The Father's Heart

For God (the Father) so loved, He gave... John 3:16. The Father's heart is love! This Father's day, I'm reminded of God's love, what a love, what a grace, what a mercy!

One of my fathers in the faith is Dr Terry Mize. His messages always stir me up! Below is a video which resounds the fact that the Father's heart is love.

His Mercies

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. - Lamentations 3:23

Today is Shabbat and by sundown another day will begin, another day, and another week. On my drive home from church this afternoon, this verse dropped in my heart. The mercies of Adonai are new every morning, great is his faithfulness. I used to sing this chorus a lot in Nigeria:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is thy faithfulness o Lord
Great is thy faithfulness

I am experiencing His faithfulness in a great way. The awesomeness of His love and the splendor of His mercies. Thank You Abba! Thank You!

Loshon Tov

One of the ways I grew as a Christian was by saying what God says. The Bible instructed me to declare God's word and my pastors encouraged me to proclaim the word as well. My grandmother and mother were also "big" on words so I ended up prioritizing good speech as a lifestyle.

Loshon Tov means "good tongue" in Hebrew language. A similar word in the Greek is homologeo. Rabbi Shaul (Apostle Paul) emphasized the importance of the speaking the word when he wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:13 "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak. Our speech is consequently our faith and our "life".

I possess a loshon tov, I possess a good tongue. The law of kindness is on my tongue, I am blessed and I am a blessing, I heal others with my tongue in Yeshua's name!
