Tongue Power
2 Samuel 23:2 “The Spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his words are upon my tongue. God’s Spirit spoke through me, his words took shape on my tongue.” (NLT & MSG)
When we were much younger, when we went to the doctor for a medical check-up, the doctor would bring out a spatula. Then the doctor will use it to flatten the tongue. I always used to wonder what the doctor was looking for on my tongue. Was the doctor looking to see the food I ate? Or would he be able to tell that I took an extra piece of meat? What is the doctor always looking for on the tongue? The truth about the tongue is it reveals what is going on inside you. By examining the tongue, the doctor can tell whether you are ill, or well, or at least a pointer to what the issue might be.
A lot of times, we look at ourselves and deep down we tend to question if God is really for us. Meanwhile, the real question is are you really for yourself? How come that is the question? It is because when you hear the things coming out of some people’s tongues, it is like the things coming out of the mouth of the enemy’s mouth. Meanwhile, it is the person speaking. So, if you really want to know the direction your life is moving, do not look very far, look at the words that are coming out of your mouth. If you want to know where you will be five or ten years from now, check what you are saying now.
You are where you are today because of what you are saying to yourself, good or bad. The great things that are going to happen, plus the ones that have happened, happened because of what you have said. The bad things you wish did not happen but happened because of your tongue and what you have said. Someone said, “You form your words then your words form your future”. All you need to do is form your words, your words will form your future. Do not struggle to form your future because largely your future is created by your words.
The biggest thing that God wanted to do with Gideon was to make him align with God. So that Gideon’s words can align with God’s Word. God allowed Gideon to confirm His Word in several ways (please read Judges 6:17-22, & 36-40). God indulged Gideon because until Gideon was convinced about what God was saying to him, Gideon could not possess the future God had for him. Until you are convinced about what God is saying to you, you cannot possess the future that God has for you. It is when you are convinced, that you begin to speak it.
Prayer: Father, Your Spirit speaks through me, His Words take shape on my tongue, and I speak only what the Holy Spirit says, in Jesus Name. Amen!
Like Him
John 1:16 “For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favour upon favour, and gift heaped upon gift].” (AMP)
The culture and the world around us are really pulling a lot of us in different directions. People do not even know what to live for, live by, or believe in anymore. Some say trust this guru, Read the rest of this entry
Fight!
Nehemiah 4:14 “Then as I looked over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and said to them, “Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!”
A person who plots with others to hate on you, spread rumours about you, or to harm you if they can, is a Conspirator. The Bible says in 1 John 3:15 that hate is on the murder spectrum. Anyone trying to destroy you can kill you and is your enemy. Read the rest of this entry
The “Why”
Matthew 16:25-26 “Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?” (MSG)
We have looked at all the major aspects of life, our finances, our relationships, physical health, mental health, and so on, that we need to have in place to have a fully transformed life. Over the next few days, we will be focusing on vocational or work metamorphosis. Read the rest of this entry
Save. Invest. Repay.
Proverbs 13:11 “Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.”
If I want to experience financial metamorphosis, I Must Trust God As My Source And Supplier, I Must Keep Good Records, I Must Give The First 10% Back To God, and I Must Save And Invest For The Future. The truth is, “If you cannot save money, Read the rest of this entry
Source & Steward
Matthew 25:19 “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money.”
To experience financial metamorphosis, the first thing is, I Must Trust God As My Source And Supplier. Your job is not your source. Your business is not your source. Most times, we are so guarded when it comes to our jobs, our careers, Read the rest of this entry
Pay It Forward
2 Timothy 2:2 “You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.” (emphasis added).
Today’s anchor scripture highlights four generations. Paul says the things I have taught you, Timothy, you need to entrust to other people, teach and coach them so that they would be able to pass it on to the next generation. Everyone is supposed to have a four generational influence at the least, Read the rest of this entry
In Truth
Philippians 4:8 “Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honourable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.” (TPT)
The number one purpose for your life cannot be for you to love God. You cannot begin to love God if you do not know what it is for God to love you. And it is because our love for God is a response to God’s love for us. 1 John 4:19 “We love Him because He first loved us.” (NKJV). Read the rest of this entry
Created To Endure
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” (NKJV)
God’s Word to us today is Arise and Shine. Why would God be telling us to arise and shine at such a time as this? Is that not counter-intuitive? However, I believe very strongly in my heart that God is speaking to you and to me and He is saying Arise and Shine. Read the rest of this entry
Better Together
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “It’s better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps. But if there’s no one to help, tough!” (MSG)
Why do we need community? We Need Community To Make Up For Our Weaknesses. We Need Community To Bring Out The Best In Us. We Need Community To Get More Done. Ecclesiastes 4:9 “Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better.” Read the rest of this entry
