ARE YOU SPEAKING HIS MIND?

TEXT: Job 42:7.

After these words had been spoken by the LORD to Job, the LORD spoke to Eliphaz from Teman: “My anger is burning against you along with your two friends, since you haven’t spoken correctly about me, as did my servant Job.

Have you taken time to carefully read the book of Job? When you do, you will notice how eloquently and intelligently Job’s friends spoke during his season of trials.

Their speeches sounded wise and logical. In fact, many of their statements are often quoted today because they appear profound and philosophical.

Yet, at the end of the entire ordeal, when God Himself stepped in to judge the matter, He plainly declared that these men had not spoken correctly about Him. 

Their words, though polished and persuasive, did not truly represent the heart or the mind of God.

This passage is a strong reminder that *sounding spiritual is not the same as being spiritually accurate.*  It is possible to speak confidently, quote scriptures, and still misrepresent God’s intentions. 

Many times, people assume they are defending God or working for Him, yet they act or speak from personal opinions, emotions, or incomplete understanding.

We must therefore strive to seek God’s wisdom before drawing conclusions about situations, especially those involving other people’s struggles. 

 *True spirituality is not measured  by eloquence but by alignment with God's truth and compassion.* 

 *Before you speak* *about God, speak for God, or speak on behalf of God, be sure that God has spoken to you on such matters.* 

Pause and ask:
“Am I truly expressing His heart, or merely expressing my own thoughts?”

 *BIBLE READING:* 

 Lamentation 3:31-37.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, Please open my spiritual eyes to understand your mind on every matter and to represent you with love
and humility in Jesus name.

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...

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
