*The mystery of Two working together in Agreement*

*“Two are better than one because they have a more satisfying return for their labor; for if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and does not have another to lift him up. Again, if two lie down together, then they keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? And though one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”*
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬

# When Two persons work in agreement, their reward is much.
# When one falls, the other will lift him up
# It’s hard for one to rise up from fall alone
# When Two lie together as spouses, they warm each other up.

*LESSONS FROM THE BIBLE*

*“Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?”* Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

# God created them male and female for companionship, fellowship, service and procreation
# Jesus sent them in Twos. They complement each other in strength, knowledge and wisdom. When one doubts, the other will remind him of the word of The Lord. *Luke 10:1*
# Peter and John were successful business partners. Together, they connected with Jesus. Together they followed The Lord. Together, they became Apoostles and worked together after their upper room experience. Together, they raised the lame at the Gate Beautiful. As Peter was talking to the lame man, John was probably supporting with prayer and reinforcing Peter’s declaration. And they both led him into the Temple. *Acts 3:1-8*
# When Moses sent 12 leaders of each tribe of Israel to go and spy the promised land, only Two full of the Holy Spirit gave good report. They led Israelites into the promise land to possess it. *Numbers 14:38*
# Joshua sent Two spies to Jericho. Because, their hearts were knitted together, they succeeded. *Joshua 2:1-24*
# When Two shall agree together as to touching anything, it shall be done unto them by the Father. Praying when the two hearts are in agreement is so powerful. *Matthew 18:19*
# When Two or Three shall gather together in His Name, God is there with them. *Matthew 18:20*
# God is a relationship God. He said, *let us create man in Our own image and after Our likeness* *Genesis 1:26*
# God would come in the cool of the day to fellowship with Adam. *Genesis 3:8*
# It’s a great thing to have a prayer 🙏 partner whose heart is knitted together with yours. Please, pray about it. A house divided against itself can’t stand. *It is important for spouses should pray together in agreement. It makes the home godly, beautiful and blessed.*

Beloved, have a fruitful and blessed weekend ❤️✝️📖🙏🔥🍎🍓🍒🍅🍇

*TITHES: Old Testament & New Testament*

*Old Testament:*

*“I have told you my commands. But you do not listen to me any longer. You have not obeyed me, even since the time of your ancestors. Now, return to me! Then I will return to bless you.’ That is what the Lord Almighty says. ‘But you ask, “How do we return to you?” I say to you, “A man should not rob God. But you are robbing me.” But you ask, “How do we rob you?” I say, “You do not give to me the tithes and the offerings that you should give.” Yes, all of you are robbing me. The whole nation of Israel is guilty. So you will receive the punishment of a curse. Now you must bring the whole tithe that belongs to me. Store it in my temple, so that there will be food in my house. Obey me and then see what I will do.’ That is what the Lord Almighty says. ‘You will see how much I will bless you! You will not have enough room to store all the good things that I will give to you. I will pour blessings out of the sky like rain. I will stop insects from eating your crops. The grapes will not fall from your vines before they are ready to eat. You will be happy to live in your land. The people of all the other nations will see that God has blessed you.’ That is what the Lord Almighty says.”*
‭‭Malachi‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭12‬ ‭EASY‬‬

Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament.
# God reminds His people to return to Him
# And to obey His commands
# They should stop robbing Him in tithing and offering. Instead, they should try Him with their obedience
# God promised to open window of heaven and pour out a Blessing on them
# He would rebuke devourer for their sake
# They will be blessed and lend to nations.

New Testament:
In the New Testament, our Lord Jesus Christ taught a lot about money, wealth and riches. But, only in Matthew 23:23 is tithe taught as a rebuke to Jewish religious leaders. They often asked people for their tithe but weightier issues of the law is neglected:

*“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cu**in, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.”*
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Instead, Jesus Christ taught His disciples to firstly give themselves wholly to Him and secondly to lay their treasure in heaven not just on earth:
*“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”*
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

*“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”* Luke 12:21 NLT

*”So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.“* ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭29‬-‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

#!Under the law, tithing our 10th in righteousness is emphasized because it belongs to God. You don’t pay tithe, you give it because it’s not yours.
# Under grace and in the New Testament, God through Christ own us and our resources. Therefore, 10th is just the least. We should be led by the Holy Spirit in giving: *Romans 8:14*

*“Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.”*
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

*“And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”*
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭36‬-‭37‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

*“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”*
‭‭Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV

*How not to give to God our tithes and offerings:*

# Give to God in righteousness. *Malachi 3:1-3. Romans 12:1-2*
# Honour God with our tithes and offerings. *Proverbs 3:9-10*
# Give from our hearts. *Exodus 25:1-2*
# Give to God with a grateful heart and trust Him all the way. *Proverbs 3:5-6*
# Give cheerfully and bountifully without compulsion, no grumbling or anyone use gimmicks for you to give.
*2 Corinthians 9:6-11*
# Don’t give lame or mutilated tithes and offerings. *Malachi 1:6-8*
Don’t give proceeds of fraud. *Proverbs 13:11*

