TEXT: PSALMS 1: 1-2
A. INTRODUCTION:
Any man who satisfies the conditions in Psalm 1: 1 can be termed godly, and therefore is qualified to be called a saint. A saint is one who learns to bridle his tongue knowing fully well that we shall account for all idle words spoken by us on the day of judgment. James 3:2. Pro 17:27-28. Matt 12:36. He fears God in all that he does and God is ready to reveal secrets unto him Psalm 25:12-14, and of course he pays serious attention to the work of God. John 9:4, 1 Cor 9:16 Acts 21:11-13. If u can tame your tongue you are qualified to be called a saint this can be achieved by praying in tongues frequently that is surrendering our tongues to the Holy Spirit may the Lord grants us the grace to do so in Jesus name.
