Psalms 15:1-3, James 1:26, Genesis 49:7, Ecc 7:9, Romans 1:29-32, Psalms 107:17-20, Mark 10:48, Prov 6:2, Psalms 34:11-12, Numbers 14:28

Men and brethren, it is sad that many people claim they know the Lord but they are suffering in defeat and in failure; in poverty and in struggling. The psalmist then announces the requirement for generational wonders. He said “Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.” Psalms 15:1-3.  I declare, as you commit to serve this God, your restoration season shall emerge with celebrations. 

Have you been able to monitor your friends, your relations that come to your house? Do you know that every time they backbite anybody in your house, they are profaning your house; they are defiling your house. Daddy Uma said to me ” had a friend, anytime he comes to visit him in his house, he will bring gossip from Aba, Nigeria. The friend was shocked the day he asked him never to return to his house again. He said to him, I don’t want to do business with you and I don’t want you to come here anymore.

Gossip can destroy a man’s reputation; gossip can destroy a man’s livelihood; gossip can destroy a man’s future and a man’s name. Therefore, as a child of God you are not allowed to gossip. Your house must not speak evil of no man because it is the house of the Lord. That you don’t like somebody is not enough for you to blackmail that person. May you not carry another mans sin and another mans punishment because of sweet mouth talk. 

No man with gossip can sell his gossip if there is no buyer. Therefore, as a child of God you must not allow anybody to gossip in your presence. Your tongue must be bridled. “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.” James 1:26. If you listen to gossip you are as guilty as the person who is selling the gossip.

Your immediate neighbours, for the married, are your husband or your wife and the bible says do no evil against your neighbour. That means in the course of your disagreement if you use harsh words on your husband or wife, you should immediately apologize. Don’t wait to be reminded to apologize. You don’t lose anything by saying I am sorry.

The bible also says that if you live in sexual immorality, you will not go to heaven. I am bringing sexual immorality from an angle of curse. When a man sleeps with a girl that is not the wife, the demons that have been following the girl will begin to chase him. You may be doing well in business; you may be prospering in business but it will not be long before your business will crumble. As men run after women, so the spirits run after women. I am not saying every girl is possessed, everyman is not possessed either but you have to be very careful because sexual sin is the only sin you commit with your body.

In Genesis 49:7, Jacob was speaking about the easy irritability of his two sons; many of us get so easily hungry and we are angry because we don’t know how to rest. Ecclesiastes 7:9. Others get easily angry because of arrogance that says they are superior to others; some others get easily angry because things are not going the way they should be done. Every person of easy irritability will not reach his Canaan. You can’t get answers to your prayers. You run in cycle without any progress. As a child of God when you discover an area that you are not doing well, ask God to give you a supernatural power to rise above that weakness. You can overcome your easy irritability but please don’t defend it. A man who covers and defend his weakness cannot change. Don’t join those who claims, it is their nature.

Pastors who never rest can be easily irritable. Cast some demons out and leave other pastors to cast some out. I have learnt that Nigerians are prayer collectors; they will never have enough of prayers. You are committing suicide when you don’t rest and the ministry will continue without you. Rest is part of the ministry.

The bible says “Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 1:29-32

The essence of this commission is to allow you to probe your life because this year must not be an ordinary year in your life.

“Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalms 107:17-20- As you cry to God in prayer, receive your instant deliverance in Jesus name.

When God calls a man a fool, it is because the man or the woman does not know the cause of his or her problem. There are people who are suffering who don’t know why they are suffering. Men and brethren, there is no curse without a cause. And God will use His word to show you where you went wrong; and if you are willing today to say to God, ‘Have Mercy’. Mercy simply means ‘I don’t know that and what I did that brought me to this pit where there is no water or ladder but please have mercy. Bartimaeus said to Jesus ‘Thou son of David, have mercy’ Mark 10:48. May God have mercy on us

Right where you are, I want to highlight one of the biggest problems many of us are encountering; the problem of ‘Misusing Your Tongue’. The Bible says ‘Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.’ Proverbs 6:2 and the book of Psalms 34:11-12 says “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?” and the book of Numbers 14:28 “Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:”

There are people, who publicly declare that they are sick and tired of this situation; they say they are sick and tired of their marriage; they say they are tired of their life. The bible says anything you proclaim concerning yourself with your mouth, God will do it to you. My heart bleeds when I hear Christians placing a curse upon themselves because your mouth have the power of life and death. Most of the time, people blame others for their problems, whereas they caused those problems. I declare, whatever you have declared negatively against your life is now annulled. 

Number Two, the enemy has a way of surrounding you with people who do not appreciate you, that you may condemn yourself to premature death. If you say to your mother, your father or your brothers because they don’t celebrate and appreciate your efforts ‘One day you will miss me’ they have declared that you will die prematurely and it will happen. Therefore, as a child of God, there are things you must not say. Don’t blame it on your Pastor when something bad happens to you because your spoken word overrules everything else in your life. Always remember that everybody cannot like you; therefore, you don’t need anyone to make you happy, you don’t need money to make you happy. Your enemy’s agenda is to take you down by self-provocation but where your enemy is plotting, God is planning. You must control your mouth

Your sisters may have had no child; that does not mean you will not have a child. That your parents die poor, does not mean you will die a beggar.  I announced today, good things will begin to happen in your life this 2021. Don’t limit your world with your bad mouth. You must say to yourself if there is any curse I have placed upon myself, that curse shall now be cancelled, be cancelled, be cancelled in Jesus name. Amen
