YOUR WORDS CAN BUILD OR DESTROY YOUR LIFE


 





"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips." (Psalm 141:3, NKJV) 


These words from David reveal an important truth about the power of your tongue. You need God's help to control the words that come out of your mouth. Every word you speak carries power—it can either build or destroy. Your words can bring success or push you backward. That’s why it’s important to ask God for wisdom so that every word you speak is beneficial, not destructive.

God has placed great power in the words we speak. Your tongue is like a key to your life. When you speak with faith, you build a bright future. When you speak with fear, complaints, or negativity, you open the door to destruction.

In the Scriptures, God heard the words of the Israelites when they were in the wilderness and received reports that the Promised Land was filled with strong and mighty people. Instead of trusting in God's power, they complained, saying it would have been better to die in Egypt or the wilderness. God was angered by their words. They forgot the miracles He had performed for them—such as parting the Red Sea and providing manna. As a result, many of them perished in the wilderness, and their generation did not enter the Promised Land (Numbers 14:1-30).

This is a great lesson for you. You must be careful with every word you speak. Do not allow words of complaint, fear, or doubt to come out of your mouth. Instead, learn to speak words of faith, gratitude, and humility. Recognize God's goodness in your life, even when facing challenges. Say, “Lord, I thank You for my life, for Your grace and the opportunities I have, and for Your protection.” These words can change your destiny because your life is shaped by your words.

Choose today to speak words that build, bless, and bring life. Avoid words of curses, despair, complaints, or death. Use your tongue wisely, and you will see positive results in your life.

Prayer: O Lord, help me to speak words of wisdom and gratitude. Teach me to see Your goodness every day and to speak words of faith and hope. Thank You for Your grace and for guiding me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...

GOD'S PLAN TO PROSPER YOU

  "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)"   God wants you to prosper, and He has a specific plan and method to ensure your success. This special way God has designed for your prosperity is clearly outlined in today’s verse. Let’s break it down: so let us break this verse down;  1. What is the Kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God is His rule over all creation, especially in the hearts of His people. Seeking the Kingdom means living according to God’s will, building a relationship with Him, and working to fulfill His purposes on earth. The word "seek" implies deliberate and consistent effort. It’s not a one-time decision but a daily endeavor to prioritize God in every area of life.  2. "And His Righteousness" Righteousness is living a life that reflects God’s character and standards. It involves moral integrity, obedience to His commandments, and living by faith.  3....
