TWO CRUCIAL RUDDERS 5



“A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds” 

James 3:4 (Amplified Bible)



One of the core things you should understand from our previous discussion is that:

THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY STEERED TOWARDS THE DESTINATION DETERMINED BY GOD.

To steer your life towards God’s designed or determined destination you must intentionally take charge of the rudder of your life.

Just as a ship wouldn’t automatically move towards its destination, but must be skillfully steered, so is your life.

When you don’t take charge of the rudder to skillfully steer your life, you may move in the wrong direction and also may shipwreck your life-ship.

Everyone’s life is steered by these Two Crucial Rudders:

1. THE MIND and Heart (I have explained how the mind functions as a rudder, and how you have to direct it)

2. The second crucial rudder we have to take a look at is the TONGUE.

“Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body. And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm.
And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame! It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence.”
James 3:3-7 (TPT)

The direction of your life is not only steered by your mind but also by your tongue.

The words you speak determine how glorious your life becomes. Don’t just talk; let your words be consistent with the Word of God.

Since you now know the tongue is also a rudder, you must understand that, whenever you speak, you are steering your life towards success or defeat.

“If those who claim devotion to God don’t control what they say, they mislead themselves. Their devotion is worthless” James 1:26 (CEB).

You may have the right mindset, and a good heart, however, if your words are not consistent with the genuineness of your thoughts, then your thoughts are not your conviction and consciousness.

The World English Bible says, “…your mouth exposes your heart…” (James 1:26).

Your words must be consistent with the direction of your mind.

Beloved bridle your tongue!

Hallelujah!

DIG DEEPER
(Proverbs 17:27; Proverbs 15:28; Proverbs 23:15-16; Zephaniah 3:9)
 
WE PRAY
We pray that we will have mastery over our tongue to communicate the thoughts of God at all times, no matter the situation at hand.
 
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2024
Isaiah 1 – 4
 
DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– I exercise mastery over my tongue.
 
– By my tongue, I communicate the thoughts of God at all times no matter the situation at hand.
 
– My tongue is seasoned with the word of His grace,
 
– I only speak forth blessings.
 
Thank you Lord Jesus!
