THE POWER OF THE TONGUE –Pt 1 - Pst. Oni Maj
A woman was
at the verge of total collapse when she ran to meet a prophet and she said my
husband the prophet is dead and the creditor has come to take the sons
away. And Elisha said to her what do you
have in your house. That is to say that
there is something within you that holds answer to that question of your
life. You have all it takes to be
free. You have all it takes to be
full. You have all it takes to excel! He
said what has thou in thine house? There are many things we carry but we don’t
know what they are worth. I want you to
lift up your voice to the Lord and ask him to open your eyes to see your
worth. Lord upon my eyes to see that you
have placed within me that can provide an answer. What has thou in thine house? 2 kings 4:2.
It shows a deplorable situation but there is something you can do to
live that situation. From the word of God it is clear that every destiny is at
the mercy of the tongue. In my Bible, I know that it is in your own too, I am
told that life and deaths is at the power of the tongue Prov 18:.21. So the tongue can determine how well you live
or otherwise.
They were about getting into
Canaan and hakadesh bannier, twelve spice were sent to spy out the land and
they came back and said we were not able to enter. The people are too strong for us. We saw the land that it is a land flowing
with milk and honey but we can’t take it.
We were like ant’s before them. And the Lord held them and said as you
have said, so shall it be. Just to say
it is impossible – then you find yourself a permanent victim of imperfection. God was the one who said to them I am taking
you to Canaan, but their mouth won’t let them to enter. God is the one who said he has paid of our
sins but it would require our mouth to enter into his righteousness. The tongue!
In short, the bible says any man who does not know how to use his
tongue, he said that man’s religion is vain. Vain means zero, nothing to show. They could not enter the land because their
tongue won’t let then enter. How many
are determine to enter into the kingdom of perfection? Come on say, I must
enter.
Now, And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, How
long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me?
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur
against me. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye
have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
Num
14:26-28
That means
your tongue is what determines what God does to you! It is so vital. Jesus was speaking and he was talking about
the challenges of the end time. He said
this has been ordained to turn to you for a testimony! I don’t know what
challenges you might be facing right now, but God said, it has been programmed
to turn to you for a testimony. Amen!
And it shall turn to you for a
testimony.
Luke 21:13
That is,
very shortly you shall be able to say… be ye followers of me even as I follow
Christ. It will soon show that of a truth
you are serving the living God. And he
gave them one weapon that will make this to happen in the gospel according to
Luke
But before all these, they shall lay
their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the
synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my
name's sake.
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Settle it therefore in your
hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be
able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke 21
:12-15
So, no matter the persecution, it shall turn to you for a testimony.
