DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES FRIDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2021
TOPIC: Life-Giving Words
Today’s Scripture: Gentle words cause life and health; griping brings discouragement.
Proverbs chapter 15 verse 4, (TLB)
Message: Many people have wounds from the past, wounds from people saying hurtful, judgmental words about them. You and I have something to offer them. Our words can help heal the hurts and break the chains that are holding them back. Our words have the power to lift people up, to help them get through a challenge, to push them toward their destiny.
When you tell someone, “I love you,” you’re not just being kind; those are healing words. It might be just a simple word of encouragement or a compliment, such as “I’m praying for you” or “You look great today.” It’s no big deal to you, but to them it helps heal a wound. It lifts their spirits, causing them to believe in themselves. Just letting people know that you care does more than you imagine. You have the power to put someone on their feet, to keep them from falling into depression, to cause them to pursue their dream.
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that You have given me the power of words to lift others up. All through the day, help me to speak kind words, offer compliments, give encouragement, and lift up those around me. I believe that as I lift others, You will lift me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: What destroys people’s lives here in this world and in eternity (world to come) is bad use of tongue. Hear this warning from the Bible in the book of Ephesians chapter 4 verse 29 (ESV) that says: “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Another scripture in Colossians chapter 3 verse 8 (ESV) encourages and says: “… you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth”. Another passage in the book of Matthew chapter 12 verse 36 (ESV) says: “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak”. I decree and declare that GRACE to tame your tongue and put it under control is given to you. Your tongue shall not destroy your inheritance in this world and it shall not put you into hell fire in the world to come in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
