Words can be tweaked, rearranged and shuffled to give
different meanings and out of every word, other words can be formed, found and
produced. For instance from the word “WORDS”,
over 7 words can be formed from it: sword, rods,
sow, rows, or, so, do etc. therefore, we can say, words produce fruits
of more words. Out of our lips words come forth, it means our lips produce
fruits which are words. There are different products formed, good or bad. What
however determines the outcome is the source from where it proceeds from which
is the heart.
A farmer who plants seeds considers many factors in planting. The ground tilled properly, the right amount of water and
other necessities. As the farmer harvests, he is the first to be the partaker
of what he harvests before selling to others.
It’s the same process with words spoken by everyone. You are
the first partaker of the words you say. You eat of the fruits of your lips
first before others eat it. So what do you produce out of your lips? Good
fruits or bad fruits? If you lie, you lie to yourself first before you lie to
others, if you slander, you are the first partaker, if you bless others you are
first blessed, if you encourage others you are encouraged first (Pause and
think calmly). This means whatsoever you say comes to you first.
So, what are you saying now?
Are you complaining, grumbling, murmuring, and worrying? It’s
not right. God created our lips to give him thanks, glorify his name and
acknowledge him as God. We all in diverse ways frustrate our own lives because
of what we say. We are not cautious or conscious of what we say to ourselves and to others.
If you look back in your life, wherever you are now is a
product of what you say to yourself through what you have said to others. If you
feel that you have been very critical in your words towards others and you
haven’t been speaking well of yourself, there’s a way out.
God created your lips and has the capacity to heal it and
give you a new speech. Forgive yourself of all the bad words you have spoken to
others and to yourself, repent of them and start afresh letting God speak
through you always.
We are meant to encourage others when they are weighed down,
we are meant to speak the truth all the time and let lies be far from our lips,
we are not meant to slander others, speak evil or gossip about other people’s
private lives or weaknesses.
The more we become conscious of this and speak kind word to
others remembering we are speaking to ourselves then, we have already started
change in our lives and in our society.
Speak-thinking! There is more gain in speaking well.
Have a great week!
Ciao,
