THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

Speak Life • Guard Your Words

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Proverbs 21:23 (KJV) “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.”

1. WORDS HAVE POWER

Your words can build or destroy, encourage or hurt, heal or discourage.

Think before you speak.

2. GUARD YOUR MOUTH

Avoid: Gossip • Lies • Insults • Anger • Negative declarations

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) “Death and life are in the power of the tongue...”

3. SPEAK TO BUILD

Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) “...that which is good to the use of edifying...”

Before you speak, ask:

Is it true? Is it necessary? Will it build?

4. CONTROL YOUR TONGUE

When angry—pause.
When hurt—don't speak from the wound.
When blessed—give thanks.

5. SPEAK FAITH, NOT DEFEAT

Don't keep saying:
“I can't.” “I'm finished.”

Say:

“God is my strength.”
“I will not give up."
“God is with me.”

Faith-filled words don't deny reality; they refuse to surrender to defeat.

KEY LESSON

1. Think before speaking.
2. Guard your tongue.
3. Speak truth.
4. Build others.
5. Control your anger.
6. Speak life.

FINAL CHARGE

Your tongue is small, but its impact is great.

Don't use your mouth to destroy what you are praying for.

Speak wisely.
Speak graciously.
Speak life.

PRAYER

Father, help me to control my tongue and use my words wisely. Let my words bring encouragement, healing and hope. Keep me from destructive speech, and let everything I say honour You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Last Great Revival Before the Return of Christ

Theme: When God Awakens Nations Before the King Appears
Scripture Anchor: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” — Acts 2:17

Before the trumpet sounds and Christ returns in glory, Scripture declares there will be a mighty outpouring of the Spirit—a revival unlike any before. This revival is not confined to one nation or generation; it is global, sweeping across cultures, ages, and denominations. It is the final awakening, preparing the Bride for the Bridegroom.

Acts 2:17 establishes the principle: the last days are marked by a Spirit‑outpouring. Joel’s prophecy fulfilled at Pentecost points forward to a greater fulfillment before Christ’s return. Revival is heaven’s strategy to gather souls and purify the Church before the King comes.

The last great revival represents:
- Outpouring: God’s Spirit poured on all flesh.
- Harvest: Multitudes brought into the kingdom.
- Purification: The Bride made ready.
- Unity: Believers across nations joined in one Spirit.
- Testimony: Evidence of God’s power before the end.

The struggle manifests as:
- Opposition: Satanic resistance to awakening.
- Deception: False teachings to distract.
- Persecution: Pressure against the faithful.
- Complacency: Hearts asleep in comfort.
- Testing: Faith refined in fire.

- Revival is not hype—it is holy transformation.
- The last revival is not man‑made—it is Spirit‑driven.
- Opposition is not victory—it is proof of God’s movement.

From heaven’s view, the last great revival is the Bride’s final preparation. God pours His Spirit to awaken, purify, and empower His people. Heaven rejoices as nations turn, because it signals the nearness of Christ’s appearing.

What the Last Revival Produces
- Repentance: Hearts broken before God.
- Holiness: Lives set apart.
- Power: Signs, wonders, and miracles.
- Unity: Barriers broken among believers.
- Harvest: Souls gathered for eternity.

Signs the Last Revival Is Stirring
1. Global hunger: Nations crying out for truth.
2. Youth rising: Sons and daughters prophesying.
3. Supernatural manifestations: Visions, dreams, and miracles.
4. Persecution increasing: Resistance against the faithful.
5. Bride awakening: Church purified for the Bridegroom.

Assignment for Believers
- Prepare your heart: Repent and consecrate yourself.
- Seek His Spirit: Cry out for fresh outpouring.
- Reject complacency: Do not sleep in comfort.
- Stand boldly: Endure opposition with faith.
- Magnify Christ: Exalt Him as the Coming King.

Beloved, the last great revival before the return of Christ is not a distant dream—it is heaven’s promise. Do not let distraction or fear rob you of participation. His Spirit is your fire, His word is your anchor, and His coming is your hope. Awaken, for the final revival is rising, and the King is at the door.

