Featured today is Banshee, a member of the Xmen that has the remarkable ability due to the strength of his superhumanly powerful lungs, throat, and vocal cords could produce a sonic scream for various effects, which range from flying, exploding or imploding objects, piercing objects, and he could even injure himself. Today's scripture is a Proverb which are moreso common sense statements that should be used to help us live sensible lives. This speaks specifically though regarding the power in our very mouths, much like this SuperHero. Essentially our tongues are powerful enough to speak life into people, or death. If you don't believe me....think about why you are who you are and where you are right now. Who encouraged you to____________________ or who discouraged your from______________? Think about the effects of a verbally abusive relationship, contrary to a coach who loves the kids and tirelessly poured words into them, to which they are now a professional athlete.
Much like Banshee, our words our tongue even has the ability to cause harm to ourselves. If you are married/divorced you know exactly what I'm talking about. Think of all the hopeful politicians that because of something they said (right, wrong or indifferent) that it costed them the nomination. The power of the tongue is a gift from GOD, which HE demonstrated the beauty of it, in Genesis. If you turn to the first two chapters you read that GOD spoke and then it was. Now we don't have same power to that extent, but on a much smaller scale....we have the ability to encourage ourselves (speak to ourselves and even others) to do things beyond our wildest imaginations.
YOUR CHALLENGE TODAY, focus...and try to speak LIFE into EVERY PERSON you meet, and who knows the fruit that will be produced by you speaking the TRUTH in LOVE, but I do know this...it will be GOOD FRUIT! LGLP
