The Power of The Tongue

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: James 3:1-8

Worship song: Taming The Tongue

 


Meditation:

    The tongue is a small but powerful part of the body capable of producing both good and evil. Apostle James contended that humans have successfully subdued every kind of creature both large and small, on land and sea except the tongue which remains difficult to control. He characterized the tongue as a small unruly member full of deadly poison acting as a source of evil capable of contaminating the entire body. The same tongue that blesses and inspires others can also condemn and cause widespread destruction and corruption. 

    Apostle Paul beseeches Christians to utilize their words as tools for constructive support to strengthen, encourage, and edify others in their faith. He urges us to avoid harsh words and ensure that no corrupt communication proceeds out of our mouths, but that which is beneficial for educating and ministering to the hearers. Mastery over the tongue is fundamental to guiding our actions and cultivating self-discipline. The words we speak are directly reflective of the condition of our hearts.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, I entrust my lips, heart, mind, and soul into your care. Grant me prudence to guard my tongue, O God, and establish a watchfulness before my mouth to protect the openings of my lips. Almighty God, shield my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. I seek your divine guidance, Lord, to direct my words and to govern my actions. Almighty God, grant me the power to tame my tongue and to use my words as instruments for constructive support to strengthen, encourage, and build up others in their faith. Lord, empower my speech to bring hope, encouragement, and spiritual healing to everyone I meet. In all things may I cultivate an attitude of expressing gratitude and appreciation through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you a wonderful day. 💕🙏👄

We Need The Savior

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 2:1-5 Worship song: I'll Say of The Lord.....   Meditation:      Without the Savior, humans operate like a ticking time bomb ready to self-destruct. Blinded by sin and living in our sinful state gives rise to desires that appeal to fleshly lust that has led us down the path of unholiness and ungodliness separating us from God. We all need a Savior, Jesus Christ the one who died to rescue us. He is our refuge from the dangerous deluge of our selfish desires and destructive self-will. Jesus Christ has availed himself to be our shield, our high tower, and our Savior to shelter us in the time of storm.       We all need a Savior to protect us and shelter us from the rebellion and unfaithfulness of our hearts. We all need a Savior to deliver and purge away our sins. The God of my rock, in whom I trust, the horn of my salvation is the only savior for mankind. I was once alienated living disconnected fr...

The Man On The Middle Cross

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 23:39-43 Worship song: Jesus In The Middle Save Me   Meditation:      Obedient to his Father's will, He left the splendor of Heaven to bear the collective sins of our transgressions. He endured chastisement, oppression, and affliction and opened not His mouth to rebel. He bore our griefs and sorrow, yet He was rejected and despised. They gave Him a procession bearing his heavy wooden cross while they chanted, mocked, and cheered. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, whipped with many lashes and every stripe he bore represents our healing. His atoning blood was shed for the debt of our sin and he faced the wrath of God's justice poured out against our sin in our place so we could be saved.       Though he was found not guilty, he was judged and condemned as a convict, taken to the gallows, and hanged on a wooden cross between two thieves. His sacrificial death was significant for the propitiation...

Bloodline Repentance

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 1:1-16 Worship song: There Is Power in The Blood   Meditation:      The genealogy of Jesus Christ's human ancestry recorded in Matthew includes those whose lifestyle was characterized by acts of immorality, unholy living, and dishonorable conduct. Jesus did not descend from a perfect, holy human race, he entered a race that was broken, defiled by sin, and in need of a redeemer. His ancestors were not solely righteous, but defined by imperfections. The family tree features stories highlighting a lineage of sinners rather than purely righteous prominent figures.       Based on the Biblical accounts in the books of the Kings and Chronicles many of Jesus ancestors in the royal bloodline of Judah were worshipping pagan gods, engaged in witchcraft, blood sacrifice, divination, enchantments, and trusting unfamiliar spirits. These acts are an abomination unto the Lord and must be broken. Today, our generat...

Good morning - Day of prayer   Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Jeremiah 17:14 Worship song: Healing and Deliverance Prayer: Salvation, Healing, and Deliverance Let us pray: Heavenly Father, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, acknowledging You as our Sovereign Lord and King. I repent of the sins that easily beset me, surrendering them all to you, Lord God.       Into your hands, O God, I commit my loved ones who have not yet received you as Lord. I pray, O God, that Your Spirit will take captive their thoughts and hearts, revealing Your truth and guiding them toward Your perfect will. I pray, Almighty God, that they will confess that you are Lord, turn from a life of earthly pleasure, and accept your gift of salvation and redemption. May they recognize that there is no other name under Heaven given among men than that of Jesus Christ, through whom they can be saved.  ...
