The power of the tongue Pt1

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.

Dangers of Compromise

The danger of compromise

This message is to every one that has been redeemed.  By the word redeemed, I mean those who have accepted the lordship of Jesus Christ and are saved.  Before we continue this important epistle on this subject, I will like us to define danger literally - danger and compromise.

What is danger?

This is the possibility of something unwelcome or unpleasant occurring.

What is compromise?  

This is a state of one being between conflicting alternatives.

As a believer, we are admonished not to wave in our faith in God and his promises for us. (Heb 10:23).  No matter the crises that a child of God finds his or herself, God expects him to stay in the promise.  No matter how dark it may be at night, there is the dawning of the day.  That situation will change for the better if you avoid compromising your virtue as a believer.  

There was a young man who was serving the Lord with all that he has and all his might. But one day, situation arose that he was afflicted with a terrible sickness. Being that this young man was surrounded by unbelieving members of the family who will not stop at anything to get results,  it was suggested to him that a goat sacrifice must be done to the gods of their family to stay alive.

The young man at a stage objected to the decision of the family members that on no circumstances should any sacrifice be made for him.  All the family members needed was his assent.

Financing the Ministry Pt 1

Financing the Ministry Pt 1

Good management is key to maintaining financial flow in Ministry.  You don't grow big to manage well - you manage well to grow big. (David Oyedepo) Lk 19:17-19. The management of resources must begin from where we are. In the scriptures according to Luke Jesus the great manager said
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches ?

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? ( Lk 16:11-12)  Faitfulness is one of the vital key to financial abundance in ministry. Also in Prov 24- 3-5,
 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
Wisdom demands that believers walk in sound financial integrity.  It hurts when some Christian refuse to take responsibility. They attribute their failure to the devil. Whereas the devil was not there.  May be he was in pakistan as at that time etc, Why? because he is not ominipresent. Only God is.  So the devil cannot be in two places at the same time. It is high time believers come to their right senses
