James 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
It is generally accepted that a closed mouth is a closed destiny but you must equally note that it is not just enough to open your mouth wide and speak because an open mouth not guided will equally be a yoke and a burden to your destiny.
How then can you open your mouth wide and speak God's counsel and will if that which you have acquired in you is not according to the will of God.
The bible says, even the widest animal on earth has been tamed by man but not the tongue and this calls for wisdom. If the bible is saying the tongue is more powerful than the widest animal on earth them you should be able to know that God who said that knows what He means. This is the more reason we have to be careful what we say.
Let's consider these important things about the mouth:
♦ We can see from Scriptures that, the mouth and the heart are connected. Prov 23:7a for as a man thinketh in his heart, so his he.
The mouth is responsible for revealing what is in your heart Matthew 12:34".... for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
The reason why Many people say evil or negative things when they are challenged is because of the content of their heart.
The content of your heart determines what flows out of your mouth and what flows out of your mouth determines what you attract into your life.
Michal David's wife who was Saul's daughter carried barrenness as her lot because she couldn't hold her mouth against the Lord's anointed (2 Samuel 6:16,20,23). This is why you must be very careful of your thoughts and words towards God's people.
One of the strongest proof of faith is your confession. We believe, therefore we speak.. There is nothing that you truly believe that you will not boldly declare. Many times, people including so called Christians refer to men of faith as proud people but that's not true.
If you call a man of faith a proud man because he declares a possibility you fail to see, you are not only accusing him/her falsely, you're also fighting his God unknowingly because he declared that based on the word. If you speak against such a person and call him names, you have only succeeded in limiting your own self because you can't fight against God and not be in big trouble.
*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: Watch your thoughts and watch your words for they determine the events and happenings of your life and destiny. (Judah Olatunde)*
*Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me and guide me continually. Help me not to use my own mouth to destroy my own destiny, thank you Lord in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
