LESSON OUTLINE ONE: YOUR TONGUE CAN MAKE OR MAR

The tongue can make or mar (i.e. spoil) according to our memory verse. Verbal attacks by itself cannot break bones, however speeches can inspire positively or negatively. Therefore, the tongue can do the following;

It can build up and it can tear apart – Proverbs 10:19, 20;15:1-4; James 3:5-8.
It can restore and destroy – II Kings 2:19-22, 23-25.
It can bring love and also bring hatred – Exodus 4:22; Deut. 9:14.
It can start your journey to greatness and can end it – Exo. 3:3; Deut. 32:50-52.

LESSON OUTLINE TWO: HOW TO CONTROL YOUR TONGUE?

Dedicate your heart, mind and tongue to the Lord – Heb. 13:5; Luke 6:45.
Be conscious of the words that come out of your mouth.
Be intentional about your speeches – Psalms 19:14.
Control your mood; never allow the devil hijack your thought.
Give up any act of complaining.
Speak words that encourage, comfort, edify and inspire – Eph. 4:29.
Learn to take responsibility for every word you speak – Matt. 12:36.
Meditate on positive things and God’s word – Joshua 1:8; Psalms 119:11

Activity:

Kindly allow members to pray for divine sanctification of their tongues.

SUMMARY:

To get going in positive path in life, your tongue must be sanctified.

CONCLUSION: RCCG HOUSE FELLOWSHIP LEADERS MANUAL 10 SEPTEMBER 2023

Word unleashed from an unregenerated tongue or heart is destructive.
