TOPIC: A Powerful Weapon
MEMORIZE: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21
BIBLE READING: James 3:6-9
6. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8. But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Open Heaven for Teens 25 April 2021 Devotional MESSAGE
In our Bible reading for today, the tongue is compared with fire. Of course, there are a lot of good things one can do with fire such as cooking, burning refuse, creating warmth especially during cold weather et cetera.
However, if fire is not used properly, it can destroy things. This also applies to our tongue. If you don’t use your tongue properly, it can even lead to death according to our memory verse.
There is power in your tongue and you need to know how to use it. So, rather than use the power in your mouth to say negative things about people or curse, use it to your advantage.
When in a difficult situation, speak positively. The Bible says in Romans 4:17: “even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Call forth the things you want in your life, academics and career with the power in your tongue today.
Use your tongue to your advantage.
BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 13:1-39, 14:1-33; Luke 20:1-47
