SUBJECT : THERE IS POWER IN YOUR WORD!

Memory verse: 

"You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth." 

(Proverbs 6 vs 2.)

READ: Psalm 1

9 vs 14; 141 vs 3; Proverbs 13 vs 3; 18 vs 21; Matthew 12 vs 37:

Psalm 19:14: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.

141:3: Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.

Proverbs 13 :3: He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

18:21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Matthew 12:37: For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

INTIMATION:

Words can work wonders, but they can also work blunders! Do you realize that multitude of people fail in life because they speak failure? They fear failure and allow their fear to overcome their faith. What you say locates you. You will not, and you cannot rise above your own words. If you speak defeat, failure, anxiety, sickness, and unbelief, you will live on that level. Neither you nor anyone else, no matter how clever, will ever live above the standard of their confession. This spiritual principle is unalterable. If your confession is foolish, trifling, unpractical, or disorganized, your life invariably will be the same way. With your words, you constantly paint a picture of your inner self. Jesus said, "Out of the abundance of the. Heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12 vs 34).

The Bible says, "Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles" (Proverbs 21 vs 23). Numerous troubles are caused by an unruly tongue! Words spoken in the heat of the moment—words of anger, words of harshness, words of retaliation, words of bitterness, words of unkindness—produce trouble for us. Words can cut and destroy. They can also mend and heal. 

On the average, a person opens his or her mouth approximately 700 times a day to speak. Stop and think before you react, or speak, no matter the circumstances. 

We would always do well to ask God to guard what we say so that we are not snared by our words, and that our words will bring honor to His name. It is noteworthy that every word and thought of ours will be examined by God, and we will give account of them all in the day of judgement (Matthew 12 vs 36). 

Self-control starts with “tongue control”—controlling what you say. 

The apostle James recognized this truth when he stated, "The tongue is a little member and boasts great things" (Janes 3 vs 5). If you wish to be self-controlled, begin with your tongue. If you can control this small but powerful member, you can control the rest of your body. 

The Bible in Proverbs, gives special attention to words and how they are used. Four common speech patterns are described in Proverbs; (1) The Controlled tongue, (2) The Caring tongue, (3) The Conniving tongue, and (4) The Careless tongue. I call them the 4Cs. The “Controlled tongue” thinks before speaking, knows when silence is best, and gives wise advice. The “Caring tongue” speaks truthfully while seeking to encourage. The “Conniving tongue” is filled with wrong motives, gossip, slander, and a desire to twist truth. The “Careless tongue” speaks lies, curses, quick-tempered words which can lead to rebellion and destruction.

Avoid careless speech because it is a vicious habit. When one realizes that his words are the coin of his kingdom and that his words can be either a cursing influence or a blessing, he will learn to value the gift of speech. The word is a seed (Luke 8 vs 11), and if spoken from a poisoned mind, it is a disaster. An idle word spoken aloud may fall into the soil of someone's heart and poison his entire life. Learn to control your tongue.

Go to higher level of living in the kingdom of God. Believe that you are who God says you are. Think that way. Talk that way. Act that way. Train yourself to live on the level of what is written about you in God's Word. Do not permit your thoughts, your words, or your actions to contradict what God says about you. Although you may not master positive confession in a day or even a week, you will learn it as you continue to walk in it faithfully. Because God has said it, we should boldly say the same thing! 

Prayer: Abba Father, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight. O Lord, set a guard over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let my words speak of Your blessings at all times, in Jesus' Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
