DON’T KILL WITH YOUR TONGUE
MAIN TEXT: Proverbs 25:23 – Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
James 1:26 – If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
To backbite is to gossip about someone behind his or her back. Secret slander is the essence of backbiting, and it is strongly condemned in the Bible.
This is one of the most wicked and ungodly evils to be found in this evil world. Yet, despite this, most people have a shamefully poor understanding of how evil backbiting actually is, even though the Scriptures are very clear on this point.
Do you speak ill of people when speaking to others? Do you say things that could harm them personally or hurt their testimony? Are the things that you say needful or unnecessary?
BACKBITING IS THE DEVIL’S MINISTRY
PRAYER: Lord God, give me wisdom to speak about others and deliver my tongue from this satanic activities in Jesus name Amen
