Change Your World by Changing Your Words

Our words have tremendous power. When we speak positive, faith-filled words, we invite God to work in our situation but when we speak negative words, we do the opposite. This is why it is so important to tame our tongue and only speak words that will give life to our future.

Never speak down on yourself. Do not entertain thoughts and speak things like, “I’m not very talented. I come from an average background. I don’t have what it takes. I’ll never overcome my bad habits.” These types of thoughts and words are loaded with poison that will kill you faster than a snake.

Second, never speak negatively about your family. No matter what your family member has done, never mention it in public. You do not have to hide or defend their wrongs but you do not have to announce it to the world either.

Last but not the least; develop a habit not to speak evil of no one. God did not put us here to find faults in others but to live out our calling in life. Remember, when you speak down on one of God’s children, you invite God’s wrath upon yourself. Instead of speaking negative, bless yourself, your family and your fellowmen.

The Bible says, “The tongue can bring death or life” (Proverbs 18:21 NLT). Imagine the consequences of a moment’s emotional defeat! Stop speaking self-defeating, negative words, instead, “You will decree a thing and it shall be established for you” (Job 22:28). Speak life!
