TOPIC: WHAT TO DO AWAY WITH IN OUR LIVES 7: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 37, Day 7: Saturday, 10th September, 2022. TOPIC: WHAT TO DO AWAY WITH IN OUR LIVES 7:

“5  Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 

7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and  creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.”

Our tongue might be one of the smallest part of our body but its effect is more than any other parts. It’s enclose by the mouth but can’t be controlled by it. Every words of a man can’t be uttered without the tongue, as important as our words are, so dangerous is it if not being controlled properly.

A man’s tongue can destroy and/or make him, depending on how it’s being used. God want us, His Children, to use our mouth for His Glory and nothing less. Our tongue need to be tamed and this can be done by the Holy Spirit of God. Many are where they are today all because of their tongue, either for good or for bad. King Solomon said,

“21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,  And those who love it will eat its fruit.” Prov. 18:21.

The life of God is in our tongue when we use it for God and death is also in it when we use it for the devil, what are you using it for? An untamed tongue is a lying tongue, gossiping tongue, false witnessing tongue, home scattering tongue, destructive tongue, and evil tongue. To win over sin, our tongue need to be tamed often.

James 1:26, says,

“26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and  does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.”

Our tongue has a significant effects on our walk with God. When we speak negatively always, it’s a prove of negative tongue which can’t obey God’s word nor follow His leading. Your tongue determines where you get to in life both spiritual and physical. How are you using your tongue?

God Bless you and Good Morning.
