*Take heed of the words you speak.*
2 Kings 7:1-2
Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
The above verses of scriptures shows us the importance of the words that we speak.
The adviser to the king that doubted the words of the prophet and spoke negatively ended up seeing the prophecy fulfilled but didn't partake of it, he died.
The reason was because of the words he had spoken earlier. Words are seeds, when spoken they are planted and in the process of time we reap the harvest of the what we have spoken. Like Jesus said to his disciples *' Take heed of the words you speak'*
