WELCOME to MFM Devotional, 16/08/22

PRAISE & WORSHIP

King of glory, King of peace,
I will love Thee;
And that love may never cease,
I will move Thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
Thou hast heard me;
Thou didst note my working breast,
Thou hast spared me.

Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing Thee,
And the cream of all my heart
I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
Thou alone didst clear me;
And alone, when they replied,
Thou didst hear me.

Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise Thee;
In my heart, though not in Heaven,
I can raise Thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
To enroll Thee:
E’en eternity’s too short
To extol Thee.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Chronicles 5:2-14, 2 Chronicles 6, 2 Chronicles 7:1-10, Corinthians 10:14-33 1 Corinthians 11:1, Proverbs 20:5-14

MEMORY VERSE:
Colossians 4:6 “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Let your words be an investment in other people’s lives, because it will come back to you.

PROPHETIC WORD for 16:08:22:
Word for Today: I pray that your tongue shall be a spring of life that issues blessings to others, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: James 3:1-18

16/08/MESSAGE:
The Bible enjoins believers to bridle their tongues (James 1:26). Let us glean from the wisdom of God on the control of the tongue, which is the vehicle of the words that we speak. The tongue is located in the mouth as we all know. Physically and spiritually, it works either way, good or bad, subject to control by the owner. In James chapter 3, the Bible clearly states the extremely deadly nature of an untamed or uncontrolled tongue (verses 5-8). In fact, it is not within the power of man to tame the tongue. We need the Holy Spirit!

This seemingly small but mighty organ of the body is capable of doing extreme damage to the owner and others as well. It is called,” a fire, a world of iniquity, an unruly evil, full of deadly poison”. What a fearful description! In fact, it is capable of defiling the whole body and “setting it on the course of hell”. I pray that your tongue will not take you to hell, in the name of Jesus.

What do you use your tongue for? Is it to bless or curse? How can you worship God with the same mouth, yet run others down, slander and blackmail out of bitterness and envy? Are you a gossip, talebearer and backbiter? What news do you have of others?

As a leader, do you encourage your subordinates or you tear them down? As a couple, do you speak loving words to each other or hateful words? Do you sow godly seeds of words into your children’s lives, not to talk of other people’s children? Perhaps, you always speak derogatory and belittling words. All the, ” you are good for nothing words; look at your life…. can’t you see your mates” etc

At the end of the day beloved, what goes round comes round. You shall reap whatever you sow. Rather, according to James…… embrace godly wisdom to talk correctly, even when speaking the truth or rebuking. Today’s memory verse counsels that our words should be encouraging and edifying. That reveals the nature of God in us. Words are capable of healing, and can as well terminate life. Beloved, let your word be a healing balm to the wounded and not otherwise.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Agenda of hellfire for my life, fail woefully, in the name of Jesus.

2. I receive power to speak gracefully, in the name of Jesus.

3. Lord, help me to discipline my tongue, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. My words must be a blessing to the hearers, in the name of Jesus.

5. Power of defilement in my tongue, die now, in the name of Jesus.

6. Father, let my words bring healing, joy and restoration to others, in the name of Jesus.

7. I receive fresh power to glorify God with my tongue always, in the name of Jesus.
