FAMILY WISDOM NUGGET – DO SPEAK GRACIOUSLY AND GRACEFULLY WELL AND WHOLE TO YOUR FAMILY<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“And all bare HIM (JESUS)\u00a0witness, and\u00a0wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph\u2019s son?”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 4:22 (Emphasis Mine).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life is\u00a0surely\u00a0a beautiful and lovely creation of God for all to enjoy the essence and worth; and the knowing that this life is short and timed for mortals,\u00a0makes it an essence and worth the\u00a0reason why\u00a0none should be mean and obscure to\u00a0each other\u00a0about it. Life is like a mist that appears in the morning, soonest\u00a0it’s\u00a0gone as the sun sets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? It is even a VAPOUR, that APPEARETH for a little time, and then VANISHETH away . . .”<\/i>\u00a0James 4:13-17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, speak forth always – graciously and gracefully toward yourself and others, especially immediate family members – it\u00a0makes the essence of living well and whole;\u00a0it’s\u00a0all about living free in grace,\u00a0lively and lovely. Living graciously and gracefully\u00a0is\u00a0about SOWING living words of life into situations and circumstances. This is not about being\u00a0\u201cPOSITIVE\u201d\u00a0speaking or thinking;\u00a0it’s about using SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS to define your life in WORDS and DEEDS, in the midst of a hateful\u00a0and evil world,\u00a0by what God has done in us\u00a0through\u00a0Christ Jesus, to deliver us for now and\u00a0always deliver us in this present evil world. Amen!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for OUR SINS, that he might DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 1:3-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make today\u00a0someone else in the family\u2019s\u00a0good and special day by speaking wellness and wholeness to them and their circumstances,\u00a0even\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0an\u00a0unwarranted climate and atmosphere of wickedness and earnest\u00a0urge\u00a0to revenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make today their God\u00a0-Day of grace, mercy,\u00a0and love because\u00a0it’s\u00a0God’s Day\u00a0for you and them to rejoice and be glad in it. For what you\u00a0make happen for others\u2019\u00a0good, God will surely\u00a0make happen\u00a0for\u00a0you and all in the family as you\u00a0make His WORD possible in practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do not have any gracious, graceful,\u00a0and awesome words to speak to someone and their circumstances, it’s best to zip your lips up rather than being NEGATIVE, MEAN,\u00a0and OBSCURE in words on the day that the Lord God\u00a0has\u00a0MADE for the good of ALL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0a day and time to SPEAK WELL and WHOLE to your SPOUSE, CHILDREN, PARENTS and HOUSEHOLD; as\u00a0it’s\u00a0often said and widely known that CHARITY begins at home (family).\u00a0You\u00a0can extend this gesture to your\u00a0neighbours, employees, employers, colleagues, in-laws,\u00a0friends,\u00a0and even to the hungry and thirsty\u00a0enemies.\u00a0Do you mean\u00a0ENEMIES\u00a0also?\u00a0YES.\u00a0It’s\u00a0all about PLEASING God in His word as may be expected and demands of you,\u00a0in order to\u00a0become His complete and wholesome child. Speak WELL and WHOLE to them for your own good in Christ Jesus, as the scriptures\u00a0enjoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“When a man\u2019s ways PLEASE the Lord, he\u00a0MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 16:7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And he that\u00a0doubteth\u00a0is damned if he\u00a0eat, because he\u00a0eateth\u00a0not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 14:23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For IN Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 5:6 NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Never stop speaking graciously and gracefully to yourself and others –\u00a0it’s\u00a0a LIFE MEDICINE TO HEALTHY LIVING.\u00a0It’s\u00a0time to\u00a0make your\u00a0lips\u00a0create\u00a0a\u00a0loveable,\u00a0likeable,\u00a0and\u00a0liveable\u00a0atmosphere that you would love to see and enjoy with others. Create a magnetic field of\u00a0graciousness\u00a0and gracefulness with the WORD about your WORLDS of doing life and living\u00a0godly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ENJOY YOUR DAY IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is the DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Psalms 118:24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ye have heard that it hath been said,\u00a0Thou\u00a0shalt love thy\u00a0neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, BLESS them that curse you, do GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he\u00a0maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and\u00a0sendeth\u00a0rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”\u00a0<\/i>Matthew 5:43-48.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“A man\u2019s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT THE FRUIT thereof”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 18:20-21.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Finally, brethren, WHATSOEVER things are true, WHATSOEVER things are honest, WHATSOEVER things are just, WHATSOEVER things are pure, WHATSOEVER things are lovely, WHATSOEVER things are of good report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things”\u00a0<\/i>Philippians 4:8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“LET LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in\u00a0honour\u00a0preferring one another . . .17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 THEREFORE IF THINE ENEMY HUNGER, FEED HIM; IF HE THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be NOT OVERCOME of\u00a0evil, but\u00a0OVERCOME evil with good”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 12:9-21 Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, IRKSOME). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”\u00a0<\/i>1 John 5:3-5 (Emphasis Mine).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
