Ephesians 5vs12
(A) It is surprising when you see people who acts gently and advice others on the word to suddenly over react over a slight issue. (There live a sister who was loved by everyone because of her cheerful attitude and distinguish words of advice to everyone who came across her. Another sister decided to follow this sister home to play with her. As soon as they got to the entrance of her room, (i think someone mistakenly poured water at the entrance) she just started raining curse on whosoever poured the water) To all those who curse,(i don't want to know what the reason is but its wrong- James 3vs 8-13-With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig-tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. Proverbs 18vs 21- The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit.
(B) Who are we when we are alone? (Isaiah 29vs 15- Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the Lord who do their work in darkness and think,'WHO SEES US? Who will know?") People see the good deeds and praise us always but who are you when no one is there? Your actions to people speak well. None of your words are irrelevant and many wish,pray and envy to be like you, but who are you when everyone is gone around you. What are the thought of your hearts towards others- Proverbs 4vs 23-ABOVE ALL ELSE,GUARD YOUR HEART,FOR IT IS THE WELLSPRING OF LIFE. What are your deeds? Can you boast of every single moments when no close friend is there watching but God alone. If you fall into these categories retrace your steps.
(1) Matthew 23vs 15- Woe to you,teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
(2) Proverbs 7vs 6-27(vs 21-22 With persuasive words, she led him astray;she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter. Vs26-27- Many her the victims she has brought down;her slain are the mighty throng. HER HOUSE IS A HIGHWAY TO THE GRAVE, LEADING DOWN TO THE CHAMBERS OF DEATH.
(3) Ephesians 5vs3-7
(4) Romans 13vs 13-14- let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies(a party in which people behave in a very uncontrolled way,especially one involving s*xual activity) and drunkenness, not in s*xual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, do not think about how to gratify the desires of sinful nature.
(5) Proverbs 20 vs 19- A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. Are you failing God in your ways or pleasing God. In conclusion- LET EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU REFLECT OF GOD'S GOODNESS.
