No matter how many great things you’ve achieved on this earth, remember that God gave you the strength and anointing to do it. Be careful of boasting about yourself because Nebuchadnezzar tried it and ended up in the bush for seven years.
Herod got trapped by his own oath to her daughter — who was directed by her mother to demand the head of John the Baptist. Be careful of making oaths in happy moments, especially in the midst of secular people. You might fall into a trap with your own words.
When Jesus said “Don’t swear,” He was telling us to respect the name of God by learning how to respond to situations wisely — saying “Yes” or “No.” That means when it comes to problems, go for them or against them with wisdom, not vengeful actions.
Everything earthly is temporary, including money, although some are useful. Get divine wisdom, get wealth and other possessions. However, use all of them for God’s glory and not to set your heart on them.
One thing that determines how people speak is the content of their hearts. Jesus said that “… the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45 NIV). So to become a wise giver of answers, you must fill your heart with godly content, that is, the Word.
Don’t wait for God to address your situation spontaneously. He has given you a mouth to speak words without paying anybody. Use your mouth to pray. Remove the mountain by speaking words of faith.
Just as evil thoughts don’t emanate from God, it’s God’s Word we must use to overcome them. How? By casting down all imaginations and any thought against the knowledge of God.
If you want to use your tongue well to bless others, you’ve got to check what fills your heart.
From the beginning, God made life to be in seasons. He made different kinds of light in Genesis 1:14-16 to govern time differences. That is to say that there is time for everything. And until we understand this, we’re likely to misinterpret how we see life due to a lack of discernment of the season we are in right now.
You shall have what you say in prayer. But before that, you have to speak what you want to see. Is there anything in your life you don’t like? God has revealed that nuisance to you so that through you, He’ll bring redemption to it. Don’t watch things get spoilt in your life without doing anything about it.
We’re in the last days, and people betray others so much for their personal benefits. But it doesn’t matter what the masses do. The question is, “are you trustworthy?” Can you keep secrets shared by a close friend to you without letting even another close friend hear about it?
When an offence isn’t covered up and heartily forgiven, it develops into quarrels anytime the offender and offended speak about the issue. Drop the matters by addressing them in love and settling disputes amicably using the wisdom of God.
