Proverbs, Chapter 28

28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursues; But the righteous are bold as a lion.

28:2 For the transgression of a land many are its princes; But by [a] man of understanding [and] knowledge the state [of it] will be prolonged.

28:3 A needy [noble] man who oppresses the poor Is [like] a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

28:4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; But such as keep the law contend with them.

28:5 Evil men don't understand justice; But those who seek Yahweh understand all things.

28:6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, Than he who is perverse in [his] ways, though he is rich.

28:7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; But he who is a shepherd of gluttons shames his father.

28:8 He who augments his substance by interest and increase, Gathers it for him who has pity on the poor.

28:9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is disgusting.

28:10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, He will fall into his own pit; But the perfect will inherit good.

28:11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; But the poor who has understanding searches him out.

28:12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, man will hide.

28:13 He who covers his transgressions will not prosper: But whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

28:14 Happy is [the] man who fears always; But he who hardens his heart will fall into mischief.

28:15 [As] a roaring lion, and a ranging bear, [so is] a wicked ruler over a poor people.

28:16 The leader who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor; [but] he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

28:17 [A] man who is laden with the blood of any person Will flee to the pit; let no man uphold him.

28:18 Whoever walks uprightly will be delivered; But he who is perverse in [his] ways will fall at once.

28:19 He who tills his land will have plenty of bread; But he who follows after vanities will have poverty enough.

28:20 A faithful man will abound with blessings; But he who hurries to be rich will not be unpunished.

28:21 To show favoritism is not good; Neither that a [noble] man should transgress for a piece of bread.

28:22 He who has an evil eye hurries after riches, And does not know that want will come upon him.

28:23 He who rebukes man will afterward find more favor Than he who flatters with the tongue.

28:24 Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression, The same is the partner of a destroyer.

28:25 He who is of a greedy spirit stirs up strife; But he who puts his trust in Yahweh will be made fat.

28:26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool; But whoever walks wisely, he will be delivered.

28:27 He who gives to the poor will not lack; But he who hides his eyes will have many a curse.

28:28 When the wicked rise, man hides himself; But when they perish, the righteous increase.

If we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another. And the Blood of Jesus purify us from all sin I John 1.7 Let us all follow this wonderful advise. Walking in the light and being a light ourselves to others so they too will be able to see Jesus in all our actions and all our speech. Let us all have fellowship with God in prayer and suplication for all our needs to be met and for our pastors and Sunday school teachers to be an effective servants of the living God. The precious blood of Jesus will purify our hearts and souls if we just do all of this things. He who is of greedy spirit stirs up strife. Prov 28.25 Let us all have a kind and loving spirit given by the lord Jesus Christ and no one will complain about our character molded by Jesus Christ.

 

[Stephan]

 God is telling you today. My grace is suficient for you. For my power if made perfect in weakness. 2 Cor. 12.9  If you feel that you cannot do anything at all and the devil is telling you useless, good for nothing.  Do not believe. God did not make loosers out of any of us.  We are His dear children and we are to tell the gospel to millions around the world. To pray for them and to give offerings of praise and honor to God alone. Do not bow down to idols that do not breath nor talk nor hear anything.  Bring oferings of praise and honor to God alone. The wicked flee wnen no one pursues him.  Prov. 28.1  We see the scammers, the thieves and liers fleeing and no one is chasing them. Let us all pray for the souls of all the wicked, the sinners, the thieves, the impersonators and those who hate others.  Dear God save their souls please, Make them a true Christians who love you with their whole heart. We pray in Your name. Amen

Gratitude keeps the devil so far from us because we have developed a desire to serve God and be grateful for all He has done for us. If you are ungreateful and angry at everyone then Satan is all around you and please start praying and calling on Jesus to deliver you from the torments from hell that is making people do strange things.  Precious Lord, Save us from the torments of hell and give us the peace and the joy that we desire.  All the gifts of the Holy Spirit we desire in our heart. Proverbs 28.20a A fatithful man will abound wtih blessings.  We just thank you lord Jesus for the blessings that you have sent out way. Never has your unfailing love failed us. We are most grateful for Jesus diying on the cross for our sins. Please God, save all the landlords and thieir tenants.  Let them start prayer meetings and bible study on the premises so a lot of people will get saved. In Jesus name. Amen.

 

[Hildah]

Happy Thanksgiving to all prayer warriors and those who are closer to Jesus heart. We bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus for giving us wonderful blessings at church, at home and wherever we go we find wonderful people of God and we are just so thankful to God for our pastor and the music department, the Sunday school teachers and all the counselors.  The deacons are such a wonderful people that I pray to God the He will bless them too.  He who gives to the poor will not lack. Prov. 28.27a  I love this verse too because it tells me to give to the poor specially on Thanksgiving we should open our hearts and our wallets and give food to the poor. Volunteer the local homeless shelter and help feed the hungry. God will bless you abundantly. You certainly will lack nothing at all.

 

[Grossing]

Holy God, we praise thy name. Lord of all we bow before Thee, All on earth thy scepter claim All in heaven above adore Thee. Infinite Thy vast domain. Everlasting is Thy reign.  Thank you God for all the blessing you have given us. We have a family who you have given us. Some are unsaved and some are saved. Please Jesus reach your hand to to them and save them so we can see them in heaven when we depart from earth to glory. Proverbs 28.10b  But the perfect will inherit good.  May our lives be pleasing to You and our service will be to glorify your name. Amen

 

[Kayla]

When peace like a river attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll. Whatever my lot you have taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul.  If Jesus is in your heart and you are praying and asking God for help then He will hear you from heaven. He attends our ways and he wants to help each one of us. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity.  Yes Lord. We want to walk in your ways always. Amen

 

[Conroy]

Fairest Lord Jesus. Ruler of all nature. Oh Thou of God man and son.  Thee will I cherish. Thee will I honor. Thou my souls glory joy and crown.   We bow down and worship You lord Jesus.  You give us meaning in this life.  Without You we cannot live or exist. We are heaven bound and we must get ready to see you coming in the clouds to take us home to glory.  Blessed be your holy name.  Proverbs 28.5a   Evil man do not understand justice.  Let us all pray for all sinners to come to Jesus.  Let us all bow down before our God and worship Him in the beauty of His holiness.

ooh Lord of mercy, have mercy upon us all

 

[Ursula]

Hope in God because He will rescue you from the torments of hell and from anything the devil wants to set it up along your way. If you loose everything in this world, God will rescue you just like He did to Job after loosing his flocks, all his children and his wife was nagging him. Job trusted in God with His whole heart. Proverbs 28.13a He who covers his transgressions will not prosper. If Job did not confess His sins and prayed daily He would not have been reconciled with God. But He was so close to the heart of God and He did bless him after he was tested to the limit.

 

[deborah]

The Lord will fight for you.  You need to be still.  Exodus 14.14   God is our protector and we believe in Him for healing our brother Carman.  He has cáncer and is terminally ill.   He was suposed to be on the road singing for Jesús but the devil is on the way and has brought illness upon him.  Let us all pray that Jesús will heal him just as He did the ten lepers. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory.  Prov. 28.12a   Yes, we have victory through Jesús  Christ our lord and savior.  Bless His holy name today and forever . Amen
