Talked about wisdom and being able to discuss your testimony with
other people. Wisdom is making the right decision at the right time.
Less of our life apologizing but more time glorifying.
We need to talk victoriously- we should be saying that I can do all
things through Christ that strengthen me. Proverbs 22:17-18 Bow
down thou ear. What have you done in your life in the last few
weeks to do this in your life- to make sure that you are bowing
down your ear? Have you been reading your word and been
receiving encouragement from others so that you can be more.
1 Peter 3:15 You got to be ready to give an answer with
meekness and fear
Matthew 13:54-58 How many of you are offended by people next
to you in your congregation who might try to tell you something in
God? Since people know people they will sometimes not listen to
people that they know.
When is the last time that someone got on your nerves because
they were trying to get you to do less in Christ? Most people get
mad because they are being encouraged to do more. You are not
going to be anymore saved listening to a stranger than your friend.
How do you bow down your ear- you got to take pride out? The
Lord is trying to keep you safe. People that are talking to you may
be trying to keep you safe. Some people like to stay closer to the
edge instead of staying safer. You want to be wise – hang around
wise people. Christians will ask if things are safer. You have to be
willing to listen instead of talking. You need to be ready to receive
the word. Focus on 1 Peter 3:15 for this week.
