Proverbs 18:17 (NKJV) "The first one to plead his cause seems right, until his neighbor comes and examines him."

Our text today emphasizes that it is outright foolishness to draw conclusion on a matter that happens between two individuals based on the reports or account of one party. Although it is a common development in our society to believe that the report from a single party is full and unbiased and hastily draw conclusions.

Wise people don’t fall for this error, rather, they keep an open mind knowing that there is always another side and another perspective. The followings are steps of wisdom to take to avoid the folly of hasty conclusions when you hear a complaint or bad report about someone:

📌 Understand that you don’t yet have all the facts and can never see the whole picture until further investigation is done.
📌 Don’t act on the information you heard about another person (except in a life and death matter) until you hear the other side.
📌 If possible, seek to bring the complainant face to face with the person being complained about and let him repeat what he said about the other person.
📌 Ensure that your response and attitude to people is based on confirmed truth and not on hearsay or one sided reports.

This is a biblical principle of fairness and justice being emphasized by Proverbs 18:17. This should teach you further never to get all your world news from one source and slant.

QUESTION: Have you made the mistake of drawing conclusions based on a one party report? How can you avoid this error today?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, pursue fairness and justice by listening to all the reports from all sides before drawing conclusions. Avoiding precipitous conclusions is a mark of wisdom.

CONCLUSION: Avoid snap judgments.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 25-27; Proverbs 8

PRAYERS: Father, give me a wise and patient heart. Help me not to judge in haste, but to seek truth, listen to all sides, and walk in fairness and love in Jesus' name, Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURAL CONFESSION: Psalm 62:7 "In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God."

Proverbs 17:14 (NKJV) "The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts."

Our text today reveals that it is wisdom to drop any contentious matter between you and someone rather than get into dispute. Generally, offering reproof to someone is a step of wisdom and it is right to advocate for the oppressed (Proverbs 15:10; 27:5-6; 31:8-9).

As much as disputes cannot be completely avoided especially in some specific cases, it is better to make it a last resort and not a natural course of action. If disputes must be resorted to, then it becomes necessary to:
📍Examine your motives.
📍Access good advice.
📍Ascertain if genuine injustice has been done.
📍Ensure the truth is spoken and revealed in love

Once you enter a dispute, be thoroughly prepared for whatever will happen.

QUESTION: How easy do you resort to or avoid disputes?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, pursue the wisdom to know what to do under different conditions and the self control to do it right.

CONCLUSION: Don’t be fast to enter into disputes

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 22-24; Proverbs 7

PRAYERS: Father, grant me wisdom to avoid strife or stop it early as the case may demand. Help me to exercise self-control to choose peace and speak the truth in love in Jesus name. Amen.

Proverbs 25:15 (NIV) "Prov.25.15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone."

Today’s text emphasizes the power of a gentle answer as a weapon with the capacity to douse tension and de-escalate angry and bitter quarrels between two parties. In actual fact, gentle answer or speech is not just a mere use of soft words or an unwillingness to tell the truth in plain language but the capacity to lovingly speak with humility, candor and poise such that a hardened resistance is broken down to an acceptable idea.

In a gentle speech or answer, you may still argue pointedly, but in a gentle, patient and respectful manner. The New Testament reveals that to practically respond in a gentle manner in the face of provocation and contentions requires that we first and unconditionally forgive whoever has offended us from our hearts, this action will drain out so much of the contempt and disdain that can easily creep into our voice when we are contending with someone.

Hence, we can speak gently, patiently and respectfully. As a wise New Testament believer, you must cultivate the virtue of:
📍 Speaking with boldness without being harsh,
📍 Speaking with humility without being uncertain
📍 Speaking the truth in love

QUESTION: Are you willing to employ the weapon of a gentle answer when contending with someone?

MEDITATION: Henceforth cultivate the virtues of gentleness and absolute insistence on truth.

CONCLUSION: Wise people are gently persistent.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 18-21; Proverbs 6

PRAYERS: Father, teach me to answer gently even when I am provoked. Fill my heart with forgiveness, and let my words carry truth, humility, and love. Help me to be bold without being harsh in Jesus name. Amen.

Proverbs 17:9 (NKJV) "He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends."

The obvious indications that there is need for the restoration of relationships between two people are :
▪️ Mutual avoidance of each other.
▪️ The breakdown of familiarity with the effect that the two persons are unfortunately relatively formal with each other.
▪️ Personal irritation at each other’s presence and most importantly, speech.

