THE CHRISTIAN AND HIS TONGUE

THE MESSAGE NOW

Vol. 5, No. 4 – Sunday, 26th January, 2020
THE CHRISTIAN AND HIS TONGUE

TEXT: James 3:6-13

‘’Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof’’ (Proverbs 18:21). He who puts his tongue to a vile use shall reap sorrow and regrets, while a bridled tongue ‘seasoned with salt’ shall always bring joy and sound health to the user.
Had Moses bridled his tongues at the instance of Israel’s provocation, he wouldn’t have lost the hope of a lifetime. Wrong use of the tongue brought leprosy on Miriam, who had led the daughters of Israel to ‘Sing… to the Lord’s in the wilderness. Had they kept quiet, the ten spies would have brought the thousands, who murmured, to the Promised Land. Men who are quick to talk usually get themselves into troubles. ‘’… let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak…’’ (James 1:19). He that is not slow to speak oftentimes becomes swift to act.
The tongues is a little member in the body. When it is untamed, it rules and ruins the entire body. Tame your tongue and your life will run its full course without sorrows and pains. Every man’s tongue must be healed if ‘’ … he … will love life, and see good days…’’ (1 Peter 3:10).
Total healing and health of the tongue begins from the heart. The spiritual state of the heart determines the freshness or otherwise unhealthiness of the tongue ‘’…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh’’ (Matthew 12:34).
The first step towards refining the tongue is to identify the spiritual state of the heart. Has the heart been truly converted and thoroughly sanctified? Except the Refiner’s fire refines and purifies the heart, the product of the lips will be odious to men’s ears.
Secondly, after the heart has been purified, the believer must deliberately put his tongue under subjection through undying and enduring consecration.
Thirdly, the believer will need to study to be quiet to do his business. He will need to put some personal effort to bridle his tongue. Before getting involved in any discussion or conversation, he will need to weigh the worth of each word in his heart, if the discussion is such without any eternal value, he will need to refuse to be dragged into it(1 Thessalonians 4:11).
Fourthly, where he has to speak, he should ensure that his words are couched in wisdom and ‘seasoned with salt’, that is gracious (Colossians 4:6).
Tremendous blessing accrue to the believer whose tongue is totally tamed.. His life is full of goodness and good health (Proverbs 13:3,21,23; James 1:26; 1 Peter 3:10). He becomes a channel of blessings to other people. His words usher grace into his hearer’s heart. His words inspire others to good actions. He comforts, encourages and edifies his hearers and brings the wayward into the way of salvation (Colossians 4:6; Ecclesiastes 12:11; Isaiah 50:4; Proverbs 12:18).
IN THE END: There is a flow of blessings into the life of a believer whose tongue is tamed.
Question and answer:
‘’Your blood is on your head for your own mouth has testified against you’’ to whom was this said and what happened to him?
A. An Amalekite, He was killed
 
HYMN: Thy word is a lamp to my feet
PRAY NOW:
1. Father set a watch over my tongue, I shall not offend you through my tongue this year.
2. Every word I have ever spoken that has brought reproach or condemnation unto me father erase them today.
3. Father hide all of your words in my heart, I want to live only by them.
4. Father Baptize me with your wisdom. I shall not regret my words, decisions and choices this year.
5. My life shall run without sorrows and pains in the mighty name of Jesus.
6. Father lift up the aeroplane of Express Image Glory Now.

THE ARMOUR OF DETERMINATION

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 3 – Sunday, 19th January, 2020
(2 Kings.2:1-18)
THE ARMOUR OF DETERMINATION

