Healing Words




There’s always a point in our lives when we are confronted with the situation of having to meet someone who may be the ONLY one that can help you with something that’s really important. It’s actually more frightening when that person has a really sour reputation or is very aggressive.

That’s when our choice of words becomes very critical to unlocking such ‘doors’ to our needs. Even when a friend is sick or down, there are words which have a healing effect on such a person.

Through the words you speak overtime, one can determine your personality and know what kind of things you’re interested in. Your vocabulary also has a way of affecting your mood and others too e.g. a person who uses too much vulgar words is usually hot tempered.
The Bible admonishes us to be of good cheer. We are to be fountains of living water, adopting good words and watching what we let in and out of our systems/lives. 
We cannot bless and curse, heal and destroy nor give life and death at the same time with our lips. Our words actually have the power to cause death and to give life/blessings. This is another important reason to guard our heart and lips. The words we speak over the life of a person or are spoken over us have impacts too. This is why such things as generational curses exist.
As God’s people, let’s learn to bless lives, save souls, uplift one another and heal people with our words… our healing words!

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

Image
“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
