THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

God bless you for taking your time to study.

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE 

SATURDAY DECEMBER 10th 

TEXT: JAMES 3:1-11 
Key verse: Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 
Bible reveals that there is power in the tongue of every man because man is made in the image of God. This power is of two kinds, the power of good and evil, blessing and cursing, and life and death. “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse” (Deuteronomy 11:26) Man can invoke either one of these power by the use of his tongue and reap the reward thereof. Jesus reiterated this truth in the New Testament when He said that the word spoken by man can bring justification or condemnation in Matthew 12: 37 “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned” God commands men not to speak evil against one another, not to curse one another. 
Bible accounts and the contemporary world reveal the disastrous effects of the curse men have placed on one another: on families, lands, cities, etc. Men have sent their fellow men to eternal damnation and deprived them of the privilege of living longer to become possibly born again through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The reasons for the curses placed on one another are not worthy to be compared with the resultant effects of these curses. Should a man die because he affected your physical body, finances, or material things in this life? 
Many Christians and ministers of God decree evil upon the lives of men and rejoice when these come to pass, thinking God has justified their word and answered their prayers. Let it be known that our God is not a murderer: For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Those who curse their fellow men and destroy the precious souls of men shall be judged as wicked ones and murderers! Follow biblical principles of how to treat your enemies and concentrate your battle against Satan and his evil powers and not on the destruction of your fellow men.

Thought for the day: Speak gracious words to your fellow men. 

Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart O Lord, and renew a right spirit... 

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 5-8; Revelation 1

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
