Power of Words.....

Proverbs 18:21 KJV:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

This verse and thought bears repeating again because of its importance in our lives and our walk with God. God, who is our father and creator, laid a foundation for this thought by creating the entire universe with words. He simply spoke the entire world into existence and still keeps sustaining it through the power of his word. All we see and hear today are offsprings of the foundations already laid by God. To make matters even better, God made man in his own image, and sealed it by imparting his breath into man. God's creative power, amazing words and higher life were all imparted into man with that breath. Man now has the power to dominate, create, and subdue. What sin did was to corrupt the power and ability God had given; sin could never take away from us what it never gave in the first place, it could only seek to corrupt that which God had given.
We therefore have an opportunity to walk once again in the full realisation of our power, grace and ability in God. God's original plan is still there, and only as I tap into the free stream that comes from God can I fully live out my potential. My words are important because of who I am. It doesn't matter initially who I know; all of us were given the power of words. Most just don't know how to use it right, and they spend the oppourtunity cursing others. But for as many as have God's life in them, there's a deep understanding of the power of words and why we need to watch what we say and how it is said. God doesn't waste words, neither does he talk anyhow; everything he says is purpose-driven and eternity- based. If only we could learn from him, how less complicated our lives would be and the great impact our words would have.
The power of our words are clearly spelt out today. It is a choice to be made between two clear alternatives. There is no middle ground, you just must commit to one direction. May God grant us the grace to watch our words before they end up as destiny-destroyers. Speak life, spread life and get life. His time of favour is here
