*It is still His Final Instructions*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."* Luke 24:46-47 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
As the year runs out, businesses and individuals are forced to check their records and reports to see how they have fared in the year. It is not just a custom. It is a practice rooted in wisdom. When this is done properly, you get the
benefit of hindsight, insight and foresight of how to run the succeeding year better.
In like manner, at the close of his ministry on earth as a man, Jesus gave a final instruction that summed up the essence of His work on earth.
These instructions when carried out give meaning to the purpose of the birth, suffering, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
As we close the year, take a critical look at this all important instruction- "that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations". How much of it have you carried out this year?
_MEDITATION:_
*IF the great commission means so much to the Lord, then it must mean so much to you as well. Otherwise, what kind of a Jesus follower are you?*

*FLOURISH -- IT IS A NEW MONTH*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish."* Proverbs 14:11 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
FLOURISH-- it is a new month!
Flourish-- as you take stocks of God's goodness over the past months!
Flourish-- as you bring to mind all the turns and twists that nearly did you in but God made a way of escape!
Flourish -- as you remember how good God has been to your loved ones; at least no calls for emergency family contribution for a SOS call from or for a loved one or family member!
Flourish-- as you remember the many times God has forgiven all your sins and stubborness.
Flourish-- as we enter the beginning of the ending of the year, promising the beginning of a new year!
Flourish-- as you make a commitment to reciprocate God's faithfulness by standing in obedience to His word.
_MEDITATION:_
*You shall flourish in the new month and the end of the year in Jesus name. Amen*

*Protecting Your Heart*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy."* Proverbs 14:10 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
It is your duty to protect your heart. You must understand what breaks your heart and what gives you peace.
Don't keep your struggles to yourself. Share it with people that can help make it easier to cope or deal with. Just because it is you that know what you're struggling with does not mean you can't share with those who maybe able to help or at least lend a listening ear.
Don't keep your emotions too bottled up to the point that you become bitter and lonely.
Share your struggles but also share your joy with those that you can count on to keep it safe.
The heart is designed to share so that it can be in a better shape.
_MEDITATION:_
*What struggles have you been dealing with in the year so far? How did you handle them?*

*Don't Make Light of What God Hates*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour."* Proverbs 14:9 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Those who take pleasure in those who delight in sin and evil, are not different from those who actually commit evil. They are one and the same. God does not take lightly of anything sinful.
Think of sin. It was sin that sent Jesus coming down to suffer and free us from its evil clutches. Now imagine having fun over sinful conducts? Is that not evil and wicked?
How can we make light of what God sent Jesus to die because of?
How can we take pleasure making jokes over what cost Jesus' death and pains?
_MEDITATION:_
*When next you are tempted to laugh over evil, remember Jesus had to die for it!*

*To Gain Understanding*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit."* Proverbs 14:8 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
And God said to Solomon, "Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king..."
But God did not stop there. He said...
"Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like."
Whenever you seek wisdom and understanding, you gain even much more, including riches, wealth and honour.
Prudent people cultivate a passionate desire to gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding. They are not looking for ways to cut corners or ways to deceitfully gain the things they need/want.
Prudence desires to acquire the knowledge and understanding of the rudiments, the principles, the ways things work and should work, that they may apply it.
_MEDITATION:_
*Become more prudent. Seek to understand and know how things work out. Be knowledge driven!*

*Be Knowledge Driven*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge."* Proverbs 14:7 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Be sensitive to positive knowledge! Go where there is positive value adding knowledge. Leave where there is little or no knowledge.
Knowledge gives you knowing edge. Don't waste precious time listening go stuffs, people or social media contents that only get you laughing & talking without actually adding a 'knowing edge' to your life.
Be so knowledge driven that it affects how you spend your time; what you read & when you read; who you relate with & how you relate with people; who you keep as friends; where & how you worship, etc.
_MEDITATION:_
*Knowledge applied gives you a knowing edge in life!*

*A Scorner*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.* Proverbs 14:6 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
He asked scornfully, even if God will make windows in the heavens, how will the economy change overnight? How can the cost of living come down?
His scornful disposition and unbelief, deprived him of the blessings even when the changes finally occurred.
A scornful mind has the following characteristics:
1. *Disdainful attitude*
2. *Critical and judgmental*
3. *Lack of empathy*
4. *Sarcastic and mocking*
5. *Resistant to feedback*
6. *Tendency to generalize*
7. *Inclination to blame*
8. *Narrow and inflexible thinking*
9. *Emotional reactivity*
10. *Difficulty in forming healthy relationships*
Keep in mind that everyone can exhibit scornful tendencies at times, but a scornful mind is characterized by a pervasive and consistent pattern of behavior.
_MEDITATION:_
*Scorners lack wisdom and struggle to gain fresh insights. Examine yourself and be intentional about not sliding into a scornful mindset!*

*Dirty Boots; Distance Covered*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox."* Proverbs 14:4 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Thomas Edison is quoted to have said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Life is exactly like that. Winners are just those who have failed severally but refused to stop. If you want no scars, no failures, no pains, no sweats, no frustrations, and no challenges, just don't try anything. Just don't take up anything worthwhile. Have no real goals. Have no real targets. Just wander around aimlessly.
But once you decide to pursue anything worthwhile, be ready to suffer roadblocks, challenges, pains, sweats etc.
The good thing is, inside that pain, lies some gain; inside the sweat, you find sweet achievements too.
If you want a constantly neat kitchen that never harbours any dirts at all, all day long, don't do any cooking at all. Don't even enter. But even then, you will have dusts and cobwebs to deal with after some days.
So you see, the rule of life is, the more the pains, the more the gains!

*Pride & Foolish Talking*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them."* Proverbs 14:3 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Nabal's foolish response to David's men, eventually led to his early grave.
If you won't help, you can as well politely refuse to help. Instead, when asked for a favor, Nabal retorted,
*"David? Who is he? I've never heard of him! The country is full of runaway slaves nowadays!
I'm not going to take my bread and water, and the animals I have butchered for my sheepshearers, and give them to people who come from I don't know where!"*
That was not a decline to help, that was an insult & a go-to-hell tell off.
He thought he was wise & having fun but he didn't know his foolish pride had sealed his destruction. His wife, Abigail tried to save him but it was too late. David forgave him but God had already judged him.
_MEDITATION:_
*God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble!* Always remember that!

*THE WISE WOMAN THAT BUILDS*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands."* Proverbs 14:1 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Abigail was the backbone of her husband's wealth. Her wisdom and diligence made her husband who he was, not withstanding his foolishness until David came into the picture.
A man looked at his wife's ex who was relatively not as well placed in life and said to his wife:
"If not for me, you won't be the wife of a president."
The wife smiled and looked at him and said,
"If not for me, you won't become a president."
Underestimate the power of a woman at your own peril. Marry a foolish wife, and your life will tell the story without words. Marry a wise wife, and your life will be the piece of evidence without stories.
As a woman, strive to be the backbone of your husband, the dependable neck to his head, and the winds beneath his wings.
As a man, don't ever compete with your wife, give her room to play her role in your life.
The greatest challenge is how to discover the wife that is wise that builds. But the first way to start is to be wise yourself.
_MEDITATION:_
*It takes a wise man to discover a wise woman!*
