Raynette K. Weiss Ministries run by Rev. Raynette K. Weiss and Assistant Minister Jessie K. Weiss invite you to this bible lesson for the book of proverbs chapter 24 to 29 for Tuesday, October 11, 2022.

The Bible – Proverbs 25

1

These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

2

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

3

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

4

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

5

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

6

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

7

For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

8

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

9

Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

10

Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

11

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

12

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

13

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

14

Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

15

By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

16

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

17

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

18

A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

20

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

21

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: Rom 12:20

22

For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. Rom 12:20

23

The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

24

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

25

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26

A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

27

It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

28

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Summary; The sayings kick off with a description of the way kings are supposed to rule. God hides things, but kings are meant to ferret them out—reveal rather than conceal. Kings have deep and unsearchable minds, and you’d best avoid getting demoted by them or by other nobles.

Closing prayer; Heavenly Father, we pray, I pray for self-control in my own life. we pray for walls that guard us against all the adversary’s attempts to pull us away from you, to pull us away from our loved ones, children, from the work that you have called us to, from the way that you have called us to live. And God, we pray for this for every single person who is listening to this right now, we pray for their self-control. We praise you. This is the fruit of your spirit, is self-control. In jesus name we pray, Amen.

those who wish to become a child of our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.

Heavenly Father: I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
