Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.. ’

DAILY READING – Matthew 21:28-46; Numbers 19-20; Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:14

In 1940, Hitler, came very close to winning World War 2.
His army had overrun Poland, occupied Norway and defeated and humiliated France, a major super power. It seemed only a matter of time before Hitler would dominate all of Europe. The Americans had not yet joined the war and
Great Britain stood alone in defying Hitler.
Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister chose to rather fight than surrender. It was a very dangerous decision because Britain did not have the weapons to stand against Germany’s military forces, which had already conquered most of Western Europe in less than two months.
Many people in Britain became demoralized, feeling it was only a matter of time, before Hitler also conquered their nation. Churchill was acutely aware Britain’s fate lay in his ability to rouse the despairing nation.
Churchill then began to apply the power of words to inspire and mobilize the British people. He gave a number of speeches aimed at building up the morale of the population and the armed forces.
Churchill became the world’s most important symbolic figure of resistance against Nazi Germany. Whenever he appeared in public, the crowds would raise their hands in the victory symbol. His courage in the face of Hitler’s tyranny soon began to inspire the British people.
In his most famous speech on 18 June 1940, when the Battle of Britain was about to begin, he told his people that upon this battle depended the survival of Christian civilization and their own survival.
Inspired by his speech the British air force was able to hold off Hitler’s attacks.
Having succeded to inspire his people to fight, Churchill then rallied other countries to form an alliance that would later defeat Hitler.
As America finally joined the war, soon came the end of Hitler’s third Reich. As he lost the war, Hitler committed suicide and Germany surrendered totally.
Though Hitler seemed to have had all the military weaponry to crush Britain, yet
Churchill applied the weapon of words to defeat him.
His heroic speeches helped to change the course of not only the British history but also world history.

Truly words are powerful. When Britain could easily have been defeated, Winston Churchill’s words spurred them to victory..
It’s indeed amazing what words can achieve.

Proverbs 18:4 says, “A person’s words can be life-giving water.””

Our words can impart life, inspire people and lift them up to experience victory.
On the other hand, destructive words can cause deep wounds, that can destroy someone’s morale and make them become defeated in life..
The tongue may be small but it controls great matters.
(James 3:4-6).

This is why it’s important to speak God’s blessing over our family and children.
Through speaking right words you can change the atmosphere in your home and break the chains holding your loved ones back.
It’s important to note that we can also encourage ourselves by speaking right words. Throughout the day, say things such as, “I have the favor of God. I am strong and healthy. I’m well able to do what I need to do.”

James 3:3–12, tells how our tongues can express great good or cause great harm. However the problem is not with the tongue but with the source, which is the heart, because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. What is in your heart is what will overflow and out flow through the tongue. Where the mind goes, the mouth follows! So if you can control what is in your heart you can also control what comes out of your mouth.

When the Word of God dominates our hearts, The Word also will dominate our mouths and our tongues. This is what causes us to speak right words that brings blessings and healing to people.
In every communication, we have a choice to become a blessing by
speaking kind, and encouraging words to uplift people.
Because words are seeds, the words we sow we will also eventually reap..

Today, as we chose to speak blessings and healings to others, certainly, God will also cause us to reap blessings and miracles and all round victory in all our endeavors..

PRAYER: Father I receive grace now to always speak right words. Help me to continually fill my heart with Your Word, to enable me to speak words of blessings and healings that will positively impact the lives of people in Jesus Name. .
