THE SUPERFLUITY OF A FOOL'S NAUGHTINESS

The word of God in Proverbs 10:23 says “It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.” Here we are exposed to the idea of a foolish person. This individual who is usually submerged in foolishness takes pleasure in behaving badly, while a wise person avoids causing mayhem.


Perusing the Holy Bible, we find that there are many examples of individuals who exhibited foolish behaviour and the consequences that followed were grievous. In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon describes the futility of chasing after pleasure and material possessions while stating that all of it is meaningless in the grand scheme of life. The delicacy of this thought is preconceived by Proverbs 21:20, which reads “There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.” This further explains that foolish behaviours lead to financial instability and ruin in life.


As the book of Proverbs expresses the quirks and dangers of foolishness, it did not fail to extensively proscribe its destructive nature. In Proverbs 14:16, we see that “A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.” The idea of recognizing the dangers of evil and avoiding it proves to be a wise one but when a foolish person advances it, the end is always a reckless abandon.


Furthermore, Proverbs 13:20 refreshing’s the memory without promiscuity by saying “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” It is an obvious fact that the character trait of the wise will always rub-of on their company, thereby impacting positivism on the society. Let this be know, the company we keep can greatly impact our own behaviour and moral compass. If we surround ourselves with foolish individuals, we are more likely to engage in foolish activities ourselves and will be left to suffer the consequences that accompany them.


In the New Testament, the apostle Paul also addressed the issue of foolishness and its negative impact on one’s life. In Galatians 6:7-8, he states “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” And as such, we should take into account that our actions have consequences, and foolish behaviours will gravitate to destruction and suffering in the Lake of Fire which burneth with fire and brimstone.


In conclusion, the superfluity of a fool’s naughtiness is clear throughout the passages of the Holy Bible. Behaving Foolishly leads to financial ruin, moral corruption, physical harm and eternal damnation. It is therefore important for us to seek wisdom from God and avoid foolishness in all areas of our lives. If you are still considering how to become a beneficiary of God’s wisdom, look no further. Simply come to Jesus Christ, as he has paid the price for your redemption. Please, do remember to come to him with a penitent heart. God bless you as you do. Proverbs 4:7 states, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” May God Almighty give us all the wisdom and understanding we seek to live godly lives worthy of emulation while avoiding the pitfalls of foolishness along the way, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
