Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue

 

Do you speak life or death with your tongue? Many people talk without thinking, and by so doing, heap the very things that they don't want upon their lives. However, taking time to think before speaking will help you to choose the right things to say per time. Truly, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV).

 

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live - Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV).

Introduction

Many of the challenges people have are because they spoke death over their lives or families. And interestingly, this effect still takes its toll on the person(s) even when they really didn't mean it. Also, people carelessly make exclamations of death just because it's slang, yet it speaks in their lives. For instance, people say things like, "It bored me to death" or "He makes me sick". However, ignorance is not an excuse, for you will eat the fruit of your lips. This is why you must make sure that you don't speak anything associated with death but life.

It's Your Choice

You're made a creature of choice. And God has set life and death before you, so choose life that you and your family may live. So, every time you want to say anything, consider your options well to ensure that you chose life. Truly, your today's events are the results of your choices yesterday. Therefore, be slow to speak but quick to hear.

 

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath - James 1:19 (NKJV).

Life is in the power of the tongue

Now that you know you can speak life as well over your life and reap its fruits, consciously choose things associated with life and continuously say them. For example, speak success, breakthrough, good health, victory, abundance, and blessings. Hence, don't leave your life to chance and circumstances; let your words full of life override pronounced deaths around you. For instance, if someone declares that everyone in your environment will be down with flu, counter it immediately with health words. Read more...

The Power Of Blessing Your Loved Ones

What do you desire to see in the lives of your family and loved ones? You have the power to orchestrate them to a great extent through your blessings. God has given you a mouth with which you decide what happens in your life and lives of your loved ones, especially your family. Wisdom demands that you use it consciously and wisely. This post explains the power of blessing your family.

Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him— and indeed he shall be blessed" - Genesis 27:33 (NKJV).

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come - Hebrews 11:20 (NKJV).

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV).

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and wise people use it to enjoy the life in it. You are to a great extent product of words spoken over your life yester-years by you and your loved ones who had authority over your life, mostly your physical and spiritual parents. At the same time, your tomorrow will be determined by the words spoken over your life today. Therefore, there is need for you to consciously choose your words and refute negative words spoken over your life. When you have an understanding of this, you will need to also apply it over your loved ones.

Many Christians by the grace of God are now consciously keeping their mouth from speaking death over their families, but are yet to consciously speak life over them. Those who love it will eat the fruit of it. Choose to consciously bless your loved ones. Take a few minutes to bless them in line with the Lord's words daily, speaking into their future. You shall have what you say (Mark 11:23). Read more...
