BLESSED AND HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! MAY THE BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN RAIN UPON YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD IN THIS JEWISH NEW YEAR IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Moreover, I tell you this: on the Day of Judgment people will have to give account for every careless word they have spoken; for by your own words you will be acquitted, and by your own words you will be condemned.” (Matthew.12:36-37)
Adonai Yeshua declared that on the day of judgment, men will have to give account for every idle, inoperative, and nonworking word they speak. By your words, you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words, you will be condemned and sentenced.
If your drinking water was contaminated with the sewage and drainage water, would you drink that water even if you were desperately thirsty?
Have you considered what you have been offering to the One to Whom you owe your whole life, the Lord, Almighty God? You have been coming to Him and bringing Him your praises with a contaminated tongue.
On one side, you bring praise, worship, and your prayers, but within a little while, you turn back to your evil ways of condemning others, fault-finding, grudging and holding resentments.
How can your praises be pleasing in the sight of the Lord? How can His favour rest upon you if you continue without repentance in all your self-righteous ways?
There is so much power and influence in your words. Use your tongue rightly to bless the Lord, to bring your sacrifice of praise to Him, to preach the gospel, to pray for others, to bring cheer and comfort, to bring words of guidance and counsel and to bring encouragement to build bridges between relationships.
If you are too quick to pronounce judgment, criticize or gossip about people or situations of which you have no knowledge or received those pieces of information, be extra careful. Satan is out to destroy you.
Beloved, do you see yourself as a vessel that can bring glory and honour unto the name of the Lord? Then place everything that is brought into your hearing to the feet of the Lord. Ask the Lord how He can use you in that particular situation to bring peace, unity and love.
Pray for the people concerned and for a special touch of the Lord upon yourself that you do not cross bounds that will cause shame to the Lord and to your witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“TAME YOUR TONGUE AND KEEP YOUR LIFE.”
Shalom and good morning.
