*THE POWER OF WORDS (1)*
The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
_Proverbs 12:18 NIV_
You must understand that you are responsible for whatever happens between you and the Word of God. This is a serious issue but many do not pay good attention to it. You have a copy of the Bible, don't you? God has made His Will available to all. It is your duty to know It and obey It. Men must take responsibility when it comes to God's Word. Live by the Truth you know, and more will come to you.
Don't let the words of men affect you more than God's Word. Pay no attention to the baseless curses of men. Focus on the blessings of God. From Genesis to Revelation, all God has for you are blessings. No one who reads the Bible daily can be depressed.
Did you know that some of God’s precious children have left the Faith because of what someone said to them? In society, there are people who have become 'mini devils' as a result of the words of men. No! Nothing should shape our lives, but God's Word. The negative words of men are hurting, but they must not be allowed to germinate and grow in our lives.
A long time ago, in a church, an altar boy dropped the communion w**e by accident, and the officiating priest gave him a slap and commanded him to leave and never return. The boy left the church and stayed out for life, and later became a heartless dictator. That former altar boy ruled the people of Yugoslavia with an iron hand for many years. He was known as General Tito.
What are the words you are speaking to people? Is your life being controlled by the words of men? God must always have the final say in your life. The Bible must be the only truth you will accept totally. Throw off every word that does not agree with the written Word of God. Make up your mind to be the person God has called you to be no matter what men say to you. May your words bring healing, deliverance, encouragement, and comfort to people.
*PRAYER GUIDE*
1. Worship God for His Word that is available to all. Thank Him because today, through this message, deliverance will get to many. Repent of every wrong word you have spoken to people.
2. Ask the Lord to open your understanding to the truth. Pray for the revival of the prosperity of God’s Word among Christians all over the world.
3. Reject every negative emotion that you have embraced because of what people said to you. Ask the Lord to restore His people who have left His Family because of what people said to them.
4. Pray for emotional healing for missionaries and their families, widows, widowers, orphans, single parents, fatherless and motherless ones, and elderly people.
5. Talk to the Lord about your personal needs. Pray for the leaders of your country and for the peace of Jerusalem. Give God praise for the answers to your prayers.
*Inspiring Quote*
Be mindful when it comes to your words. A string of some that don’t mean much to you may stick with someone else for a lifetime.
