Do Not Speak Vanity
Memory verse: -Psalms12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
Bible Reading: - Psalms 12:1 – 8
Message
God demands faithfulness from his people, he wants them to speak the truth from their inward parts; he does not want them to be deceitful for this will amount to self delusion and vanity. A deceitful person has double hearts; he speaks one when he meant another. God hates this kind of attitude and shall cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
Ananias and Sapphira his wife came to Peter with double hearts; spoke vanity and deceptive words and brought judgment of God upon themselves immediately. God remains the same and maintains the same standard of every one speaking the truth in his heart to his neighbour.
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates [Zach 8:16]
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;[Col 3:9]

A true believer and an Israel indeed before God is he that has no guile in him, who speaks the truth and hates vanity; he is plain, honest and pure; God wants such to come near him, he wants such to serve him. He said my eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land; they shall serve me says the Lord.
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.[ Psalms 101:6]
If the eyes of the Lord is upon you withersoever you go, then you have sure protection and preservation; your needs will be met and your service to the Lord shall be accepted.
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;[ Isa 58:9]
Speaking the truth and avoiding falsehood; double tongue and vanity is for your own good that leads to receiving answers to prayers from God. Everywhere around us today is full of lies to cover up misdeed and it so happens in people that are not in Christ Jesus – the truth personified. Speaking vanity with a double hearts is of the devil the father of all liars; but in Christ Jesus old nature of lying is ejected from your life and enablement to speak the whole truth replaces this when Christ dwells in you richly. Be truthful, honest, plain and faithful in Christ Jesus.
Confession of the Day
I will speak the truth always from my inward parts by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Prayer Points

Our father who art in heaven here I come, perform thy surgical operation in my heart and help me to always speak the truth, nothing but the truth always.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
