Speak The Truth

John_8-32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John_14-6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

Text:
James 3:1-12
My friends, not many of you should become teachers. As you know, we teachers will be judged with greater strictness than others.

2 All of us often make mistakes. But if a person never makes a mistake in what he says, he is perfect and is also able to control his whole being.

3 We put a bit into the mouth of a horse to make it obey us, and we are able to make it go where we want.

4 Or think of a ship: big as it is and driven by such strong winds, it can be steered by a very small rudder, and it goes wherever the pilot wants it to go.

5 So it is with the tongue: small as it is, it can boast about great things. Just think how large a forest can be set on fire by a tiny flame!

6 And the tongue is like a fire. It is a world of wrong, occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being. It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it from hell itself.

7 We humans are able to tame and have tamed all other creatures—wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish.

8 But no one has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison.

9 We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse other people, who are created in the likeness of God.

10 Words of thanksgiving and cursing pour out from the same mouth. My friends, this should not happen!

11 No spring of water pours out sweet water and bitter water from the same opening.

12 A fig tree, my friends, cannot bear olives; a grapevine cannot bear figs, nor can a salty spring produce sweet water.

Introduction:
The tongue is a powerful organ of the body. It is so powerful that death and life, falsehood and truth proceed from it. Every true child of God is expected to speak the truth from his or her heart in order to be successful and victorious.

Characteristics Of A Lying Tongue
1. It speaks deception and projects destruction and mischief.
Psalm 52:2
You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor.

2. It exhibits craftiness and evil devises.
Jeremiah 18:18
They said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let’s attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says.”

3. It spreads lies and iniquity uncontrollably.
Psalm 120:2
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

4. It is controlled by evil forces.
John 8:44
You are the children of your father, the Devil, and you want to follow your father’s desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies.

5. It defiles man.
Matthew 15:18
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these are the things that make you ritually unclean.

6. It set traps for the innocent.
James 3:6
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

7. Its end is in hell fire.
James 3:6
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

8. It flatters, backbites and promotes wickedness.
Psalm 5:9
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.

Proverbs 25:23
As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!

Conclusion:
Children of God are expected to be truthful so that they will remain shining light in the midst of darkness. Also speaking the truth will lead us to eternal life with Jesus!

Thank You Jesus.

Psalms_86-11-1: Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

Psalms_100-5: For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

THE CHOSEN

John_15-16: Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you

Matthew_20-16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen

TEXT: John 15: 16.

 
INTRODUCTION: Every child of God has been chosen by God for a purpose. But unfortunately, today, many are not fulfilling the purpose for which God saved and chose them.

 
WHY GOD DID CHOOSE US?

 
God chose us for the following reasons:

 
(i) He chose us because He loved us. Matt 22: 14. God loved us even before we knew Him. Jn 3: 16; 1 Jn 4: 10-19 from our mothers’ womb He has chosen us and ordained us to be an instrument of honour to Him. Jer 1: 5; Isa 49: 1-3; 1 Pet 2: 9; 2 Tim 2: 20-22.

 
(ii) He chose us that we might bear fruits. He expects us to bear fruit of repentance. Matt 3: 8-9, holiness. Rom 7: 4; Romans 6: 22, fruit of the Holy Spirit. Gal 5: 22-23; Eph 5: 9-10 and souls for Christ. Mk 16: 15-16.

 
CONCLUSION: Fulfill the purpose for which God saved and chose you.

Thank You Jesus.

KEEP YOUR HEART

Psalms_26-2: Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

TEXT: Proverbs 4: 23.

 
INTRODUCTION: The heart is the most sensitive part of the human body. Therefore, there is a need to keep watch over our heart.

WHY SHOULD WE KEEP OUR HEART?

 
(a) It is the centre of life. Every activity of a man has its root in the heart. Prov 4: 23; Prov 27: 19. Hardly is anything a man wants to do that will not first be determined in his heart. Dan 1: 8.

 
(b) Determines character. The way a man behaves is conditioned by the state of his heart. You are a product of your thought. Num 13: 31; Prov 23: 7.

 
(c) The source of evil. Every evil action is first and foremost conceived in the heart. Matt 15: 18-19; 2 Pet 2: 14; Eccl 9: 3.

 
(d) Control speech. Your utterance is determined by what you think in your heart. What are the things that fill your own heart? Matt.12: 34-36.

