Today's text is about Jairus' daughter, who became ill but died as her father went looking for Jesus to salvage the situation. On his way, another issue that delayed the master came up; it was the woman with the issue of blood. After all that transpired, Jairus was informed not to bother Jesus again since the child was dead. When Jesus heard that, he told Jairus to never lose hope. Eventually, they got to Jairus' house; people were gathered, mourning and wailing uncontrollably. He that has power over all situation arrived. He raised the child and restored her to life and unto her parents; to the amazement of all that had gathered for her funeral. Everything turned from sorrow to rejoicing; our God is great! Hallelujah!

Prayer points:

1. Thank the Lord Jesus for the gift of life, good things, the air we breathe, rainfall and the sunshine.

2. Thank him because he is the story changer and the great restorer.

3. Appreciate him for today's word.

4. Confess your shortcomings unto the Lord.

5. Mention to the most high, that area that you need restoration.

6. I declare and decree today, you shall receive divine restoration in your life, in the name of Jesus.

One of the attributes of Jesus Christ is "Resurrection and the life" (John 11:25). By the reason of this attribute, Jesus has the power to bring back to life anything that has been deemed 'dead'. He is the great restorer. Joel 2:25 assures thus; "and I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which i sent among you". The word of God brings consolation and comfort. Whatever situation that has caused you to be in pain, agony and sorrow is hereby terminated by the reason of today's word in Jesus name.

John 4:19-24

19. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Colossians 4:6

The kind of tongue you have is determined by the kind of words rolling off it regularly. If your tongue is regularly used for dirty slangs, worldly music, abusive words and the like, the devil marks it as his. If that same tongue now turns around to cast out demons, they would only have a good laugh at its expense because a house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25 ). A tongue that belongs to the devil cannot cast him out.

“And He called them unto Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? Mark 3:23”

In Mark 3:22-27 when the people accused Jesus of casting demons out with the power of the devil, He said that was impossible because Satan cannot cast himself out. In other words, as powerful a weapon as your tongue is, if it is of the devil, it cannot work against him. Now you see why many people use the word of God in certain situations to no effect. Many people pray in the name of Jesus, but He does not show up for them because He knows His own. It is good to prophesy, it is good to make confessions, but the power of your prophecy is determined by the owner of your tongue.On the other hand, if your tongue is used to preach the gospel, if the word of God regularly comes out of your mouth, if you use words that are seasoned with salt and avoid dirty language, then God marks your tongue as His. He touches that tongue with a coal of fire and every word that comes out of it will come out with power. Then you can command demons and they will obey; you can speak to situations and they will do what you say. Matthew 18:18 says:

“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
