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.

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...
