*POOR RICHES AND RICH POVERTY*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches."* Proverbs 13:7 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
"There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing", this shows possibility, a communication of a kind of prosperity that lacks substance.
It is a way to say, while there are riches that are substancial, it is also possible to have riches that are superficial and actually amounts to emptiness-- nothing!
All riches do not amount to prosperity. Some prosperity lack substance. There is even that as well.
Conversely, "there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches." It is also a communication of possibility, and existence of a type of poverty that lacks no substance.
I can immediately think of John the Baptist or even more accutately Jesus Christ. These men did not amass physical wealth but their lives in substance and impact were greatly enriched.
_MEDITATION:_
*Not all prosperity is measured by wealth, and not all poverty is defined by lack*

*Righteousness over wickedness*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner."* Proverbs 13:6 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Your rising is tied to your right standing with God's words.
To stand right with God, you must accept, act & align with the Word.
The way of righteousness is the way of obedience to the Word of God.
When we are rising in our obedience to God's words, your alignment is counted as righteousness.
When we are failing in our obedience to God's words, your unalignment is counted as sinfulness which can also register as wickedness before God.
The advantage of righteousness includes a cover or protection of its practitioners. The disadvantage of unrighteousness is that it inclines its practitioners towards a downfall.
_MEDITATION:_
*May we disist from disobedience & embrace a life of obedience to God's words*

*"THE FRUIT OF YOUR MOUTH"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence."* Proverbs 13:2 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Your mouth is one of your primary sources of livelihood. You can either maximize the potential of the fruits of your mouth or you underestimate it.
My former and first boss in legal practice will tell me,
*"David, in this profession, what we sell is our mouths"*
Indeed, the fruits of our lips can make us either become rich or otherwise. One of the ways this happens is through positive confession.
Of course, this goes beyond positive confessions. Another way is by engaging our lips in fruiful discussions. If you have plenty time for idle talk, you will not be as productive as you ought to be in life.
Let's also add, encouraging and inspiring words. Speak words to lift people up. Speak words to solve their issues or at least don't make it worse.
Finally for now, use your words to win people into God's kingdom. Just yield your vocals and God's spirit will do the convicting.
_MEDITATION:_
*Use your words wisely. Use it to better your world. Use it to encourage those around you. Use it to win souls. Use it to do good always!*

*"Coconut Head Generation"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke."* Proverbs 13:1 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
The problem with a coconut head generation is hearing -- how they hear, when they hear, who they hear, whether they hear, and the extent to which they hear what they hear and when they hear.
This coconut head generation, will they even hear? The deeper question is probably if they have fathers to listen to. The father question is a serious one as many fathers are absent or irresponsible. We thank God that there are still many fathers who are living up to that calling of fatherhood.
A coconut head generation chooses not to hear most times. And when they do, it is to the extent they wish to hear or what part they wish to hear.
Another problem is that they hear their own generation rather than listen to exemplary father figures. They would rather mock or scorn the fathers, than pay attention to what or who they need to hear.
They do not take kindly to correction. They don't want to be corrected. They want to be pampered and left to whatever decision they make.
_MEDITATION:_
*A wise person will seek for worthy fathers to listen to and will not be ashamed or adamant towards correction!*

*"UNDYING"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death."* Proverbs 12:28 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Life is the by product of righteousness! There is no death in righteousness.
Romans 5:21 (KJV) That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
When sin was allowed, the by product was death! Likewise, when righteousness is allowed by grace, the result or by product is (eternal) life.
Romans 8:10 (KJV) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
The consequences of sin is death, both physically and ultimately spiritually (eternal separation from God). The fruits or outcome of righteousness is life. When you practice righteousness, you have evidence of the life of God in you. When Christ lives in you, there is an ongoing mortification of the works of the flesh. That's the "death of the body" (meaning the dying of the works of the flesh).
It is this state of living in the dying of the flesh, that is supposed to be the reality of the life of God in the believer, (which is the practical effect of righteousness) that makes one truly UNDYING.
_MEDITATION:_
*For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day!* (2 Corinthians 4:16 (KJV))

*"Unaccomplished"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious."* Proverbs 12:27 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
The lazy shall be unaccomplished!
To be unaccomplished is to be stopped midway and to always desire and never realize what you wish for.
One of the major challenges or obstacles on the way to success, progress or achievement or accomplishment is laziness.
The lazy will get admission but will not make the most of that admission. They will come out either as a drop out or as an average graduate.
The lazy will get a job but their poor work ethics will not allow them to keep the job.
When lazy individuals run a business, their clients often suffer from delayed deliveries and missed deadlines.
The lazy will never reach their zenith. They will never reach their potential. They will suffer from procrastination. They will always blame something or someone or tiredness or even unproductive busyness for their lack of underachievement.
The lazy will pamper underperformance and dislike anything that tries to make them work harder. The lazy are their own greatest set back but they are always blaming others or something else.
To be unaccomplished in life, court laziness and admire idleness or just aimless talking.
_MEDITATION:_
*Kill laziness, laziness kills!*

*"MORE EXCELLENT"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them."* Proverbs 12:26 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
One of the prayers of apostle Paul for believers is "That ye may APPROVE THINGS that are EXCELLENT; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ." Philippians 1:10 (KJV)
God is a God of excellence. He want us to be people of excellence.
Excellence in character, excellence in conducts, excellence in work ethics, excellence in service, and excellence in all things.
God's plan is that God's people will be praise worthy and worthy examples. Excellence must define all we do.
_MEDITATION:_
*MAKE EXCELLENCE YOUR PURSUIT TO GOD'S GLORY!*

*"A GOOD WORD"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad."* Proverbs 12:25 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
A good word makes the heart glad!
The heart of man can become heavy, tired, discouraged, burdened, confused or just depressed.
There is power in the word. A good word, can spark up and strengthen or enlighten the heart.
A good word can bring laughter, or just a relief.
As a person be invested in being a person of a good word.
There are too many challenges on earth, many hearts are growing weak and weary.
Practice being a person with the sort of word that inspires positivity, courage, dreams, hope and faith.
_MEDITATION:_
*Sometimes, it is good to not speak at all, if you are not sure you have a good word!*

*"Prudence in speech"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness."* Proverbs 12:23 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Jesus did not reveal all knowledge to all of his audience. He was clearly selective.
He had a parable to some audience but had the interpretation of the parable to a different more personal audience.
This means knowledge should be audience appropriate when being shared.
Don't just open your mouth ajar and share everything you know because you have such knowledge. Check to be sure that the specific audience is worthy or deserving of such knowledge.
_MEDITATION:_
*Matthew 7:6 (KJV) Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*
