Death and Life in the Power of the Tongue 

Sunday 20th July 

Text: Luke 9:52-56 
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.  
The Bible reveals that there is power in the tongue of every man. This is because man is made in the image of God. The tongue, mouth or word of God contains unthinkable power. The power in the tongue of man is of two kinds, the power of good and evil, blessing and cursing, life and death. The Bible shows that these two kinds of power are in the tongue of man. Man can invoke either of these by the use of his tongue and reap the reward of good or evil, blessing or cursing, life or death. Jesus reiterated this truth in the New Testament when He said that the word spoken by man can bring justification (blessing and life) or condemnation (curse and death) God knows the power of the tongue or spoken word and so encourages men to speak good words to themselves and others, words of life and blessing. He commanded men not to speak evil against one another, not to curse one another. 
Matthew 5: 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Romans 12: 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Titus 3:22 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 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 on 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. When James and John wanted to curse the Samaritans of a particular city for not allowing Jesus to pass through the place to Jerusalem, Jesus rebuked them and warned them against such evil. 
Thought for the day: Death and life are in the power of the tongue 
Song for the day: Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 20-24

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
