Bible verse: Psalms 119:165
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Bible verse: Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Message
Your tongue is a powerful instrument in shaping your life and your ways in reaching your God's given destiny.
What proceeds out of your tongue is the instrument of your mind.
God wanted a beautiful world so He declared with His tongue.
Jesus raised Lazarus, feed thousands and performed other miracles with the word of his tongue.
Peter after praying said "Tabitha arise" and it was recorded that the dead Tabitha opened her eyes.

Beloveth, as the year is going to an end, let the words that comes out of your mouth be a blessing to yourself and your environment. Let complains and murmuring and words of discouragement, or gossip or backbiting be far from you so you can reap your reserved blessings.
If your tongue shall curse others so shall you cursed because God saith that He will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you and vice versa.
When you wake up, speak something good to yourself, to your children and families. Bless them with the blessings of the Lord. Wish yourself and family something good and be positive minded.

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, help me always to praise rather than to criticize, to sympathize rather than to discourage, to build rather than to destroy, and to think of people at their best rather than at their worst.
Do not allow my tongue to destroy my destiny but to lead me in Your ways in Jesus mighty name.

Bible verse: Obadiah 1:3
The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, such person will not go unpunished.
If you indeed want to get lost in this evil world then one of the prerequisite is pride.
Beloveth, there is always a way out - and the only way to avoid destruction is a humble and obedient relationship to God, acknowledge your laxity and fix your eyes on Christ.

Prayer
Dear Lord, keep me Christ-minded; always casting my cares upon You and grant me grace to be humble.
Put a guard at the door of my mouth that I would not hurt others by my arrogance or pride and help me to see my pride when I am quarrelsome in Jesus name.

Bible verse: James 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Message
Hypocrisy is presenting yourselves as something that you know you're not, maintaining outward appearances, with no regard to obedience from the heart.
Hypocrisy is knowing the truth but you don't obey it.
Hypocrisy is one of the most subtle and dangerous of sins because it deceives the hypocrite, damages unbelievers, and dishonors God.

Beloveth, we all easily fall into the trap of trying to impress others with how spiritual we are, while our hearts are far from God. It is an act of Hypocrisy.
You are adviced to cultivate honesty and humility towards others and not to try to impress others with your godliness.
Confess your sins and your struggles, seek His strength and be aware that He examines your heart and not the physical.

Prayer
Dear everlasting Father, Your word says: If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar;quickly help me be to look at myself when I am prone to look over to others and take away my roving eye, curious ear, greedy appetite, lustful heart in Jesus name.