Most times in the journey of life, the singular difference between those who succeed and those who quit just before success is attained is the absence of extra minutes that determination gives.
The truth is this: determination makes one see the finish line where success is well-seated, awaiting the more determined conqueror. Determination is never concerned about the hurdles on the path to the finish line. And if at all it does, its considerations are never about the horrors of those hurdles but principally its concern is about the eventual hurrays at the finish line.
This was undoubtedly the mind-set of Elisha. Being aware of his master’s departure on that notable day, neither his business, family or other interests were of more serious concern to him.
Rather the rules of priority informed him that where the ultimate was in the equation every other thing were either mere options or distractions. So, Elisha followed this rule strictly until the ultimate: the double anointing spirit of Elijah was obtained.
Bible scholars informed us that whilst Elijah recorded eight miracles during his earthly ministry, Elisha recorded sixteen. Truly, it was a case of double anointing. Notice also that there were distractions in Elisha’s journey to the finish line. The constant test being set by his master, the sons of the prophet and possibly the inner voices speaking otherwise to him.
But a fixed minded and determined fellow will always attain the desired crown. Yes, you saw it correctly, the desired crown. Not all crowns are desired. Some crowns are merely a case of ‘it is better than nothing’. Do you know that there are ladies who marry on the basis of ‘it is better than nothing?’ Such was not the case of Elisha.
The fire of determination in him saved the day for him along the journey path, and kept his eyes fixed on his master near the finish line so that as the whirlwind and the fiery chariots parted them, faith sponsored and fueled by determination opened his eyes to see his master being taken up into heaven and of course, the sight of his master gained him the desired crown. Fear in him would simply have blinded him from seeing that eventual success of the finish line.
Determination always keeps faith in action and in focus. In these 21 days of waiting on the Lord, please do not tire out. Keep your eagle eyes fixed on the Master, Christ Jesus. Not a single but a double portion of all requests you shall gain as definite testimonies in the end.

IN THE END, THE START OF ANY JOURNEY NEVER COUNTS BUT THE KEY OF DETERMINATION AND TENACITY AND INDEED THE ATTAINMENT OF THE FINAL SUCCESS. AS SUCH, DO EVERYTHING TO FIND TIME TO PRAY DESPITE ALL ODDS AGAINST YOU.

Question and Answer Section
Question: What is that one thing for fuelling the fire of determination?
Answer: Constantly encouraging oneself.

THE MYSTERY OF VICTORY AT THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 2 – Sunday, 12th January, 2020
(Matt.26:41, 1 Pet.5:8, Isaiah 25:6)
THE MYSTERY OF VICTORY AT THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION

Have you ever wondered why the Lord gave this instruction to His apostles to ‘watch and pray’ in Matthew chapter 26:41? One answer is to say that the instruction was given to safeguard them at the hour of temptation.
Without doubt, the Lord meant much more. First, it is good to understand the import of the word ‘watch’. Watch simply means be vigilant. In the context therefore, watch meant be vigilant so that the wind of the coming temptation does not sweep you away.
However, I perceive in my spirit that there is much more still. The question of great necessity is why must we watch. In order to understand this, watch out for this mystery. At every point of temptation, three parties are involved.
These include the one who is being dragged into temptation, the Almighty God and the tempter himself who could be satan or the flesh.
The tempter at this point is present in order to introduce two things: (1) weakness into the one being tempted so that the one being tempted may fall, and (2) spiritual blindness of the heart into the tempted one so that he or she cannot see the joy and blessings of victory after the tempter fails.
At the same time, the reason the Almighty God is present at that point is equally obvious. It is the reason of giving strength to the one who is being tempted. To obtain such strength however, the one being tempted must be vigilant, constantly watching out for God’s divine assistance. He or she must not lose guard at any time.
The point is this: at the point of every temptation, there is but one thing to do. It is the one thing of ‘looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith’. The enemy puts in the veil of a covering cast over the eyes of believers to see the reason they need to revenge when hurt, to see the need to fight back for their rights and the need to show their rage.
In these 21 days of seeking the face of the Lord, it is the time to be vigilant, shun fleshly activities and concentrate on the One with whom we have to do.
IN THE END, THE GREATEST AND FOREMOST VICTORY OF EVERY PRAYING PERSON IS VICTORY OVER THE FLESH. ONCE THIS IS GAINED, VICTORY AND TESTIMONIES OVER EVERY OTHER THING IS A SURE GUARANTEE.

Question and Answer Section
Question: What must first die before full victory can be gained?
Answer: the flesh.

