TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 3: Control Over Your Word (Utterances)
MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”
BIBLE READING:
Numb. 14:28.
“28 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you:”
When we walk with God, the consciousness of His presence must be in our heart. The children of Israel knew God was with them, seeing all the miracles they’ve experienced right from the land of
Egypt to the wilderness. Provisions of water, food, strength and unexpected act of God, despite all these, they lack the consciousness of controlling the words of their mouth. When situation arises, they spill out hurting words to God’s servant. They speak carelessly without considering God’s presence around them. Every child of God, who desire to walk with God, consistently needs to guard their utterances. When speaking to others and themself, watch what you are saying because God can seal it at once.
He told Moses, “I heard the word of the Israelite, they spill out fear, destruction and disbelief in Me, so therefore, I’ve made it their request and it shall come to pass as they’ve said (Personal paraphrase).
When our mind is renewed, and our thoughts has been worked on, the words that should come out of our mouth should be edifying. It should be a word that heals and not word that wounds. God expect everyone who will walk with Him to guard the words of their mouth, towards their children, spouse, members, ministers, coworkers and loved ones. What you don’t desire do not say it. Stop speaking fear, negative words and faithless words because God is right beside you. Bridle the word of your mouth daily, have control on what you say and your walk with God will be great.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
