1. Appropriate Words: words that come naturally, that run smoothly upon wheels, that are not forced, and that are without design to hurt are like apples of gold upon carving silver.

2. Reproving Words: words of a wise reprover to an obedient ear like the most beautiful and cherished ornaments of fine gold to a refined and beautiful woman.

3. Refreshing Words: words of a faithful messenger are a refreshing and satisfying as a drink cooled by the snow in the heat of the harvest labor.

4. Vain Words: words of the boaster are as disappointing as clouds without rain.

5. Kind Words: by words of kindness, understanding, and longsuffering a judge is persuaded- as easily as a soft answer overcomes obstinacy in others.

Remember your words shape your life. Choose right words everyday. Close your ear from bad words.

The way we conduct our affairs at our business, at work, and at home is the key to prosperity.  No more can we be led by the flesh and expect for God to bless us.  When we operate under the flesh, we cannot do the things that we should, as it says in Galatians 5:17 (“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”)

Christians, whether they are business owners or have jobs, learn through a relationship with Jesus how to treat people.  If we follow his example, then we should begin to see major changes in our lives and more profits in our business, regardless of the times in which we are living.  We need wisdom in order to do this.  Wisdom involves doing the right things at the right time with the right people.

Proverbs 2:6 says, “For the Lord giveth wisdom; out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”  If we study the life of Jesus, we will see that he had wisdom, knowledge and understand.  We must begin to act with wisdom, and gain knowledge and understanding of our business, our circumstances, and the people with whom we come into contact.  We can no longer continue operating under the flesh, but with righteousness judgment and equity in our dealings, (Proverbs 2:9).  We must make a conscious radical change in our thinking and in our actions.  God’s wisdom must operate in all of our decisions. 

If we lack the wisdom, we can pray for it.  James 1:5 says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him.”  No matter what walk of life you come from, you can change it by making a conscious effort to walk in wisdom.  The early settlers of the United States taught students how to run a business using the book of Proverbs,which contains many rules for making sound business decisions.

The insults, the lack of consideration for others, the pride, the selfishness, the jealousy and selfish ambition have to stop.  God does not bless this behavior, he hates it.  We have to find ways of showing grace to others who are falling short, because that is how God treats us.

I am noticing some changes in my own life because of this and I am looking forward to even more blessings as I acquire more of God’s wisdom.  This is possible for everyone regardless of your walk in life because “God is no respecter of persons” and we are sons and daughters of God.  Obedience to his commands will bring us into receiving his promises.  We have to begin to do the things that he requires of us.

All this is admitted by everyone. Yet no other method of testing students on a mass scale has yet been devised. So, examinations have become a necessary evil! If there were no examinations, it is likely that the majority of students would not bother to study at all. We would never be able to separate the brilliant students from the average ones. Then whom would we select for higher professional training?.

We expect a handsome person to behave in a genteel way. We are pained and surprised when such person turns out to be rude and mean. On the other hand, a person with plain, simple, ordinary looks can behave quite endearingly and you can learn to love and respect that person more than you would a stunningly attractive person. So, never judge a book by its cover, but by its content.

All of us are humans. We all have our weaknesses.No human being is prefect. So when someone does a wrong to us, why can’t we forgive them? When someone hurts  us it is because that person is human and little understands the harm that he or she is causing. Forgiving that person brings out the god-like nature that lies in man.It is not very easy to do, but once we do it, we will feel an inner peace and the spirit of reconciliation
