PROVERBS 18:20-21
Elijah
decreed that the heavens should withhold rain. God sent him to Cherith. But
after a while, the brook dried up, and he began to dry up for lack of water.
This means that Elijah was the cause of his problem. Thank God for His mercies
or else his situation would have degenerated to a dangerous dimension. This
simply teaches believers to be very careful with what they say, especially
concerning themselves and their loved ones.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21)
One time Satan is very near you is the time of trouble. After causing the havoc, he will want to see your reaction and like earthly policemen do, whatever you say in that instant would be used against you. If you make a negative statement, he will record it and use it as evidence against you in the Court of Heaven. Beloved, cultivate the habit of being very slow to speak, when something negative occurs, except you are calling Jesus into the situation. Our reading says it is the fruit of your lips that that feeds your belly. This means your whole body will be held responsible and be made to suffer for the negative statements made by your lips. It also means your whole body will enjoy the good pronouncement made by your lips. How do you use your lips today? What do you say in moments of affliction?
Some believers have gone for deliverance over and over again. When the problem leaves, before long it resurfaces. This is simply because they keep using their tongues to call it back. Are you the cause of your woes? If you keep calling your children goat, dog, fool etc… at slightest provocation, why are you now crying seeing them going nuts and wearing crazy hairdos, as well as prostitution? You are only filling your belly with the fruit of your lips. Some people find the word ‘kids’ more convenient to use than ‘children’. They may ask you, ‘How are your kids?’ Tell them, my children are fine. If you accept that you have kids, do not be surprised when they begin to behave like goats. Stop using your mouth against yourself. Repent. Break and cancel every negative use of your tongue today.

MEMORIZE:
PROVERBS 13:23 –He that keeps his mouth keeps his life; but he that opens wide
his lips shall have destruction.
