Good morning, Champion.
Are you speaking words that build or tear down?
Proverbs 18:20-21 (NIV)
From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Today let us again consider “the mouth”, specifically looking at what lives inside of it - the tongue. We saw yesterday that if it is left un-mastered (untamed) it has the potential to cause our lives to sail to places we really do not want to go. Today let us see what Proverbs has to say about it.
First of all it reveals that a man’s stomach (life) is filled by the fruit of his mouth and that the lips are what produce harvest in your life. Again, the question here is whether your words are producing a positive harvest or a negative one, and that choice is down to you. It’s all about how you choose to use your mouth.
Secondly, the Word of God warns us that the tongue has the power of life and death, and with it we can kill or cause life to spring up. Think about it today: your words have the power to build people up or destroy them. Your words can empower leaders, dreams, and visions or rip them down. I believe many of us may have used our mouth for demolition before knowing Jesus, but now we must use our “mastered mouths” to bring life and hope, and to build up, not tear down.
Lastly, the words we choose to speak over our own lives each day can bring life and death to our own situations.
What are you speaking or confessing daily over your life, Champion? Are you speaking words of life that build strong hope and future, or words of death and unbelief that tear down the godly promises in your life. The best words you can use are the ones that agree with God's words. Use your tongue to speak God’s words and promises over you, your family, and everybody else in your world. Make the decision today that your words will bring life and hope to all that hear them, including you!
Andy
