SCRIPTURE: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke 21:15
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When God said that he would give you a mouth, it means, he would give you a gift for your life’s triumph.
Our God is the God of purpose and objectivity. He created every organ of our body for specific purposes.
In our study today, we shall explore the function of the mouth.
The question is: what is the function of the mouth?
i. Your mouth is not just a body part; your mouth is a gift from God for your triumph in life.
Luke 21: 15 says,
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
When God said that he would give you a mouth, it means, he would give you a gift for your life’s triumph.
ii. The mouth is not just for eating food; the mouth is also a weapon of war.
The purpose of the mouth is not just for eating food; your mouth is a weapon of war. Luke 21:15 reveals that God gave you mouth that your enemies cannot resist. You use your mouth to fight and stand against the adversaries. Your mouth is a weapon of war.
iii. Your mouth is designed to communicate the wisdom of God.
From Luke 21:15, we also see that God gave you mouth to communicate His Wisdom. God promised you a mouth and wisdom to disarm your adversaries.
Deuteronomy 30:19 says,
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Your mouth or tongue is the tool for the communication of your choices in life. When you are speaking, you are choosing. Whenever you are talking, you are not just making statements; you are making choices.
Make up your mind to use your mouth wisely and effectively for your victory and triumph in life.
Remember this: When God said that he would give you a mouth, it means, he would give you a gift for your life’s triumph.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- See your mouth as God’s gift for your triumph; use your mouth for your victory on earth.
- Use your mouth to communicate the Wisdom, Excellence and Goodness of God to your generation.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You help me to be purposeful and strategic with my words. I receive the grace never to use my mouth for the damnation of myself and others, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
