THE EVIL EYE OF GOSSIP Part 5 (Hot Potato, the two-fold curse)

This is the 60^th letter:

Text for the day: Revelation 12:10

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Our Theme for the day: “The evil eye of Gossip” Part 5
(Hot Potato, the two-fold curse)

Today we end our series on gossip. You may be saying to yourselves I never thought there was so much to say on this subject. To be truthful we have only just started but every good thing must come to an end. Evil speaking is a two-fold curse, falling more heavily upon the speaker than upon the hearer. How miserable is the tale-bearer, who bears words of evil! He or she is a stranger to true happiness, and they will never have it as long as they are telling tales. So how does a person become a gossiper?

1. It begins with the sin of cherishing evil thoughts.

2. Then an impure thought tolerated, an unholy desire cherished, leads to contaminated action.

When it is finish, it make compromise's your integrity.
"When integrity is compromised then lust hath conceived. After lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death." If we do not want to be a part of gossiping, we must shun its very beginnings.

Every emotion and desire must be held in subjection to reason and conscience. Every unholy thought must be instantly repelled. Today Jesus is pleading before God the father that you may overcome gossip. On the other hand Satan is standing at his right hand as his adversary. He is an accuser of the children of God.

The Bible tells us that people in the latter days would be murmurers, and grumblers. As it is written, THESE ARE MURMURERS (grumblers-NIV)-Jude 16
But we are also commanded to do all things without murmuring and disputing. (Philippians 2:14)

What was Jesus comment to the people of His day about gossiping? “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. (Matthew 12:34-37)


Paul words to the people of his day also apply to us who are living in these last days. “For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings [NIV, RSV: gossip], swellings, tumults. (2 Corinthians 12:20)


Today, it is time to let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking [NIV, RSV: slander], be put away from you, with all malice. (Ephesians 4:31)
Finally, if you are being accused or talked about by someone, "it is time for you to praise the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

The Bible says, “If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. Let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters." (1 Peter 4:14-15)
