THEME: Wine Is A Mocker. II.
MEMORY VERSE:
“Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.”
Proverbs 23:33.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Proverbs 23:29-32.
“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered a drunk, as a man or woman who is not wise. We also established the reasons while a king should not drink wine. It is, so as not to forget the law and pervert judgement, that the strong drink is to him,who is ready to perish and for those with heavy hearts.
Nevertheless, our today’s text clearly described who a drunk is and states some negative effects of wine, it says; *”Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?* However, the following are the characteristics of a drunk: They are woes, sorrow, contention, blabbing, wounds without cause, redness of eyes and so on.
Furthermore, our text further give answer to the question raised earlier saying; it is, _They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine._ As an unbeliever, if you say your Bible permit you to drink, do you tarry or mixed all kinds of wine? If yes, beware so as not to perish in no time with wine.
More so, the scripture says: “Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. *At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.”* The truth of the matter is that, wine bite like a serpent and sting like an adder. Invariably, it passes poison into your system and reduce your life span.
Conclusively, a true child of God, will not indulge in alcoholic drinks. Knowing full well that, when you are intoxicated with wine, it distort your vision, and makes perverse utterance to flow from your heart through your month. Most importantly, it can land you into trouble. May you and I not enter into trouble in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not be filled with wine. But with the Holy Ghost and power.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, with wine in me, I will be mocked. Fill me Lord, with Holy Ghost and power and I will not be mocked in Jesus name. Amen.
