Words were cheapened by abuse and misuse, men since the fall have shaped their destiny through their confession. Those who walked in negative confession fell into diverse lust and failures while those with good confession walked into victory and wrought great miracles signs and wonders.


Let us walk carefully and let our lips speak the holiness of God without becoming gossip, slanderers and accusers for those who abide in life, abide in Christ and live to the fullness of life. Therefore those who want to have abundant life should learn to keep their tongue steadfast and pure, because the untamed tongue is a “world of iniquity and fire” a sure way to trouble. James advises us to not be foolish and get wisdom from above so that we will walk in righteousness and purity of words (see James 3:13). The following words of wisdom should guide our conduct always,

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21)

“For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.” (Matthew 12:37)

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)

“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:6-10)

“Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me…” (2 Timothy 1:13)

“Therefore be imitators of God…there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.” (Ephesians 5:1, 4)
