*A CAPABLE, ENTREPRENEURIAL WOMAN*

*Golden Text:* “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”
— Proverbs 31:10, NIV

*Text: Proverbs 31:10–22*

[10] A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

[11] Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

[12] She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

[13] She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

[14] She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

[15] She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.

[16] She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

[17] She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

[18] She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.

[19] In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

[20] She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

[21] When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

[22] She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

Belinda Gates is an American businesswoman and philanthropist who co-founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Bill and Melinda Foundation works to solve health problems of people around the world.

Her capability and commitment as an entrepreneurial woman have not only helped her immediate family but also contributed to assuaging society's health problems.

The passage presented a portrait of a noble and capable entrepreneurial woman, emphasising her preciousness in her skilful and productive lifestyle, and her devotion to the wellbeing of her household.

She is an asset contributing spiritually, emotionally and financially to her family.

Her home becomes a centre of ministry, reaching out to the poor, training her children and domestic workers in true and kind service.

Her husband and children receive joy and are honoured because of her noble character in her society, as she is a good example to other women.

In today's morally corrupt world, we need capable, productive and godly women who can influence their family and society positively and in the way of the Lord.

A true woman of virtue is not a liability but an asset in God's hands.

What kind of person are you becoming for your family and society?

*Insight:* A noble and entrepreneurial woman is useful and valuable in the hands of God.

*Prayer:* God, I pray for grace to be an asset and not a liability to my family and the society in Jesus' name.

*GOD SEES AND REWARDS HOSPITALITY*

*Golden Text:* "But the woman became pregnant, and the next year, about that same time, she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her." — 2 Kings 4:17, NIV

*Text: 2 Kings 4:8-17, 25*

[8] One day, Elisha went to Shunem. A rich woman lived there. She asked Elisha to eat a meal with her family. So every time that he travelled near her house, he stopped there to eat a meal.

[9] Then the woman said to her husband, ‘Listen! I believe that this man who often eats with us is a holy man who serves God.

[10] We should make a small room on the roof of our house for him. We can put a bed, a table, a chair and a lamp in the room. Then, when he comes to visit us, he can stay there.’

[11] One day, Elisha came to Shunem again. He went up to the room on the roof. He lay down to rest there.

[12] He told Gehazi, his servant, ‘Ask the woman to come here.’ So Gehazi did that. The woman came and she stood in front of Elisha.

[13] Elisha said to Gehazi, ‘Say to her, “You have done a lot to take care of us. So what can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king, or to the officer who leads the army?” ’ The woman replied, ‘I live here safely among my own people.’

[14] But Elisha asked Gehazi again, ‘What can we do to help her?’ Gehazi said, ‘She has no son. But her husband is an old man.’

[15] Elisha said, ‘Ask her to come here.’ When Gehazi did that, she came and she stood near the door.

[16] Elisha said to her, ‘About this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms.’ The woman said, ‘No, my master! You are a man of God. Please do not tell me lies.’

[17] But the woman did become pregnant. At that time next year she gave birth to a son. Elisha had said that this would happen.

[25] So the woman went to see Elisha, the man of God, at Mount Carmel. Elisha saw her when she was a long way away. He said to his servant Gehazi, ‘Look! There is the woman from Shunem!

A young couple once opened their small home to some missionaries who needed a place to stay. They shared their food and even gave up their bedroom for them to sleep.

Years later, when the couple fell on hard times, the same missionaries connected them with opportunities that completely changed their lives.

Today's text emphasises the significance of hospitality through the hospitable acts of the Shunammite woman to the prophet of God, Elisha.

The woman was rich, and she put her riches into practice. She was very sensitive to the needs of the man of God and did not close her eyes towards them.

With advice, she and her husband welcomed Elisha into their home and provided him with a furnished shelter and good food to eat whenever he came around doing the work of ministry.

Their hospitality and generosity towards him propelled God to reward them with a child they had long desired through the pronouncement of Elisha.

We live in a dangerous world where hospitality has become scarce due to fear. Still, as believers, God wants us to be hospitable to everyone.

When we engage in making others comfortable, God will also take care of our needs and reward us with good return.

*Insight:* The act of hospitality moves God to action. Be hospitable to people, God sees and rewards.

*Prayer:* God, I plead for grace and wisdom to be hospitable in this hostile world in Jesus' name.

*STEWARDS OF GOD’S GOOD GIFTS*

*Golden Text:* "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
— 1 Peter 4:10 NIV.

