YOUR WORDS

Text : Mathew 12:37.

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

 *Words are powerful, but not many are living in the consciousness of its power.*  
Every war starts with words. Proverbs 15:1. Even the heaven and the earth were created by words. 

Pro 18:21 says Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 

Expressly,  our text says your words (not God's) will be the reason you are either justified or condemned. Invariably, your fate is in your hands.

When Jesus was crucified, two thieves were equally nailed alongside our Lord. One on His right the other on the left. 

They were both sentenced to death for the crimes they had committed, but by reason of their words, one was eternally condemned while the other received eternal pardon. Luke 23:43.

The question is,  what will it cost the other thief to simply say something good so he can be pardoned too?
Or let's assume he made a mistake with his initial utterance,  but after Jesus had promised the other criminal access to paradise,  what will it cost him to immediately beg for his place in paradise too?

Well, what will it cost you to say good things with your mouth? *What will it cost you to secure your justification by your words?* 

The answer is very simple, *your words are not just combinations of letters or syllables,  your words are functions of the content of your heart.*

 *A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.* (Mathew:12:35). Everyone speaks from the abundance of his heart.

Jesus Christ says   Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. (Matthew  12:33).

For you to speak words that can lead to your justification, your heart must be full of His words. Feed on the word and meditate on it.

This set of instructions is not to cease being a part of your conversations. Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to carry out everything that’s written in it, for then you’ll prosper and succeed.(Joshua 1:8).

Bible Reading  : Luke 23:39-43.

 *PRAYER POINT* 

1. Father Lord, purge my heart, that good and justifiable  words may always flow from it.

2. Lord, help me to keep my mouth from speaking condemnable 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...
