(Day 21 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 ):
The difference between non-believers and believers is that non-believers are haunted by the sins they have committed, whereas believers have a clear conscience -
they have the assurance that they’re forgiven of all their sins.
“The wicked flee when no one pursues them, But the righteous are as bold as a lion.” (PROVERBS 28:1 AMP)
Business leadership principles. If you’re a business leader or any kind of leader for that matter, prioritize getting God’s wisdom.
It will ensure the stability and sustainability of your team/organization/business/family/unit.
Treat your people right with love and respect.
“When a land does wrong, it has many princes, But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.
A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding and common sense [and his wickedness shortens his days], But he who hates unjust gain will [be blessed and] prolong his days.” (PROVERBS 28:2, 16 AMP)
Believers who are generous to the poor are very blessed. They will be wealthy and never suffer lack.
“He who increases his wealth by interest and usury (excessive interest) Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor.
He who gives to the poor will never want, But he who shuts his eyes [from their need] will have many curses.” (PROVERBS 28:8, 27 AMP)
In today’s context under grace, confessing of sins and repentance here is a one-time event in a person’s life, referring to the action of receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior.
When you become a believer, you will find God’s grace for you and you will prosper because of it.
“He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But whoever confesses and turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy.” (PROVERBS 28:13 AMP)
A murderer will always, until death, be trying to escape the guilt he or she feels for killing a person.
Some may temporarily escape punishment by human law, but they will suffer the burden of guilt for life.
“A man who is burdened with the guilt of human blood (murder) Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him or give him refuge.” (PROVERBS 28:17 AMP)
Prayerfully seeking new ways to improve your own skills or business and don’t become close-minded to trying new God-inspired ideas.
Patience is key: Your abundance will come step by step, as led by the Lord.
The first step is to have right believing. When your beliefs align with God’s word, that’s when you will start abounding with blessings!
“He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows worthless people and frivolous pursuits will have plenty of poverty. A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.
He who has an evil and envious eye hurries to be rich And does not know that poverty will come upon him.” (PROVERBS 28:19-20, 22 AMP)
Showing favoritism in any situation between any people is not wise.
It stirs up wickedness within the flesh of the person being unfairly treated, and may become a danger to you.
“To have regard for one person over another and to show favoritism is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.” (PROVERBS 28:21 AMP)
