The BOOK – Christ through Proverbs

The Proverbs are for Christian walk. Here you can find the duty towards God, to your neighbours, duty of parents and children and our obligations as citizens. When you come to Proverbs with a cleansed and surrendered heart and mind, you will get most out of the book.

The Author Solomon wrote more wisely than he lived. Solomon wrote 400 years before the seven wise men of Greece. The wise give heed to the commands of God and obey tem. The foolish ignore God’s will. This book divides people into 2 classes – wise and foolish.

Proverbs is divided into 3 sections:

·         Counsel for young men (Proverbs 1 – 10)

·         Counsel for all men (Proverbs 11 – 20)

·         Counsel for Kings and rulers (Proverbs 21 – 31)

The book closes with one of the most beautiful chapters in the word (Proverbs 31), a chapter on women’s rights. 

When you read the book of Proverbs, put Jesus Christ in place of “wisdom” in the verses, and you will see wonderful power in this book. (1 Corinthians 1:30). God wants to give us his wisdom – the wisdom that created heavens and earth, that we might use it all of life (James 1:5). Human wisdom can never solve life’s problems. Only God knows the ways of people. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10; Psalm 111:10).

Praying that you will walk with God and with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and by the wisdom and knowledge from the word of God, you will overcome all evil forces and live a testimonial life, Amen.
