DON’T TALK TOO MUCH

TEXT: Proverbs 10:19.

“Transgression is at work where people talk too much, but anyone who holds his tongue is prudent.”

One important area you must intentionally work on in this new phase of your life is the use of your tongue. 

Many destinies have been delayed, damaged, or completely diverted simply because of uncontrolled speech. If you truly desire to move to your next level, you must overcome the mountain of excessive talking and careless words.

Talking too much can easily lead to saying the wrong things at the wrong time. *When words are not measured, wisdom often disappears, and sin finds an open door.* 

The tongue is small, yet it has the power to build or destroy, to bless or to wound, and to attract favor or invite trouble.

Proverbs 17:28 reminds us of that, “ *Even a fool is thought to be wise when he remains silent; he is considered discerning when he holds his tongue.”* 

Silence, when necessary, is not weakness, it is wisdom. Knowing when to speak and when to keep quiet is a mark of maturity and self-control.

A person who can control his tongue demonstrates a high level of discipline and spiritual growth. 

James 3:2 expresses this truth clearly:
 *“For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.”* 

When you master your speech, you are on the path to mastering other areas of your life as well.
Let your words be few, thoughtful, and seasoned with grace. 

Speak to encourage, to guide, and to glorify God, not merely to be heard. Remember, once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

James 3:1-12.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, please grant me the grace to speak graceful and edifying words at all times 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...