*Text: 1 Peter 4: 7-11*

[7] The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

[8] Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

[9] Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

[10] Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

[11] If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

I read a story about a lady named Sarah. She was a gifted musician who sang to the glory of God.

Many people who come to worship in the church receive edification and healing.

As an exceptional musician in the church, she became proud and abandoned singing to God’s glory, but decided to use her gifts solely for personal recognition and financial gain, forgetting the God who entrusted it to her. Instead of remaining a faithful steward, she misused her gift.

Apostle Peter encouraged his audience to live for God and people wholeheartedly as a matter of necessity.

The passage depicts that every believer is gifted with one gift or another, and each gift is given to serve and glorify God.

Believers are to use these gifts, including spiritual and material gifts, diligently and faithfully to minister to one another at all seasons.

What gift has God given you for the service of the people and the church? How are you using the gift?

Is it for self-recognition or God’s glory? We must discharge the gift of the word we have received and share the material gifts given to us by God as good stewards. May God use us for His glory.

*Insight:* Stewardship is good when God’s gifts are used according to the master’s will and direction.

*Prayer:* Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful steward of Your good gifts in Jesus’ name.

*CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED*

*Golden Text:*"But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it."
— 2 Timothy 3:14, NIV

*Text: 2 Timothy 3:10-11, 14-16*

[10] You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,

[11] persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.

[14] But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,

[15] and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

[16] All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

A devout disciple named Jack Nike was deeply influenced by his spiritual leader, Father John, a wise and compassionate Monk.

After the demise of Father John, Jack continued to spread his teachings, establish a community, and inspire others through his own life, service and contemplation with commitment and without shame.

In this passage, Paul wrote to his son, Timothy, to warn him against false teachers who twisted the truth of the gospel and their teachings, which were scattered everywhere as impostors corrupting the gospel.

He encouraged Timothy to continue his sound teaching, godly life, faith, patience, and conduct just as he had learned from him and his godly family from childhood.

Paul told Timothy to avoid corrupt teachers and remain faithful to the sacred writing he has learned from, which is profitable for all things.

Today, many are led astray by popular voices rather than godly examples.

As believers, we must be careful about who we learn from and also ensure that the teaching we listen to align with God's word.

We must also hold on to the truth of Christ and live it out, so that others can also learn from it and be transformed.

*Insight:* You are only a disciple of Jesus if you continue to teach and live like Him.

*Prayer:* God, help me to continue teaching the message of the Bible I have received in Jesus' name.

*THANKFUL FOR ESTABLISHED FAITH*

*Golden Text:* I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 2 Timothy 1:3, NIV

*Text: 2 Timothy 1:1–16*

[1] Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

[2] To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

[3] I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.

[4] Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.

[5] I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

[6] For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

[7] For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

[8] So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.

[9] He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

[10] but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

[11] And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.

[12] That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

[13] What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

[14] Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

[15] You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

[16] May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.

When a young lady who lived a wayward life was sharing her experience, she admitted that her parents never modelled faith, and this lack of spiritual foundation affected her choices.

Looking back, she lamented how much her life might have been different if she had grown up in a faith filled home.

In contrast, many young people today who had the blessings of godly parents still abandon their heritage and chase after godly living.

Today’s passage explains how Apostle Paul thanked God for the life of Timothy’s mother, Lois, and grandmother, Eunice, who established Timothy in faith.

Timothy’s sincere faith brought joy to Paul and he encouraged him not to abandon the faith entrusted to him.

Timothy was challenged to be a witness and a good testimony to others without shame

Many young people today, unlike the lady in our introduction, some benefited so much from the faith of their parents and yet have abandoned it for the frivolities of life.

Like Timothy, we must continue in the faith established through our parents.

Believers from Christian home must treasure and continue in the faith they received.

And for those who lack this privilege, it is never too late to begin one.

Excuse must not hinder anyone from walking faithfully with God.

*Insight:* An established faith needs to be increased to become a working faith.

*Prayer:* God, I need your grace to increase my faith into a working faith in Jesus' name.

*MAKE GOD KNOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS*

*Golden Text:*"...Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and their children after them."
— Deuteronomy 4:9, NIV

*Text: Deuteronomy 4:9-13*

[9] Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

[10] Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.”

[11] You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.

[12] Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice.

[13] He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.

In an African setting, the elderly ensure that they pass down their traditions to the next generation for continuity.

When such traditions are transferred, the younger generation is expected to uphold the knowledge given with sanctity for their good in any society.

In today's text, Moses reminded the children of Israel to pass down the knowledge of God to their children and generations to come.