SUSPENSION NOT CANCELLATION; DELAYED NOT DENIED: YOUR EXPECTATION WILL CERTAINLY BIRTH YOUR MANIFESTATION

THE MESSAGE NOW

Vol. 5, No. 1 – Sunday, 5th January, 2020
(Dan.4:33-36, 2 Kings.8:1-6, Ruth.1, 2, 3)

SUSPENSION NOT CANCELLATION; DELAYED NOT DENIED: YOUR EXPECTATION WILL CERTAINLY BIRTH YOUR MANIFESTATION

Welcome to a glorious brand New Year in Jesus name. Be reminded that the New Year, year 2020 is a complete year of victories, hope, mercy, solution and achievements. I decree that in the accomplishment of God’s greatness in this New Year, our record of success will not be empty.
Let me begin this edition of The Message Now with a few hard facts. It is a statement of hard truth that one of the most difficult people to convince is a discouraged, depressed or a spiritually dead person. The question is why is this so?
It is so because the discouraged, the depressed and the spiritually dead often hold the argument that ‘I have tried this and that before. Therefore it is not new’. Other times, some even query by noting that ‘where was God when so and so were happening to me?’
Beloved, maybe this too is similar to your experience in the just gone year, 2019. And perhaps you aren’t expecting much difference with the New Year, 2020. Understand that to fail to have an expectation is to deliberately plan for non-achievements.
Note that for any good thing to manifest in the realm of reality there must first and foremost exist an expectation of that good thing in the heart of man. For expectation alone breeds and beget manifestation.
The woman in our second Scripture (without being told) had an expectation that the king of Israel would do something to succor her situation as soon as she brought her case before him. Did not her expectation beget the great manifestation she desired?
More than this, there is yet a great mystery. Do you know that as potent as the power of sin is, nonetheless sin can only suspend manifestation of one’s miracles, sin cannot cancel it. Note that the agenda of God is the direct handwriting of the Almighty supported by His divine seal.
Because of the input of divinity in the given agenda, such agenda or manifestation can only be delayed, it cannot be denied. I have not written this to waterdown the power of sin or in order to encourage frivolities and the freedom to commit sin. Let us examine the story of king Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian empire.
Like the woman in our second Scripture, king Nebuchadnezzar was driven away from among men for 7 years. On his return to sanity, the greatness and faithfulness of God had made him to lose nothing. Or is it not shocking that even his throne was not contested over by anyone through out those 7 years of his absence from the kingdom?
History holds true the fact that the Medo-Persian empire (modern day Iran) have always been enemies at war with the Babylonians (the modern day Iraq). Why is it that whilst king Nebuchadnezzar was sent on divine exile, the Medo-Persians did not cease the opportunity to overthrow the government of Babylon? This, the Medo-Persians eventually did in Daniel chapter 5 during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar’s son who was in every way so narcissistically arrogant like his father.
The overall point is an obvious one: keep the fire of your expectation ever aglow. The manifestation of that expectation is only a matter of time. Know this for certain that nothing can cancel God’s divine agenda for your life. The worst they can do is to suspend it.
Know this also for certain that the more your expectation drags on the more and the greater your manifestation will turn out to be. The expectation of all humanity waited for four hundred years in which God Almighty spoke to no one (that is between Malachi and Matthew) all because the biggest miracle of all was about to be given to mankind.
Four hundred years! That was a terrible long wait but it produced the greatest manifestation of blessing ever known to man. It was after four hundred years wait that God remembered mankind and sent His only begotten son with the uncommon passion to love, care, die for the entirety of humanity and redeem the whole of human race from eternal damnation.
IN THE END, THEREFORE, UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR AWAITED HUSBAND, WIFE, TRIP TO THAT GLORIOUS LAND, YOUR MIRACLE BABIES, YOUR DESIRED PROSPERITY, PROMOTION AND PROGRESS, THE CERTIFICATE(s) BEING PURSUED, THE ONCE DELAYED ANSWERS TO PRAYERS AND TRANSFORMING IDEAS AND LIFE-CHANGING CONTRACTS WILL CERTAINLY AND SOON DAWN THE DOORSTEP OF PERFECT REALITY. THIS THEN WILL TEACH YOU THE LESSON THAT THE UNFAITHFULNESS OF MAN WILL NEVER CHANGE THE FAITHFUL NATURE OF THE ALMIGHTY.
Question and Answer Section
Question: Who did the Bible refer to as ‘spreading like the green bay tree’?
Answer: ‘the wicked’.