*Discipleship Tips*

RELIANCE ON CHRIST & HIS WORD

*”But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.“*
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭AMP‬‬

1- Our focus on the kingdom of God
2- Our focus on the kingdom righteousness.
3- Living by kingdom principles: His way of living and doing things: attributes and character of Christ.
4- Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you
5- Plan and live by the word and the Spirit. Avoid anxiety instead, follow your heart in working your plan. God will meet you at the point of your need and you will have enough and even to spare. *Obedience to Christ’s word will lead to open doors for His own disciples.*

*”If you ask Me anything in My name [as My representative], I will do it. “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.“*
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭AMP‬‬

*THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF JESUS: SALVATION BY HIS RESURRECTION POWER!*

Pastor Wole Gbogboade

*Text: 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4, 14 CEB*

*"I passed on to you as most important what I also received: Christ died for our sins in line with the scriptures, he was buried, and he rose on the third day in line with the scriptures....If Christ hasn’t been raised, then our preaching is useless and your faith is useless."*
1 Corinthians 15:3-4,14 CEB"

Jesus paid the Supreme price of crucifixion preceded by prayer at Gethsemane to prepare for the miracle of resurrection. *Hebrews 5:7. CEB.* Hence, the New Testament is written in His blood. *"In the same way, he took the cup after the meal and said, “This cup is the new covenant by my blood, which is poured out for you."* Luke 22:20 CEB

# Paul, declaring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles as power of resurrection. Who was betrayed and crucified because of our sins, and was raised [from the dead] because of our justification [our acquittal—absolving us of all sin before God]. *"Romans 4:25 AMP.* The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the transformation of sinners to saints for those who believe. The vessel is the message of the cross. *Romans 1:16-17.* Jesus had made His mission on planet earth clear when He said, *"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."* Matthew 18:11 KJV

# Transformation is the first evidence of Salvation. *"He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]."* 2 Corinthians 5:21 AMP

# Justification: Just as if you never sinned. Testimony of sinner who becomes saint through Christ's resurrection power. He rose from the dead for our justification.

*“Who was betrayed and crucified because of our sins, and was raised [from the dead] because of our justification [our acquittal—absolving us of all sin before God].”* Romans 4: 25 AMP

# Even, God’s angels rejoice in heaven when a sinner repents on earth. Why? Heaven is populated and hell is being depopulated. No angels rejoice for material miracles but the people. That’s evidently why eternal life is a more important to our God who is pleased with the prosperity (spirit, soul and body of His people-the saints/saved)

# Only salvation attracts jubilation of angels in heaven." That’s the way God responds every time one lost sinner repents and turns to Him. He says to all his angels,
*”Let’s have a joyous celebration, for the one who was lost, I have found.”* Luke 15:10 TPT

# The first fruit empowered by the Holy Spirit is the fruit of repentance, a change in attitude, behavior and kingdom character.

*"Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God."* Matthew 3:8 NLT

*Apostle Paul's Testimony*

*"Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come."* 2 Corinthians 5:17 GNT

*Galatians 2: 20-21 MSG*

*"Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily."*
Galatians 2: 20-21 MSG

*Apostle John’s Testimony: 1 John 1:1-4*

*“I am writing about] what existed from the beginning, what [a]we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life [the One who existed even before the beginning of the world, Christ] and the Life [an aspect of His being] was manifested, and we have seen [it as eyewitnesses] and testify and declare to you [the Life], the eternal Life who was [already existing] with the Father and was [actually] made visible to us [His followers] what we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, so that you too may have fellowship [as partners] with us. And indeed our fellowship [which is a distinguishing mark of born-again believers] is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.”* 1 John 1: 1-3 AMP


*3 John 1: 2-4*

*”Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically, just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]. For I was greatly pleased when [some of the] brothers came [from time to time] and testified to your [faithfulness to the] truth [of the gospel message], that is, how you are walking in truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my [spiritual] children are living [their lives] in the truth.”* 3 John 2-4 AMP

*Apostle Peter’s Testimony:*

*1 Peter 1: 17-23 NLT*

*”And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.” For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake. Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters.[a] Love each other deeply with all your heart.[b] For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.”* 1 Peter 1:17-23. NLT

*2 Peter 1:16-23*

*”For we did not follow cleverly devised stories or myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were [a]eyewitnesses of His majesty [His grandeur, His authority, His sovereignty]. For when He was invested with honor and [the radiance of the [b]Shekinah] glory from God the Father, such a voice as this came to Him from the [splendid] Majestic Glory [in the bright cloud that overshadowed Him, saying], [c]“This is My Son, My Beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased and delighted” and we [actually] heard this voice made from heaven when we were together with Him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic word made more certain. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the [d]morning star arises in your hearts. [e]But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one’s own [personal or special] interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”*
2 Peter 1: 16-21 AMP

