Power of Words!

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.
PROVERBS 18:21 AMP

Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 MSG

Different versions, same verse, pointed message. My life is expressed by the output of my lips. My earthly impact and eternal reward are all tied to the fruits if my life, mainly expressed by what I say or do not say. Do you know why words are very important? God created the whole earth as we see it now by His Word, and he continues to renew, replenish and restore all through his Word. If indeed as the Word says, we are created in his image and likeness, then we carry the same genes of greatness and impact, and we must therefore be careful about what we say.

From the times of the Patriarchs, words have been used to either build up or tear down. Wars have been fought, destinies changed, love renewed, lives ended and generations preserved all through the power of the tongue. Indeed, the Word calls the tongue a small part of the body,  but one capable of great things. Indeed, how you use your tongue determines what your eternal impact and destination will be. You are responsible for the use of your tongue and you will live with the consequences of how you use it. Nothing is ever done in vain; God has tied a consequence to all that we do here, good or bad. That is the law of sowing and reaping, which has stood since the days of Noah.

What power are you giving your words- death or life? Your priorities, pursuits and relationships today will reveal the answer to  that question. His time of favour is here.
