WISDOM NUGGETS AT FAMILY HOME CHURCH: INVEST WISELY YOUR GOD’S GIVEN RESOURCES – TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL AND FINANCE BEFORE EXPENDING!
“There is PRECIOUS TREASURE and OIL in the HOUSE of the WISE [who PREPARE for the future], But a SHORT-SIGHTED and FOOLISH man SWALLOWS it up and WASTES it” Proverbs 21:20 Amplified.
When you EXPEND your OPPORTUNITIES in CONTRARIWISE instead of you to INVEST such in your God given resources of TIME, EFFORT (skill/talent), MATERIAL (Tools/Equipment) and FINANCE in order to CREATE the DESIRED enjoyable life treasure, pleasure and grace, you then KNOW that FOOLISHNESS and STUPIDITY has been set in motion for POVERTY and it’s side effects. And when foolishness sets in, you know the end results (you can name it or name them . . . ).
“He who TILLS his land will have PLENTY of bread, But he who FOLLOWS worthless things LACKS common sense and good judgment” Proverbs 12:11/Amplified.
An example of ignorance, foolishness and stupidity, is when you EXPEND your years energy of TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE in PREPARING for just A DAY WEDDING, and with little or no INVESTMENT of TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE in PREPARING for the DESIRED MARRIAGE that’s the WORTH of a LIFETIME; definitely and surely, you need NO special prophecy to determine what the final outcome of such UNPREPAREDNESS will be – if it will be pleasurable or regrettable – all day long.
Hence be WISE in INVESTING your God given resources of – TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL AND FINANCE – by wisdom before EXPENDING it at all for whatever contrarily.
