Dear brothers and sisters,
Loving greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Today let us see about the importance of speaking very
politely, using all good and gentle words with all human beings
along with our good works, as we live on this world. In the world
nowadays, many people who are really working hard are not having
a good reward for their work because they are not having the gift
of speech. And they are not even bothered to develop their speaking
skills because they trust mainly on their hard work only. But
the bible the word of God advises us to have the fruit of the
lips to have our hands reward. This is also a fact that by our
observation we can learn that the people who are speaking nicely
are not often working very hard in life. Many of those who work
very hard are having a very short temperament and they will get
easily angry with those who are not working hard like them. On
the other hand there are many people who speak very convincingly
with sweet, loving and persuasive words but they won’t work
hard in their life. The bible teaches the importance of both in
the life of a believer so that he can be used to build the kingdom
of God and get his reward on this earth for all his hard work.
Apostle James says if we cannot control our own tongue our religion
is a waste as in James 1:26, “If anyone thinks himself to
be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives
his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.” Also he
says it is a fire and it can burn the whole life as in James 3:5
& 6, “So also the tongue is a small part of the body,
and yet it boasts of great things. Behold, how great a forest
is set aflame by such a small fire! Vs.6, And the tongue is a
fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our
members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire
the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.”
The bible says the pleasant words are like honeycomb and it will
heal many as in Prov 16:24, ‘Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” We should not
speak any think without thinking in a haste as in Prov 29:20,
“Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more
hope for a fool than for him.” The one, who is controlling
himself well, can speak gentle words and the bible says it will
turn away the wrath of the people as in Prov 15:1, ‘A gentle
answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.”
When we use the right word in the right time it will be very valuable
to all, as in Prov 25:11, ‘Like apples of gold in settings
of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances.”
May the lord help each one of us to have a well-controlled temperament
to speak good and sensible words in the right time to gain good
fruits of our lips so that it can go along with our hard work
and bring prosperity in life. Amen.