 
CONCLUSION: The heart is very important to God, Satan and man. The one to whom your heart is yielded determines the use of the heart. Do not yield yours to Satan. Jn.13: 2, 27.

Thank You Jesus.

Psalms_19-14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer

NARROW AND BROAD WAY

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

TEXT: Matthew 7: 13-14.

 
INTRODUCTION: Jesus Christ taught His disciples about the broad and narrow ways. Today, we shall look at the features of the two ways. So that you can examine yourself and see which way you belong.

 
FEATURES OF THE NARROW WAY

 
1. The way leads to life. Jesus Christ is the way that leads to life. Jn 14: 6. There is no other way that leads to life. 1 Jn 1: 2; 1 Jn 5: 12; Prov 12: 28

 
2. The gate is narrow. The gate is not as wide as to contain two people at the same time. Lk 13: 24; 1 Cor 9: 27; Heb 12: 1; Matt 19: 16-24.

 
3. Only few will find the way. In the days of Noah, only eight people made it into the Ark. Gen 7: 13.

 
FEATURES OF THE BROAD WAY

 
1. The gate is wide and the way is broad. The way of this world is broad. 1 Jn 2: 15-17. The way to hell is broad. Prov 12: 15.

 
2. It leads to destruction. It is the way of sin.

 
3. Many go through it. It is the way of disobedience and as a result it can entertain many people.

 
CONCLUSION: You have a choice to make today, but I counsel you to choose the narrow way, which is the way of life.

Thank You Jesus.

John_14-6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

Stop Doubting And Believe.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John_14-1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me

Whose Report Will You Believe

Prayer Points:

1. Father! In the mighty name of Jesus, let this month be a month of pleasant surprises for me.

2. Father! Everything I need to serve You diligently, please make it available unto me (Health, Strength, Money, Wisdom, Anointing)

3. Father from now on, please turn every obstacle in my way to stepping stones to glory

4. Father! This month make a way for me where there was no way before

5. Father! Please bring me out of all kinds of prisons tonight: spiritual prison, habitual prison, economic prison. I want to be free

What Is Faith?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

“Stop Doubting And Believe.”

Whose Report Will You Believe

Text:

Galatians 3:5-14
5 Does God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you because you do what the Law requires or because you HEAR the gospel and believe it?

6 Consider the experience of Abraham; as the scripture says, “He believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous.”

 
7 You should realize, then, that the real descendants of Abraham are the people who have faith.

 
8 The scripture predicted that God would put the Gentiles right with himself through faith. And so the scripture announced the Good News to Abraham: “Through you God will bless all people.”
9 Abraham believed and was blessed; so all who believe are blessed as he was.
10 Those who depend on obeying the Law live under a curse. For the scripture says, “Whoever does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the Law is under God’s curse!”
11 Now, it is clear that no one is put right with God by means of the Law, because the scripture says, “Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live.”[a]
12 But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, as the scripture says, “Whoever does everything the Law requires will live.”
13 But by becoming a curse for us Christ has redeemed us from the curse that the Law brings; for the scripture says, “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God’s curse.”
14 Christ did this in order that the blessing which God promised to Abraham might be given to the Gentiles by means of Christ Jesus, so that through faith we might receive the Spirit promised by God.

Whose Report Will You Believe?
“Stop Doubting And Believe.”

Has anyone here seen GOD The Father physically?
But we believe there is A GOD that reigns in the affairs of man.

Has anyone here seen JESUS CHRIST, the Only Begotten Son of the Father?
But we believe He came down from Heaven, Born of a virgin, crucified, dead & buried.
On the 3rd day He rose again, ascended into Heaven & is seated at the right hand of God The Father.

Has anyone here seen THE HOLY SPIRIT?
But we feel His Presence; His touch & hears when He speaks to us

Has anyone here seen the Devil, Satan our common enemy?

But we believe he exists.

So why are we finding it so difficult to believe God’s Words concerning our future!

What Does The Bible Say About Those That Believe
1. Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

2. Mark 9:23
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

3. Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain (Sickness, Failure, Stagnation, Backwardness, Inferiority Complex, Poverty, etc), Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

4. Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

5. Mark 16:17
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

6. Luke 1:45
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

7. Jesus said to Thomas in John 20:27B, “Stop doubting and believe.”

8. John 11:40
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

9. Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

10. John 6:40
For my Father’s Will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

11. Mark 9:24
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Thank You Jesus.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John_11-25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live
