by Pastor Adekoya LEARN PATIENCE ALONGSIDE WITH DILIGENCE 21:5 KJV: The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. ESV: The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. In waging war against poverty, diligence is...
by Pastor Adekoya We have a number of “Proverbs” reiterated here almost verbatim as they were in the previous chapter 19. Interestingly, my yesterday’s review on Proverbs 19 was centered mostly on them. Scripturally speaking, two or three witnesses authenticate the veracity of thing/case/situation.
