09/03/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Idle words.

Text: ```Matthew 12:36‭-‬37 NKJV
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

COMMENTARY
This same caution of Jesus about our words is coined in the legal lexicon as Judges rule 4. If a person says that he wants to make a statement he shall be told that it is intended to make a written record of what he says. The police would use such words: "you may remain silent, whatever you say now may be used against you in the law Court." This common practice of police officer is known as Miranda Warning.

 In Nigeria, the provision for the Miranda warning can be found in Section 35 of the Nigerian Police (Establishment) Act 2020. This section states that “A person who is arrested shall be informed of his right to remain silent and to have an attorney present before any statement is taken from him.” Jesus warned His disciples about the danger of using idle words. You can implicate yourself with your own words but silence cannot implicate you.

Do you really give your own attorney space in your life or you open your mouth anytime to respond to anything without the presence of your attorney? Jesus Christ is our attorney, advocate and counselor. Accepting His person through the ministry of Holy Spirit would keep you safe from intimidation of spiritual forces and as well regulate your physical activities with authorities and powers that be.

Food for thought: Our words can become our pitfall.

Prayer: ```Save me from ignorance and guide me out of every evil of using idle words in Jesus name.```

 31/12/2023 *Christian WATCH Exposition* *Topic:* _Habit 1. Roaming around_  *Text:*  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```  *COMMENTARY*  As children we grew up seeing Almanac painting of a dark human like image with tail, hons and horrible dentition being displayed on walls of our houses as Satan. Some of these almanac displayed Jesus and Satan having a soccer. Other Almanac can be a wrestling match between Satan and Jesus and things like that. Satan cannot be known by all those images. Satan is a spirit and manifest through human beings. Therefore in this study we shall look into the habits and manifestations of Satan. One of the ...

Topic: Habit 5. Distractions.   Text :  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```   COMMENTARY   Uninvited yet attending, for what? Why is Satan always going to the gathering of the children of God? Presenting himself to the Lord is not his priority, he is chiefly looking for whom to distract. As children of God testifies of triumphing over evil with good, the children of the disobedience take pleasure in doing evil and testifies when they succeed in multiplying evil, especially when their intended distractions work out and a child of God compromise to follow evil. Have you wondered why believers compromise? It starts from this ki...

02/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Illegal Structures.   Text :  ```Jeremiah 1:7‭-‬10 NKJV But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”```   COMMENTARY One of the foundational significant difference between Prophetic ministers and the rest of the people in the society is eyes. God gives ability to identify original architectural master plans to the Prophets. God give them ability to read and interpret geographical and geological map of families and individual persons lives. God's purpose and plans a...
