GOD’S WORD FOR YOU TODAY 18/02/2022

TOPIC: WORDS MEAN EVERYTHING

TEXT: MATHEW 12:37
Matthew 12:37
NKJV: For by your words, you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
NLT: The words you say now reflect your fate then; either you will be justified by them, or you will be condemned.”

 One of the greatest gifts given to man is the gift of Words; the ability to express himself in words. It is an extraordinary gift from God to human beings. Your inner personality comes out in words. Your words are important, and they mean everything. Sadly, many haven't realized this, and it's the major reason they live Ordinary lives here on earth. Everything God gave us is activated through words. Our very Salvation depends on words. You received Salvation by words; you maintain Salvation by words. Whether you live or die is dependent on your words. Whether you live in sickness or health, poverty or wealth, victory or defeat, depends on your words. The Lord gave you the ability to speak to these challenges; to use your mouth to chart your course aright in life.

      Your mouth wasn't just given to you primarily for eating and drinking and communicating with others; the primary function of your mouth and your tongue is to steer your life in God's direction.

Proverbs 18:21
NKJV: Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
NLT: Those who love to talk will experience the consequences, for the tongue can kill or nourish life.
Learn to talk right. Talking right means talking the Word of God only and always. It also means valuing what you say, learning to keep promises. Your words must have integrity ; they must mean something to you.

  There are people who are careless with words and when they talk to you, they know their words don't mean anything because they don't plan to keep it. You must say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't speak idle, inoperative words. In Mathew 12:36,  the Lord Jesus said, " 

Matthew 12:36
NKJV: But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
NLT: And I tell you this, that you must give an account on judgment day of every idle word you speak.”

 God holds you accountable for the things you say. Don't make careless statements , for they will produce results for you.

NB:   One other the ways the World around you can see Jesus in you is through your character, which is often expressed in your words. Therefore, speak Wholesome, gracious words every time and everywhere. Make it a conscious exercise to store God's Word in your heart, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Mathew 12:34). As God's Word dwell richly in your heart, you will develop and speak the right words; gracious and faith-filled words.
