Bible Reading: Proverbs 1: 20-22
Memory Verse: “Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15 (AMP)
Be blessed:
1. On sexual purity: Sex is not a valentine day gift. Don’t use your body to entertain the animal in anyone. You are too precious to be roasted.
2. On God’s plan: All of God’s plans have the mark of the Cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them. All of God’s plans have crucifixion to the world in them. But men’s plans either ignore the offense of the Cross or despise it – Edward Mckendree Bounds.
3. On daily fellowship with God: No Bible, no breakfast. Eat the WORD, before you hit your world daily.
4. On training: People think I was born this way. They don’t know what it took to get this way. The training, when you have to do things over and over again until you’re sore. Deep in your mind you say, ‘God, I don’t want to do this anymore.’ And then you push – Mike Tyson, former World Heavy Weight Champion
5. On making marital choice: It is better to wait on God to bring the right person than to wait on God to change the wrong person – Pastor Vlad.
6. On evangelism: If you’re not praying for souls you have no business preaching to them
7. On emotional relationship: Even though he knew God’s will, Adam listened to Eve instead of what God had told him. Never let your relationship be the reason you disobey God.
8. On process: You can’t glue wings on a caterpillar, and make it fly like a butterfly. It must grow from within, it takes time, it takes process. Be patient with God and yourself.
9. On winning: It’s not the will to win that matters, everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters – Paul Bryant
10. On spiritual sensitivity: Don’t be in a rush to marry just because you met him/her in Church. Church is like a hospital, not every patient is responding to treatment
11. On false prophets: Once you refuse to know God for yourself, you will likely buy anointing oil for $50 because you have to pay for your ignorance.
12. On becoming: We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become – St. Clare of Assisi
13. On prayer priority: The problem is we start our day on our cellphones, not on our knees. Repent! Put God first.
