THEME: Your Tongue And You. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”
Ephesians 4:29.

TODAY’S TEXT:
James 3:2-3.
“For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
There are many ways to tell of a man or a woman maturity, background, exposure, believe, pedigree and wisdom. One of which is his or her speech, do know that what comes out of a man’s mouth speak a great deal about him.
Meanwhile, our today’s text gives a hint on who a perfect man or woman is saying: _” *If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man,* and able also to bridle the whole body.”_ This connotes that, ability to mind our speech is a step in being perfect.
However, Apostle Paul through our memory verse, admonish us as followers of Christ, to ensure that no corrupt communication proceed out of our mouths, but good words for the edification of souls and to minister grace unto the listener.
Finally, how often do you consciously examine what comes out of your mouth? Does it edify lives, minister grace to the hearer or glorified God? Don’t forget that, what comes out of your mouth, says a lot about you. Therefore, consciously examine your heart on daily basis, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Mathew 12:34).

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
My tongue will not betray be. I will speak to edify and minister grace to the glory of God.

PRAYER POINT:
Father in heaven, help me to be perfect in my words. Let my words, oh Lord, be seasoned with grace, peace and mercy, that your Holy name be glorified wherever I find myself in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
Forgive To Be Forgiven. III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”
Matthew 5:7.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Luke 6:35-37.
“But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we saw that forgiveness, has to come from the depth of our hearts, not just by saying, *”You are forgiven, but must be as a result of spring of mercy rising from the depth of your hearts to refresh a dried and dying soul with grace and joy.”*
Meanwhile, our today’s text admonishes us to love our enemies, to do good all people, to be merciful as our God is merciful. Judge not, condemn not, forgive and you shall be forgiven.
Furthermore, the gospel of John chapter 3 verse 16, expressly declared the unfathomable love of God to mankind, by giving His only begotten Son to redeem human race. Beloved in Christ, this feat came to be through God’s mercy by forgiveness of our sins, while we were yet sinner.
Conclusively, Jesus, the son of God has made a full and complete payment for our sins. Jesus offered to be a sacrifice that the wrath of God may be appeased, and the punishment we deserve, Jesus bears for us all. So, as children of the merciful Father, let’s show mercy and we shall receive mercy also.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

Forgive To Be Forgiven. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Matthew 18:35.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Matthew 6:14-15.
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we observed that forgiveness is the ability to pardon, to waive any negative feeling or desire for punishment of an offender. And that God desires forgiveness of all sins always and at all times.
However, our today’s text revealed that, if we forgive men, women, young or old their sins, God’s mercy will locate us also.
Furthermore, our memory verse, expose us to an important aspect of pardon, which brings about genuine forgiveness of sins, this is the forgiveness from the bottom of our hearts.
Finally, when you do this, you will forgive and forget that it ever happened. And in that measure, your father in heaven will forgive you also. May you have the grace to forgive and forget all offenses against you in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.

Matthew 6:12.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Matthew 18:21-22.
“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
A question was once asked about acceptable number of times to forgive our offenders and the person that asked the question was so quick to proffer or suggest answer to the seemingly puzzle, he presented by saying, _”Seven times,”_ but Jesus replied by saying; *”Until Seventy times Seven.”* Invariably, Jesus instructs us to forgive our offenders always irrespective of the crime committed or number of time involved.
Furthermore, the scripture in Mathew chapter 6 verse 12 present to us the condition to receive forgiveness our own sins from God. It is, *”Forgive me oh God, as I forgive those that offends me”* and in other words, we are saying, *”Don’t forgive me, if I don’t forgive others,* simple as that.
Finally, to forgive is to pardon, to waive any negative feeling or desire for punishment. May you have the grace to forgive and be forgiven in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.

THEME: I Shall Be Great. IV.

MEMORY VERSE:
“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”
Proverbs 22:7.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Ecclesiastes 7:12.
“For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Previously in this series, we have discussed great deal on greatness or prosperity. It is important to note that, prosperity is a state of flourishing, striving and successful life status. And that true prosperity is not only of money but include sound health.
Meanwhile, the scripture says in Proverbs 23:5, *”…for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.”* it is good to be great and prosperous, but when we don’t checkmate our intentions about greatness or channel it appropriately, we can lose it all.
Furthermore, in order to checkmate our riches from growing wings and fly away. We must not live in disobedience to God’s instructions, we must not be slothful, we must not be stingy to the poor, and not partake in the wickedness of men.
Finally, beloved in Christ Jesus, it is righteousness that exalt a Nation and sin brings reproaches.(Proverbs 14:34) Do know that Sin is the greatest enemy of greatness. Live a righteous life and your greatness will spread through generations in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
Enemies of greatness, will not subdue me. I shall be great indeed.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
