The same tongue
that builds can also
kill
The Word of God reveals to us precious teachings about our talk. “Whoso
keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles” (Pv 21.23).
The Lord has given us a part of our body capable of giving life or lead to death:
the tongue.
We must open the mouth to bless our brother, to worship the Lord. But,
unfortunately, many have been destroyed by the lack of wisdom. Many do not
have administered their lips in order to bless. Therefore, they curse. Solomon
said: “Silver chosen is the tongue of the righteous, but the heart of the wicked is
worth very little. The lips of the righteous feed many; but, due to a lack of sense,
die fools” (Pv 10.20-21).
I could cite many biblical texts that reveal the need to open your mouth to
bless and do not curse. But I would like to summarize in just one that translates,
so sublimely, the strength that there is in the words we speak: “Death and life are
in the power of the tongue; what good uses eat of its fruit” (Pv 18.21). Can you
imagine the extent and severity of it? With it, you can revive or kill. Can you scale
the power that there is in this so small organ of your body? Ask the Holy Spirit to
give you wisdom to speak.
Beloved sheep, it is not advisable that you bless and curse at the same time.
When Paul wrote to the Romans, he said: “Bless those who persecute you; bless
and do not curse” (RM 12.14). There are people who have already understood
the importance of policing, watching their talk and seek not to commit the sin of
falsehood. However, they end up sinning precisely because they did not open
EDITION 03
their mouth to bless. Our faith is a relationship with the Lord, and this relationship
makes us well-wishers. There are people who have already learned this very well.
When they arrive, it seems that the light reaches; when they open their mou-
th, something begins to flow. They convey the love of Christ, make a difference
wherever they are and close to whoever it is. Unfortunately, however, there are
those who do quite the opposite: only complain, murmur, curse others, lead an
independent life of the Word. The Bible teaches us to give thanks in all things
(1Thes 5.18). This means that, by faith, we can teach the blessing, believing that
the circumstances are changed, transformed, by the grace of the Lord. There is
a tremendous power in our words. In Proverbs 18.21 it is written: “Death and life
are in the power of the tongue; what good uses eat of its fruit”. When you say:
“I bless you in the name of Jesus; I bless your day, the work of your hands”, you
spread life. It is a proclamation. The word keeps, the blessing is the word. You do
not have the final word, but you have the word of blessing. How many people
curse everything, work, marriage, mother in law, the children... The Word is very
clear to us: bless, bless. Start Blessing your life. “Behold, I will be blessed is the
man that feareth the Lord” (Ps 120).
Dear Brother, what God wants more than anything else is that we are bles-
sings and well-wishers. Thus, God bless you! And more! May you be a blessing.

 SMALL GROUPS

FREE SUBJECT
This week we don’t have small group lesson. Therefore, the small group leader is
free to choose the subject to be developed.

GET INVOLVED IN A SMALL GROUP

God surprised us in 2017 and we entered in 2018 with much
anticipation about our small groups. Our church has been living
a precious time. We have been awakened to the commitment
of being transforming agents wherever we are. The best way to
transform our cities is through pastoral care in the small groups,
a fundamental part of bringing people to the knowledge of Christ.
During the weekly meetings, people have the opportunity to
participate effectively in the local church, to have fellowship with
the brethren, to share joys and to be comforted when necessary.
Last year we reached thousands of people, multiplied hundreds
of SG’s, and came to new neighborhoods, cities, states and even
other countries, to the honor and glory of the name of Jesus. This
year we can’t lose the focus of bringing people to the knowledge
of Jesus and His kingdom.
Love more, be even more committed to Jesus, more intense in
your local church, persevere, be fully integrated. Dedicate yourself
to what God has entrusted to you. You are part of this project, get
involved in a small group, take root because I have the conviction
that great things will happen in your life. We at the Small Groups
House are here to serve you. If you need to contact us at +55 31
3429-1350 / 99370-9714.

 MISSIONS

BOLIVIA
Population: 10 million.
Capital: La Paz (administrative - 1.7 million); Sucre (legal, 288 thousand).
Christians: 9.1 million.
Evangelical Christians: 1.6 million.
Highest religion: Christian.
Growing religion: ethnic religions.
Christians living in Bolivia, a South American country, have
experienced a period of insecurity since the local government issued
a new Penal Code. As explained by a pastor* who lives in the country,
this constituent should become effective from July 2019.
Among the changes, one particularly affects the Christian church, both
with regard to evangelicals and Catholics. This is Article 88, which,
in short, prohibits recruiting members of criminal organizations and
religious organizations. If there is an infraction, the penalty applied will
be the same: from 7 to 12 detention.
“Even outside church events will be banned. With this, the Catholic
Church took the lead in mobilizations and, together with it, evangelical
associations. The new Penal Code hits the Catholic Church ‘full’,
because in Bolivia it has many social works, it recruits many
people for work and volunteering, “says the pastor. He explained
that questions about legalization of drugs and abortion will also be
modified in the country. “There are some reasons that will allow you
to request abortion, such as being a student. In addition, people
can have 5 kg of marijuana and 1.5 kg of cocaine at home for their
own use. “
Because of the changes, the Bolivian churches have held
demonstrations and marches. Several sectors of society have
also made protests and stalled as a way to ask the government to
review the new Penal Code.
* Identity preserved for the safety of the pastor.
• Pray that the Holy Spirit will break the heart of the government
leadership of Bolivia.
• Pray that the gospel will continue to be freely preached in the
country.
• Pray that the government will rebuild a just Penal Code for the
nation.

