THEME: Wine Is A Mocker. I.
MEMORY VERSE:
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
Proverbs 20:1.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Proverbs 31:4-6.
“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
To start with, today message may not be for a genuine believer, but can serves as a tool of counsel for those that are involved in alcoholic escapades. Meanwhile, what is wine? The Cambridge Advance Learner’s Dictionary, described wine thus: Wine is an alcoholic drink which is usually made from grapes, but can also be made from other fruits or flowers. It is made by fermenting the fruit with water and sugar.
However, the world all over, wine is use for celebration: be it for wedding, house warming, naming and the likes. Nevertheless, our today’s text present us a worthwhile counsel given to King Lemuel by her mother on wine, saying that, kings should abstain from wine, in order not to forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. And she further advice that the king should rather give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and so on.
Furthermore, memory verse expressly confirmed that, _”Wine is a mocker and whosoever is deceived by it is not wise.”_ The truth is that, when you see a drunk, you need no one to tell you that, wine is a mocker and a drink cherish by the fool.
In conclusion, beloved in Christ Jesus, one may say I will drink moderately, but do you think, it will be easy to stop, once started? Think wisely, a word is enough for the wise. May I not be enticed by the smell and colour of the wine in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not be fooled or mocked by wine.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me not to give in to pressure to go into wine. May I remain focus on the power of the Holy Spirit all the days of my life in Jesus name. Amen.
