SMALLEST BUT DANGEROUS
ANCHOR SCRIPTURES: II SAMUEL 6:1-26, Proverbs 18:21, James 3:5-12, Proverbs 13:3
The Children of Israel were able to recover the Ark of God back and was to be moved to the City of David the king, Uzah wanted to help God when the Ark of God wanted to fall, got the anger of God and he died. David was afraid and decided to take the Ark of God to the house of Hitite and God blessed his house because of the Ark of God. The Hitite was used as a test piece but rather God blessed his household.
After David saw that God had blessed the house of the Hitite because of the Ark of God, he decided to take the Ark of God to the City of David, he appointed singers as the Ark of God was taken to the City of David, he dance before God which was offensive in the eyes of Michal his wife and she speaks negative to David.
Tongue by nature is the smallest organ in the human body but as small as it is can defines our totality in life. Michal mock David and her action condemned her and make her to be barren for life . The tongue is the tongue for tatse, talk and take in food, in like manner the tongue has destroyed lives and builds lives.
We have to brindle our tongue because many people lives has been destroyed because of the missused of the tongue. Proverbs 21:23, 10:19, 29:11, James 1:19-20, Ecclesiastes 3:7. don't over talk you may end up revealing most important information about you that may be used against you. Try as hard as possible to be reserved to protect yourself against enemies who want to get information about you to work against you.
Learn to speak words that edifies our lives, words that speak life, positive words. Psalms 34: Mathew 15:11, Proverbs 6:10
We speak negative things because of the state of our hearts, we should build our hearts with the Word of God not the environmental things that surround us.

2. Guard your testimonies Mark 1:41-42
3. Speak the right words about yourself
4. Watch what we speak James 1:26
