Summary

In many ways, Proverbs is similar to the wisdom literature of the wider ancient Near East. However, while the book initially appears to consist primarily of practical advice, wisdom is grounded in a relationship with God. In this replacement Tyndale Commentary, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear of the Lord, choosing wisdom not folly, and having our characters formed by wisdom are crucial forunderstanding Proverbs as Christian Scripture and living out our faith in daily life.The Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives aconcise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individualverses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context,Comment, and Meaning. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.

    In this book, Command the Morning, Day, and Night, we were given biblical counsel on how to take charge of our morning, day, and night to control our environments. Commanding your morning, day or night is to exercise authority or giving command invested upon believers by God, to say what will stand without negotiation, compromise, or prior agreement. The command creates barriers to frustrate everything satanic and wicked people do. Evil decrees or commands from agents of Satan can be reversed, but commands from God and his saints cannot be reversed without God's permission. Believers command can make or unmake things, kill or give life. All creatures were created by God's command, believers are authorized and empowered by God to imitate Him.
     
    This book provides you with biblical cutting-edge counsel and powerful declarations that will guide you in commanding your morning, day, and night. A closed mouth is a closed destiny!!

    Money is one of the major needs of the body of Christ today. As a believer the moment you got born again, you need money to serve Jehovah. 
    Divine prosperity, riches, and wealth are from God. Proverbs 8:18, says, ‘’Riches and honor are with me, yea durable riches and righteousness.’’. God is the only one that can bring financial blessings to His children. Haggai 2:8, ‘’ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. 
    As believers, we can declare and decree the word of God into the spiritual atmosphere and command financial prosperity and wealth to manifest in our lives. 
    Biblical prophetic decree is a powerful tool in the school of spiritual warfare. We need faith when we do this because faith is the hope of things yet unseen. 
    When we desire financial prosperity and wealth in our lives, then we need to keep confessing, decreeing and declaring the word of God into our prosperity until it becomes a reality in our lives. 
    God wants His children to be prosperous and wealthy in life so we may be a blessing to the nations. I want to encourage you to use these decrees every day and soon you will see the manifestation of a prosperous and wealthy life.

    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!
