    There is Power in the Tongue:...

    The tongue is a power part of the body. In terms of size that can be seen, the size of the tongue is relatively small. The weight of tongue in the male is averagely 70 grams while in the female is about 60 grams. However, the tongue has potential to do great and mighty things. It has a deep connection with the human heart. That is to say, beyond physical anatomy of the tongue, there is more about the spiritual effect of the tongue. As the spirit world supersede the physical, so is the spiritual effect of tongue goes beyond the physical structure of it. 
    Yes, there is power in the tongue, your tongue is so powerful that it can improve or destroy your entire life. A lot of people ended their life in the prison yard because of the way they use their tongue, despite the fact that they are innocent. Many people passed to the great beyond untimely, because of the use of the tongue. Employment seekers fail interview because of the way they use their tongue.  The tongue is so powerful that it can destroy a whole nation; it can cause war in between two countries. 
    According to the book of Ephesians. 4:29: 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: The tongue has the capacity to determine what you become and you will not. God, the Almighty Creator of all things, understood the potent weapon called tongue this by placing tongue in a “double jail”: the lips and the teeth. The only way the tongue exhibit its potency is through spoken word. Have you ever wondered why God kept tongue in such prison? I feel it simply because He wants the individual to be responsible for the use of his or her tongue. Lest one say, I never knew when I said such. Therefore, every man is responsible for letting the tongue out of “the double prisons.” 
    When you take time to look at the story of creation, the world we see and all the beautiful things that are in it were created by the spoken word of the Almighty. Hence, you will understand the power given to the instrument or tool through which words are spoken. As I have stated earlier, the tongue is deeply connected to the human heart. Your tongue is just a faithful representative of your heart. Your tongue is “the painter” which gives the picture of the state of your heart. Where you are and where you will reach in life are both functions of how you use your tongue. 
    Have you ever desired to change your status? Perhaps you have been wondering how you can get out of that predicament, and you are wondering where to start. You need not look far, start by watching the use of your tongue. Your status is as good as the way you use your tongue. 
    Of course, I admit that it’s difficult for a natural man to put in check the use of the tongue. This is due to his state of heart. Be that as it may, if you will ever see any improvement or advancement, it is high time you started changing your vocabularies. Form negativity to positive words. From the story of woes to good news. From murmuring to giving thanks, from cursing to blessing. 
    Though, many people through ignorance carelessly use this lethal weapon and thereby limit themselves and destiny of people around them. This book seeks to reveal to you the potency force behind the use of tongue as well as how you can begin to use this faithful servant to create the world you desire.

    Isaiah 66:15- ‘’For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.’’ 
    The term “fire of God” is often used symbolically in the Bible to portray the presence of God, the power of God, His judgment, His purifying work and, as His emblem of the anointing. 
    Fire is a strange and fearful weapon. No power can come against the fire of God and not get roasted and burn to ashes. The dragon can survive anywhere but cannot survive in the fire. When your life carries the fire of God you will be too hot for the devil, to handle. If you notice backwardness, manipulation, prayerlessness, oppression in the dream, it is an indication of the fact that your fire has gone out. You need to come to the presence of God for fresh fire. The fire of God will help you preserves your  life, career, business, and ministry. It will also consume your enemy.

    INTRODUCTION 
    Handling anger is an important life skill. Christian counselors report that 85 percents of people who come in for counseling have problems dealing with anger. Anger can shatter communication and tear apart relationships, and it ruins both the joy and health of many. Sadly, people tend to justify their anger instead of accepting responsibility for it. 
    Everyone struggles, to varying degrees, with anger. Thankfully, God's Word contains principles regarding how to handle anger in a godly manner, and how to overcome destructive anger.  
    Overcoming the spirit of destructive anger is not accomplished overnight. But through prayer, Bible study, and reliance upon God's Holy Spirit, the spirit of destructive anger can be overcome. We may have allowed anger to become entrenched in our lives by habitual practice, but we can also practice responding correctly until that, too, becomes a habit and God is glorified in our response. 
     If you want the great and mighty things God has for you in life to manifest, you must get to the root of destructive anger and deal with it.  Everybody has to deal with anger from time to time. But what's the best way to handle it? To answer that question, we must first understand what destructive anger really is. 
     Destructive anger is an intense emotional response rooted in annoyance, displeasure, indignation, wrath, vengeance, or hostility which is usually irrationally. 
      
    Ephesians 4:26-27; "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun goes down upon your wrath: Neither gives place to the devil." 
     
    You must kill destructive anger by prayer!

    Are You Ready To Give Your Words The Power To Change Your Life?
     
    Job Said Have You Commanded The Morning Since Your Days Began, And Caused The Dawn To Know Its Place!
     
    "Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruit of it" - Proverbs 18:21.
     
    "By thy words, thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned." - Matthew 12:37.
     
    "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." - Job 22:28.
     
    In this book, Command the Morning, Day, and Night, we were given biblical counsel on how to take charge of our morning, day, and night to control our environments. Commanding your morning, day or night is to exercise authority or giving command invested upon believers by God, to say what will stand without negotiation, compromise, or prior agreement. The command creates barriers to frustrate everything satanic and wicked people do. Evil decrees or commands from agents of Satan can be reversed, but commands from God and his saints cannot be reversed without God's permission. Believers command can make or unmake things, kill or give life. All creatures were created by God's command, believers are authorized and empowered by God to imitate Him.
     
    This book provides you with biblical cutting-edge counsel and powerful declarations that will guide you in commanding your morning, day, and night. A closed mouth is a closed destiny!!
