Facts about life

.5 Important Facts Of Life You Need To Know.
Source: Proverb 3:1-10.

Introduction:
The secret of the Lord is with His people, thus revealing to those who diligently seek Him.

 Every good things needed for life has been packaged by God in the scripture for us as His children but, people tends to stray. According to the book of proverb, the basic things we need to do are listed and explained

1. Need Long Life (vs 1-2)Prov 4:10, Psm 119:116: "My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee"

"Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope"

         

Sin has stolen the good things in man, when God created man, he never wanted man to die, but sin stole away the life in man and replace it with death. So God now replace death with everlasting life in Christ Jesus, and God gave man his commandments, so as to have life and to close the gap between Himself and man. His word is life, the life is Christ Jesus. John 1:1-4. There is no life anywhere except in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the word, don't let him out of your mouth, then it shall be well with you.

2. Need God's Favour. (Prov3: 3-4) 2sam 2:26, Lk2:25: 

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

           This is a helpful act received from man especially from the superior. When one need a help from God, the Supreme being then all need do is to show mercy to others and be truthful in all things. All this are practical things, favour others and receive from God and man.

3. Need God's directives.(Prov 3:5-6) Psm 37:3,5, 1chr 28:9, Pro 16:3: 

       Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

     In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.      

    The greatest thing in life is to be directed by God, it is not as difficult as you think, just put all trust in the Lord and never try to proof smart. In gen 3:7, Adam and Eve realised that they were naked, because their eye were opened, they now sew for themselves from the fig leaves, but in vs 21, God realised that the highest thought of a man is foolishness, imagine how much time a leave could last before it dried up and torn away and they will return back to their nakedness, He(God) now make a cloth of skin which will last longer for them. So the highest level of your thought is foolishness, only God can order your step and lead you aright.

4. Need Good Health(Prov 3:7-8) Prov 4:22: 

    Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.        

  Good health they say is wealth, a healthy man is a wealthy man. Want to be healthy, don't proof to be wisest, seek knowledge about life and how to live healthy. 

5. Wanted to be Rich(Prov 3:9-10):

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

   So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

             We all seek wealth where there Is none. To become rich is not as hard as we think, just honour God with your substance and see God in action. A man plan in his heart not to pay 10% of his income as a tithe, that it is an insult to take 90% and give God 10%. He decided to take 10% and give God 90%. His blessing was so great to the extent of praying to God not to bless him again, but God said it can happen on one condition; "if you can break our deal, then I will stop blessing you. The only way to becoming rich is to give to God with a heart full of praise not with grumbling mind, and expect greater blessing in return.

Conclusion: The bible is our standard, it is a complete book of life, full of every secret and mystery of life, you can only unfold them by reading through, meditating in it, Psm 1:1-3 , Josh 1:8. Then you shall prosper. God bless you
