Death and Life in the Power of the Tongue

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.
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

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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
