TOPIC: THE TONGUE OF AN UNSANCTIFIED CHRISTIAN  

TEXT: JAMES 3:6-12 
6. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8. But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12. Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

KEY VERSE: PROVERBS 12:19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 

Many believers engage in lies and corrupt speech, including reputable ministers of the gospel. Imagine these people you honor and wish to be among them, you now see some imperfection, lies, anger among them, then, their glory is destroyed. 

Be perfect because you are the eye of people. Isaiah showed you his own case that as a minister, a prophet, he had unclean lips. But the Lord sanctified him. So, you too, the Lord will sanctify you. 

Another person was Abraham. God chose him and made great promises to him, but he became afraid of death to the point of lying that his wife was his sister. Workers, ministers of the gospel speaking lies! Oh, Jesus, destroy it in their lives. Let the blood of Jesus purge it out of their lives. 

See Sarah, lying between her and God! She said God was not telling the truth; to defend herself. This self-defense is terrible to the point that she denied the revelations and the voice of God on her it. No, I did not lie; I did not say it like that. God said, ‘By this time next year, Sarah shall embrace a son.’ 

And Sarah laughed! ‘Why is Sarah laughing saying, can an old woman like me and an old man like Abraham give birth to a child? Why is Sarah saying so? I am God. Is there anything too difficult for me?’ Instead of Sarah to keep quiet, that thing that moves people to tell lies moved her. Come, Sarah, why did you not keep quiet? It is the power of lie, the inbred sin.

Adamic nature, even when you have come to God, even when you have been given a prominent position, it is still making you to tell lies. ‘No, I did not say so.’ Who told you that you should speak? Self-justification! The Lord said, No, you said so. 

Sarah was convicted. Without conviction, how will your sins be forgiven? This thing that you are always denying, how will your sins be forgiven? How can you then be cleansed?

Thought for the day: An unsanctified tongue will destroy your glory 

Song for the day: Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 25-27

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.  Sunday 16th November  Text: Acts 16: 9-10 Key verse: Mark 16: 20 “And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following, Amen.” Continuation of revelation of Brother Dieudonne:  The Lord said, “I am here to gather My people before the trumpet sounds. My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
