TOPIC: WHO OWNS YOUR TONGUE?:
BIBLE TEXT: Proverbs 18vs21 – Death and life are in the power of tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
The tongue is a little member of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. The tongue is also a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of the 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.
Knowing this facts, we must be careful how we use this small but powerful member of the body. Who owns your tongue beloveth? Yes, you are born again! Yes you are spirit filled but who is in charge of your tongue? King David the psalmist lent his tongue briefly to the devil as he lusted after Bathsheba and made a request of doom and his family fell into ruins; Joshua the son of Nun lent his tongue to God and he and his family vowed to serve the LORD; The foolish man praised himself for the increase God gave and lost his soul; Jesus gave his tongue to God and the world has not recovered from his victory over the devil and(sin & death).
As a child of God your tongue belongs to God, submit it to Him and let life proceed out of it.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I surrender my tongue to you, let your words train me and keep away from sin in Jesus name.
Insight: Study and meditate carefully on God’s word and speak it out often that’s how to speak life in Christ Jesus.