I WOULD NOT MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT JESUS.

I’m not ashamed to say it. I NEED JESUS.

When I’m strong—I need Him.
When I’m weak—I need Him.
When life makes sense—I need Him.
When everything falls apart—I STILL need Him.

This world will tell you to depend on yourself, but I know where my strength comes from. I’ve been through too much and seen God carry me through too many things to ever believe I got here on my own.

Without Jesus, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Without His grace, mercy, and love, I don’t know where I would be.

If you can say “I WOULDN’T MAKE IT WITHOUT JESUS”, drop a below and share this with someone who needs Him today!

God can use dreams for many purposes. Here are four biblical ways He speaks through them.

1 –God Can Impart Through Dreams

In 1 Kings 3:5–12, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and invited him to ask for whatever he desired. Solomon asked for an understanding heart so that he could lead God’s people well and distinguish between right and wrong. The Lord was pleased with his request and gave him extraordinary wisdom.

Solomon did not merely dream about God—he encountered God in his dream. What happened while he slept resulted in a genuine impartation that affected his waking life.

There have been times when I sensed the Holy Spirit’s presence intensely in a dream and then awakened with that same sense of His presence in the room. A dream can become a genuine place of encounter. God can impart wisdom, courage, direction, or spiritual strength through it.

2 –God Can Reveal the Future Through Dreams

Genesis 41 records Pharaoh’s troubling dreams and Joseph’s God-given interpretation. The dreams revealed that seven years of prosperity would be followed by seven years of famine. Because God revealed what was coming, Egypt was able to prepare.

God can reveal future events through dreams. Sometimes, He may show you something before it happens; at other times, He may confirm what He has already been speaking to your heart.

Years ago, at about age ten, I had a dream in which I saw an old man carrying a load in a "Ghana Must Go" bag. I took the load from the old man and walked with him for a distance. At a point , he asked me to put the load down, and when I did, he opened the bag; it was full of Bibles. He gave me one of them and told me to cherish it. He then said he could carry on from that point. He moved a distance away and vanished into thin air. In another dream at a different time, I was given Genesis 17:1–4. In a third dream, a well-built man in a white robe came to me and gave me a briefcase, telling me to guard it well, as everything in it was for me. I opened it and found a Bible and a white handkerchief with a dove drawn at the center, inscribed with the words "Holy Spirit."

When I shared these dreams, I was told God would use me. Since then, God has used dreams to show me what lies ahead, what is present, and even what is in the past that needs to be unraveled.

3 –God Can Reveal Important Information

After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him it was safe to return to Israel with Mary and Jesus (Matthew 2:19–20). The dream provided the information Joseph needed for a decision in that moment.

Daniel also declared, “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future” (Daniel 2:28, NLT).

The Holy Spirit may reveal a missing piece of information, bring clarity to something you have been sensing, or expose a matter that needs prayer. But dreams must never make you paranoid or suspicious of everyone around you. Do not make accusations or major decisions based on a dream alone. Remain discerning, levelheaded, prayerful, and submitted to Scripture.

4 –God Can Warn Through Dreams

God may use a dream to warn you about physical danger, spiritual attack, a damaging decision, or a difficult season ahead. Sometimes a warning calls you to act; other times, it simply calls you to pray and prepare.

In Genesis 15:12–14, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a terrifying darkness came over him. God warned him that his descendants would be oppressed for 400 years, but He also promised to judge the nation that enslaved them and bring His people out with great wealth.

This passage corrects a common misconception: a dream from God will not always feel pleasant. A warning may produce a serious or even troubling emotional response. The presence of a negative emotion does not automatically prove that a dream is not from God. The more important questions are whether the message agrees with Scripture and whether it ultimately leads you toward faith, obedience, prayer, and redemption.

God bless you!

NO REHAB. JUST GOD.

I fell to my knees and asked God to take the desire away from me. I was tired of being chained to something that was destroying my life.

