FAITH CAPSULE: Gossip Christ and a book of remembrance will be opened on your behalf.

Luke 24

Gossiping is also a way of conversing and reasoning positively. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Bible documented what a considerable positive gossiping is about. It is written, “Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. So it was, while they conversed and reasoned that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.” (Luke 24:13-16) A positive gossiping is one that will get the attention of God. A positive gossiping will cause God to acknowledge one. Also, a positive gossiping will draw God to man. The two men that were travelling to Emmaus had nothing negative to gossip but positive when Jesus drew near to them. The two men on the way to Emmaus passionately engaged gossiping and could not recognized Jesus’s visitation. Whenever He visits at the ground of positive gossiping, He will give understanding that terminates foolishness and He will quicken the slow at heart just like He did to the two men on the way to Emmaus. 
At work, school and at home you have claimed to be a born again believer. How often have you engaged in “gossip” about Christ with the ones who have crossed your way? For a change, gossip Christ and let a book of remembrance be opened on your behalf. When positive gossiping becomes centered on God, it demonstrates the fear of God in the life of the gossipers. The book of Malachi 3:16 states, “Then those who fear the LORD spoke to one another and the LORD listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name. Anytime people gather in His name, it is an invitation for the presence of the Omnipotent, Omnipresent God. He will listen and He will hear and a book of remembrance will be opened on gossiper’s behalf. Can you see why your gossiping should be changed and focused on what will add blessings to you? Encourage yourself in the Word of God. The Word is alive and the Word of God is true to perform.  Allow a book of remembrance to be opened on your behalf. When God remembers you, He will add to you goodness and mercy, truth and blessings. Get yourself into gossiping Christ and a book of remembrance will be opened on your behalf.

Prayer for today: Pray to God and ask for the grace to permanently disengage every kind of negative gossiping.
