Memorize: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. Proverbs 23:21

Read: Proverbs 26:13-16

God reveals in Revelation 1:6 that if you are born again, you are a king with God. As such, you should be decked with your royal robe. But do you know that laziness strips the believer of this robe replacing it with rags? A king that is clothed in rags will be treated like a slave or mad fellow. How are you...

Memorize: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalms 37:4

Read: Psalms 37:3-7

When the lame man at the Beautiful gate saw Peter and John, he expected to get some money but he got what money could not buy - healing. This tells us that sometimes, God may not exactly give us our requests based on our limited expectations. Being the good God that He is, even when we are looking for fish, He wants to make...

Memorize: Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 2 Peter 3:14

Read: 1 Kings 19:19-21

Lazy people love to sleep. Proverbs 19:15 says slothfulness casts the slothful into deep sleep. As good as sleep is, it is bad to sleep when you should be working. If you find yourself given to much sleep, watch it, slothfulness might be creeping into your life. The slothful can...

Memorize: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24

Read: Matthew 6:22-24

God demands full commitment from all His children. If you say you are born again, then never stand in God's way. Some years ago, I was invited by the Anglican Church to preach on any topic I was led to speak on. I decided to speak on salvation, sa...

Memorize: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7

Read: Daniel 6:1-3

Wisdom is a priceless virtue that anyone who wants to succeed must have. In life, there are major and minor acquisitions. Wisdom falls into the class of majors. That is, even if you could not acquire anything at all, you must not miss out on wisdom. If you could sell all your earthly possessions in exchange for wisdom, it...

Memorize: The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Proverbs 10:24

Read: Acts 3:2-8

Whenever hopelessness is brought to the God of hope, it has no choice but to change form. Do you know that your dry bones shall live again? That ground that has refused to produce will surely produce. Has your womb been without a baby for so long? It is because it is selective of the child it wants to carry. A...

Memorize: He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hate. Proverbs 14:17

Read: Proverbs 14:17-18

Apart from pride, another work of the flesh you must exert your Christ-given victory over is anger. Pride and anger are related. It is those who feel superior to others that are easily irritated or take offence by what others have done to them. A messenger is not likely to be angry or mad at his boss if the latter insults him. But ...

Memorize: With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Psalms 119:10

Read: Proverbs 3:5-6

Our God never does things in half measures. When He saves, He does it completely. That is why Hebrews 7:24-25 says He saves to the uttermost. What of when He heals? He heals completely, which is why when He healed Naaman the leper, He gave him a brand new skin (2 Kings 5:1-14). When He delivers, it is also total hence John 8:36...

Memorize: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalms 91:11

Read: Psalms 91:10-13

When a child is born, what happens to the child depends on the available support system. Princes and princesses benefit from the servants of their father. The stronger the support system, the more fortified that child is for success in life. Within our Father's support system are angels. Psalms 91:10-13 says it is the duty of...
