MY FRIENDS, IF YOU CAN’T SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT SOMEONE, JUST PRAY!

As God’s children, we have to begin removing every weight of sin that does not allow us to walk in the footsteps of Christ, that is all sin’s that “so easily beset us, as we run with patience the race that is set before us, while looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;” Heb. 12:1 (KJV)

My friends, each day that we give Satan entry into our life through our mouth, only gives him bragging rights among his forces of evil as he tells them, they are now my sheep that I have personally lead to be slaughtered, I now control their destination because of their “idle talk and rumors, especially about the personal and private affairs of others.”

In addition, I have conquered another from the grace and mercy of my enemy. My friends remember before you say anything about another child of God ask yourself as a Christian “Is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?” And would God approve of what I am saying about one of His Children that He has shed His blood on Calvary for.

A story is told about a young lady going to a dance as a teen. “My mother was waiting for me when I came home,” she wrote. “But instead of telling her I had a great time, I regaled her with a scathing description of some incredible nerd who’d tried to dance with me.

In essence, I said that this guy had a lot of nerve to expect anyone to dance with a person as weird and ugly as he was.” When I finished my tirade, my mom said, “You know, this boy you find ugly and weird is some mother’s pride and joy.

She waited for him to come home, just like I waited for you, hoping to hear he’d had a nice time at the dance. But when he came home, she saw his face, she knew someone hurt him, and it broke her heart. So the next time a boy asks you to dance, before you turn him down or make fun of him, just remember: Every boy is some mother’s son.”

So My friends, when we speak about another, just remember they are a child of God that He loves just as much as He loves us that He is also looking forward to seeing in his kingdom because we are all God’s Children. So if you can’t say something nice about someone, just pray!

John 3:1 (KJV) tells us “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God;” So what that text tells us is “God does not show favoritism…” “that all men and women are created equal and endowed by their Creator” with love, grace and mercy and Salvation if we believe.

Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) tells us too “Let no corrupt speech proceed out of our mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.” As I look at the world today there is such a grey area in our mind about what we can and cannot say, but certainly not in God’s sight.

My friends lying and gossiping is an abomination to God. Solomon tells us in Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: and the four that I  would like to bring to everyone’s attentions today is;

A lying tongue, a heart that devises wicked schemes, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.”’ John tells us in John 13:34-35 (NIV) “A new command I give you: Love one another.

As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” And my friends with that love just remember, if you can’t say something nice about someone, just pray!

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