HIS DREAM NEVER SAW THE DAWN OF REALITY UNTIL 30 YEARS AFTER

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 4, No. 4 – Monday, 28th January, 2019
(Esther.6:1-13)
HIS DREAM NEVER SAW THE DAWN OF REALITY UNTIL 30 YEARS AFTER

One day, at about the age of 6, a boy awoke from his extremely glorious dream. In his dream, he saw himself dressed in an academic gown obviously in the arena of an ongoing convocation ceremony. What wondered the boy so greatly was the pleasantries being showered on him by the people in the convocation arena. Virtually everyone approaching him congratulated him by calling him ‘Doctor’, Doctor, Doctor, and so on.

Awaking with excitement, the dreamer-boy told the dream first to his stepmother. For his own mother was not around anyway. When his mother eventually returned, this dreamer-boy narrated the same dream to her. As though with unusual spontaneity, his mother quickly bursted out with great trepidation questioning her son, ‘hope you haven’t told this dream to anyone yet?’ I have told so, so, the boy responded. The sorrowful look on his mother’s face told the rest of the story.

It was a dream given to that boy when he was six years of age. But that dream never saw the dawn of reality until thirty years later. This means that it was not until the boy had become 36 years of age before just one great dream could be realized. In fact, were it not for the powerful force of effective prayers, that one glorious dream would have remained in obscurity forever.

Please pray the following prayers with real fire not just in your voices but from your holy hearts.

  1. Where are the evil bankers holding back my glorious dreams from reality, please Holy Spirit, sack them now.
  2. O dark vaults of evil banks where my glorious dreams are stored, catch fire and release my breakthroughs.
  3. How long shall I be delayed from manifesting? O delaying forces, God is against you. Die now, in the name of the Lord Jesus.My glorious dreams, come alive, in the name of the Lord Jesus.
  4. Evil dreams and evil calendar working or programmed to work against me, catch fire.
  5. Spirits monitoring my dream life and glorious dreams, let your eyes, ears and powers be terminated from functioning.
  6. Wasters of my time and efforts and all postponers of my glorious turn, let your hands and powers wither and die.
  7. O wicked yokes of promise and fail, be broken now.
  8. Failure at the edge of breakthroughs, I want to see you no more;Therefore, by the power of the Holy Ghost, I sack you now.
  9. Evil forces spreading breast cancer through dreams and diverse ways,let your power and schemes be nullified now.
  10. Dream hackers and attackers, collide against the Rock of Ages.
  11. Who are those attacking and preparing to attack my divine helpers, O thunder of God, shatter them into ashes.

Only God can tell for how long Mordecai had been a mere gatekeeper. But like the dreamer-boy, God answered the three-day fasting of Mordecai and caused him to be remembered at the nick of the time. Understand this dearly beloved that despite Mordecai’s lowly position, yet Haman, a noble prince envied him. I prophesy: whosoever is envying you because of your glory, and hurting you in the process, they shall not see the end of this quarter.

Listen dearly beloved, God is still in the business of causing His children to be remembered by those that matter. The content of verses 2-10 and 13 of todays scripture are instructive and worthy of serious spiritual attention in this respect.

To start with, consider king Ahasuerus, the ruler of 127 provinces to be a type of God on earth. Consider Mordecai to be a servant working for this earthly God with all humility but without reward. Not only was he not rewarded, he was not even remembered. But surely, there is always an expiration to every forgettedness. Was it not the case with Joseph? Did not the chief butler forget him for two whole years? But the day of reckoning with the records eventually came triggered by a dream event which required Joseph’s skill.

