‘O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hart though made them all; the earth is full of thy riches’. Psalm 104:24 I like the Contemporary English Version of this scripture; ‘Our Lord, by your wisdom you made so many things …’ God wants to give you a portion of the wisdom by which He has made all things. As you spend time with Him daily, reach out for the divine wisdom from God on all life’s issues. Reach Out for it. Make the most of your time in God’s presence.......

 ‘An idea well expressed is like a design of Gold set in Silver’ Proverbs 25:11 GNB ‘A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver’ Proverbs 25:11 For you to get to the point where your ideas are well coordinated, you must have thought about them over and over again. The business idea that God gives you must not be rushed into the market place; you need to think through them until you arrive at a way of expression; so fitting that it is like apples of gold......

‘…It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable’ Proverbs 25:1-3 Verse 1 indicated that these are some of the proverbs of Solomon copied out by the men of King Hezekiah of Judah. Every leader needs to give attention to them. 1Kings 4:34 says ‘And there came of all people to hear the Wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had......

 ‘A person’s thoughts are like water in deep well but someone with insight can draw them out’ Proverbs 20:5 GNB Diligence at work is more than working harder, it involves working smarter. Diligently thinking through on different issues will lead to smart working. It takes someone with insight to draw out counsel from great depths to the surface. Consider ‘water in a deep well’ – it is not contaminated but pure; however it takes time to get to it. Take your time and reach to attain counsel through your regenerated mind; do......

‘Through desire a man, having separated himself seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom’ Proverbs 18:1 Your success in life is not determined by how much labour you exert on your activities; but it is first determined by the amount of time you spend with God on a regular basis. You need to separate yourself from time to time, and seek the God of all wisdom. The scripture says ‘you will intermingle with all wisdom’. Notice that it takes personal desire; you have to purposely set that appointment with God and keep it.......

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want….’ The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour’. Proverbs 21: 5, 25  The desire of the slothful kills him because his hands refuse to labor! You might have two people, both with desires and good ideas, very genuine proposals; the two of them might end up at different points. Imagine that one of them invests time to diligently implement his/her ideas or thoughts while the other does not.......

 ‘The sluggard will not plough by reason of the cold therefore shall he beg in harvest and have nothing’ Proverbs  20:4 When it is cold, it is naturally understandable for a farmer to keep indoors; however the Bible says here that anybody who does not plough because of the cold is a lazy person. I think what God is saying is ‘don’t give excuses for your laziness based on even obvious reasons’. When you are someone that always finds excuses to give for your inability to accomplish a task, it may look......

 ‘A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men’. Proverbs 18:16 NKJV Make the most of the opportunity coming your way today; it will lead you to your promotion. Determine that you will work hard on your gifts. It is when your gifting is tapped to the maximum that you will experience elevation and publicity where it matters. You might have gifts, but when the opportunity comes for you to exercise your gifting and you are lazy, it is a disadvantage. So, be on the watch, seize your......

 ‘He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster’ Proverbs 18:9 Many people have lost opportunities before and they regret it. But instead of regret, we only need to make a decision to change and never waste opportunities again – do not live in the regret and loss. However, slothfulness or laziness will lead to a wasted opportunity; time lost can never be regained. So whether you are self-employed or an employee in a company, make up your mind not to be slothful. As......
