Speak The Word
Proverbs 18:21; 1 Peter 3:10

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers". The believer's mouth is a fountain of life and grace. Our mouth ought to communicate the grace and glory of God. Our opening verse reveals this truth in its purest form. The Word admonishes us to let no corrupt communication proceed out of our mouth. What is corrupt communication? Any speech that is not consistent with the Word or nature of God is corrupt. This means we are meant to only speak the word because anything that is apart or estranged from the Word is corrupt. Again, our opening verse reveals that we are responsible for whatever we say. It says, "let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth......"" meaning it's my responsibility whatever I say. If I let corrupt communication out of my mouth, I shouldn't say the devil did that. I should just own up to it and repent as fast as I can. Beloved, you are responsible for your mouth and whatever comes out of it. Take responsibility now; the earlier, the better for you. Refuse to blame the devil or other people for the loose things you say. Make yourself accountable to God for every word that comes out of your mouth. Nonetheless, there's another revelation and instruction in our opening verse. It says to only speak words which are good to the use of edifying that can minister grace, not disgrace, to the hearers. Beloved, you can order your conversation or speech in such a way that you can bless and lift those who hear you, that is, you are not only responsible for what you say but how you say it. Beloved, let your words begin to bless, heal, edify, lift and encourage from today. Make your words count as you learn to speak the Word of God continually.
