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.

#Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1 Corinthians 9:24 Run to win
The Greek word for race is Stadion, meaning a stade or a certain measure of distance. To them that are without law, as without law (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we have an incorruptible one. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection, lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Run to win, and we do this by playing by the rules. It is wonderful seeing the Olympics and all those competing by the rules. They are doing it for a specific distance. Paul was a sports enthusiast, and he loved watching the games. He did this to compare those who win without law, as under the law, to Christ. He said I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some. So we must run to win some to Christ, and play by the rules. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. So keep your cool and run, not as one that beateth the air. Paul learned that I keep my body and bring it into subjection to the law of Christ, lest by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Therefore, be disciplined and look to the finish line, and pace yourself so that you do not run out of energy. Self-flagellation is needed to beat this body into discipline. It is my prayer that you run to win, because they are running to win a corruptible crown, whereas we are running to win an incorruptible crown. So look to Jesus who, for joy, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of glory with the Father in heaven. Run, to win so that you will hear well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou now into the joy of thy Lord.
#Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Ecclesiastes 11:1 Invest your money after many days
The Hebrew word for bread is Lechem, meaning food, especially grain, fruit, meat, or victuals. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
Invest your money after many days. Solomon is giving us wisdom that God has given him. For Solomon did not ask for riches, but wisdom, and the scripture tells us, if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God. We all need food, and grain or victuals to live, and this wisdom that Solomon is giving us is teaching us the importance of investing wisely for a long time. When you buy a stock, do your research and invest pennies; you can make thousands over many years. The same is true for putting your money in an investment account that compounds daily. It is God who gives us wisdom on how to earn wealth, and when we listen, we are wiser in our investments. Invest your money after many days in people, and God will bless you for your generosity. Solomon says if the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth. This is the importance of investing wisely, and as the tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. Jesus gave a gift to all of us, and He expects us to invest them wisely in people. Don't be afraid to take chances with people, for many people have done little with much when it is placed in God's hands. Trust God to give you the wisdom to invest in the right people to build your business. After many days, your wisdom will pay off, and God will reward you for your faith and your hard work. So invest money after many days and pray to God to bless it and use it for His glory.
#Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son
The Hebrew word for angry is Anaph, meaning to breathe hard and be enraged. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son. Judas Iscariot kissed the Lord Jesus and sold Him for thirty pieces of silver. Jesus said unto him, " Wherefore come thou friend? Jesus was giving Judas a chance to repent of his sin, but he failed to do so and instead hanged himself for the guilt of betraying our Lord. Jesus will come back and take vengeance on all those who failed to repent, and will dash the nations as a potter's vessel. Therefore, be wise, O kings, and be instructed, ye judges of the earth. This is what the Lord will have us to do: Love mercy, do justice, and walk humbly with thy God. Micah 6:8 We are at the time of the end, and people are engrossed in idolatry. Jesus warned that in the last days, love would wax cold because of the sin in the land. Let us come out from among them and live a holy life. For the Lord will bring righteousness and justice to the poor and needy. We will be able to kiss the Son in heaven for dying on the cross for our sins. May the Lord come and take us away to our heavenly home so that we can worship and praise Him forever, and kiss the Son.
#And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 11:15 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
The Greek word for kingdoms is Basileia, meaning royalty, rule, and realm. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand, and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the four and twenty elders which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God. Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, is the prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ, for the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. The Apostle John has been exiled on Patmos, receiving the Revelation from the angel of the Lord of what shall come; the two witnesses have been killed and resurrected, then raptured to heaven. All heaven erupts in praise as the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their seats fall upon their faces and worship God. We will be praising God because the Lion of the tribe of Judah has taken the title deed back from Satan, which was given unto him by Adam in the Garden of Eden. Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, and now, as the Lion of Judah, He is taking vengeance on those who do not believe this gospel. The nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great, and that thou shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, and God will judge man for not preserving the earth. We are the ones designated as Adam was in the Garden of Eden to protect the earth, and God is going to hold mankind responsible for this. Jesus is coming again with judgment and a rod of iron to rule this earth forever. Let us rejoice and be glad that our Lord Jesus Christ will reign and there will be peace forever upon the earth.
#So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Romans 7:3 For better and for worse
The Greek word for adulteress is Moichalis, for committing adultery. So long as he liveth? For the woman which hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
For better and for worse, is the vow in marriage, and yet still many divorce for irreconcilable differences, which is not a biblical divorce. Clearly, as long as the woman is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress until her husband is dead. This is a picture of Christians who are dead to the law, because Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. Therefore, let us bring fruit unto God. We must put to death those things in the flesh, such as fornication and adultery, and walk in the spirit so that we are not bound unto the desires of the flesh. So now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serve in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. Let us be reconciled unto God, for if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, for the old is passed away, and all has become new. Therefore, I beseech you that you are no longer conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds. So be ye holy, as God our Father is holy and has called us to live by the power of the Holy Spirit.
#The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 Live the abundant life in Jesus Christ
The Greek word for "abundantly" is Perissos, meaning "superabundant" or "superfluous"-excessive, superior. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Live the abundant life in Jesus Christ. Satan is the thief that cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Jesus is come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. Jesus is the door, and the only way to be saved is to open the door to your heart and let Jesus in. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice, and a stranger's voice they will not follow. What a glorious truth this is, and the hireling is the false prophet who comes for the money and steals it, and when the wolf comes, he runs away. Jesus said I give unto my sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish. It is my prayer that you will accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and live an abundant life.
#For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:53 Death is swallowed up in victory
The Greek word for corruptible is Phthartos, meaning decayed. perishable. Now this I say, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. Thanks be unto God who gives us the victory in our Lord Jesus Christ. Death is swallowed up in victory. Therefore, let us be stedfast, and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for we know that our labor is not in vain. So rejoice and give thanks because Jesus has won the victory for us. So let us not sorrow as those who have no hope. As the great hymn of the Church goes, when I die I will fly away, this is my prayer, and comfort ye one another with these words.
#And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: Matthew 6:28
The Greek word for raiment is Enduma, meaning apparel, especially the outer robe. Therefore, I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; not yet for your body what ye shall put on. Is not life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stature? And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you? O ye of little faith? Therefore, take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed? God knows we require all these things, so keep your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and He shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.
#Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:13. Paul did not attain perfection
The Greek word for apprehended is Katalambano, meaning to take eagerly, i.e. sieze, possess, etc., comprehend. That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, nor were already perfect; but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Paul did not attain perfection, but he taught us the one thing that we must do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. This should be the goal of every Christian, and as we walk in this life of faith, let us mind the same rule. For God shall reveal to us otherwise minded on judgment day
#For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 Put on the whole armor of God.
The Greek word for principalities is Arche, meaning magistrate, power, principle, a commencement in various applications of order, time, place, or rank. And ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with Him. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Put on the whole armour of God; this is the modus operandi to overcoming the devil and his magistrates. We must do all we can to stand against these evil forces and not fight against flesh and blood. Your warfare is not against your neighbor, so we walk in the flesh, but we do not war against the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are mighty in God, pulling down every stronghold. So after having done all to stand pray for your brothers and sisters in the faith, so you will be able to overcome all the wiles of the devil.
