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...

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
