Some of the things that you do may not be evil in themselves but can cause others to stumble. Therefore, for the sake of others who Christ died for, we must be mindful of what we do or say, considering the impact it will have on them. Every heaven-bound child of God must ensure that their good works are not evil spoken of: considering other people in all that they do.

There are only two voices that speak to men, namely the voice of wisdom and the voice of folly. While the voice of wisdom calls men to understanding, reproves scorners, rebukes and instructs the wise, the voice of folly calls men away from the path of life and righteousness. Every believer must therefore, learn how to discern the voice of folly, to avoid ending their pilgrimage in hell. 

There are secrets in the Scriptures that will enable believers to serve God acceptably when they are revealed. Although these secrets are there in the Word of God, only those who search the Scriptures diligently will discover and profit from them. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter - Proverbs 25:2.

What pressures are you facing right now that appears to be unbearable? You can avoid making Esau's mistake by comparing the long-range consequences of an action with its short-term satisfaction before you act. Esau acted rather rashly without diligently considering the consequences of selling his birthright to Jacob for a mess of pottage. This connotes shortsightedness and misplaced priorities.

Whatever you hear that does not align with the word of God must be treated as a lie. Besides speaking through others, the devil can also manipulate your health condition, imaginations, thoughts, situations and circumstances, against the counsel of God for your life. Always check to know the spirit behind every voice that speaks to you - 1 John 4:1.
