NOT CHOSEN FOR THIS



READ: ECCLESIASTES 7:4-5
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:17).
A fool is one who despises instruction. If you meet a man who gets angry after being corrected, it is because he is a fool. Proverbs 1:22 says a fool hates knowledge. The one who believes he can hide something from God is also called a fool (Psalm 94:8-9). Since he does not believe in the Omnipresence of God, the fool takes sin as a light thing (Proverbs 14:9).
“When you vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for He has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed.” (Ecclesiastes 5:4)
From the above passage, we see that it is a fool that vows without paying. He is so flippant with his tongue that he does not attach much importance to whatever he says. He is a truce breaker. In addition, Ecclesiastes 7:4-5 says it is only a fool that is ever happy-go-lucky. He is always making merry and never has sober moments or times of reflection. A fool is also frequently angry (Ecclesiastes 7:9). Are you easily provoked? Do you get angry regularly? You can receive help from the Lord to set you free from the yoke of foolishness. No foolish Christian can be among the chosen. Foolish Christians cannot make it to Heaven.
“Every wise woman builds her house; but the foolish plucks it down with her hands” (Proverbs 14:1).
While the wise is building God’s house, people’s lives and his own family, the fool is busy tearing down. Everyone with pull-down anointing is a fool. Proverbs 21:20 says while the wise remembers to save out of what comes to him, the fool eats up everything and has no savings. It is a fool who eats up his seedlings together with the harvest. He eats up his future harvests today. The wise will inherit glory while the fool will receive shame (Proverbs 3:35). A fool cannot inherit God’s kingdom. Search yourself today and find out if you have deviated from wisdom into foolishness and take steps to come back. You have not been chosen for foolishness. Arise today in wisdom.
MEMORIZE: PROVERBS 14:1 –Every wise woman builds her house; but the foolish plucks it down with her hands.
