FROM PASTOR DAVID IGHILE'S HEART...
IT IS TIME FOR YOUR MIRACLE: DONT STOP "SPEAKING IN FAITH"
Jesus teaches us to be careful about our speech because it has a direct bearing on what we do and who we become. You are what you say. Train yourself to speak the right words all the time. Child of God, God wants you and me to walk in victory, by speaking His word out in faith. Your words are important to your life. Our mouths can destroy us or make us. Be careful of what comes out of your mouth.
Confession of the Word of God must come from the heart. Some of us have learned the scriptures almost to show-off but we do not have them in our heart. They have not become part of us. Mark 4:15. “And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.”When you consider confession it is interesting how some of us can do really good when we are in church, but as soon as we get outside we forget the confession we made. The prayers we prayed are cancelled. The words we agreed with in the heat of the meeting we now destroy by our bad words and even worse attitudes.The devil is most active in church situations. Sometimes we think that he is most productive in the nightclubs and cinemas. However, his strategy in those kinds of places is simple. Set the thing in motion and leave it to unwind itself. In church he has to be more subtle. Sometimes he will offer us the GOOD in place of the BEST. There is a difference between 'good' and 'best'. Child of God,, do me a favor, FIGHT FOR BEST! Not just GOOD!
All our good ideas and quality decisions in response to the Word of God can count for nothing unless we protect that which we heard and our response to it.We should also remember that the devil is a highly qualified scholar of the Word of God. He knows how to abuse, misuse and confuse with God’s word. He did it in the Garden of Eden. He did it in the wilderness with Jesus. And he will do it with us if given a sniff of a chance. Dont allow him! Mark 4:16-17 “And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.”
The devil will declare war on those who wish to follow the word of God. They will find they come under ferocious attack for one reason: the Word of God. Many of you make wise decisions in response to anointed preaching, and then, a few weeks later, you become discouraged, and wonder what happened to your good reponse to the annointed preaching. Dont be discouraged, dont ever stop saying the word. SPEAK IT, no matter what you see around you - however, it is important to match what you say with faith. Dont just say it. Say it and beleive because the word of God works! It works. It is Truth and it is proven. Do not worry about the situation around you.
When you pray there is a time when you wonder if the thing you are beleiving God for is ever going to come to pass. Sometimes, it seems that the prayer or the confession has died. It is during this time that the work in the spiritual realm is being done. However, if you begin to doubt that those things which you prayed will come to pass then you may well stop that work. The spiritual forces who work for us can only work with faith. They need us to believe by using faith-filled words.
Decide this week that you will speak only faith-filled words and God will bless you, ubandantly.
Thank you for supporting this ministry. I love you all so much
YOU ARE BLESSED
In Christ,

Dear Pastor David Ighile
We are blessed by you, and we are praying for you and for your ministry, day and night. I just need to comment on the SPEAKING IN FAITH issue. It is such an important subject for christians - to learn to speak right, Amen:
1 Corinthians 9:25
“Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”
Our words can help or hinder our progress in the transformation.
- WHY ARE OUR WORDS SO IMPORTANT?
- DO WE REALLY NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT WE SAY? DOES’NT GOD KNOWS WHAT WE MEAN?
1. Because the power of life and death is in the tongue.
(Proverbs 18:21)
“The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit”.
2. Because God is watching over His word to perform it.
(Jeremiah 1:12)
“Then said the Lord to me, you have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it”
Give God something to work with!
3. Because our words reveal the condition of our hearts.
(Matthew 12:33-35)
“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”
4. Because our words are direction setters.
(James 3:2-6)
“We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell”.
(Proverbs 18:6-7)
“A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
A fool’s mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul.”
5. Because we will be judged by them.
(Matthew 12: 36-37)
“But I tell you that men will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned."
“Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing”. - Proverbs 12:18 (NIV)
Here is how you can train yourself to speak right:
1. Speak what you want, not what you have!
- Talk the solution not the problem
- God does not want to here your whine
Joel 3:10 “Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, "I am strong!"
Romans 4:17 it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were”
2. Sow words of life to others.
Galatians 6:7
“Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
- Don’t sow critism. (Be in a ministry of affirmation. Encourage, don’t criticize, it does not help anyone!
A guy came to his pastor and said, “Reverend, I only have one talent.”
The pastor asked, “What’s your talent?
The man said, "I have the gift of criticism."
The pastor was wise and replied, "The Bible says that the guy who had only one talent went out and buried it. Maybe that’s what you ought to do with yours."
3. Through relationship with the Holy Spirit - guard your tongue.
Ephesians 2:29 “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
Proverbs 15:23 “A man finds joy in giving an apt reply- and how good is a timely word!”
4. Value God’s Word above the physical evidence.
Romans 3:3-4 “What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar”
- We make mistakes, He doesn’t - We don’t always have the answers or the complete picture. THANK YOU PASTOR DAVID FOR PUTTING FIRE IN ME!
