Hear My Son - Teaching Learning in Proverbs 1-9

Daniel J. Estes

Summary

Even a cursory reading of the book of Proverbs reveals that it is dominated by the subject of education, or personal formation. The voice of the teacher addressing his pupils resounds from its pages. A wide array of topics is presented, and frequent exhortations challenge the learner to hear and heed the teacher's instruction. This material, however, comes for the most part without recognizable order or sequence. Much of Proverbs consists of apparently random collections of maxims. As readers, we see many individual pieces, but the puzzle as a whole remains unclear.
In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Daniel J. Estes synthesizes the teachings of the first nine chapters of Proverbs into a systematic statement of the theory ofeducation and personal formation that lies behind the text. Working from the Hebrew text and building upon an extensive analysis of exegetical works, Estes organizes his study of Proverbs 1–9 into seven categories typical of pedagogical discussion: worldview, values for education, goals for education, curriculum for education, the process of instruction, the role of the teacher and the role of the learner.
His work agrees with but also transcends the original purpose of the text by revealing thefoundational theory of intellectual and moral formation embedded in this important section of Scripure. It also has valuable things to say about constructing a bibilically informed philosophy of education today.
Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Prophetic declarations to...

Olusegun Festus Remilekun

INTRODUCTION
‘’As for me, I call to God, and the LORD saves me. Evening, morning and noon, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice. He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.’’ Psalm 55:16-18.
Praying prophetically by the power of declarations is the best way to take charge of your day, week, month and the year. Every great man has a secret and that secret is called the key. The key is a very small instrument with extraordinary power and influence, the one who has the key to the car controls the speed of the car. The key to your blessing is your mouth.
The word of God once declared in faith can frame your world and it becomes a world of power, wealth, favor and success. There is a lot of power in your tongue. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those who love it will eat its fruit (Proverbs 18:21). The miracles are in your mouth; so, declare God’s word consistently and on daily basis too.
Praying prophetically by the power of declaration, in the morning, afternoon and night is a top secret to win the battles of each day and accomplished your vision, mission, goals, and assignments for the day and the week.
Prophetic declarations are bold and clear. They are not suggestions neither are they confessions. Kings are those who make decrees and declarations because they rule. You are a king (Revelations 5:10). So declare and release the power for the miraculous in your life, every morning, afternoon and evening before you sleep and you will have ceaseless victory, breakthroughs, and blessing on a daily basis.
“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, what doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4
Shout it loud, prophesy it, announce it, demand it, decree it, declare it, because you are a king, and the Almighty God will back you up!
Now, you have an instrument in your hands to live with, you have no excuse for a failure again. I know some lives issues will not yield to pampering nor bother about secret weeping; rather they listen to heartfelt prayer with an open declaration.
The prophetic declaration prayers in this book, have been divided into three segments on daily basis; morning, afternoon and night for your daily victories and breakthroughs.

Deliverance From the Spirit of...

Olusegun Festus Remilekun

INTRODUCTION
Handling anger is an important life skill. Christian counselors report that 85 percents of people who come in for counseling have problems dealing with anger. Anger can shatter communication and tear apart relationships, and it ruins both the joy and health of many. Sadly, people tend to justify their anger instead of accepting responsibility for it.
Everyone struggles, to varying degrees, with anger. Thankfully, God's Word contains principles regarding how to handle anger in a godly manner, and how to overcome destructive anger.
Overcoming the spirit of destructive anger is not accomplished overnight. But through prayer, Bible study, and reliance upon God's Holy Spirit, the spirit of destructive anger can be overcome. We may have allowed anger to become entrenched in our lives by habitual practice, but we can also practice responding correctly until that, too, becomes a habit and God is glorified in our response.
If you want the great and mighty things God has for you in life to manifest, you must get to the root of destructive anger and deal with it. Everybody has to deal with anger from time to time. But what's the best way to handle it? To answer that question, we must first understand what destructive anger really is.
Destructive anger is an intense emotional response rooted in annoyance, displeasure, indignation, wrath, vengeance, or hostility which is usually irrationally.
Ephesians 4:26-27; "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun goes down upon your wrath: Neither gives place to the devil."

You must kill destructive anger by prayer!

Anti coronavirus missiles prayer...

Olusegun Festus Remilekun

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is one of the major plagues currently haunting the earth.
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has so far infected and killed thousands of people worldwide and has been branded a global pandemic.
Several nations are reporting not just infections from the outbreak, but deaths!

Authorities say the numbers of dead and infected could keep multiplying for weeks or months.

This virus has emptied the streets of proud cities, national and international airlines have been grounded. Schools have been closed, entertainment and sporting events are closed, businesses and offices are closing down on a daily basis because of the fear of this deadly pandemic called Coronavirus. Even friendly handshakes are now avoided to elbow shakes.

There is a need to pray that God should stop the virus from spreading further. We will pray for the spread of the virus to stop, the virus should lose its power.
God is a supreme being, He has power over everything, and our prayer of healing and prevention of Coronavirus would cause God to put a stop to it.

Psalm 107:20- ‘’He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.’’

While praying, we should pray for those that have been affected by the virus that God Himself should heal them.

The Bible made us understand that God is a powerful healer, He can stretch forth His hands and heal millions of people in a second.
Enough of people dying from the virus, we will be praying God should heal everyone that has been affected by the virus.

The scripture says for we bear the mark of Christ, let no man trouble us.
We must pray that the hands of God be upon each and every one of us and protect us from this demonic virus.

Exodus 15:26- “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”

Shalom!

Your Dream Directory -...

Prayer M. Madueke

What is God saying to you in your dreams
 
Your Dream Directory is a beginner's guide to understanding the true source of our dreams, dream classifications, and even dream symbols.Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, or emotions that occur during sleep. It is an activity observed or enacted in one's sleep and impressed in one's memory so that when you wake up, it will be vividly remembered. If you forget your dreams, or think you do not dream at all, or dream but do not know the right prayers to pray, you may face great loss, sudden disaster or abortion of divine provisions.
 
This book answers questions like:
 
*Can we control our dreams?* What is the meaning of my dreams?* How do I handle dreams I have forgotten?* How do I pray when I forget my dreams?* I used to dream all the time. Why has my dream life suddenly ceased?* Should I pray for the gift of dream interpretation?* What does it mean if I see people in my dreams who have already passed away?* When do I share a dream I've received and when do I keep it to myself?* Why should I pay attention to my children's dreams?* The prayers to pray when you dream and forget or fail to interpret rightly
 
There are dozens of mentions of dreams in the Bible. From Abraham to Joseph, from Daniel to Pontius Pilot's wife, God has communicated with His people through dreams throughout recorded history.Why would God choose to speak to us while we sleep? Perhaps it's because we are too distracted during the day to sit still long enough for Him to share the deep secrets of His heart.Prayer Madueke is convinced God speaks to us in very personal ways. At times he may use pictures, memories, impressions, or even a still small voice.This book is everyone's book because dream is common to all people,rich, poor, and people from all race in all the countries of the world, welcome to your dream directory!!
