THE TONGUE

JUNE 8TH – CAPSULE 8

TOPIC: THE TONGUE

BIBLE TEXT: PROVERBS 13 VS 3 – He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

It is wise to watch your tongue in every conversation. Every child of God should desire true wisdom that is from above, for by it God Our Father and Christ Jesus operate in. Wisdom teaches the tongue how to operate, speak and keep silent. A certain man lived many years ago and a preacher came to him and thought he was still in his 60s or 70s and asked how he was able to keep the whole of his teeth and still looking healthy and strong. The man replied I am in my 90s, it was a surprise and a shock to this preacher, the man said I will tell you the secret, many years ago I discovered a scripture from the Word of God and I told the Lord that I will l like Him to keep every part of my body complete and He told me to keep my tongue.

The secret to long life is to control your tongue. Many have failed to control their tongues and have ruined a good relationship, caused sorrow and bitterness on others, betrayed souls and much more. The devil wants to use man against God, just as Job's wife told Job to curse God and die, because life and death lies in the tongue, what you say can either save you or destroy you.

Proverbs 6 vs 2 says ‘then your words may well be the trap that snares you, and your promise may seal your fate. With this verse we are advised to speak with wisdom. They tried to trap Christ Jesus in John 8 vs 1 – 11 concerning the adulterous woman but he kept quiet until He had utterance from the Holy Ghost and wisdom silenced His enemies.


Insight: Use Wisdom today and let your speech be seasoned with salt. Speak wisely.

Prayer: Father, I need your grace and wisdom in my life, help me to control my tongue in Jesus name.

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