Also, in Mordecai’s case, the day of glorious reckoning could not be postponed. Sleep, which the king loves to enjoy most was taken from him, and his mind was twinged back to the many years of service by Mordecai. What is even more interesting is the fact that Mordecai’s celebration took place on the twelfth (not even the eleventh) hour when the enemy (Haman) had concluded all his evil agenda. At the end, the death and destruction he planned for Mordecai became his own lot. Have you forgotten dearly beloved that God promised that He will ‘give life in exchange for our lives?’

Much more, understand the purport of verse 13 of Esther’s chapter 6. This verse means that as a spiritual Jew, you are untouchable. Whosoever touches you, touches the apple of God’s eyes.

I decree therefore that as Mordecai the Jew ended up in greatness, honour and celebration, so shall be your case. Surrounded by satanic siege? By the power of the Holy Spirit, let that siege be broken into pieces, shattered and exist no more, in Jesus name, Amen. I decree in the name of the Lord Jesus that your time of manifesting shall be sped up from henceforth.

IN THE END, YOU AND I ARE THE MORDECAI AND JOSEPH OF OUR OWN GENERATION. LET US RISE UP TO PRAY AND ALSO DO THE KING’S BUSINESS. OUR PEACE AND PROSPERITY IS NOW HERE DIFFERENT FROM BEING NO WHERE AS IT WAS BEFORE TODAY.

PROPHETIC WORDS ARE SHARPER THAN THE SHARPEST SWORDS FOR WAR


THE MESSAGE NOW Vol. 4, No. 3 – Monday, 21st January, 2019 (Exo.10:28-29, Exo.14:13)
PROPHETIC WORDS ARE SHARPER THAN THE SHARPEST SWORDS FOR WAR

A statement of common parlance informs us that ‘when two strong metals collide in a clash, the metal with the lesser power will bend to that which is stronger. The situation has no difference in the parlance of thoughts and words.
Thoughts and words have enormous force and power and can therefore be very strong and result-oriented when activated. Their controlling effects are phenomenal that their potency includes the effectual power to confirm a thing or statement, sign off and sign to, seal and even deliver with effortless ease.

It is true about the character of thoughts and words that thoughts and words can equally bow or bend like the lesser metal depending on the strength of the opposing thoughts or words. Understand the secret that nothing good or evil will ever kiss the shores of reality except it is first conceived in the thoughts and believingly expressed in words whether orally or in written form. If they kiss the shores of reality, then it means that there has been some prevalence over certain contrary thoughts or words.
Understand further that every thought or word of challenge ever conceived or expressed is a prophetic statement be it for a good course or a bad one. The unassailable truth is this: thoughts and words are decrees with enormous power.

A NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE IN A NEW YEAR EXPEDITION (Part 2)

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 4, No. 2 – Monday, 14th January, 2019
(Ps.110:1-4, Deut.1:22-46, Deut.32:29, Eph.2:15, 4:24, Col.3:10)
A NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE IN A NEW YEAR EXPEDITION
(Part 2)

Being ahead of time, in time and on time are at all times the language and nature of any goal-getter. Spiritual exercises such as praying and fasting are fantastic for facilitating miracles into reality. But attitude sustain those miracles.

Attitude, to most Christians is a reference to a life of sin or otherwise. Ah! that is correct. But in this context, much more. A cultural attitude of effective time management is a foremost concern. For instance, the only aptitude for an interview for a new job may simply be time management examination in whatever spectrum the employer chooses to go about it.

You have often heard or read that ‘time is money’. Amidst a number of interpretations, this statement could mean that financial prosperity favours those who values its principle of time maximisation. Right timing to the hour of prayer and to one’s chosen prayer altar is biblical.

Indeed, talking about time and prayer, the Bible refers to the phrase ‘hour of prayer’ on different occasions (see Acts.3 and Acts.10). The singular reason why most people are either behind time or outrightly make nonsense of allotted time is because of their lack of vision or value for what that time is meant for or what that time is to be used for.

Excuses always abound for misuse of time. For instance, the blame game on other people always argues that ’Joy was responsible for Jane’s late arrival’. The truth of the matter is that in most cases, Jane simply chose to be late. For no one can waste your time without your consent.

