Proverbs 22

(S)
Key Verses that jumped at me
Proverbs 22:4 TPT
Laying your life down in tender surrender before the Lord
will bring life, prosperity, and honor as your reward.

What spoke to me in the verses
Some people may find surrendering to the Lord challenging at times... like there are certain areas where we find it really easy to trust the Lord in and there are some areas where we might wonder if we haven't seen God moved if we can still trust Him... And honestly I do question myself at times if there are areas that I do struggle to surrender to the Lord and trust Him in. But this verse reminded me of something else - of the one who laid His life down for me, the one who surrendered His life so that He can redeem me and truly have me as His own and as His righteous beloved! And this blow me off! And when He ask for us to lay down our life to Him, to surrender to Him because He not only wants to carry us through, He wants to bless us with life, prosperity, and honor! And this verse reminds me of the NCC song: All of You. Because the Lord gave us all of Him, we can give Him all of us!

Key Verses that jumped at me
Pro 22:1
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold.

What spoke to me in the verses
This verse came to me in a way, which reminded me of this verse 2 Cor 20:14 (Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.) that was shared by Dn Charlie in the famine workshop yesterday.

From Hebrew, the following names have the following meaning:
Jahaziel - beheld by God
Zechariah - the Lord has remembered
Benaiah - Yahweh builds up
Jeiel - God sweeps away (all your enemies)
Mattaniah - gift of Jehovah
Asaph - gather together

This formed up with this message, saying that Jehovah remembers us, build us up, sweep away all our enemies, and the Lord bless us including gifts, that will allow us to divide the spoil (by activating the power imparted to us by the Lord, and to bless others) By letting the Spirit lead us, we will fully tap into the gifts from the Lord that will bless us abundantly that will go on to bless others as well. Amen!

Proverbs 14

(S) Proverbs 14:30 NKJV A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones. A sound heart. Is the key to the body. No wonder it says in Proverbs 4:23 to guard our hearts above all else. Don't you just love how the Lord keeps things simple and straightforward for us? He doesn't give us 101 things to do and be reminded of, He always reminds us of the one thing that is needful. And the hebrew word for "sound" is רָפָא (rapha), which means healed and whole. As our hearts believe that we are healed and whole, by the finished work of Christ, out of it shall flow life and health to our bodies. Proverbs 4:22-23 (NLT) for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. And if we read the verse that comes before verse 22, the Lord reminds us to pay attention to what He says (the Word of God). He wants us to go back to the word and as He has d...

Proverbs 16

Pro 16:7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. What this verse spoke to me is that when we place all trust in the Lord, and be constantly conscious of the Lord's love for us, His grace surely superabounds in us. And God sees us righteous today, becos of the precious and divine exchange between us and Lord Jesus. I was watching the mid-week sermon by Ps Prince earlier on, and Pastor talked about Jesus was at the cross where darkness covered the earth. And this is so that we could walk today and in the future, to be in the shining light of the world. And all favours of God and His blessings will be upon us, the head of righteous (Pro 10:6)! Praise Jesus! Another verse that spoke to me is v9 which says a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. This shows us that every way that we take, the Lord are always ahead of us, for He goes right before us, protecting us and deliver us from every evils and to provide us...

Proverbs 10

(S) For today's proverbs, I wanted to pick out the promises for the righteous ones and claim it in Jesus name! 🙌🏻 🔸 righteousness delivers from death (v1) - the Lord delivered us from death 🔸The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish (v2) - the Lord will not let us go hungry, it is His heart desires to feed us and provide for us, just like how He went to the woman at the well and after ministering to her, He told the disciples, He has food that they do not know of. When we allow the Lord to feed us, He is satisfied... 🔸 Blessings are on the head of the righteous (v5) - the Lord has crown us with blessings, in exchange of the crown of thorns that He bear for us to take away the curse so we can receive blessings upon blessings, grace upon grace! 🔸The memory of the righteous is blessed (v7) - we have the mind of Christ, and even our memory is blessed! 🔸The mouth of the righteous is a well of life (v11) The tongue of the righteous is choice silver (v20) The ...
