TODAY'S READING: Psalm 118
TOPIC: YOUR WORDS SHOULD QUICKEN
TEXT: Nehemiah 2:18 "Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. "
The word you say to people God has brought your way may be as subordinates in your place of work, fellow believers in the same department or units with you in church or team members on the same assignment; matters a lot. Your words should ginger men to work. The words of a believer should have life, it should elevate the spirit of men to work. Don't talk down or try to pull down the work. Don't be that! Scripture says, "Death and life are in power of the tongue". How are your words to fellow men in the same task with you? How many have your words stirred up to work? How your words encouraging? Some people will not work and do not want others to work by their words. Every rebellion, strife, contention begin with them; such persons will be judge by God. The people of Nehemiah, that is, his fellow brethren in captivity were not there when Nehemiah met with the king, but his positive and encouraging words to them made them say " let us rise up and build" and they strengthened their hands for the good work. Do not be a vision destroyer. Desist from weakening the hands of people from workiy because maybe you want the leader or the head of the organization or department to fail. Let your words only quicken men to work.
PRAYER
O God, as I pray, I rededicate my tongue to only give life to your course.