And then something happened that I will NEVER stop telling people about…

The next day, the desire was GONE.

No rehab.
No program.
No explanation I can give other than GOD.

That is MY testimony.

I know recovery looks different for everyone, and there is absolutely no shame in getting professional help, treatment, counseling, or going to rehab. But this is how God moved in my life—and I refuse to stay quiet about it.

What had me bound LOST ITS GRIP.
What I couldn't break, GOD BROKE.
And I will spend the rest of my life telling people what He did for me.

If God changed your life too, tell somebody. Your testimony could be the hope someone needs today.

Topic: When God Says Wait

Bible Reference
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)

A Short Story
Michael had been praying about a particular opportunity for almost a year. He had applied for several jobs, attended interviews, and sent out countless applications. Each time he thought something good was about to happen, another disappointment followed.

One evening, he sat on his bed and looked at his phone. Another friend had just announced a new job. Someone else had shared pictures from a new apartment. Another person had posted about an engagement.

Michael smiled as he congratulated them, but when he put his phone down, his heart became heavy.

“God, when will something happen for me?” he asked.

He had prayed. He had worked hard. He had done everything he knew to do. Yet nothing seemed to be changing.

For a moment, he considered accepting an opportunity that he knew was not right for him simply because he was tired of waiting. But as he thought about it, he remembered how often he had asked God to lead him.

He closed his eyes and prayed again.

“Lord, if this is not Your time, help me not to force it.”

The situation did not change that night. But Michael's heart changed. He realized that waiting did not mean God had forgotten him. Sometimes, God allows us to wait because He is preparing us for what we are not yet ready to receive.

Today's Message
Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of walking with God. You may pray faithfully and still wonder why nothing is happening.

But God's silence does not mean His absence. His delay does not mean He has forgotten you.

The Bible says that God makes everything beautiful in its time. This means there is a timing connected to what He is doing in your life.

Do not allow someone else's progress to make you question God's plan for you. Their season is not your season.

Sometimes, the greatest mistake you can make is to force what God has asked you to wait for. When you trust God's timing, you protect yourself from decisions that can create unnecessary pain.

Waiting is not wasted time when God is involved. He can use the waiting season to prepare your character, strengthen your faith, develop your skills, and position you for what is ahead.

What To Do Today
1. Stop comparing your progress with the progress of others.

2. Ask God to help you understand what He wants you to learn in your present season.

3. Continue working and preparing instead of becoming discouraged.

4. Refuse to make a wrong decision simply because you are tired of waiting.

Prayer
Lord, help me to trust Your timing. When I feel forgotten or delayed, remind me that You are still working. Give me patience to wait and wisdom to prepare for what You have planned for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Daily Challenge
Today, identify one thing you have been worried about because it has not happened yet. Give it to God in prayer and take one practical step toward preparing for your future.

🪽 MY HOME IS IN HEAVEN… I’M JUST HERE RECRUITING.

I’m not living for this world’s approval. I’m not here to fit in, blend in, or stay silent about what Jesus has done. I know where my home is.

Until the day God calls me HOME, I have an assignment: tell somebody about JESUS.

Someone needs to hear there is still hope.
Someone needs to know grace is still available.
Someone needs to know their past does NOT disqualify them.
Someone needs to know JESUS SAVES.

So while I’m here… I’M RECRUITING!

Daily Devotion — August 17 | Acts 18:28 (NKJV)

Pointing Others to Jesus Through Scripture

Acts 18 introduces Apollos, a gifted speaker who loved God's Word. After receiving further instruction from Priscilla and Aquila, he boldly proclaimed the gospel with greater understanding. Using the Scriptures, Apollos demonstrated that Jesus is the promised Messiah, helping many people place their faith in Christ.

Apollos did not depend merely on eloquence or personal opinions. His confidence rested in the truth of God's Word. By faithfully explaining the Scriptures, he showed that God's promises were

fulfilled in Jesus Christ. His ministry reminds us that the Bible is our greatest tool for sharing the gospel and defending the truth.

