Where the word of a king is, there is power…(Ecclesiastes 8:4)
As a Christian what we speak, matters. We do not speak the language of this world. Language of our location and times, should not make us, we should make the language. We need to construct our language or speech to fit our faith and belief.
For example; it’s common way of speech for people to say: “I’m afraid it’s going to rain”. As a Christian you must not join this type of speech. God doesn’t want us to talk fear. Just because everyone else is saying it and, it is being taught in schools as a phrase, doesn’t make it right. Instead you should choose the right language and say: “I think it might rain”.
There are things that as God’s children, we should not speak. They just shouldn’t come out of our lips. You are a king, and your words have power. So make a choice today that you won’t join in speaking the language and the words of this world but instead you will maintain your glory as a Child of God by having the higher way of language and speech, which is dignified and appropriate according to God’s word.
Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank you for teaching me the right way of speaking through your Word. Im gracious in my speech. I refuse to speak the language of this world, but instead I speak words full of love, power and wisdom, in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!
