Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Thursday, October 12th 2017- USE WHOLESOME WORDS

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD

(Let Your Communication Be Edifying Always)

TO THE BIBLE:

Ephesians 4:29 AMPC“Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.”

LET'S TALK

Some young people think its cool to use bad words in addressing one another. They even go as far as learning these words just to use them against others. That's wrong! In very instructive and categorical terms, the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul admonishes us not to engage in unwholesome or corrupt communication. Rather, the words that proceed out of your lips should be words that'll render healing to a broken heart, courage to the discouraged, and comfort to the afflicted.

The Bible let's us know that a perfect man is one who doesn't offend in words (James 3:2). His words are consistent with God's Word. When he speaks, his hearers are blessed, uplifted and edified. That's because his words are seasoned with grace.Some people are so used to criticising others instead of blessing and praying for them. Make a deliberate decision to keep away from destructive criticisms.

Let your words be kind and affectionate. Refuse to have itching ears for gossip, and don't company with those who are fond of discussing the affairs of others: “And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not” (1 Timothy 5:13).Thus as a Christian, choose to communicate like your heavenly Father.

Let your words concerning people be graceful, inspiring, motivating and encouraging.

GO DEEPER Proverbs 15:23A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!Isaiah 50:4The Lord God has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary.

He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear To hear as the learned.Colossians 4:6Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

SPEAK

Consciously speak only words that minister grace and edify the hearer. I refuse to engage in any unwholesome or defaming communication; through the help of the Spirit, my words are inspiring, motivating, encouraging and always full of grace!

I have power over crises and I am at peace in prosperity! I am on top, in charge and in control of circumstances, because I am empowered by the Spirit of God. Daily, I experience and walk in the full manifestation of God's unprecedented favour, and manifold blessings in my family, health, work, academic, ministry, and finances. Glory to God!This is something to shout about. Keep saying it, don't stop talking it. Remember, your mouth is the edge of a weapon. Refuse to be quiet 🤐God bless you.
