Text: ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:15‭-‬18‬ ‭

[15] Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. [16] She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. [17] She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. [18] Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly. Proverbs 3:15-18. NLT

Greetings people of God. Before we pray, let me share briefly with you, things that I discovered in Proverbs chapter 3 that will help you enjoy a long, healthy and prosperous life.

1. Keep God’s Word in your heart.
2. Be merciful, truthful,  kind, faithful and loyal.
3. Trust God from the bottom of your heart and don’t rely on your own intelligence or try to figure it all out on your own.
4. Ask God before you do anything and he will show you the right way. 
5. Learn to simply obey God and refuse to do wrong and your body will be healthy. Vs7-8.
6. Honor God with your wealth or with whatever you have and you will always have more than enough.  Vs -10
7. Pay close attention to God’s correction and take it as a warning ⚠️. Vs. 11,12
8. Hold onto Christ for He is the power and Wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:18-2:16). Vs 13-26.
9. Keep doing good- vs 26-28
10. Don’t plan or do evil against anyone, especially your neighbors-29
11. Don’t fight unnecessary battles-vs 30

12. Don’t be violent – God hates it and violent people are cursed already by God- 31-33
13. Be humble-vs 34-35

The list is by no means exhaustive, but it gives you clear details about how to live if you plan on living a healthy, long and prosperous life.

Let us Pray:

Might God, thank you for the words we just read which has 

illuminated our hearts 💕. 

We acknowledge that we have not lived right, and thus deserve all that’s going wrong with us.

However,  we are grateful that you are able to forgive our sins and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.

We declare that going forward, and by Your abundant and boundless mercy, we will be led by the Holy Spirit to live in obedience to Your perfect will. 

We declare that in this new year, though we are in the world, we will live above the world by showcasing Godliness in all aspects of life. 

We command all the diseases,  sicknesses, adverse conditions and other evils that gained access into our lifeline, to dissipate right away. For this cause Christ manifested, to destroy the works of the devil.

We affirm we have been set free from the forces of evil functioning in this world,  for we live by the righteous standards of God, and cannot partake of the unfruitful works of darkness.

We affirm that from today, everything that has breath in us will adhere strictly to God’s Word, to live by it and God’s Word will continually gain ascendancy in us and do what it says in our lives, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior. Dec 4th 2024.
