Are you aware that the ability to
control one’s mouth is a key factor in growing and maintaining a good
life.
Proper worship and a good lifestyle
acceptable to God demands that our words be few always. A wise man listens more, and speaks
less.
On several occasions we consciously
or unconsciously speak filthy and irrelevant words, and with the same mouth we
call on God (in prayers). Practical examples of how we speak filthy words are
when we rain abuses on fellow human especially when driving on the road in this part of the
world and you consciously or unconsciously say filthy words like “you are mad”,
“idiot”, “stupid man/woman”. Sometimes,
we even say these filthy words when driving to our places of prayer.
Contrarily, we now see this as a lifestyle in the land, but it is wise to realize on time that this lifestyle is not godly. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let
every man be swift to hear, slow to speak….”
James 1:19.
Always think before you speak and let your words be few, be
you a priest or the ordinary man/woman in the street, we are all godly men.
May God help us.