What this further means is that explicitly or implicitly, Joy consented to Jane’s spurious attitude to the waste of her time. Who then is to blame but Joy who gave her assent to a nonsense attitude. For shouldn’t Joy have realized that time is a most invalued and phenomenal currency that only when it is expended wisely will meaningful results be gained?

Here is the conclusion of the entire details. In an attitude where man is a failure within the realms of humanity, such a man cannot record success in his partnership with divinity. Did I hear you shout how?! It is pure righteous living to wait for God when He says ‘wait’. It is equally a mark of righteousness to make a bullet-start as soon as God says ‘go’.

Our first two texts in this context speak volume especially in the context of instant response timed instruction and faithful patience. Talking about meaningful use of time by dint of faithful patience, our first text in this edition (Ps.110:1-4 reads:
‘1. The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool’. [So, O God, if I expend my time sitting patiently for you; you would make my enemies surrender to me isn’t it? What more, Lord?]
2 The Lord shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not relent, you are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek’.

Understand dearly beloved that all the blessings that subsequently followed from verses 2-4 are a function of the obedience to time management by reason of stillness (that is patient waiting) at divine instruction. In a sense, one is also saying that an attitude of effective time management equally means being patient, tenaciously persevering for a good course to happen and exercising sustained endurance in the face of violent pressures.

IN THE END, I PROPHESY THAT THREE GREAT THINGS; SUCH THAT HAS NEVER OCCURRED IN YOUR LIFE BEFORE TIME SHALL HAPPEN THIS YEAR. THE STRUGGLES AND SUFFERINGS OF SEVERAL YEARS SHALL YIELD THEIR DESIRED MIRACLES FOR YOU THIS YEAR. AS THE LORD LIVES AND HIS SPIRIT ENDURES, THIS YEAR YOU SHALL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A LIVING GOD SITTED UP IN HEAVEN.
SHALOM.

A NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE IN A NEW YEAR EXPEDITION (Part 1)

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 4, No. 1 – Monday, 7th January, 2019
(Deut.32:29, Eph.2:15, 4:24, Col.3:10)
A NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE IN A NEW YEAR EXPEDITION
(Part 1)

The start of a new year begins with fresh set-goals: new determinations, new targets, new resolutions and so on. Indeed, new resolutions is a common lexicon in the vocabulary of so many. Whilst these set-goals are very attractive on the surface, two key preconditions are often left missing.

In most men’s calculations at the start of almost every year in the existence of man, more often than not, men do not understand that none of these set-golas will ever see the dawn of reality without two preponderant preconditions. The preconditions of new time management and new life experience in God are no doubt absolute. New determinations, fresh decisions and new targets are simply paramount. Get the grammatic syntax well understood.

In the hierarchical comparison between absolute and paramount, the former takes precedence over the latter. By implication, no new resolutions, determinations, targets or decisions will ever record success without effective time management and new life of godliness preceeding. It is a statement of fact that one of the greatest banes which has greatly bedeviled Africa and Africans and left the continent in deep mire of retrogression is poor time management and the fact that many of us Africans do not know God.

Do not get me wrong. I am not drawing a racial comparison. But I have discovered a major difference between African black and the European and the American. Religiously speaking, many Europeans and Americans do not recognize the existence of God but they embrace His principles. On the contrary, Africans claim to know God better than the European and the American but Africans on a large scale refused to embrace God’s principles. This is the difference: observance of principles always produces productive results. Conversely, non-observance of principles produces counterproductive reactions.

The first text in this first edition of 2019 reads: ‘O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!’ That is a Scripture in the Bible that sustains my attention almost every time. Why? Among many things, it is saying that there is consequence(s) for actions or inactions.

IN THE END, WILL YOUR GLORIOUS CHANGE COME THIS YEAR? IT WILL BE DETERMINED BY NO TWO OTHER PRECONDITIONS: NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE AND NEW ATTITUDE AND CULTURE TO TIME MANAGEMENT. (TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK).
