The Words of our Mouth

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
- Colossians 4:6

The way we talk as a believer matters a lot. What we say should always be words that shows we are Christ-like. 
So many homes, friendship, business has been ruin by the word of mouth. 

Imagine a food that is seasoned with salt and another that is not. When we speak profanity, we are like food that has no salt. We should be mindful of our speech. Abusive and insulting words should be far from our mouth. 

Parents, watch the words you speak to your children when angry, do not curse them out of annoyance.

Husbands and wives should be careful of words that comes out of their mouth to one another. Build each other up and not tear one another down.

Friends should encourage one mother with edifying  words.

The words we speak are either life or death. Word are powerful, it's like an egg, when broken, it can't be mend back. 

You can only speak with grace when your mind is full of grace. When your thoughts are right, your speech will be graceful. 

It's Monday, the start of a new working week. I pray that the words we speak will not put us in trouble neither will it be used against us.

Speak life, speak healing, speak hope, speak love, speak well and speak with grace.

Good Morning and do have a gracious week.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
