Proverbs 18:6-8, 21 NKJV
A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for blows. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul. The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Shalom! Day #273. Do you know that our is the smallest member of our body, yet it has the power to destroy and to speak life? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for carelessly speaking out words that's not pleasing unto You. Instead of delivering the message of life, we deliver the message of death and destruction. Lord, that we may be watchful in our speech. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
Unknowingly we sometimes speaks the wrong word at wrong timing. A person may be in a heartbroken situation, at that time intead of becoming a good encourager, we become the destroyer of his hope. Instead of sowing life, we sow the seeds of death. I can relate this verse to a recent situation I went through. A person, calls himself as a "servant" of God, but went around talking bad about me and about the ministry im involved in and also the whole team. He stabbed us from behind. This happened is because of the spirit of disunity in him and jealousy. He went around poisoning people's mind, a very good "phycologist" I shall say. The words he sowed, was meant destruction to us, but little did he know that in the end he reap the harvest of what he sowed. He was isolated by his own words.
In James 3:5-10 NKJV, itis written that "Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so." A man can tame any wild beast, but tongue nope. With the same mout proceeds blessings and songs of praises and with the same mouth we curse people. We must really watchful with our words because a wrongly spoken word can stir up quarrel and fights. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. So folks, beware and be wise when you speak. Don't just somehow carelessly speak your words out because latee you will need to bear the consequences. What you sow is what you will reap.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
