DEVOTION ~ THE PARADOX OF CONTROLLING THE TONGUE

-


Theme: The Paradox of Controlling the Tongue
Text: Psalms 139:4 
4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.



Yesterday's devotion taught us that God is acquainted with our ways. In today's devotion, we shall learn the paradox of controlling our tongues. The psalmist declared that the Lord knew every word upon his tongue. This should inform us that since God knows every word on our tongue, it should influence our speech. Dear beloved in the Lord, if we claim to be disciples of Jesus Christ, yet our speeches are profane or impure, we ought to remember that God hears and knows what proceeds from our tongues. 



Let us Pray: Almighty God, please touch my tongue with the tongues of fire as on the Day of Pentecost. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing and acceptable in Your sight in the Name of Jesus Christ have I prayed. AMEN!

Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

COMMAND YOUR WEEK

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