SIR, I RESOLVE.
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the
poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” Luke 19:8
It is appropriate to make an assessment of what we
accomplished in the year ended and a planning of what we
want to do in 2018. Life is made of decisions. We are not what
we feel, not even what we say, but what we do. In life we ​​need to
make choices. Some make bad choices and reap the nefarious
results of these foolish choices. Others make good choices
and reap the blessed fruits of these wise choices. The text in
relief shows the decision of Zacchaeus, the chief of publicans,
settled in the oldest city in the world, that of Jericho. He led a
group of tax collectors. It oppressed and defrauded the people,
raising more than was due. He accumulated wealth by using
this expedient. He has gathered up treasures of iniquity.
The day Jesus met him in the city of Jericho, however,
his life was changed. As proof of his genuine conversion, two
attitudes were taken: restitution and generosity. He resolved
to quadruplicate what he had dishonestly apportioned, and to
distribute generously half of his fortune.
Today, you and I also need to resolve some things. What
are we going to resolve?
First, I resolve to get the first things first. We should love
God with our whole heart and our neighbor as ourselves. We
must seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. We
should worship God, serve others, and use things instead of
loving things and not using people, and forgetting God. A good
out of focus thing can lead us to ruin. The gifts of God can not
take God’s place in our lives. When we substitute God for the
gifts of God, when we replace the creator with the creature,
when we delight more in the blessings of God than in the Lord,
we are in frank spiritual decline. It is time to realign our lives to
8

seek first things first.
Secondly, I decide to invest more in my family. Our house
must be a place where Jesus is welcomed with joy, where
salvation is celebrated with enthusiasm, where justice is
practiced with constancy and where generosity is practiced
with pleasure. Our family should be the target of our highest
affections and our greatest investments. To invest in the family
is to sow in a fertile field, which will give us a fruitful harvest.
Thirdly, I resolve to cultivate a more abundant devotional
life. The rush of life, not infrequently, deprives us of the finer
things. Delighting in God through prayer and savoring the
delicacies of God through the meditation of His Word are the
foundation for an abundant life. Resolve to study the Bible more
consistently, pray more fervently, and re-establish the practice
of personal and domestic worship, and do not allow any other
agenda to deprive you of this unheard-of privilege.
Fourth, I resolve to be a blessing in my local church. You
must bloom where you stand. Here is the place where you
put your gifts and talents in the service of God and neighbor.
Here is the place of you being a minister of reconciliation and
a peacemaker. Here is the place for you to invest in the lives of
the incoming people, so that they can be integrated and grow in
the knowledge and grace of Christ. Here is the place for you to
comfort, encourage, and strengthen your brethren in the faith.
Here is the place to rejoice with those who rejoice and cry with
those who cry. Here is the place of you being a blessing!

admission, at the Lagoinha Headquarters.

Interteen is coming, The National Congress of Leaders and Adolescents,
held by the Ministry of Teenagers Lagoinha. This year’s event will be held
between February 9 and 13 - Carnival holiday - in the temple of Lagoinha
Headquarters, and will have free admission.
“The expectation for this year 2018 is for Interteen to bring a
supernatural impact on the lives of every participant who gets involved in
this congress,” said the pastor Adriano Pauli, leader of the ministry.
With the theme “Forward with Christ to the end”, the Interteen 2018
proposal fits the Lagoinha vision of “Year of Perseverance.” According to
Pauli, the goal is to “sharpen in adolescents the perseverance of continuing
with Christ even in the midst of their greatest difficulties, always bringing
to remembrance that He has conquered the world, and then we are also
able to overcome.”
In addition, the Congress aims to contribute to a greater commitment
of adolescents to the Lord Jesus. “May the cause of the gospel be so real
in our lives that we are fit and available to move forward with Christ to the
end, no matter what it costs,” the pastor added.
Be sure to join Interteen! Invite the leaders and teens you know to be a
part of this congress that has been impacted lives for so many years!
The Lagoinha Headquarters is at 360 Manoel Macedo street, São
Cristóvão, Belo Horizonte - Brazil.

“Elas”
Ministry
takes care
of the
“Melhor
Idade” (Best Age) Ministry
The “Melhor Idade” is now under the care of the Elas Minis-
try. According to Pastor Madalena Silveira, leader of Elas, the
change occurred a month ago, but several plans are already in
development.
One of the novelties will be the aid of the so-called “surro-
gate husband”, that is, those professionals specialized in hou-
sework, such as changing the lamp or fixing a lock. “There are
several elderly people who live alone and who have trouble
making a small repair at home. We are praying to God that in
February we can form a team to do this work”, says the shepher-
dess. Soon, participants will also be able to receive health care
such as pressure measurement and blood glucose test twice a
month.
Another activity that the Elas ministry are preparing for the
Melhor Idade are the talking groups formed with psychologists.
“We’ve done some talking groups with the women who parti-
cipate in them and we’ve had a lot of results. The Bible says:
“Confess your sins to one another and pray for each other to
be cured” [James 5.16a]. This will be an opportunity for this and
for the elderly to open their hearts, to realize that many situ-
ations that they pass, others pass too”, said Madalena. As the

shepherdess, from the groups of conversations, it will be pos-
sible to define, even if that person needs to continue with the
psychological care.
The activities that were already part of the Melhor Idade will
also have continued, the example of the SG’s (Small groups) and
the service of the elders, held on Sundays, in the Tabernacle, at
8 a.m., and led by Pastor Paulo Cézar. “We also want to return
with the courses such as painting and literacy, physical exerci-
ses, trips and camps. The visits to the elderly is another issue
that we want to take forward”, he pointed out.
To accomplish all these actions, however, the ministry needs
more people available to help. So, if you are a physical, health
professional or “surrogate husband”, you volunteer to assist the
best age. If you want to participate in the ministry in another
area, you can also get in touch with the team of them, because
you will be very welcome. The Salon space “Ela” is on Beberi-
be street, 133, São Cristóvão Neighborhood, Belo Horizonte.
