James
3:2 “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body”.
We
have meditated a lot on the importance of confessing God’s word as a necessary
ingredient to successful faith walk.
However,
I want to raise the bar higher. That is, beyond just being concerned about
confessing in line with God’s word when desiring something, let us bring it to
speaking right words all the time.
“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”. 1Peter 3:10
What
do you suppose evil speaking is? Remember the children of Israel: the
scriptures say they brought up an evil report concerning the land.
It means they spoke contrary to God’s
promise regarding the land. Train yourself to speak in agreement with God’s
word as a way of life not just to fulfill a formula of faith.
