Talk well

Exodus 4:12
“Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say”

How well you talk as a Christian will determine the battles you can win or lose. It will also determine whether you will be favoured by people or lose favour in the sight of people.

You see, our opening text tells how God was so concerned about how Moses would talk to Pharaoh thus, He promised to be with his (Moses’s) mouth”.

You see, in talking you must learn to choose your words carefully. Not only that, it must also be associated with the right mannerism, gesture or body language. Also, the tone and the pace of letting out words from your mouth makes your talk good or bad.
In talking well, you must be able to know when it is appropriate to say something or keep it for a later date or day.
Proverbs 15:23 says “A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!”
Proverbs 15:1-2 says “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness”

You see, what you say or how you talk can let your light shine or put your light out. Many people have lost great privileges because of lack of “talking well”. Aside the spiritual implications that talking brings, in your social interactions with people, how you talk can be the game changer – by either sending you up or bringing you down.

How well do you talk to people?
Are you careful with your choice of words?
Do you add the appropriate courtesies in terms of manners when talking?
Do you put your tone right and pace of words well when talking?

Don’t forget that, before people will even relate with you, your words or “talks” makes them know you.
Never be carried away by anger, childishness and emotions to UTTER words anyhow.
Know this, your words can go a long way to determine your eternal destination because by it, you are either justified or condemned (Mathew 12:36).

Just as people plan before investing, examine before selecting and test before recommending, you must also learn to think and ponder on what to say before you talk

Read: Matthew 12:37 “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”
