POISON OR FRUIT!
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE POWER OF POSITIVE WORDS IN ONCE LIFE…Jesus cautions in Matthew 12:34, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." When evil resides in the heart, it will be exposed in perverse speech, language contrary to the truth of God and to love.
The word of God is life. We have to speak positive things in our mouth to release life.
How can one claim that he is a Christian and loves God when all he sees in a person are the negative things. How can we show love to those who are hurting? By releasing to them positive things. Show love instead of being a partaker of their negativity.
It is either you are releasing good fruits or poison to them.
Proverbs 18:21 “WORDS KILL, WORDS GIVE LIFE! “
Have you ever been the subject of someone’s gossip? Have ever seen people looking at you and throwing dirty words on you? Have you been part of the group who gossips, giggling, whispering and saying nasty things about a person? The words that you speak has the power to hurt someone, destroy their reputation and make life miserable or they have the power to encourage someone so that they feel better for themselves; to defend people that are being picked on and to speak the truth instead of lies. Which one would you rather be on the receiving end of?
I will give you an illustration….Filipinos are the worst businessmen that’s why I am ashamed to be a Filipino (negative) Opinion express is not necessarily follow that you are right! Or is it better you say it this way “ I love Filipinos I will prove to the world that Filipinos are the best businessmen .”
Let us stop putting down on people but instead be an encourager. Talking badly about other people is destructive but it is also destructive for you to talk badly about yourself. When we make a mistake how do you react? Do you beat yourself with words like, “You stupid, you idiot?” I myself am guilty of this but remember ““WORDS KILL, WORDS GIVE LIFE! “. When you are critical and negative with your words, it’s as if you are making your soul drink poison, it will slowly eat away your self-esteem and emotions. It will show in your face what you feel inside your heart and one become sick in the body because negative forces eats up your energy. When you are positive and encouraging with your words it’s like giving your soul the tastiest apple to munch on! It builds you up and make you strong and healthy. Remember, God is never negative and always encourage. Make that your habit today!
Remember this scriptures:
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Psalm 139:13 “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
Psalm 139:13 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
We are set apart bought with a price…we are special! Go and encourage others!
Shalom!!
