JUNE 15TH – CAPSULE 15
TOPIC: GRACIOUS WORDS
BIBLE TEXT: COLOSSIANS 4 VS 6 – When you speak the word, speak it gracefully (as it seasoned with salt), so you will know how to respond to everyone rightly (The voice).
Communication is very vital in our world today, we all need to pass one information or the other across and the way and manner we communicate it matters a lot. For every message to be received by the receiver, he/she must accept what is being transmitted either via oral conversation or via technology and process it to be able to comprehend the available information.
Seasoned words attracts the attention of the heart, as Christ taught the multitudes and his disciples they all listened to His voice because he spoke gracefully. Imagine if Christ went about insulting everyone and condemning them rather than teaching and preaching the truth then no man would have heard Him nor accepted Him into their lives and homes. The Bible describes in Matthew 7 vs 22 that the people were astonished at His teaching.
As believers we must learn to speak graciously wherever we go, knowing that our conversation may be light to others in darkness and that we should not speak out of ignorance, to avoid being rude or sound disrespectful or arrogant before any man. And when we speak gracious words all men will know that we are children of the kingdom of God.
Hold on to this scripture at all times when you desire to speak to others; Proverbs 16:24 (TPT)
Nothing is more appealing than speaking beautiful, life-giving words. For they release sweetness to our souls and inner healing to our spirits.
Prayer: Dear Father, help me speak gracious words every day of my life in Jesus name.
Insight: Think properly and ensure you taste your words before communicating.
