KEY SCRIPTURE Joh 11:16 KJV” Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him”.

Words are documents in the Spirit, that gives God and His angels the right to assist us or permits Satan and his demons the grounds to invade one’s life and destroy him or her. Mat 12:37 KJV” For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”: According to Ps 45:1, the tongue is  pen of a ready writer. It writes matters or decrees that can set you free or bind and make a mess of you. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit thereof. Prov 18;21.

In our key scripture Thomas answering the Lord” s statement concerning the death of Lazarus, said , Let us go and die with him. The Lord talked about going to raise  him up, he, Thomas, was speaking about going to die with him. What was the essence of such a statement ?It was purely a careless statement. Col 4:6 KJV “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” To avoid such careless ways of speaking; we must heed the following advice. James 1:19 KJV” Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”:

Now, how should we speak according to the scriptures:

1.   Speak the truth Eph 4;15

2.   Speak in love Eph 4:15

3. Speak words born in faith 2nd Cor 4:13

4. Speak words of hope Ps 32:7

5. Speak thoughtful words. James 1: 19

6. Speak respectfully

7. Speak thankfully 1st Chron.16:8

8. Speak praisefully Ps 30:12

9. Speak joyfully

The above way of speaking are deeply rooted in the scriptures. You must avoid all words that the word of God forbids us from saying. Example of such words are; insults, lies, hopeless words, words of doubt and unbelief, words of fear, careless words, character defaming words, words of reproach, unthoughtful words. The child of God must not allow any of these to proceed from his mouth.1Pe 3:10 KJV For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

CONFESSION

Thanks to you, oh God my father, for the truth of your word. I give my heart to your word in total submission. I speak therefore the words inspired by the Spirit of God. My words bring glory to God, blesses men and promotes my life, in Jesus’ name.
