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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
