TOPIC: SHAPING YOUR DESTINY WITH YOUR TONGUE
TEXT: "And the
tongue is a fire…and setteth on fire the
course of
nature…"( James 3:6).
James 3 talks about the
power of our tongue and how wrong words can
have devastating effects. It probably focuses
mostly on the negative side of the tongue, because
we have a tendency to be more negative with
our words than positive.
People tend to speak
death far more than life. They will discuss
sickness far more than the blessings of health.
James 3:6 says our tongue is like a fire. Fire
has the ability to spread rapidly and eventually affects
things not even in its original vicinity. Our
words can spread and affect things we didn’t even
expect or perhaps may never even know about.
James 3:6 also says, “and setteth on fire
the course of nature.” It is saying that our words
can literally set nature in
motion. If our words
can set nature in motion in the negative sense,
then they can set it in motion in the positive
sense, but those words need time to spread.
James also likens our words to the rudder on
a ship. Ships can’t be turned in one instant.
It may take some time to reverse some things
with our words, but nature will adjust to them
eventually.
So begin to change
things that have been formed by words today, whether
they were yours or someone else’s, and
allow nature to be set in motion for blessing!
