MEMORISE: Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Proverbs 6:2
READ: 2 Kings 4:18-26
- And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
- And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
- And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
- And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
- And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
- And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
- Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
- So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it camqqe to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
- Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 12:28-44 , Deuteronomy 8-10
MESSAGE:
In those days when it was difficult for my family to feed, I would always tell my wife to brace up because things would not be tough forever and our tomorrow would be alright. What are you confessing about your tomorrow, today? A great lesson to learn from the Shunammite woman in todays Bible reading is the need to be careful of what you say, especially when going through a difficult period. When her son died, she didn’t state it to her husband or Gehazi, rather, she said All will be well and to the glory of God, the situation became so.
Don’t be careless with words whenever you are angry, sad, rejected or cheated on, because there is power in your tongue. Have you ever wondered why evil confessions work faster than good’ ones? It is because the devil is cunning. He activates evil confessions quickly and makes it difficult to undo the effects of an evil word spoken. Be careful what you say.
ACTION POINT:
The events happening to you now may be as a result of the words you’ve spoken in the past. You can change things by making positive confessions.
HYMN: LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU
- While passing through this
world of sin,
And others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.
CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you. - Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you? - What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you. - Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
