TODAY'S READING: Psalm 127-132
TOPIC: THE TONGUE
TEXT: Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Indeed there is power in the tongue. Your words and you are one; the words you speak tell people who you are. Your words can depict your mood happy, sad, or angry mood. In other words, your mouth can deliver or destroy you.
In the court of law, you are permitted to plead not guilty until you are proven guilty. The power of the tongue cannot be over emphasized. You can secure a job by its power. People swindle others just because they know what to say. Some others have got themselves into unnecessary and undeserving trouble just because tone said the wrong things or the right things wrong time. People are innocently rotting away in jail because someone used the weapon of tongue against them. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. This should tell us that no idle word should come out of our mouths. If you must eat the fruit of the tongue, learn to use your tongue positively. Apply your tongue with wisdom and don't be snared by the words of your mouth. A young Amalekite killed himself with his mouth by coming to report to David that he was the one that ended Saul's life in battle (2 Samuel 1:2-16). You will not bring evil upon yourself with your tongue
PRAYER
Lord, help me to use my tongue positively at all times.
