SAFE WORD: POWER
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Many a time we use and speak word so easily without thinking much of whether such word is correct to use in our daily conversation. We treat it lightly. Word such as "LUCK" is not found in the Bible and yet we often use it.
b) Why is it so necessary to learn to use and speak the correct word? Matthew 12:36-37 has a lot to say about it.
i) 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37 NKJV)
c) We will have to give an account of ourselves (Romans 14:12), every idle (careless, empty, thoughtless, worthless) word we speak (Matthew 12:36) and every work (deed) including every secret (hidden) thing whether good or evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14) in the day of judgment. For that reason, it compels us to use and speak the correct word or words especially God's Word. It's safe to use and we can learn a lot from its intended meaning.
1. Safe word:
a) Power - the ability (right, strength, or authority) to do, act, or accomplish something.
2. Biblical references:
a) Job 12:13
i) 13 “With Him are wisdom and strength (power), He has counsel and understanding. (Job 12:13 NKJV)
b) Psalms 62:11
i) 11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. (Psalms 62:11 NKJV)
c) Matthew 9:6
i) 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” (Matthew 9:6 NKJV)
d) Luke 6:19
i) 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all. (Luke 6:19 NKJV)
e) 1 Corinthians 1:24
i) 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24 NKJV)
