Your Tongue is a Weapon

Text: Num 14: 21-38
MORE LESSONS: Prov. 18:20-21
Bible Reading in one Year: Isaiah 4-6

When Moses sent twelve men to spy the land which God had promised, ten of them came back with bad reports of how they could not take the land and how they would die in the hands of the giants. They all, except Joshua and Caleb, used their tongues to seal their own doom. The words of your mouth determine your destiny. The words you speak are seeds which will bring forth fruits after their kind. When you use your tongue to talk wealth, success, goodness and greatness these things will follow you. Also, when you talk poverty, failure, how bad the economy is and how there is no job and money, these things will also pursue you.

A man will be satisfied with good by the fruits of his words, and the deeds of a man's hand will return to him: Prov. 14: 14. Whether a man will live long or die young can be deduced from the kind of words that he speaks, Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof: Prov. 18: 20-21. Do not use your tongue to kill but use it to speak life to your destiny and everything around you.

Every word you speak has an effect in the realm of the spirit, so you must be careful to speak only what you want to see in your life, Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel that it was an error: where fore should God be angry at thy voice and destroy the works of thine hands: Eccl. 5: 6. Don't speak loose and careless words over your destiny and other people's lives and later claim that it was a joke which you didn't mean. Say what you mean and mean what you say; say only words that are positive, edifying and seasoned with grace because ...you shall have whatsoever you say: Mark 11: 23.

The way to make the right use of your tongue is to first stuff your heart with the right thoughts and ideas because . . . out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh: Matt 12: 34. Make sure that it is the Word of God that fills your heart and not the situations, news and crises in the world. When the Word of God fills your heart, it will flow out in form of right and powerful words which will cause a change in your situation for the better, Therefore let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord: Col 3: 16 (NKJV). As you engage your tongue for lifting and prosperity , God is committed to that which you say. .

*Ask that the Spirit of God will rule over your tongue from now on.
*Ask that no evil will ever again proceed from your tongue.
* Ask that any negative act happening anywhere as a result of a misuse of your tongue be reversed now, in Jesus’ name.
