Proverbs 18:20-21 “From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit”
The mouth they say is the most creative tool of the human body. Within it lies the Power to either create or destroy life. As a matter of fact, you can talk yourself into life or death. It is YOUR CHOICE. That’s why you need great wisdom before you talk. You need to operate with the tongue of the learned.
See Isaiah 50:4, “The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned”. If you want to see progress in life, you must learn to talk well. Your tongue must be guided greatly.
Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”
You see, your tongue has the power to create your world. It might sound illogical but that’s how God in his infinite wisdom has programmed it. You can decide the direction of life: That choice is in your mouth.
John Gills Commentary explains it this way: “death and life are in the power of the tongue – of witnesses, according to the testimony they bear; of judges, according to the sentence they pass; of teachers, according to the doctrine they preach; of all men, who by their well or ill speaking, bring death or life to themselves and others. Some, by their tongues, by the too free use of them, or falsehood they utter, are the cause of death to themselves and others; and some, by their silence, or by their prudent speech and prevalent intercession, secure or obtain life for themselves and others; yea, judgment at the last day will proceed according to a man’s words, “By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”, (Matthew 12:37); the tongue is the instrument either of a great deal of good, or of a great deal of evil .”
You can talk yourself out from death and vice versa. But chose not to talk yourself to death. As a Christian you must not allow life’s events and happenings to keep you down, speak yourself up and live again.
Job said, “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person”. (Job 22:29) In moments of negativities and adversities, what you say to yourself is very crucial.
Don’t talk defeat, diseases and poverty. Confess Gods word of victory, healing and prosperity. Never sink your destiny by talking yourself down in life.
Read: Job 22:29, “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.”
