YOUR WORDS 2

Text : Mathew. 12:37.

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

 *If His words become your word, then your world will take a meaningful shape.* 

Psalms 119:105 says Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my pathway. *Without His word, you will lack direction in life and without His word, you will lack vision to navigate through life.* 

David showed us how this word could be applied, he said ```In my heart I have hidden your word, that I might not sin against you``` . This goes to show that whoever  refuses to hide (keep) God's word in his heart will keep sinning against God.

As a matter of fact, your real self is revealed by your heart. That is why proverbs 23:7 says _as a man thinks in his heart, so is he_ . 
Also, Proverbs  4:23 says _Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life._ 

Your words can only be seasoned with salt and grace when your heart is right with God.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.Col 4:6.

Bible Reading  : Luke 23:39-43.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, forgive me of every idle words I have spoken.

2.  Father, please cleanse my heart so it can truly retain your words.

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...
