READ: Numbers 14:20-29

20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

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:

29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 39-42

MESSAGE

The effect of misusing the tongue is seen in the Bible text of today, where God got angry because of the negative testimonies of the ten faithless spies. They displayed a lack of confidence in God, despite the fact that He had demonstrated His mighty power fo them on several occasions in the course of their journey through the wilderness, Therefore, God gave the verdict in Numbers 14:28.

On judgement day, everyone will be accountable to God for every word they speak while on earth. Therefore., be conscious of the things that come out of your mouth. Don’t be quick to talk when your emotions are running high, so you won’t make negative pronouncements against your situation, future, friends, family, and all that pertains to you. Proverbs 18:21 says: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Profess your faith in God by speaking good things even when you are faced with difficulties. When you open your mouth, let your words glorify God.

ACTION POINT:

Prophesy good things into your life for the next five minutes.

HYMN 5 – Take My Life And Let It Be

1. Take my life and let it
   Consecrated Lord to Thee
   Take my moment and my days
   Let them flow ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands and let them move
   At the impulse of Thy love
   Take my feet and let them be
   Swift and beautiful for thee
3. Take my voice and let me sing
   Always only for my king;
   Take my lips and let them be
   Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my sliver and my gold
   Not a mite would I withhold
   Take my intellect, and use
   Every power as thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will and make it Thine,
   It shall no longer mine:
   Take my heart, it is Thine own;
   It shall be Thy royal throne,
6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
   At Thy feet its treasure store;
   Take myself, and I will be
   Ever, only, all for thee
