11/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Wholesome tongue.

 Text: ```Proverbs 15:4‭-‬6 KJV A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. A fool despiseth his father's instruction: But he that regardeth reproof is prudent. In the house of the righteous is much treasure: But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.```
 
COMMENTARY
The word, “wholesome” is a Hebrew word, “marpe,” which means healing and health. A “wholesome” tongue, therefore, is a tongue that's curative, a fountain of life, because it's filled with the Word of God. Tongue is the most powerful tool in the body. It can achieve incredible and unbelievable results. With tongue a life is corrected and by tongue a life is also condemned.

Good persuasive speech in form of prayers, advocacy and proposals are presented using tongue. But a foolish person employs his tongue to the damaging of the Soul and the Spirit.  NLT Bible put it this way: _Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15:4 NLT_

What does it mean for a Spirit to be crushed? It means a sense of holding back or being unable to relax in certain situations that remind you of the painful incident from the past. A deadening of your spirit, such that you sometimes can't feel joy. A popular adage says: "tongue cut deeper than sword" another one says: "tongue inflict graver wounds than the sword." Bad memories a careless tongue produces last longer and breeds enmity that transcend to generations.

Food for thought: The wellness of tongue is used is dependent on the level of wisdom or foolishness.

Prayer: ``Lord create in me a clean heart, a spirit that crave for knowledge and wisdom 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...
