WORDS

Text : Matthew 12:37.

Because by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Words are very important. The heaven and the earth were created by words - the word of God. Hebrews 11:3 says, Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. The things we can see now were made by words which we cannot see.

Now, you can say this is the word of God, and that is why it is that potent. However, the same word of God says, by your own words you will either be justified or condemned. Matthew 12:37.

Your words are important, and your words are powerful. Proverbs 18:21 says, *Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.* That is, with your words, you can reap either life or death.

With his words, the thief on the right hand of God received everlasting life at the point of death through his words. (Luke 23:40-43).

This goes to say that you can also receive your own miracle and alter your world by your word.

 *Bible reading:*

 Matthew 4:1-11.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

Father, I receive the grace to look into what is written concerning me in your word and to live by them.

As a matter of important, salvation process is not complete until you confess with your mouth. Romans 10:10 says, *For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.*  To be saved, you must believe with your heart the Lord Jesus, and you must confess with your mouth your sin and your acceptance of His Lordship.

This is why it is commonly said that your world is shaped by your words.

Let's hear the conclusion of this matter from 1Peter 3:10,  “For the person who wants to love life   and see good days   must keep his tongue from evil   and his lips from speaking deceit.

From today, learn to choose your words very carefully. Say only what you desire to see in your life here on earth and in your life hereafter.

 *Bible Reading* 

Luke 23:35-43.

 *Prayer Focus* 

Father LORD, set a guard over my mouth and keep watch over the door to my lips in Jesus name.

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...
