SPEAK BLESSINGS
“The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain; the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.”
Proverbs 10:11 (NLT)
The mindset of a new creation is shaped by the word of God. The new creation cannot live above the reality of the word. Whatever we do in speech and deeds must be consistent with the reality of the word of God.
You dispense life through the word of God on your tongue.
The speaking or utterance of the word of God is blessing to the hearers.
As a child of God every word you speak must bless lives.
“Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak].”
Any word which doesn’t bless your hearers is unwholesome and worthless.
You don’t speak your emotions, or feelings, or assumptions or speak out of wrath. Speak life and blessings. No matter the situation, communicate with the intention to build up. Whether you are correcting, reacting, responding or explaining a thought, it should be done with grace.
You shouldn’t be known as one who speaks blessing and curses.
“We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in his very image! Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sister, this should never be!” James 3:9-10 (TPT)
Guard and guide your tongue to communicate the excellence of God. Don’t speak curses and violence. Let not poisonous words gush forth from your lips.
From the opening verse, you can see that it is the mouth of the wicked which conceals violence intentions. There is no life and hope on the tongue of the wicked. But for the righteous, his words are a source of blessing and their mouth are the fountain of life.
It means when anyone should listen to you they shall enjoy unending flow of wisdom and life.
Make a decision today that you are going to be intentional about speaking blessings. Don’t just speak words, speak wisdom.
Let your hearers rejoice at your words.
As they said concerning Jesus, “where did this man get this wisdom?…”, people around you should say such about you.
No matter how complex a situation is, know that the wisdom of God is at work in you. And your words will produce blessing and life in your hearers.
If they don’t produce blessings, don’t speak!
