WORDS



Text : Matthew 12:37

 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Your words are the expressions of your personality. Your words tell who you really are. The scripture says that justification or condemnation comes through your words. The two thieves by the sides of Jesus during his crucifixion revealed how true your words can either justify or condemn.
While the thief by the left hand side of Jesus got himself eternal damnation through his words, the thief by the right hand was justified by His words. Luke 23: 43-49. The very first man that got the promise of Paradise in the new testament was a criminal. He got justified through his words.

Today, you can also get justification with the right use of words. Romans 10:10. Most of the offences you commit are done through words(tongue). God's word stated it clearly that in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. (James 3:2). "..He that does not offend in word is a perfect man...." 

Many wars start with words. Many marriages and homes have been broken by words; many lives have been shattered by words. Your words can be instrument of Peace, war, justification or condemnation. The choice is always yours. 

Make a decision to always speak the right words either to yourself or to your hearers.

Words are seed, you will surely reap what you sow.


Bible Reading : Luke 23: 43-49

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
