Title: Your Tongue

Your tongue has the power of life and death. Those who love to talk will eat the fruit of their words. Proverbs 18:21 NIRV

Devotion: The tongue is a very small part of the body. In adult female it weighs in average 60g and 70g in males. There's a Yoruba song that says the tongue is the sweetest animal flesh. It is the bitterest part. It can be compared to the rudder of a ship, though small it is used to direct the ship to desired destination.

It has the power of life and death either to the user or to who it is used. The tongue can be used to edify or to bring down, to uplift, to invocate curse (to call forth by incantation, to conjure) to curse war. It's use cannot be counted. 

The question this morning is "How do you, do I use your/my tongue? As children of God we have duty to use our tongues positively in praises, edifying, in correction of others constructively with love. We must not harshly critizise others especially the unbeliever or children. Our harsh talk may affect their psychy negatively and some may not recover. 

Dear reader do you use your tongue gently on your children, neighbors or you have a sharp tongue. Pray that God guide you to use it positively.

If you have concerns let us know. Hallelujah.
