Devotional ODM for 20th June 2024
DEVOTIONAL TOPIC: BITE YOUR TONGUE!
NOW READ HERE BASIC SCRIPTURE: June 20TH 2024
A wise man once said to a group of ladies: “Who cares for your beauty if your tongue is ugly.” Yes! Your language determines your progress in the face of adverse circumstances. I am not talking about English or French or any other language. I am talking about your “spiritual language.” If Your Language Is Persistently Negative, You Can Never Consistently Experience Positive Results In Life. If things are not going on well with you, check that ‘tap’ under your nose: what is coming out of it? Sweet water or bitter water? Our Basic Scripture makes it clear: just as it is abnormal for a spring to produce both sweet and bitter water, it is abnormal for a man to speak positively and negatively, and expect to get positive experiences. Nothing changed in the life of Abraham until his language changed. Nothing changed in Gideon’s life until his language changed. Nothing changed in Moses’ life until his language changed. Twelve spies were sent to the land of Canaan, ten of them came back with an evil report concerning the land. Only Caleb and Joshua spoke positively and they won the favour of God. Hear Frank Sonnenberg: “It’s better to bite your tongue than to eat your words.” Indeed, as a rudder steers a ship, the tongue steers your life. So, you must watch your words! What do you call yourself? When problems come, how do you describe them? You hear some people say, “This MY HEADACHE… hope it won’t kill me one day,” “YOU THIS CHILD! You won’t kill me one day…” If you are always talking negatively like that, you are separating yourself from the rain of God’s blessings. A proverb says: “Loose tongues are worse than wicked hands.” Close with Faydra D. Fields: “Sometimes you have to decide which will hurt more: biting your tongue or having your say.” Please bite your tongue and save your destiny!!
