Hello fellow steemians, welcome to my blog today. Our words are powerful. The words we speak are the things that guides us and chat a part for us to follow. It’sso sad that most people have not yet understood the role words play to shape their destinies. They use words carelessly, oftentimes speaking curses or harm over their lives. Hear what the Bible has to say about words.

Kind words bring life, but cruel words crush your spirit.
Proverbs 15:4 GNB

A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life, But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.
PROVERBS 15:4 AMP

So from the passages above, you could the impact words have on a person’s life. Good, gentle and kind words brings life, healing. It works like medicine. On the contrary, harsh, cruel and unkind words destroys, maims and kills. It can shrink someone’s spirit thereby hindering them pursuing their highest potential.

I have had the opportunity to have a chat with some people seemingly feels and act timid and cowardly, and they confide saying that wrong and insulting words were always spoken to them when they were growing up. A parent or a guardian messed up their self-esteem with negative words and that’s not helping them as they’ve become adults.

Speaking wrong or negative words can be in two ways: the ones you speak to other people and what you say to yourself. Some folks are more cruel to themselves with negative words than they are to other people. They’re careful not to offend others so they try as much as possible to contain their words when dealing with them. But such people are so unkind to themselves, speaking all the wrong things to themselves hence things go wrong all the time in their lives.

So I want to admonish you today to start to speak good and right words over your life and circumstances. Even when you find yourself in situations that you don’t like, you can change those negative circumstances with your words. Speak what you want. Boldly declare and affirmation the right words over your life and before long your circumstances will become consistent with your words.

The question I want to leave you with is how are your words? Do they give life or death? Pause and think about it and make changes where you need to.

Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 MSG

DAILY EXERCISE:SPEND TIME EACH DAY SPEAKING POSITIVE, GOOD AND KIND WORDS OVER YOUR LIFE, CAREER, FINANCES, BUSINESS, MINISTRY, FAMILY, CHILDREN, SPOUSE ETC., AND WATCH AND SEE HOW THINGS WILL BE BETTER AND DIFFERENT FROM NOW ON.
