produce result.  

Result is not possible without a mixing with faith in the heart. 

Your best result is a function of faith, that is spiritual understanding. This is quick Understanding that comes by the Spirit. 

The best way to live out your potential is to live by faith.  

Hebrews 11:3 - 34, Hebrews 4:1-2

It takes believing in the invisible to create what has not yet appeared in the material world.  

Faith can create the things that has been said but not yet fearured in reality.  

Faith is the "butter" that holds together eternal ingredients for baking the future.  

It takes faith to pull the prophetic in your direction.  

Challenges are proof that you are taking steps.

With faith,  strength comes out of weakness. 

Mark 11:22 - 24 | Romans 12:3 Romans 10:17

Realize that you have a measure of faith already, and all you need is appropriate engagement. 

Anything you already have that you go about looking for,  you might loose.  

1 Corinthians 2:5 | Romans 1:16

Your faith must stand in the word of God and not in the experience of men. 

Your faith is either standing on the wisdom of man or in the wisdom and power of Christ.  

Until light dawns in your heart,  keep meditating on the word.  Acts 19:20

Word meditation is a way to grow your faith and make your way prosperous.  Joshua 1:8. 2 Corinthians 4:13 - 14

By the Spirit of faith,  you generate faith by speaking the word of God.  This is speaking from your spirit.  This is speaking from the fullness of the abundance of word of God loaded in your heart.  Luke 11:6, John 6:63 For more on todays Wordspiration and scripture reading for today, visit the link: 

Don't just speak to God, rather confront the mountains staring you at your face.  

Demons may see you and the Christ in you,  but would still remain, until you speak the word against them.  Jeremiah 15:6

The scriptures you consume in secret would always determine what you are able to declare subconsciously openly.

It takes steps of faith to kick start your faith. Any faith that does not produce action is fake.  

Wake up in the morning and declare your expectation for the day. The womb of the day requires a word from you to be impregnated with expectations that culminate in testimonies. Mark 11:21

There is no free lunch in life,  but you do not have to pay for everything.  You just have to faith in everything! Your faith would work for you. 

Have a wordspired day!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE READING

Proverbs 18

Amplified Bible

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

He who [willfully] separates himself [from God and man] seeks his own desire,

He quarrels against all sound wisdom.

2 

A [closed-minded] fool does not delight in understanding,

But only in revealing his personal opinions [unwittingly displaying his self-indulgence and his stupidity].

3 

When the wicked man comes [to the depth of evil], contempt [of all that is pure and good] also comes,

And with inner baseness (dishonor) comes outer shame (scorn).

4 

The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters [copious and difficult to fathom];

The fountain of [mature, godly] wisdom is like a bubbling stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].

5 

To show respect to the wicked person is not good,

Nor to push aside and deprive the righteous of justice.

6 

A fool’s lips bring contention and strife,

And his mouth invites a beating.

7 

A fool’s mouth is his ruin,

And his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 

The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];

They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].

9 

He who is careless in his work

Is a brother to him who destroys.

10 

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;

The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil].

11 

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination and conceit.

12 

Before disaster the heart of a man is haughty and filled with self-importance,

But humility comes before honor.

13 

He who answers before he hears [the facts]—

It is folly and shame to him.

14 

The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness,

But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?

15 

The mind of the prudent [always] acquires knowledge,

And the ear of the wise [always] seeks knowledge.

16 

A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him

And brings him before great men.

17 

The first one to plead his case seems right,

Until another comes and cross-examines him.

18 

[a]To cast lots puts an end to quarrels

And decides between powerful contenders.

19 

A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city,

And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle.

20 

A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.

21 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.

22 

He who finds a [[b]true and faithful] wife finds a good thing

And obtains favor and approval from the Lord.

23 

The poor man pleads,

But the rich man answers roughly.

24 

The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin,

But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.

DAILY WISDOM WORDSPIRATION WITH PROVERBS CHAPTER 17

TODAY'S WORDSPIRATION

Wisdom is the Spirit of insight and revelation.

Vision is catching a glimpse of what lies ahead while revelation powered by wisdom is what gives you access to the content.  

Academic intelligence thrives on information accessible by the five senses, but divine wisdom which triggers supernatural intelligence thrives on revelation.  

Vision is what you can see with the eyes of your spirit man while revelation is what you know in your spirit man.  Before scientists go on a research, men and woman operating divine wisdom already know the outcome.  

Isaiah  11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

Men and women of wisdom possess quick understanding powered by the fear of the Lord (Divine Emotional Intelligence). It is the fear of God that sponsors this kind of wisdom that determines the outcome of scientific researches.  

Men and women of God do not move just by reason of facts, but by truth. Walking by the truth is wisdom that does not judge after the sight of the eyes.  

May the wisdom of God search you out for a blessing today by this wordspiration in Jesus name.  Walking with divine wisdom is waking with revealed truth.  #Wordspiration #soulspiration

Proverbs 17

Amplified Bible

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

17 Better is a dry morsel [of food served] with quietness and peace

Than a house full of feasting [served] with strife and contention.

2 

A wise servant will rule over the [unworthy] son who acts shamefully and brings disgrace [to the family]

And [the worthy servant] will share in the inheritance among the brothers.

3 

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,

But the Lord tests hearts.

4 

An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips;

And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue.

5 

Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker,

And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.

6 

Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,

And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives].

7 

Excellent speech does not benefit a fool [who is spiritually blind],

Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.

8 

A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner;

Wherever he turns, he prospers.

9 

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love,

But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.

10 

A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit

Than a hundred lashes into a fool.

11 

A rebellious man seeks only evil;

Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 

Let a man meet a [ferocious] bear robbed of her cubs

Rather than the [angry, narcissistic] fool in his folly.

13 

Whoever returns evil for good,

Evil will not depart from his house.

14 

The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes];

Therefore [a]abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.

15 

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous

Are both repulsive to the Lord.

16 

Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,

When he has no common sense or even a heart for it?

17 

A friend loves at all times,

And a brother is born for adversity.

18 

A man lacking common sense gives a pledge

And becomes guarantor [for the debt of another] in the presence of his neighbor.

19 

He who loves transgression loves strife and is quarrelsome;

He who [proudly] raises his gate seeks destruction [because of his arrogant pride].

20 

He who has a crooked mind finds no good,

And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.

21 

He who becomes the parent of a fool [who is spiritually blind] does so to his sorrow,

And the father of a fool [who is spiritually blind] has no joy.

22 

A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing,

But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

23 

A wicked man receives a bribe from the [hidden] pocket

To pervert the ways of justice.

24 

[Skillful and godly] wisdom is in the presence of a person of understanding [and he recognizes it],

But the eyes of a [thickheaded] fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 

A foolish son is a grief and anguish to his father

And bitterness to her who gave birth to him.

26 

It is also not good to fine the righteous,

Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

27 

He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words,

And a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, an even temper).

28 

Even a [callous, arrogant] fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;

When he closes his lips he is regarded as sensible (prudent, discreet) and a man of understanding.
