Matthew 10:16 KJV  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.   In this message we learn what it means to be as harmless as a dove and as wise as a serpent. The prophet teaches that we should be harmless towards ourselves, other people, the church, and the kingdom of God. The example of the Madman of Gadara from Mark 5 and Luke 8 is given to explain how we should not be harmful towards ourselves. The prophet also teaches us what we need to master in order to become wise like a serpent.

Ephesians 4:1-2 KJV  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; In this episode, we learn that true thankfulness comes from the ability to be humble. True humility is stemmed from aspects such as listening to warnings from pastors, understanding that past achievements are acquired with the help of others, making sure the church and pastors are left out of criticisms, and learning from the past mistakes of our parents. When we are thankful, we are able to achieve great things. In John 6 and 11 of the New Testament, we see the examples of Jesus praying in thankfulness to multiply the food for the multitude and to raise the dead. As we aim to live life as Jesus did, we must also take his thankfulness and humility into account to effectively live as he did.

How Can I Say Thanks

If you examined the details of Jesus birth, say, as recorded in Luke 2, many of the details appear as just circumstantial occurrences. But when taken into context with prophecies like that in Micah chapter 5, one begins to see the unfolding of a plan. Micah 5:2-3 KJV  But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.  3  Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. It would have been hard to have a perspective of what was happening in the spirit for any observers at Jesus' birth, which was prophesied to take place in Jerusalem, but the parents lived in Nazareth. By being spiritual and taking what God is doing around us into account, we can be able to appreciate and take part in what God is doing around us, like Simeon, who had been expecting, and welcomed Jesus at His dedication in the temple: Luke 2:25-33 KJV  And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.  26  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  27  And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,  28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,  29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:  30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,  31  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;  32  A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.  33  And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

How To Improve Your Wisdom - Considering, Thinking, Meditating

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: And BLESSED BE THY ADVICE, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 1 Samuel 25:32, 33  When David was upset at Nabal's rude answer to his request for help and he overreacted in going to take revenge on Nabal, his wife heard of the issue and went to meet David and placate him. David listened to her godly advice and calmed down. For she warned him that his overreaction would cause him to sow evil seed that he would live to regret later in life when God brings him into the greatness he had  promised him.listen to advice - even when it is your enemy speaking, listen to what they say tune in more...

Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV  I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the WISE, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.   Wisdom shows up in the list of determinants as the winner of bread - that is, unless time and chance change the circumstances. Wisdom is the level of skill and judgment in applying the knowledge you have. You can't hide it - when it is lacking, it shows, when it is present it shows in your life! wisdom determines your position and rank in your nation wisdom determines your ability to stay in an elevated position wisdom determines your place in ministry wisdom determines your ability to work  in important places wisdom determines the mighty works that you can accomplish

From Ecclesisates 9:11 we gather that the best outcomes are not always realized through speed, strength, wisdom, understanding and skill, but time and chance produces surprising outcomes. This is actually saying that barring the intervention of time and chance, the usual determinants are speed, strength, wisdom, understanding and skill - factors that we can influence. In this episode, we look at some examples of strong men in the Bible we can learn to follow, and how to improve your strength. Make God your strength - trust in His mercy. Receive counsel from God Strengthen yourself by returning and resting in God

How To Improve Your Strength

And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his ARMOURBEARER.  1 Samuel 16:21   There are so many Christians who want to start out on top!  But the only job that begins at the top is grave digging!  If you study the background of many great people, you will discover that they once served at the lowest level in their profession.   The best leader is someone who has been a follower for many years.  Because you have done menial jobs, you are more reasonable with your subordinates.  You understand what they are going through and do not give impossible commands.

Do not be afraid of small beginnings; God will lift you up.  You will benefit from all the experiences you have had in your small beginnings. It was when David was looking after the few sheep that he had a fight with a bear and a lion.  It is because he was used to fighting impossible situations that he was able to take on Goliath.

And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. Numbers 14:26-27   Murmuring and complaining can become the culture of any office, church or group.  The Israelites developed this culture of being dissatisfied, discontent and disenchanted by everything their leader did. They complained about everything until their complaints sounded like madness.   Complaining and murmuring is satanic in its very nature.  Demonic things often make no sense when they are analysed.  It does not make sense when people shout and rave for being delivered from slavery. The senseless and unreasonable outbursts of the Israelites revealed the presence of demons amongst them. Miriam developed leprosy because she murmured against Moses. The Israelites developed plagues and diseases when they murmured against the Lord.

You don't have to like tennis to like this. There is so much to learn from how this rivalry made each player better. This series explores the unique tennis rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal-- two very different players, both exceptional, in pursuit of perfection. Swiss-born Roger Federer was seemingly born with a racquet in his hand and at a young age he quickly masters the game, but what he needs to reach the top is to learn how to master his emotions. Meanwhile, Spaniard Rafael Nadal learns the game under the tutelage of his uncle Toni on the clay courts of Mallorca, where the decision to make him a left-handed player separates him early from his competition.
