RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. WORDS ARE SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME MONDAY, MARCH 21ST, 2016.
Even so the tongue is a little member,
and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
And the tongue is a fire… (James 3:5-6).
There’s
something inside your mouth that’s so powerful; it’s your tongue. It’s given to
you by God to form words; words with which to control, create or recreate the
circumstances of your life. James 3:6 says the tongue is a fire; the power for
any change that you desire is in your tongue. Jesus said you shall have what
you say (Mark 11:23).
If
you speak confusing words, the result is that your life will be confusing,
because you’re giving confusing signals. Words are spiritual elements. They
don’t die. That’s why Jesus said, “But I say unto you, that every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment”
(Matthew 12:36). One day, all your words will be shown to you by God, as to
what they built, what they created, the image of your life and the
circumstances of your life created by your words.
The
most important thing in your life is your words. Your words will decide the
quality of your life on earth. Your words will decide your relationship with
God, your relationship with human beings, and where you go eternally: heaven or
hell. No one else can determine the quality of your life. It’s all going to
come from your words.
For
instance, when some people are excited, they’d say, “If you continue this way,
you’ll kill me!” Or some others who say, “This troublesome child will kill me
some day!” Or, “Look at poor me.” Unfortunately, such people don’t realize the
power and importance of their words. Death and life are in the power of the
tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
You
may say, “But they were only joking.” It makes no difference. Read again, what
Jesus said in Matthew 12:36. Moreover, in Mark 11:23, He didn’t say, “You shall
have what you say, when you mean them”; rather, He said, “You shall have what
you say.”
Train
yourself to speak rightly. Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of
life….” Your tongue is your own tree of life; use it to chart your course for
success and prosperity, and create your victorious path in life.
CONFESSION:
My life is for the glory of God, shaped in the direction of God’s perfect will! I reign and rule over circumstances as I chart my course in success and prosperity, and create my victorious path, with my wholesome tongue.