Beloved, continue to flourish in Christ's Resurrection Power.❤️✝️📖🙏🏼🔥🍅🍓🍎🍒🍇

*ONE VOICE: TWO MESSAGES Part 1*

*”“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’“*
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The Lord says:
1- Not all that call me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. (Serious!)
2- Many will say on judgement day, Lord, Lord we prophesied and cast out demons in your name.
3- But, The Lord will reply, *I never knew you because you lived a lawless life by not obeying My commands.*

# In the kingdom, our Lord, The King’s emphasis is on relationship before serving not just service. *Matthew 11:28-30*
# You have to be His follower first, to know Him before you can serve Him acceptably. And serving Him is to make Him known to others first. We are first to reflect His light by abiding in Him.
# In the kingdom, activity will never replace obedience to His Word and commands. *1 John 2:15-17*
# The Lord cherishes our relationship with Him more than our service. Therefore, our service must be borne out of love for Him and His and His Kingdom righteousness. *Matthew 6:33. John 10:27-30. John 17:11-12*
# *The Lord will never give you any work that will make you self dependent. You need Him in every aspect and level to accomplish His purpose.*
# Following the kingdom principles is paramount to life, living and services in the kingdom.
*1 Thessalonians 1:2-3*
# *Emphasis is more on character than charisma in the kingdom.*
# *In the kingdom, the fruit of the Spirit leads to heaven not just the gifts of the Spirit.* *1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13*

Prayer: Lord, help me to pay more attention to developing intimacy with you and your lifestyle.
May I not labour in vain and bring forth for trouble. Help me to serve you acceptably and to please You not me. Amen
Beloved, have a fruitful week ❤️✝️📖🙏🔥🍎🍒🍓🍅🍇

*ONE VOICE: TWO MESSAGES Part 2*

*”His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.’“*
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭21‬ ‭AMP‬‬
*”Jesus said to them, “I assure you who have followed me that, when everything is made new, when the Human One sits on his magnificent throne, you also will sit on twelve thrones overseeing the twelve tribes of Israel.“*
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭28‬ ‭CEB‬‬

1- The Lord would welcome a faithful and trustworthy servant home.
2- This one would share in the joy of the Master
3- The word faithful and trustworthy is borne out following the Lord in obedience. *John 14: 21*
4 The Lord is joyful to accept this servant and his service
5- They followed The Lord first to know Him and go through the process of becoming His disciples. *You can’t serve effectively the One you don’t know. And you can’t give what you don’t have. God does not use unprepared vessel for long*

*”He appointed the Twelve, whom he named apostles. He wanted them to be continually at his side as his friends, and so that he could send them out to preach“* ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬ ‭TPT‬‬

*Process for those heaven bound:*
*”I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them: He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.“* Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭47‬-‭48‬ ‭BSB‬‬

# First is to come to Him: learn of Him. After you’re saved, you need to follow Him.
# Listen to His Words and watch His deeds as He teaches.
# Practice His Words to walk in His Ways
# Live His lifestyle as your role Model. *John 10:27-30. Acts 1:1. Colossians 3:15-17*
# When temptation, trials, persecution or deception comes from the enemy, fight a good fight of faith. *2 Timothy 4:6-8*

*Testimony:*
The Lord never said, *I knew you not…* to those who tabernacle in His Word to glean from the green pasture and follow Him and obey His commands. He didn’t reject His 12 disciples like Peter, James, John, Paul, Mary Magdalene from whom He cast out 7 demons, Gadarah demoniac He delivered, the two blind men He healed etc. Not even to clandestine disciples like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. Instead, He said the 12 would take charge of the 12 tribes of Israel, some will rule cities in the new Millennium.
- Paul already saw his crown of righteousness ahead of transition to glory. *2 Timothy 4:8*
- John testified of his fellowship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. *1 John 1:1-3*
- In the Hall of Faith, all the Patriarchs and those who follow God are highlighted there. *Hebrews 11.*
- Paul also mentioned faithful saints in the Hall of Service. *Romans 16*
- These ones in paradise have become cloud of witnesses watching us run the race. *Hebrews 12:1-3*
- John was on the Island of Patmus to receive revelation of The Glorified Christ. *Revelations 1:1-3*

*Lessons Matthew 6:33:*
1- Heaven is for those who receive Jesus Christ as Saviour
2- Heaven is for believers in Christ who follow His teachings, believe and obey Him. *Colossians 2:6-7. 3:15-17, 23.*
3- Heaven is for those whose hearts resonate on Christ to live for Him by faith. *1 John 1:1-3*
4- We have to prepare for heaven here on earth. *Colossians 3:1-3. Hebrews 12:14*
5- The Lord will never deny His own. *1 John 3:1-3*

*Prayer: 1 John 2:15-17*
Lord, help us to be mindful of heaven as we journey in life.
Let our faith stand on your word and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
Help us not to be distracted, carried away or entangled with the affairs of this world in Jesus Christ Name. Amen 🙏

*”Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.“*
‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved, thanks so much for being a friend and striving together to know Him more and grow in the grace of Christ.

