A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. John 6:68
The Greek word for Lord is Kurios; for supreme in authority and Master. Peter knew only the Lord Jesus Christ can give us eternal life. This world is passing away and the lust thereof, but whosoever will do the will of God shall abide forever. People are searching for eternal life in this world and seeking after money and fame. All of these things are passing away. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Turn away from evil and speak the truth to your neighbor. Peter knows about how failure to speak the truth will chastise you. Jesus told Peter that Satan had demanded permission to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith will fail not, and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren. That is what Peter did by calling us to live a holy and godly life. 2 Peter 1;3,4 According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. When we submit to God and resist the devil he will flee from us. Then we can use the virtues that God has given us to overcome lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. So praise God for this truth, for Jesus said if you abide in my commands ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
#Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecclesiastes 8:11
The Hebrew word for sentence is Pithgam; for judicial decree. Indeed the wheels of justice move slowly, but they do, and this is the reason that evil men committ evil, knowing that it will be a long time before they are brought to justice. Though a sinner do evil a hundred times and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before Him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. God has appointed a day that the world will be judged by the man Christ Jesus. So the beginning of the fear of the Lord is the beginning for wisdom. There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there is a just man, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. Every body gets what is coming to them, for God is not mocked, what so ever a man sows, that shall he also reap. Therefore, fear God, and depart from evil for God shall bring every work into judgment, whether it be a secret thing. Psalm 73:1-18 (A Psalm of Asaph) Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped, For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people return hither and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say how doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold these are the ungodly who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I been plagued and chastened every morning. If I say I will speak thus; behold I should offend agaist the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me: Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely God didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. So we must dwell in the sanctuary of God for there are pleasures at the right hand of the Father for evermore.
#According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Phillippians 1:20,21
The Greek word for ashamed is Aischunomai; for to feel shame from Aischos; disfigurement, i.e. disgrace. We are going to study two people, one who did not have to feel disfigurement or disgrace, and one who did. Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you anyone that maketh his son, or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Saul the first king of Israel was head and shoulders above all else and the Spirit of God came upon him. But Samuel gave Saul the command to destroy Agag, the Amalekite, and Saul spared the disfigured sheep instead. Samuel asked what this cry of the sheep was. Then Saul said he was going to save them by sacrificing to the Lord. But Samuel said to obey, is better than sacrifice. The kingdom will be departed from you and given to your neighbor. So Samuel died, and God no longer spoke to Saul, so he sought out the witch of Endor, and she called up Samuel from the dead. This violated the command of God. Just as it was told Saul died in battle with his son Jonathon, what a shame, and disfigurement this was for Saul Now we See Paul the one saved on the Damascus road was saved by the Lord, and he was in prison for preaching the gospel, and he was happy that others were preaching the gospel, but some out of envy, and some of the goodwill. Nevertheless, Paul was thankful that Christ was being preached, and his mission was that in nothing he would be ashamed but that Christ would be magnified in his body, whether by life or by death. For he knew to live is Christ, and to die gain. Yet Paul was caught between two opinions, for to be with Christ was far better, and yet it was needful for him to preach the gospel. We often face difficult decisions in life while serving the Lord, the most important decision we can make is to obey God in all things, and not try to make sacrifices as Saul did. My brothers and sisters live for the glory of God, and when the time comes, die to the glory of God, and you will have nothing to be ashamed of. 1 Samuel 28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said unto him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. This is what makes you ashamed, and not happy as a servant of God. Only go to the only one who has been dead, and is alive forevermore. Revelation 1:18 I am He that lives and was dead and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Him. Go to Jesus and you will never be ashamed, and He will give you eternal life. So be like Paul and not Saul, and Christ will be magnified in your body by life and by death.
#Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Roman 6:11
The Greek word for reckon is Logizomai; for to consider. Esteem, suppose and think on. Paul is telling us that since we died with the Lord Jesus in baptism, and are raised with Him in new life, we must consider ourselves dead to sin, By the power of the Holy Spirit we must mortify our members on the earth, such as fornication, drunkenness, and be not drunk with wine but be filled with the Spirit. When we do this we can live the Christian life with all fullness and joy. For the joy of the Lord is our strength. We must love the brethren and sisters in Christ with holy love. 1 Corinthians 13:5 Love doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things, Love never fails. This is the type of life that we live when we are dead to sin, and alive to the Lord Jesus Christ.
