Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 42, Day 6: Friday, 20th October, 2023. TOPIC: Paul’s Admonition: Guide Your Tongue (6)

29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. 

Welcome to today’s devotional and i wish you a restful weekend. As we continue to dig deep on Apostle Paul’s admonition to the Ephesus which is also paramount to us as believers, our focus today says, “Guard Your Tongue”, watch what you say, let your conversation be positive to heal wounds not to create wounds. This days, it’s very hard to differenciate believers from the world, our words has become similar to that of the world. We now copy from the world not the world copying from us. Our words has no positive effect, even when two believers speaks it lacks encouraging words. Apostle Paul is saying, let our words be helpful not hurtful, let our words be encouraging to every one who hears it. Speaking from the perspective of faith, induced by the word of God, brings healing but when we speak according to what’s happening around us, it brings more danger and create more fear to the hearer.

It’s time to speak and walk by faith. It’s time to encourage ourselves and others. We need to justify what the word of God says and speak from that perspective to ourselves and others. Foul words, abusive words, discouraging word and fearful word need to be replaced from our heart with the words of faith, yes, it might not be easy but the righteous shall live by faith. Make it your goal to be positive in your words and the Holy Spirit will enable you to live that life in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