The real question now is: how can relationships be restored to prevent the permanent loss of a brother or sister?

The following steps are not only practical but more importantly scriptural. As a believer,
I)Make a personal move to connect with your brother or sister - Matthew 5:24; 18:15.
II)Take responsibility for anything you did that may be responsible for the strain in the relationship.
III) Tell the other person to add whatever you might have omitted.
IV) Honorably accept any criticism.
V) Never defend or even make effort to explain yourself.
VI) Humbly ask for forgiveness and offer relevant explanations (not excuses) for what happened.
VII) Politely tell the other person where you believe he or she might have wronged you - Matthew 18:15-19.
VIII) Ask him or her to correct you if your understanding is inaccurate.
IX) Upon his or her agreement with you, indicate your willingness to put it behind you.
X) Suggest alternative and better ways of behavior in the future.

QUESTION: Are you willing to try this process to see if it works?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, pursue the courage and the ingenuity to slowly but surely and honestly rebuild trust with friends with whom you have had conflict in the past.

CONCLUSION: Foster love and restore relationships deliberately.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 15-17; Proverbs 5

PRAYERS: Father, give me courage and humility today to pursue peace. Help me to cover offenses in love, take responsibility, and rebuild trust. Teach me to love like you in Jesus' name, Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURAL CONFESSION: Psalm 5:12 (NLT) "For you bless the godly, O LORD, surrounding them with your shield of love."

Proverbs 17:9 (NKJV) "He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends."

Today’s text emphasizes the need to go beyond the godly choice of forgiveness when relationships break down to restoring love and genuine interaction. In other words, don’t just refrain from revenge or pay back, choose to foster love with the aim of retaining friendships. Here is how to practically achieve this:

📍Let it be clear to the offenders that they wronged you, without this, there will be no restoration of relationships - Luke 17:3-4.

📍It is not a sign of love to allow people to continue to sin against you neither can the relationship be preserved without talking about it.

📍In talking about it you may also discover what the other person has against you.

📍To burn inside with resentment and say nothing when wronged contradicts the counsel of the Bible.

📍Choose to forgive inside and then speak out the truth.

📍When you truly forgive, your rebuke of the offender will be for God’s sake and for the person’s sake rather than for your sake.

QUESTION: Is there anyone in your life who used to be a friend and with whom you need to foster love and restore relationship?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, actively pursue the resurrection of 'dead' family and friendship relationships. Let the new revelation of Christ’s love melt the hardness of your heart.

CONCLUSION: Foster love and restore relationships deliberately.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chron 12-14; Proverbs 4

PRAYERS: Father, help me to forgive quickly, speak truth in love, and pursue restoration instead of resentment. Melt any hardness in my heart and give me the courage to rebuild the relationships I have allowed to go cold in Jesus’ name, Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURAL CONFESSION: Psalm 28:8 (AMP) "The Lord is their [unyielding] Strength, and He is the Stronghold of salvation to [me] His anointed."

Proverbs 24:29 (AMP) "Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for his deed."

The natural tendency to want to revenge and pay evil for evil is very real. However, as a believer, your commitment never to revenge or pay those who hurt or offend you back in their own coin must be stronger. The question now is: How can you practically resist the natural temptation to revenge and embrace the divine expectation to forgive? There are three practical ways to enforce the godly choice of forgiveness:

📍Refrain from directly hurting the person who hurt or offend you - Never directly or indirectly seek to settle scores or get even with the person either by dragging up the past repeatedly or being more domineering, demanding, manipulative and controlling than you are with others or by giving the person the cold shoulder treatment or outright avoidance of contact with the person

📍Refrain from diminishing the person’s image or reputation before others - Shun the temptation to slander, backbite or gossip about the person to others all because you are seeking people’s support.

📍Refrain from continually playing the memories of the wrong in your imagination - This will deliver you from keeping the sense of loss and hurt fresh and real to you and rescue you from becoming actively hostile and toxic to the person while you assume a holier than thou attitude

When you choose to forgive others by bearing the cost of the sin committed against you, you are simply walking in the path of Jesus Christ, your Savior and Lord! - Colossians 3:13

QUESTION: When last did you successfully resist the temptation to revenge?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, reject the thoughts of anger and self pity, remember that you are a forgiven sinner yourself, choose to pray for those who offended you from the heart.

CONCLUSION: Forgiveness is a commitment to bear the cost of the sin committed against you.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 9-11; Proverbs 3

PRAYERS: Father, help me to lay down revenge and choose forgiveness. Give me grace to bless those who hurt me, guard my words, and keep my heart free — just as You have forgiven me in Jesus’ name, Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURAL CONFESSION: Job 22:29 "When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person."

