(Day 23 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):
Meaning of the name “Agur”: Collector/ Gatherer/ Assembler.
Meaning of the name “Jakeh”: Pious.
Meaning of the name “Ithiel”: God is with me.
Meaning of the name “Ucal”: To be able/ To have power.
Put the four names together and you get the understanding of why the Holy Spirit included their names in Proverbs 30:
The Pious Collector is writing these words of wisdom for us so that in studying these, God will be with us to enable us and give us His power.
Only God the Father has done this together with Jesus.
God the Father descended to earth on Mount Sinai when the Ten Commandments were given.
He created the world.
His Son’s name is Jesus.
“Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name? Certainly you know!” (PROVERBS 30:4 AMP)
God’s word is reliable and you can trust in His promises. When you do, He will protect you.
“Every word of God is tested and refined [like silver]; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him.” (PROVERBS 30:5 AMP)
These two things are essential for letting God’s power flow unconstricted in our lives:
1) Don’t lie, and avoid associating with liars.
2) Focus on Jesus and not on material wealth - He will definitely supply you with the provision that you need.
“Two things I have asked of You; Do not deny them to me before I die: Keep deception and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, So that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or that I will not be poor and steal, And so profane the name of my God.” (PROVERBS 30:7-9 AMP)
This sounds like the current state of society.
What strikes me most is that they are pure in their own eyes, but they are actually not washed from their sins.
This generation needs to know Jesus. He is the only way to true purity.
“There is a generation (class of people) that curses its father And does not bless its mother. There is a generation (class of people) that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness. There is a generation (class of people)--oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are raised in arrogance. There is a generation (class of people) whose teeth are like swords And whose jaw teeth are like knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth And the needy from among men.” (PROVERBS 30:11-14 AMP)
This is the fate of unbelievers: The worms/leeches and the unquenchable fire in the lake of fire are never satisfied and will never say “it is enough”.
They will just torture those who died in their sins for eternity - what a tragic fate!
“The leech has two daughters, “Give, give!” There are three things that are never satisfied, Four that do not say, “It is enough”: Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, “It is enough.”” (PROVERBS 30:15-16 AMP)
The Law is a servant whereas Jesus is the son. When believers exalt the Law above Grace (Jesus), the earth quakes for it knows the truth that the balance is upset.
A fool is destined for poverty. Only the wise will receive true and lasting riches.
“Unloved woman” is ”hateful woman” in NKJV.
When a woman is still un-virtuous, she is not ready to be a wife. She needs to learn the qualities of a virtuous wife in Proverbs 31.
Hagar (Sarah’s maidservant) and Sarah (Abraham’s wife) represent Law and Grace respectively.
When believers treat the Law as better and above Grace, that’s when tragedy happens to them.
“Under three things the earth is disquieted and quakes, And under four it cannot bear up: Under a servant when he reigns, Under a [spiritually blind] fool when he is filled with food, Under an unloved woman when she gets married, And under a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.” (PROVERBS 30:21-23 AMP)
If you have done this, then put a stop to it immediately because there is no escaping the consequence of letting your anger get the better of you.
Anger itself is not sin, but it is a powerful emotion that can drive you to commit sin.
To let God’s power flow unconstricted in your life, you need to meditate on God’s word and listen to Jesus-centered sermons.
That way you will become a wise person with a calm spirit and true self-control.
“If you have foolishly exalted yourself, Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth. Surely the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.” (PROVERBS 30:32-33 AMP)
