Did you know that Saturday’s readings are explained on all our weekly Praylist’s, i.e., following our prayers below? After all, these 18 years, then I thought I’d mention that.
![]()
Next week’s reading is: The Book of Proverbs 12:1-14, CONTRASTING THE UPRIGHT AND THE WICKED. You might wish to prepare in advance, the Word is exciting. 
? “if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.” (Matt 18:19), “One of you shall chase a thousand, but two of you will shall chase ten thousand.” (Deut. 32:30) These are your prayers from Sat., September 27, 2025, verbatim. These prayers are confidential, please do not reveal content outside the MPB circle. We wish to hear from you, we want to pray for you, so please send your news and prayers and we will post them next week. Dearest God, Abba, our Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, forgive us our sins. We ask that you hear our prayers, that you answer them as You have done so many times over the years for the faithful, the brothers of the Men’s Prayer Breakfast for all our brothers and sisters everywhere. These prayers, collectively are being prayed by all of us this week ,in the precious name of our Lord, our Savior and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who taught us to “pray, then, in this way: Our Father….Amen. Thanks be to God! FORGIVE US ALL OUR SINS.
? “I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.” (Romans 5:30).
Brother and Sisters, Please observe the purpose of the “Praylist”, that being, we pray these prayers together each week till you receive the next one. Praying together daily and consistently is so powerful knowing our hearts are bound one unto the other seeking God’s help in all ourlives. After I post them, I then pray over them when I burn them on a rock in my yard.
? “Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks. For that thy name is near thy wondrous works.” September 27, 2025, Proverbs, Chapter Proverbs 11:16-31, A GOD SHAPPED LIFE: What does your life mean, to you, to others? Have you ever given that any thought? If you have decided to follow Jesus then you realize how important your life is. If you have not yet decided, then you are missing out on a great deal of what is out there for you to enjoy. Food for thought?! Because you are reading this now, then there must be a spark that might ignite some interest in what Solomon is talking about in these verses; today might be the day you change your life. Change it for the better! So, hmm, let’s see how this half of Proverbs 11 teaches us to live life (each Proverb is stated firstly by the New International Version, then secondly, by The Message Bible for clarity and understanding): “16 A kindhearted woman gains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.” vs.“16 A woman of gentle grace (grace is God's unmerited, undeserved favor that is freely given to humanity, and is not based on human effort or worthiness, therefore she) gets respect, but men of rough violence grab for loot.” What is character? Well, first of all, it is the possession and application daily of the fruit of the Spirit-i.e., Cluster 1) love, joy, peace. Cluster 2) forbearance, kindness, goodness. Cluster 3) faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23). This wonderful woman who could be our own mom whom we all love so; we can add to her, the pursuit of truth, godliness, righteousness, meekness, compassion, thankfulness, forgiveness, contentment, and unity; she is everlasting. You might be blessed with a wonderful popa too, PTL, a loving parent is not gender specific, but they are equally wonderful. Ruthless men are as temporary as is the wealth they acquire; their treasure is not that of the eternal, and certainly not that of the love Jesus speaks to, no, it is centered upon greed, power and cruelty only for accumulation sake. Solomon contrasts grace/kindness vs. the superficial and morally bankrupt. This proverb suggests that true and enduring worth comes from integrity and compassion, not the mere accumulation of wealth, and at it’s worst through forceful means of those who are in want, that they are really seen so ugly. “17 Those who are kind benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.” vs. “17 When you’re kind to others, you help yourself; when you’re cruel to others, you hurt yourself.” (kindness goes a long way, so does cruelty; they are both in opposition to the another as well as extremes; the heart is seen and received by all). “18 A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.” vs. “18 Bad work gets paid with a bad check; good work gets solid pay.” (the wages of the wicked are hollow, applied without good purpose that often gets them into more trouble, while the righteous apply them for good reason and purpose that is substantial and lasting; it is living the TRUE prosperity that is fundamentally in thanksgiving in the Fear of God). “19 Truly the righteous attain life, but whoever pursues evil finds death.” vs.“19 Take your stand with God’s loyal community and live, or chase after phantoms of evil and die.” (These are two paths leading to a crossroad, one needy for to make your own choice; 1) Follow God and life will be everlasting. 