MFM Daily Devotional 2 August 2024 MESSAGE
Let us consider the description of the tongue according to James 3:6: “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.”
The Bible says that the tongue is a world of iniquity that defiles the whole body. It means that as small as it is, it can put the whole body in bondage. The tongue is an unruly evil. It is used to bless God and to curse men, and it is full of deadly poison. It is capable of good conversation as well as bitter strife. Although it is a small member of the body, the Bible says it can ignite a big flame.

The tongue has destroyed many things including lives, families, nations, etc. The power of the tongue is not ordinary as we saw in our devotional yesterday. So, it is important to tame the tongue or put it under control. And the Bible says if you cannot control your tongue, you will not be able to control other parts of your body. Therefore, it is paramount that we bridle our tongue if it is already out of control and putting us in trouble. There are steps to taming the tongue: 1.
You must be genuinely born again. 2. You must be determined to be delivered from an unbridled tongue. 3. You must subject your tongue to the control of the Holy Spirit. 4. You must read and study the word of God. 5. You must become a prayer addict. 6. You must keep the company of good Christians. 7. You must engage in witnessing.
A bridled tongue is a sign of spiritual growth. Proverbs 13: 3 says, “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life, but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.”
