* Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi

* Topic: Mischievous Madness (16)

* Text: Proverbs 23:33 →"Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things." (KJV)

★ Proverbs 23:23 → "Buy the truth and do not sell it-- wisdom, instruction and insight as well."

* Those who are under mischievous madness, will speak perverse things

★ 1 Timothy 3:13-14 → "For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long."

* You must know how to comport yourself in the house of the living God

★ 1 Peter 4:17 → "For the time has come for judgement to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?" (NKJV)

* Those who preach the Word of God must bring themselves under the control of the Holy Spirit

★ James 3:1-2 → "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgement. For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well."

* When you utter perverse words against the minister of the Gospel, you will incur the wrath of God

★ Leviticus 10:1-3 → "Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. And fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said to Aaron, “It is what the LORD spoke, saying, ‘By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be honored.’” So Aaron, therefore, kept silent." (NIV)

* Ministers of the Gospel who offer 'strange fire' will come under the judgement of God

* When judgement starts in the house of the Lord, no one can question Him

* The Lord must be sanctified in your life and service

*  Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi

*  Topic: Mischievous Madness (15)

* Text: Proverbs 23:33 →"Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things."

★ Luke 6:45 →"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."

→ Question: What is in your heart?

* What is in your heart controls your life and eventually determines your destiny

* What is in your heart is revealed when you are under duress or pressure

* One would not expect anything in the heart of a believer other than Jesus and the thoughts of Heaven

* When you open your mouth and speak, many things are revealed about you - consciously or otherwise

★ 2 Peter 2:10 →". . . and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries. . . "

* Whenever you come in the house of the Lord, you must watch what you utter with your mouth

→ Gossiping, cynicism, complaining and backbiting must be far from you

* Leave the judgement of dignitaries and those in authority (spiritually and physically) to God [See: Romans 2:1;]

★ Romans 14:4 → "Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand."

* You must not be a talebearer in Church

* A minister of the Gospel must not misuse his privileged position to discourage others by his utterances or attitude

* You must bridle your tongue. 

★ James 1:26 → "Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless."

* Covenant Confession:

"My mouth shall not speak perverse things. 

Help me O God!"