2) Follow the “Big Easy” and life will be for your moment; your moment that promises death and torment - what you work for, you get). “20 The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless (those of integrity and virtue)” vs. “20 God can’t stand deceivers, but oh how he relishes integrity. (to be perverse is to show a deliberate or an obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of its consequences; the Lord does not like people like that, but he loves the blameless [to live in moral integrity, completeness, and a sincere heart toward God] because they focus their intentions and motivations on moral choices that profoundly affect their life and others). “21 Count on this: The wicked won’t get off scot-free, and God’s loyal people will triumph.” vs. “21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.” (God is telling us, justice will be served, that all guilty parties will not go unpunished; on the other hand, God’s obedient and loyal children are victors today and always, saved are they from death and blessed forever after in comfort and hope, for their faithfulness). “22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.” vs. “22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful face on an empty head.” (Why waste gold on a pig? Why, of all places, would anyone, with any sense at all, place a gold ring in his snout? There is no way to make a pig beautiful or a woman if she is so ugly that she makes your bones rot. Either way, physical beauty is diminished without inner beauty-i.e., beautiful qualities like good judgment, wisdom, integrity, and proper behavior; outward beauty is worthless without a solid, valuable, and appropriate foundation). “23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.” vs. “23 The desires of good people lead straight to the best, but wicked ambition ends in angry frustration.” (in the long run, the winners are always those who play by the rules of the game; cheating ends in frustration and dishonor … good yields more good, bad behavior and bad motivation yield nothingness and disappointment … we reap what we sow!). “24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.” vs. “24 The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.” (John Cassandra gave his testimony about giving; his is a story of humble beginnings, even did he once need a co-signer but today his giving is guided by abiding in the Fear of God-i.e., the principals of stewardship, humility, and prudence when making thoughtful, consistent, and even sacrificial gifts. Giving highlights a paradox; prosperity can come from giving portions of your prosperity to others, without reservation or expectation of return; withholding leads to loss, or even poverty - God’s economy rewards giving. Give what you can; you’ll see interesting things happen in your life). Amen, John. Thank you. “25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” vs. “25 The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.” (I think verse 24 goes hand-in-hand with this one; won’t you agree?). “26 People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.” vs. “26 Curses on those who drive a hard bargain! Blessings on all who play fair and square!” (hoarding is being greedy, but sharing, even if by selling, benefits everyone; no one likes those who withhold beyond their needs-i.e., for themselves only when there is plenty enough to go round-for-all, and more). “27 Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.” vs. “27 The one who seeks good finds delight; the student of evil becomes evil.” (good things happen for good people, so do bad things, but, at times, the bad stuff is to learn by, so that God will bring the good to us; evil is harmful and will hurt others and bring harm upon ourselves). “28 Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.” vs. “28 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.” (to place your trust in wealth is fatefully errant; wealth against eternity is hollow, worthless, so why would anyone want to put all their trust in something worthless … wealth with faith is life everlasting – wealth without faith, is dead. That is not to say you have to have wealth to have eternal life, no, indeed that is not so; it’s just a proverb concerning wealth that Solomon, and God, wants for the wealthy to consider). “29 Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.” vs. “29 Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air; common sense tells you it’s a stupid way to live.” (Stupid is the inability to conceive intellectually effectively, its contraction is discredited by others and is often without dignity. The fool may be stupid to suppose not the common sense to see his error. If we don’t bring harmony to our own family, then like the wind, we will be as it I blown away into emptiness and loss. All our actions have consequences, severe enough to make us servitude, or even, slave.). “30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.” vs. “30 A good life is a fruit-bearing tree; a violent life destroys souls.” (the essence of the upright is gain for all of us … evil doesn’t work that way; it buries us alive (Psalm 55:15) as to be trapped and suffocating in own wickedness, or “hoisted by your own petard”-i.e., harmed by our own plans, trap, or scheme that can destroy, or kill us and others.). “31 If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!” vs. “31 If good people barely make it, what’s in store for the bad!” (Good and bad are not equal bed partners; at extremes is its judgment also – compare eternal life to eternal damnation, or joy is to misery to see and know; how much more is one to the other-e.g., see Lazarus and the rich man …now you know!). You don’t have to memorize these Proverbs. When you experience them in your everyday life, you’ll be prepared because they’ll kick in for you, when and where, as needed, because they were important enough for you to have, at least, read them. You will be surprised when God speaks to you about dealing with them; you’ll be as wise as Solomon’s wisdom, but now it is yours to apply. Amen.
