RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY WEDNESDAY 11TH OCTOBER 2023.
Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue….” It parallels what the Master said in Matthew 12:37, “For by thy words thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shalt de condemned.” Through your thoughts, your character is formed, but it’s expressed through your words. Your mouth-work is your life.
As revealed in our opening verse, Christian perfection or maturity is expressed primarily in your communication. If you want to go in the right direction in life, your tongue is the compass. If you offend in words, you’re sunk; but if your communication is wholesome, your life will be great. Your speech controls you. Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life….” I love the way Peter puts it in 1 Peter 3:10; it says, “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.” In other words, maintain the right confession. Your mouth is where your blessing is. Romans 10.10 says, “…with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” It’s a principle.
God said to Joshua,” this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night…” (Joshua 1:8). That means keep affirming the Word. No matter what’s happening around you, keep the Word on your lips. The Bible says, ”When men are cast down, then thou shalt say 7here is lifting up…” (Job 22:29).
Again, the emphasis is on what you say. When things are rough and tough, you’re not to wait to be lifted; you have a lifting power; it’s in your mouth. What is it that you want? It’s all in your mouth. That’s the compass with which you steer your life aright, in the direction of God’s perfect will. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
I have a wholesome tongue; my words are sculpted in line with God‘s perfect will and direction for my life. I walk in divine health, prosperity, victory, success and financial abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
