Control Your Tongue, Control Your Life
For in many things we offend all. If any man
offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and
able also to bridle the whole body
(James 3:2)
The words you speak are a true measure of your spirituality.
It makes no difference what others might think or say about you;
what matters are the words that come out of your mouth every day,
irrespective of who you may be talking to: God, men, yourself,
circumstances, or nature. Be sure you always, speak gracious,
faith-filled, and spirit-building words. Tame your tongue.
The Apostle James likened the tongue to the rudder of a great ship
that the captain uses to navigate the ship aright, irrespective of the
fierce winds driving against it (James 3:4-5). This means that with your
words, you can keep yourself in health, in faith, in success, and
in the transcendent life. Don’t talk fear, lack or your inabilities.
Talk the Word! Consciously put the Word on your lips.
Isn’t it wonderful that with your tongue, you can disallow sickness,
disease, infirmity, and weakness from your body?
Always speak health and strength to your body.
Many are sick, weak, broke and suffering today because of their
careless talking through the years. Get your tongue under control
and have your life under control!Use your tongue to come out of trouble,
depression, sickness, pain, poverty, and frustration.
Today, where you are, and what you are in life, are the result of
your words. If the result isn’t such that you’re pleased with,
you can consciously begin to chart a new course, and decide
what the next five or ten years will be like for you.
If the results are already wonderful, you can walk in greater glory
and higher levels of success if you use your tongue right. Jesus
said you shall have what you say.
Therefore, use your tongue to beautify your life (Mark 11:23).
Prayer
I have a glorious life in Christ. I’m sound, excellent, vibrant,
righteous, healthy and aglow in the spirit. The circumstances of
life align to God’s perfect will for me because I walk in the Word
and exude wisdom and sound judgment. I walk in the glory of
God, dispensing the goodness and love of Christ, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
