WHAT ARE IDLE WORDS?


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc.DD.

📖 Matthew 12:36

“…every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” 

▪️That’s a serious warning.

▪️Notice He didn’t say men shall give account for some idle words that they speak, but for every idle word. 

⭐Idle words are empty, ineffectual words; careless jesting and ramblings; coarse language.

▪️In Ephesians 4:29, He said, 

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”

⭐ Not only must your words be gracious and edifying always, they must also be faith words.

⭐ Words are things; they have substance; they create or destroy. 

📖 Psalm 18:21

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” 

▪️Don’t be careless with words. 

▪️Your words represent you; they’re your life.

📖 Mark 11:23 says, 

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea…he shall have whatsoever he saith.” 

▪️You’re what you say. 

▪️Jesus said in Matthew 12:37, 

“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”

▪️Even salvation is activated by words. 

▪️Romans 10:9-10 tells us, 

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” 

▪️Take words seriously.

📖 Matthew 12:36-37

36 But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every [a]idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak. 37 For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

📖 James 3:2 

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
