TOPIC: THE TRAGEDY OF IDLE WORDS.
TEXT: MATTHEW 12: 36-37, PROVERB 6:2,
MINISTERING: DR D.K OLUKOYA (G.O MFM WORLDWIDE)
★One of the greatest powers available in this our universe is the power of words.
★Words can create.
★Words can destroy.
★If you can control your words, I tell you beloved you can control any parts of your body.
★Satan is a falling angel, satan has no creating power, he has to use the power delegated unto man then manipulate to his own advantage.
★Satan has no creating power but he uses human words to destroy human beings.
★And so some people are actually cursing themselves with the words of their mouths.
★There is something the bible calls self-impose curses.
★The enemy is not harassing you, the witches are not talking about you, but you are not the one using your own mouth to impose curses on yourself, which is what the devil wants, he has no power to do it but you now offer that facility.
★The words we speak about ourselves has frightening power, because they fly back and strike the speaker.
★Idle words are those words you just speak carelessly without meditating, no pre-meditation you just open your mouth and begin to talk.
★Many of us have work to do on this before this coming year.
★The fact that you do not really mean what you said, it does not cancel the effect of such words, it does not release you of the accountability of those things you have said.
★Beloved take this from this service this morning, all idle words carry weight, that’s the bible says “BE QUICK TO HEAR, BE SLOW TO SPEAK”.
★GOD gave us to ears to hear, two eyes to see, two nostrils to breathe, just one mouth to speak, meaning that it’s only half of what you hear, you can talk.
★So this is one area we really need to address, people are snared with the words of their mouth or they put themselves in a trap with the words of their mouth.
1. We must realize that GOD takes our words seriously,
2. We must realize that the devil too wants to manipulate those words.
3. We must realize that body listens to the words of your mouth, it hears what you are saying and takes it seriously, even the baby in the womb hears what parents are saying, you are fighting, and cursing each other the baby is getting the information.
★What people pronounce on themselves is so bad.
★GOD takes our words seriously, the devil uses our words to destroy and it is a very serious matter.
★When somebody invokes a curse on him selves, it has to be cancelled.
★Peter invoked a curse on himself, three days later, the angels at the tomb was speaking this strange words, Peter was no longer reckoned with in heaven, as a disciple, by his own words he forfeited standing with JESUS as a disciple, because he denied JESUS.
★JESUS has to pray for peter and put the same three questions to him, that peter loveth thou me? Three times, so JESUS use this three pronounce to cancel the previous denial and break the self-imposed curses that peter put on him selves.
★If you have been talking what you should not talk, you need to repent, you need to renounce and reject those words, you need to revoke and cancel them, and you need to replace those words with the words of power and glory.
★It is worse when those destructive don’t come from men, not from GOD, not even from the devil bit is the person saying it.
★For example, when someone is saying, he/she is tired of living, nothing ever goes right, what is the use in trying, it won’t work, say he/she wants to give up, and all these things are destructive words.
★I can’t take any more of this, saying he/she married a useless husband/wife, saying these children are hopeless, examination are always very tough, this is driving me mad, somebody is say that they don’t think they would ever get married.
★We must start rejecting evil prophecies and cancelling all these evil words that have had terrible effects on people’s lives.
PRAYER POINT:
1. RAISE UP YOUR HANDS, AND SHOUT THIS PRAYER, CURSES THAT I HAVE SPOKEN ON MY OWN LIFE, BREAK, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN.
God bless you🙏
