Proverbs 25

(W)
Key Verses that jumped at me
Pro 25:22
22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,
And the LORD will reward you.

What spoke to me in the verses
The first verse 22 spoke to me and reminding me of the redemption of Peter delivered by the Lord through the heap coals of fire. The first time Peter stood before coals of fire is in verse John 18:18 where he was alone, after failing the Lord. The 2nd time he stood before the coals of fire is in John 21:9 where he was with the Lord. And there the Lord restored Peter in front of His disciples. This reminded me once again of the goodness of God will lead us to repentance. And in the case of the woman who was accused of adultery, and after all pharisees left, the Lord gave her the gift of no condemnation that she will sin no more. For she was under grace. And this was exactly the message preached today by Ps Prince, where for we are under grace, we will sin no more. Like in Romans 8:17, where it says with gift of abundance of grace and gift of righteousness that one will reign in life through Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for His abundance of grace and gift of righteousness to us!

Key Verses that jumped at me
Proverbs 25:4 TPT
If you burn away the impurities from silver,
a sterling vessel will emerge from the fire.


What spoke to me in the verses
I remember Pastor preached before that you can put gold into fire to test the purity of the gold. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with the gold, it means there is authenticity to be tested. And so when I saw this verse, it reminded me that the Lord removed the impurities from the silver (because silver means redemption) at the Cross, and went through the fire of sin and judgement, so that a "sterling vessel" can be birth forth. So that we can be called a New Creation! And if we look at 2 Corinthians 4:7-12, it says:

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you.

WOW! Isn't it amazing that the Lord removed the impurities with His own body so that we can have the life of Jesus manifested in our body? So as we are reminded that we are the sterling vessels bought with the blood of Jesus, we will see Him working for us, through us and in us!

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 ...
