TWO CRUCIAL RUDDERS 6
“In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it can boast of great achievements. A huge forest can be set on fire by a little flame”
James 3:5 (International Standard Version)
The evidence of your thoughts is in your words.
No one knew what was on the mind of God until He gave His word. The word of God brings us into the understanding of His thoughts.
The mouth will speak “out of” the abundance of the heart. When you want your thoughts to be understood, you must exercise the maturity of speaking.
How you speak is also proof of your maturity. Anyone who has mastery of the tongue and knows how to speak or tame the tongue will excel in every place.
Many destinies have been crushed because of the tongue. The utterances of the tongue can cause you to advance or to become stagnant.
The tongue is like a little spark of flame which can set a huge forest on fire. It is like the rudder which directs a huge ship towards a destination.
You must become intentional about your words. To speak the mind of God you must learn to speak His word.
God said to Joshua, “Let the words from the book of the law be always on your lips…” Joshua 1:8 (VOICE)
This is not merely about “Talking Positive”, this is mainly about Speaking the Word of God. The Word of God is more than being positive. The Word of God is being creative.
The Word of God creates. The universe was created, framed, repaired, properly and perfectly joined together by the Word of God.
Your life will only head towards God’s designed destination when you master the wisdom to speak God’s inspired Word.
Don’t speak your fear, worry or anxiety, doubt, limitation, failures and disappointments.
Speak that which is pure, true, honorable, worthy of note and glorious.
When you learn to meditate on the Word of God you will definitely speak forth the Word.
The meditation of your heart and the words of your mouth must be consistent with the mind of God.
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” (Psalm 19:14)
Words that are consistent with the thoughts of God and are acceptable by God, cause the Lord’s blessings to increase in your life.
“You are the most handsome of all. Gracious words stream from your lips. God himself has blessed you forever” Psalm 45:2 (NLT)
This is a poetic Psalm written to celebrate David the King. This Psalm unveils the skillfulness of David through words.
The King’s gracious words contribute to how he was endued with blessings.
He always knew what to say to the Lord and the people he led.
To speak graciously also means to speak kindly and politely.
This is not about making a faith declaration but knowing how to address situations and people through wisdom.
Some people are always overwhelmed by conflicts because of the utterances they make.
Such must practice the habit of speaking graciously. This means to speak an attractive speech that is impressively articulated and fitting for the occasion.
Until you consistently have a genuine testimony that your words at every given time are full of grace and excellence, you have not yet matured.
Let grace be poured on your lips.
Hallelujah!
– I speak that which is pure, true honorable, worthy of note and glorious.
Oh glory to God!