He told them it was the parent's responsibility to pass down this knowledge to their children, and the children's responsibility to obey, and live by God's word in all their lives.

The text affirms that the generational passing down of God's truth would help them to remain faithful in the midst of a corrupt world.
As believers, there is knowledge in God's word.

We must not only hear it, but also treasure it, meditate on it, and share it with others, especially the next generation.

If we truly desire a righteous society, the knowledge of God must remain central in every home and every heart. God's word is capable of keeping us safe in this corrupt world.

*Insight:* To preserve the generations to come, the knowledge of God's word is necessary.

*Prayer:* O Lord, help me to keep the knowledge of God I have received to preserve my soul in Jesus' name.

*Golden Text:* "But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father, he has served with me in the work of the gospel." — Philippians 2:22, NIV.

*Text: Philippians 2:19-24*

[19] I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.

[20] I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.

[21] For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

[22] But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

[23] I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

[24] And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

When a large company was seeking for someone to manage a key branch, they did not look for the most educated nor the most outspoken, they chose someone who had consistently proven to be trustworthy, hardworking, and dependable.

The CEO said, "we are handling him this position not just because he is good at his job, but because he is a man of character. He earned our trust."

In today's text, Paul wrote to the church in Philippi to tell them that they should continue with the work they had started.

Since the purpose of his message was to cheer and edify the church, a person with the credentials of worthy character and life was required, and Paul confirmed Timothy to be one.

Paul further testifies that his son, Timothy, has proven to be a worthy and trusted son through his genuine interest in the matters of Christ and the welfare of others.

Paul added that there was no one like Timothy, who was excellent in character and life, to advance the ministry work in Philippi.

As children of God in a world of self-seekers, we must stand out in selflessness and worthiness of life and character, serving as examples for every child of God in Christian living. We must live consistently in godliness and serve others wholeheartedly.

*Insight:* Trust worthiness is shown by genuine and consistent character.

*Prayer:* God, please bless me with an excellent spirit to be a worthy and trusted servant in Jesus' name.

In our fast-paced world, it is common to overlook or undervalue the wisdom of parents.

Reliance on technology and modern solutions can lead us to forget the profound insights from those who have walked the path before us.

Yet, parental advice, shaped by experience and love, remains a timeless resource for guidance and understanding.

Today's text encourages us to heed our parent wisdom: "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old."

The text emphasises the importance of learning and respecting our parents' guidance and teachings.

It reminds us that the lessons and values they impart are not only rooted in love but also in experience that can guide us through life's challenges.

Honouring their wisdom fosters gratitude and shapes our character by helping us to grow into responsible and thoughtful individuals.

Applying this Scripture means actively seeking and valuing our parents' wisdom.

Even as adults, there is much to learn from their experiences and perspectives.

By their teachings, we enrich our lives with insights to guide us through various challenges.

This attitude fosters humility and gratitude, strengthens family bonds, and helps us grow in wisdom and character.

*Insight:* Honouring and learning from our parents enriches our lives with wisdom and deepens family bonds.

*Prayer:* Lord, help me to honour my parents and value their wisdom in Jesus' name.

*LISTEN TO WISE INSTRUCTION*

*Golden Text:* "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7, NIV

*Text: Proverbs 1:1-9*

[1] The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

[2] for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;

[3] for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair;

[4] for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—

[5] let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—

[6] for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

[7] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

[8] Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

[9] They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.

In daily life, we constantly face decisions. Whether in navigating personal relationships, career choices, or finances, the advice we receive significantly impacts our outcomes.

We often seek counsel from those we trust, recognising that wise instruction can clarify complex situations and guide us toward the right path.

Today's passage examines the importance of seeking and heeding wise instruction.

The passage begins with a declaration of purpose: for gaining wisdom, instruction, and for understanding words of insight.

Gaining true wisdom starts with a healthy respect and reverence to God.

Solomon encourages believers to actively seek instructions from those who are knowledgeable, godly.

He added that listening to wise counsel shapes not just our characters but also help us to grow spiritually, and equip us to make decisions that honour God.

Seeking advice from godly mentors and equipping ourselves with God's Word, the ultimate source of wisdom is crucial for growth and maturity in our spiritual journey.

By reverencing God and valuing the counsel of wise individuals, we position ourselves to make the decisions that lead us to fruitful lives.

Embracing wisdom will help us to overcome life's challenges with confidence, reflecting God's character in all we do. Let us listen and heed to wise instruction.

*Insight:* True wisdom begins with reverence for the Lord.

*Prayer:* Lord, grant me the humility to seek and heed wise instruction in Jesus' name.
