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

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