*Discipleship Tips*

PROSPERITY IN THE KINGDOM

*“Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit. Some of the traveling teachers recently returned and made me very happy by telling me about your faithfulness and that you are living according to the truth.”* 3 John‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Prosperity or wealth in the kingdom is word based. It must follow the principles laid down by Christ whether in the Old Testament or New Testament.
1- This is what the Bible describes as, *the blessing of The Lord, it maketh rich and He added no sorrow with it.* Proverbs 10:12.
2- It is by *following Godly principles that lasting blessings or Trans-generational blessings* manifest
# Prosperity in the kingdom is tripartite: spirit, soul and body.
# Being strong spiritually means, no cutting corners but wholly following spiritual principles.
# Good spiritual health is followed by good health in the body and lasting material blessing.
*“Be sure that the book of the Law is always read in your worship. Study it day and night, and make sure that you obey everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”* Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭GNT‬‬

Jesus taught His disciples thus,
*“So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.”* Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭TPT‬‬
The Bible says,
*“Without faith no one can please God. Whoever comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who sincerely try to find him.”*
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭ERV‬‬

God gives power to make wealth so that we will remember Him as the source and the owner of our lives and the wealth as Abraham’s seeds to fulfill His promise to him. *Deuteronomy 8:18*
# Our lives and wealth are only relevant to God as long as we honour Him. Joseph of Arimathea was so wealthy but, his name and wealth is recorded in the Bible as a disciple in whose golden tomb Jesus was buried.
# No one heard of Mary’s expensive alabaster box of spikenard oil until she poured it on Jesus.
# Only the treasure we have in heaven signifying advancing God’s kingdom and touching lives by winning souls and making disciples will glorify God. *Daniel 12: 3*
# Any ‘prosperity, wealth or riches’ that is not based on kingdom principles will not last because it does not glorify God. Therefore, it will canker, it’s a matter of time. *Proverbs 13: 11, Malachi 2: 2-3*
God’s promises are Yes and Amen.

*“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!”*
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Every miracle, blessing both spiritual, material even physical should draw us closer to Jesus Christ unto eternity’s end:

*“Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.”*
‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭DARBY

*Discipleship Tips*

*“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”* Matthew 4:4 (KJV)

# Speak the Word
# Live the Word
# Pray the Word
# Preach the Word
# Teach the Word
# Prophesy the Word
# Walk the Talk

*“Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”*
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Evidence of walking with God is: *whatever you say or do comes out of a pure heart and is driven by pure motives.*

- [ ] “Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel, and he said to them: *“Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.”* Deuteronomy‬ ‭32‬:‭45‬-‭47‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved, Happy weekend, have a great time in His Presence in the week ahead in Jesus Name. ❤️✝️📖🙏🔥🍒🍓🍅🍎🍇

*Discipleship Tips*

*“Don’t shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think. Don’t be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear. God’s in charge, not you—the less you speak, the better.”*
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬ ‭MSG‬‬

# Don’t talk when you’re angry, you may curse yourself. Samson prayed, Lord let me die with my enemies. *Judges 16:28-30 and Jews Matt. 27:24-25) Eccl. 7:9. Prov. 22:24*

# Don’t talk when you’re tired, all you need is rest in Him. When Elijah was tired, he ask God to take his life. *2 King 19:4*, Elijah
Don’t talk when you’re offended; instead forgive. *Gen. 49:7*

# Don’t talk when you’ve not heard from both sides. *Prov.18:13, 17. 25:8-9*

# Don’t talk when you’re not going to say the truth, avoid telling lies. *2 Sam. 1:5-16*

# Let your word be few. Instead, listen more. *James 1:22. Prov. 10:19-20, 13:3, 18:13. 25:15, 28*

God is not a talkative. So, let your words be few. The Bible says, even when a fool keeps quiet, he’s considered wise until he speaks. *Proverbs 17:28*

# ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU TALK & TEXT! *Prov. 29:20*
# PRAY BEFORE YOU SPEAK 🗣️
# ALWAYS SPEAK THE WORD!!
# ALWAYS BLESS, DO NOT CURSE!!
# ALWAYS TUNE IN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT!! *Romans 8:14*

*“God, give me grace to guard my lips from speaking what is wrong.”*
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭141: 3‬ ‭TPT‬‬