For believers today, this passage encourages us to know God's Word well so we can lovingly and confidently point others to Jesus. As we grow in biblical understanding, God equips us to answer questions, strengthen fellow believers, and share the hope of the gospel with those who are searching.

Reflection Questions

1. Am I growing in my knowledge of God's Word?

2. How can I use Scripture to encourage someone this week?

3. Is Jesus the center of my conversations about faith?

Prayer

Lord God, thank You for giving me Your Word to guide my life and reveal Jesus Christ. Help me to study the Scriptures faithfully and give me wisdom and courage to share the truth with love. May my life always point others to my Savior. In Jesus name Amen.

Practical Application

● Spend time studying Scripture with the goal of knowing Christ better.

● Share a Bible verse that has encouraged you with someone this week.

● Be prepared to explain the hope you have in Jesus with gentleness and respect.

Takeaway Thought

God's Word faithfully points every seeking heart to Jesus Christ.

Sermon Title: "RIGHT GIVING IN A WRONG SEASON"
Key Texts: 2 Corinthians 9:7, Malachi 3:8-10, Matthew 6:33, Hebrews 12:1-2, Psalm 51:17

INTRODUCTION
Beloved, we are in the last days. Times of hardship. Times where many are pressed on every side.
And in these days, giving has become godly for some... and desperate for others.

God loves a cheerful giver. But the enemy has twisted giving into a trap for the wounded.
Today God is calling us back: Look to God first, not to giving as a formula.

1. GIVING IS GODLY, BUT MOTIVE MATTERS
2 Corinthians 9:7 — “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Giving is worship. It is obedience. It is sowing.
But in this last age, error has entered.
Many are giving not out of faith, but out of fear and desperation. "If I give this, then God must heal me. Then God must pay my rent."

That’s not covenant. That’s bargaining.
And when we bargain with God, we leave ourselves ungodly and still desperate because our eyes are on the gift, not the Giver.

Isaiah 1:11 — “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord.”
God wants the heart before the hand.

2. THE REAL NEED: REPENTANCE AND RELATIONSHIP
Your message says it: “Look to God in repentance, obedience of God's word and be right before God.”

Hardship will come. 2 Timothy 3:1 — “in the last days there will come times of difficulty.”
But the answer is not just to give more. The answer is to return to God.

Joel 2:12-13 — “Return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.”

God’s priority is not your offering. It’s you.
When you are right with God, He heals both:
Physical wounds: Psalm 147:3 — “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Spiritual wounds: Psalm 51:17 — “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”

3. THE DANGER: USING GOD FOR THE GIFT
You said: “Unfortunately receivers of what they give. Ain't looking to this but after their more giving in. Leaving them ungodly before and desperate in life.”

This is the trap. Using God like an ATM.
Acts 8:20 — Peter told Simon, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!”

When we chase the blessing more than the Blesser, we stay in cycles:
Desperation → Give
No instant result → More desperation → Give more
We become tired, bitter, and far from God.

Jesus warned us: Matthew 6:33 — “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

4. GOD’S WAY: HEAL FIRST, THEN GIVE FROM WHOLENESS
God is not against your giving. He is for your healing.

Hebrews 12:1-2 — “Let us lay aside every weight... and run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus.”

God’s order:
Repentance - Turn from sin and self-reliance
Obedience - Walk in His Word daily
Relationship - Seek His face, not just His hand
Giving - Now give from a place of faith and joy, not fear

When you do this, God restores. Malachi 3:10 — “Bring the full tithe... and thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you.”
But notice: the tithe comes after “Return to me” in verse 7.

CLOSING CALL + PRAYER
Church, don’t let hardship push you into error.
Don’t give to manipulate God. Give because you love Him.

If you’ve been giving out of desperation, today is the day to return.

Prayer:
Father, heal us. Heal our finances, but more than that, heal our hearts.
Forgive us for making giving a transaction