#And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him. Hebrews 12:5
The Greek word for rebuked is Elegcho; for to confute, admonish, convict, convince to tell a fault and reprove. The Greek word for chastening is Paideia; for education or training by disciplinary correction. That is what the Lord does to all of His children. He is not correcting the devils children, they will be judged at the Great White Throne if they do not repent. For whom the Lord loves He chasteneth and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. If you endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, or illigitimate, and not sons. So do not faint when the Lord corrects you, for it is for your good. The chastening of the present time is not joyous, but grevious, nevertheless, it yields the peacable fruits of righteousness to all that are exercised thereby. So thank God when you are chastened, for it is for you to become a holy vessel used of the Lord. We are baptized into the suffering of Christ so that we can be partakers of His holiness. Happy is he whom the Lord corrects and blessed when the Lord awards you with righteousness.
#And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12
The Greek word for violent is Biastes; for a violent man. From Biazo; a forcer, i.e. (figuratively) energetic those by whom the kingdom of God strive to obtain its privileges with the utmost eagerness and effort. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to the knowledge of the truth, so He suffers violence. However, God has appointed a day when the world will be judged by the man Christ Jesus, whom they pierced. He will rule with a rod of iron, and put down all authority, and rebellion by force. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. The wrath of God will be revealed against all ungodliness and He will institute peace and security for all people. There will be peace in the valley for thee, and they shall not harm on His holy hill in Zion. He will rule from sea to sea, and righteousness will flow as a mighty river. So seek the Lord while He may be found, for His Spirit will not always strive with mankind. Jesus will reward all those who were beheaded for the cause of Christ, and they will be rulers in His heavenly kingdom. God will reverse the Adamic curse and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and a child will play over the viper's nest. the wolf will lay down with the lamb. What a glorious day this will be when the kingdom of God will come to earth. For the Government will be on His shoulders, and of its peace there will be no end.
#Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth, and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. James 5:4 The Greek word for Sabaoth is for Lord of armies Of Hebrew origin Tsaba in feminine plural; armies; Sabaoth. i.e. Tsebaoth, a military epithet of God. as those who under the leadership and protection of Jehovah maintain His cause in war. We are in a war and people are being defrauded of their rightful wages, and Jehovah God of angel armies will fight their battles. We must warn the wicked to repent of this practice and pay their laborers a fair wage. Jesus said what is right I will pay and has sent us to work in His vineyard for a penny a day. Little is much when it is placed in the Master's hands. May we learn how to serve God to the fullness of our abilities, and walk in wisdom. I pray that employers will pay their workers, and companies awarding sweepstakes will pay their prizes. God is a buckler for the poor, and He will fight their battles, so pay your laborers fairly. Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma and been like unto Gomorrha.
#Defraud ye, not one the other, except it is with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempts you not for your incontinency. 1 Corinthians 7:26 The Greek word for defraud is Apostereo; for to despoil and to deprive. Paul is giving this command by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and he knows God intends for us to come apart for a season to fast and to pray so that our faith will be strengthened. The Greek word for consent is Sumphonos; for sounding together in accordance. The Greek word for incontinency; is Akrasia; for want of self-restraint. This is what happens when you do not come back together, Satan will tempt you knowing that you cannot restrain yourselves. How many marriages are destroyed because couples do not adhere to this command? No longer than three months, you must come apart for fasting and prayer, then conjugate together again. I hope you will discuss this with your spouse so that they will understand. God made us this way so that we could procreate and recreate as one. When this is practiced this way, your marriage will be stronger and more dynamic. It is my prayer that couples will study this passage, and not fail to keep it. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway. So shall it direct us in the way that we should go, and we will have peace.
#Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16 The Greek word for love is Agape; for goodwill, and charity. From agapao; love, i.e. Affection or benevolence; especially (plural) a love feast a purely Biblical and ecclesiastical word used by Aristotle, Plutarch. Song of Solomon 3:5 I charge you O ye daughters of Jerusalem by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love until he please. Love is splendid as the Lord Jesus Christ so loved us, that He laid down His life for us on the cross, and we ought to lay our lives down for the brethren. Song of Solomon is a love story to us, by our Lord and we are charged by the daughters of Jerusalem by the roes the Hebrew word Tsbiy for splendor, beautiful, and pleasant. And by the hinds; the Hebrew word Ayalah; for a doe or female dear.
What love is a tender delicacy that the male deer has for the female deer. This is the love our Lord has for us, the Bride of Christ and we husbands are to have this type of love for our wives. For better and for worse, in sickness, and health. A love that goes beyond our circumstances. We must grow in love more, and more every day, and render due benevolence to them. But remember to stir not love before its time, for there are times when we must fast and pray to the Lord the lover of our souls, and then for a season to come back together again lest we be tempted. We must love our wives as Christ has loved the Church and gave Himself for her, to cleanse her, and purify her. For Jesus is coming back for a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle. So let us love one another, just as Christ has loved us.
