TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing”
(Proverbs 12:18, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of our words. We can use our words to build people up and encourage them, or we can just as easily bring destruction with our words.
When we use our words to bring healing, the Bible says that we are wise. Choose to be wise today and choose healing words. Look for the best in others and build them up. Choose healing words over gossip; choose words of freedom and peace over anger and judgment. Let your words encourage the people in your life by speaking strength, hope and victory.
Remember, words are seeds. When you use your words to bring healing, you’ll reap a harvest of health, strength and life in return. As you are faithful with your words, God will increase your influence. He will increase His favor and blessing upon you and lead you in the good life He has prepared for you.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, today I choose to be wise and bring healing to others with my words. I ask for an increase of Your power and ability in my life so that I can live to honor You in all I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
[ Joel Osteen]
Next week i will preach about sin, righteous, and judgment.
Joe and Victoria, I realy like your zeal for the Lord God’s word and as you know I always defend you from attacks of those who dont want to hear the word of God.
However, as much as Ilike your zeal of ministering the word of the Lord God, I have noted that you have failed to take into consideration the audiance of LT blog. Dont you think that LT bloggers are both christians and non christians whom you have to address in your messages? But you have assumed that all the LT bloggers are christians and thus given your perception you have continue giving ministries of encouragement or edification to the believers. You have never preached to the people who are not christians….. I just wonder Joe and Victoria.
WHY CANT YOU ADDRESS BOTH BELIVERS AND NON BELIEVERS IN YOUR MESSAGES?
Hee Joe and Victoria…. see how the Lord God speaks, God has spoken to you and me at the same time. I was first here and started writing what is above… and I believe at the same time God spoke to you, This is good that the Lord God has also observed that you have never tackled sin on this blog.
May the Lord bless you brother and sister.
#3 Kambongolo i hear you.Next week i will touch on sin esecially adultery in the church.
(Luke16:18)Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
This goes to Benny Hinn who is going through a divorce.The National Enquirer is currently reporting that Benny Hinn and Paula White are having an affair.
There’s one catch…. they’ve got pictures of Hinn/White going into and out of a hotel in Rome holding hands.
PRAISE THE LOARD.
Encouraging and may the good LORD bless many others who believe the LORD Jesus & even the non beliving blogers who insult others so that they may come to the serving knowlege of our king. Then blogging will be honarable with progressive ideas devoid of the ‘F’ word which is appalling!
Powerful prayer!!! Amen!!!!!!!!In in Him I beg for everything !!

A part of me is saddened for mankind, frustrated in considering all the folks generationally brainwashed from birth, indoctrinated from their first breath, and subsequently immersed in the propaganda of religion to the point where rational thought to the contrary becomes impossible, as their brains have created thousands, perhaps millions, of neural transmitter pathways all reinforcing the same faulty information as if it were scientific fact.
For those religiously afflicted, the misinformation permeates, thus contaminating, their entire cognitive decision making process, rendering true objective religious examination as well as many other mental explorations, unlikely at best.

Most will never escape the mental delusion of religious teaching and will typically fall into the category of those … not ready to be unplugged, as deviation from the implanted belief system pushes the victim into frightening mental territory most cannot fathom nor endure for long, given that most of the religious dogma conveniently stigmatizes non-belief with loss of favor with the appointed deity in a pure pavlovian response conditioning.
Not that those of us spared of such mental aberration have all the answers, but at least we’re free to scientically investigate for the truth, rather than attempt to divine it through a fog of mysticism, fable, and superstition.
One man’s religon is another mans cult! I hope Zambian children are not branded as witches in the name of deliverance!!
I remember my wife called me and told me that she had been invited to a deliverance outing & that they were all being exorcised of ’em demons. I was shocked that all three must chimney out devils. I was upset & instructed her to leave with immediate effect. The pastor who prayed for them,specialised in praying for women & he was not even married & he asked for presents whenever everyone needed to be prayed for in the likes of money,tuvokudya, tuvovala or anything of value. Promissing that after giving these gifts to him, with prayer, they would recieve blessings for jobs. The friend who took her their & still goes there still does not have a job but ma wife got one even when she never went there anymore. In zambia, there is religious delusion.How come Imakando buys a Hammer when his chur
…cont from@12. Imakando buys a Hammer when his church of 15yrs is incomplete? A black Hammer for that matter. And these are churches with large clouds pa Zed? Well, i guess as kambongolo has put it. One Joel must help us deal with our sinful lives by preaching christ & christ crucified. This fora isnt christian voice at all, its not even a church run media. Infact LT is just a benefiary of MMD. Speak to us as our hearts need. The basics such as need for salvation, the existance of God, the need for piety & love for one another makes the backbone for christianity. Paul said, i preach christ & him crucified. Christ says come all those who labour & r heavy ladened & i will give you rest. One matyre said-the heart is restless untill it finds God or something like that….PEACE.
# 13 Amen and amen.
