Actively Doing Your Part in the Great CommissionSample

YOUR WORDS ARE YOUR CREATIVE EMISSARIES (3)

I showed you two pictures yesterday from the Word of God in James 3. I will show you one more picture today from the same chapter.

Picture 3: “Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!” (Jam.3:5).

“Kindling” is a word used to describe little pieces of wood to keep the fire going. What fire have you started in your life? Every fire has kindling. Why don’t you set up the right fire? You can set up fire to burn sickness in your body and to completely consume every work of the devil in your life.

A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest of winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything (great and mighty things) and destroy anything as well. It all depends on how you are using it.

It only takes a spark, remember, to start a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do the same. As Christians, we must master the vocabulary of life and not destruction. Your tongue is a fire, and it can burn things up. Make sure it is only burning the wrong things out of your life and not the right things. May your mouth be under the advice of your born-again spirit and not your flesh in Jesus’ name. Amen!

PRAYER: I pray that my mouth will be under the influence of my recreated human spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen!