Proverbs 24:29 (AMP) "Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for his deed."

Today’s text is emphasizing the godly and wisdom steps to take when a relationship breaks down. As a believer, forgiveness is the godly and wise thing to do when a relationship breaks down. It is wisdom for you never to go through the route of resentment. Never say: “I’ll do to them as they have done to me”. Deliberately reject that thought. As a matter of fact, the Bible says - do not say it. This is because, to say it is to desire vengeance and this foolish desire always backfires.

For example, the sinful resentment of Cain eventually took him over (Genesis 4:6-7). If someone hurts and offends you and you are responding in the flesh instead of choosing the godly route of forgiveness, the first thing that happens to you is that you begin to hope that that person will be unhappy, then you graduate to saying and doing things deliberately to hurt them and those around them until the evil done to you takes you over, twist your heart and shape you into another person.

Forgiveness is refusing to hold people down in your heart for what they have done against you. The truth is that only God has the right to hold people liable for what they have done against you. It is enough to know that Jesus Christ died to forgive you your infinite debt to Him. Then why is it difficult to forgive others of their finite debt to you (Matthew 18:21-35).

QUESTION: Where has residual resentment toward someone affected your life?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, choose to dissolve your anger against others with a look at Jesus’ dying love on the cross. Eschew irritable and abrasive remarks. These are manifestations of inner resentment.

CONCLUSION: Forgiveness is a wisdom choice.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 7-8; Proverbs 2

PRAYERS: Father, help me to release every resentment and choose forgiveness always. Fill my heart with Your love, and teach me to respond with grace like Jesus in Jesus’ name, Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURAL CONFESSION: Psalm 23:5 (NLT) "You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings."

Proverbs 16:2 (NKJV) "All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits."

Our text today emphasizes the truth that no human being is qualified to successfully judge other people’s motives. This is because only God can truly assess the motives of the heart of man. This does not mean that as believers we cannot evaluate people’s visible character and dispositions or lovingly criticize something about them, however, we cannot make a final condemnation of them because this entails the kind of final knowledge of heart motives that only God has.

While we trust and hope for the best from people according to the biblical principle of love in 1 Corinthians 13:7, we must not however be naive and in the same way, we must not be constantly or habitually suspicious of people or be quick to conclude that their motives are rooted in envy, pride, resentment or greed when in actual fact we cannot really see into their hearts. As a believer, never confuse your capacity to rightly point out wrong behaviors with assuming the ability to completely understand a person’s inner purposes. This will certainly lead to deadly and dangerous conflicts because you will be playing God in the lives of others.

QUESTION: Have you experienced the negative consequences of misreading someone’s motives badly?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, discipline yourself never to conclude on people as if you know the motives of their hearts. Pursue a gracious spirit that gives the benefit of the doubt.

CONCLUSION: Don’t impute motives.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chronicles 6; Proverbs 1

PRAYERS: Heavenly Father, weigh my heart today. Give me wisdom to correct with love, and humility to leave judgment to You. Help me to extend grace where I am tempted to assume in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Proverbs 17:19 "He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction"
Proverbs 26:20-21 "Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases. As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife."

Two critical truths are very clear from today’s texts which are:
📍To love quarrel is tantamount to loving sin - 17:19
📍Peace is far from a community where a quarrelsome person is active and functional.
Quarrelsome people are argumentative in nature. They love
debating mainly because:
▪️They cannot separate essential truths from nonessential issues.
▪️ They are people who find it difficult to admit that they are wrong.
▪️ They need to save face and can never apologize.
▪️ They are irritable, impulsive with caustic comments capable of kindling the fire of strife.
▪️ They believe that being proved right is an exercise in power and not in truth.

Beloved, it is wisdom to focus on Jesus Christ, of whom it was written by Prophet Isaiah as quoted by Matthew 12:19:“He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets “.

QUESTION: Are you a quarrelsome person?

MEDITATION: Henceforth, pursue the development of Jesus’ spirit of goodwill and gentleness so you won’t love a quarrel. Desist from loving arguments either you can win it or not.

CONCLUSION: Don’t love an argument.

DAILY BIBLE READING: 1Chron 1-2; Proverbs 30

PRAYERS: Father, give me a calm heart like Jesus. Help me not to stir strife, but to speak peace, admit when I’m wrong, and always walk in wisdom in Jesus’ name, Amen.
