I CHOSE PROVERBS

I chose Proverbs, because it applies to many of our daily lives. The word proverb comes from the Hebrew word that means, “to rule or govern.” Solomon was a son to King David, Kings of Israel. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, left us a legacy of written wisdom in three volumes: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. In these books, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he gives practical insights and guidelines for life. I encourage all Christians to read Proverbs and understand that knowing God is the key to wisdom. Read and understand the thoughts and lessons from the world’s wisest man, so you will be able to apply these truths to your life. Amen!!! When we choose God’s way, he will grant us wisdom and knowledge, so we can live in a Godly way and make the correct decisions for ourselves.
(NLT) Prov. 1: 7 Fear of the Lord is the knowledge; only fools despise wisdom and discipline. In other words, when you fear God, that will be your salvation and if you don’t fear God that will be your damnation. Surely brothers and sisters in Christ, we don’t want damnation. Don’t you agree with me? If you agree with me say, Amen!!!
(NLT) Prov. 2:20,21,22 Follow the steps of good men instead, and stay on the paths of the righteous. 21 For only the upright will live in the land, and those who have integrity will remain in it. 22 But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be destroyed.
Do not co-sign a loan. (NLT) Prov. 6:1-5 1 1 My child,* if you have put up security for a friend's debt
or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—
2 if you have trapped yourself by your agreement
and are caught by what you said—
3 follow my advice and save yourself,
for you have placed yourself at your friend's mercy.
Now swallow your pride;
go and beg to have your name erased.
4 Don't put it off; do it now!
Don't rest until you do.
5 Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,
like a bird fleeing from a net.

THINGS GOD HATES:
Remember, in the Internet Church Topics I have written the topic called “We should always be grateful to God”. The numbers of 3, 7 and 12, I called them the biblical numbers; although, it is my own belief. These numbers mean something, don’t you all agree with me? Now, let us get back to the word. Amen!!!
There are six things the Lord hates; no, seven things he detests:
(NLT) Prov. 6:17,18,19
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord among brothers.
As I mentioned earlier, read in Proverbs, there are many good guidelines for all of us to follow in our daily lives. There are many good scriptures written in the bible; however, Proverbs really tells us how to become good Christians, in a Godly way. Amen!!!

I pray that these messages are very informative to you.
