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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
