WATCH WHAT YOU SAY – 2

February 24, 2014

A store boy was asked by an elderly lady, “Can I buy a half loaf of bread?” The boy walked to the Manager’s office, not realizing that the old lady followed him. He said to the manager, “Sir, can you imagine one old bag asking if she could buy a half loaf of bread?” The manager could not respond and this made the boy sense something strange.

The boy turned around and saw the elderly lady right behind him, quickly he added, “And there is this other fine old lady who would like to buy the other half.” The old lady who had already raised her walking stick up waiting for the boy to turn towards her and hit him on the head, smiled and walked away.

In the book of Ezekiel 37 when the prophet found himself in the valley of dry bones, the dry bones might never have become living souls, had the man of God not open his mouth to prophecy. Have you ever thought of why the doctor would ask you to stick out your tongue whenever you are not feeling well? Your tongue reveals what’s going on inside of you – both physically and spiritually. I tell people that the direction of their lives is set by the tongue.

Sometimes some of us jokingly say things like; “I am doomed,”  “foolish me” etc. whether we like it or not, believe it or not, those words are seeds, and seeds germinate. Consciously watch what you say. Stop cursing your wife. Stop saying negative things. Start saying scriptural things. Use your tongue to shape your world. Use your tongue to say what you want to become in life. Heaven and earth came into being by spoken words.

Someone said confession is the mother of possession, no wonder Romans 4:17 says, “Calling those things which be not as though they were.” You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue. Tame your tongue.
