THURSDAY 27TH DECEMBER, 2018
TOPIC: HIS VICTORY SECRET: PRUDENT SPEECH!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: DANIEL 2:1-19
It was Oliver Wendel Holmes who said, “Speak clearly, if you speak at all. Carve every word before you let it fall.” King Nebuchadnezzar had a strange dream, so strange that he could not sleep!
Unfortunately he could not remember the dream. He immediately ordered all the wise men and astrologers to show up in the palace. He told them to DO THE IMPOSSIBLE: “Tell me my dream, and tell me the interpretation, or else you will all die.” The magicians were shocked! It had never happened before in history! Hear their words, “It’s a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.” The king ordered their immediate execution! Verse 14 of today’s scripture says, “Then WITH COUNSEL AND WISDOM, Daniel answered Arioch…” With wise and gentle speech, he pacified Arioch! DID YOU GET THAT? Though he was anointed, he still needed WISDOM AND PRUDENCE of WORDS to approach the battles of his life!
Do you know that it was a matter of LIFE and DEATH? See Verse 16 too: “So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time…” He was able to pacify the king’s anger too! WISDOM IN ACTION! Oh! Many battles are lost due to lack of wisdom! Proverbs 15:1 makes it clear, “A gentle answer turns away wrath.” Learning to give answers that turn away wrath is a hallmark of WISDOM and greatness! It makes no difference how low you are on the ladder of life or how brutal your battles are, IF YOU WILL SEEK WISDOM, PATIENCE, LEARN PRUDENCE AND SPEAK PRUDENTLY, YOUR SPEECH WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR VICTORY LAND AND TO THE TOP. I prophesy: The Lord will fill you with wisdom today and your words will NEVER bring DISGRACE upon you! Whatever you lost because of your past wrong words shall be restored again! As 2018 ends, don’t forget Oliver Wendel Holmes: “Speak clearly, if you speak at all. Carve every word before you let it fall.” That was Daniel’s victory secret! RECEIVE WISDOM/PRUDENT NOW, in Jesus name! you will never end up in shame! Amen and amen!
_(The 2019 ODM and “War Against Haman – 14” booklets are out! Give them out to FAMILY/FRIENDS as New Year gifts items. The “War Against Haman – 14” booklet contain the 2019 January 21-day fasting prayers! Your STORY to GLORY secrets are hidden there)!_
PRAYER POINTS: Take a song of praise to God.
1. Pray about today’s word as you are led right now.
2. Lord, RESTORE ALL that I have lost in my past due to wrong words in any battle or relationship in Jesus name.
3. Father, fill my mouth with wisdom that will raise me up to my DESTINY HEIGHT in Jesus name.
4. Pray about the last 4 days of this year!
