GUARD YOUR WORDS

By Pastor Ayo-Simeon Agbelusi

In Proverbs 18:21, the Bible says:

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Your words are powerful instruments that can either build or destroy. What you say to yourself and others can influence attitudes, strengthen relationships, or create unnecessary conflicts.

Beloved, don’t allow temporary anger, frustration, or discouragement to control your speech. As a child of God, your words should reflect the wisdom, love, and truth of Jesus Christ.

A spiritually mature believer must learn when to speak, what to say, and when to remain silent.

Today, deliberately replace complaints with gratitude, harsh words with kindness, and careless statements with words that strengthen faith.

Remember, your mouth should be an instrument of blessing and not a weapon of destruction.

Speak life. Speak wisdom. Glorify Jesus!

Prayer: Father, please be with my mouth. Help me to speak right words to the weary souls, make me an encouragement to all and let my words glorify your name in Jesus name.
