And now I
commend you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend
you] to the word of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited
favor]. His grace is able to build you up and to give you the [rightful]
inheritance among all those who are sanctified [that is, among those who are
set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]. Acts 20:32 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Now I’m turning
you over to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what
he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this
community of holy friends. Acts 20:32 The Message (MSG)
Take conscious deliberate steps to ALWAYS be a
blessing to humanity through the words you speak or write. This is because words
whether spoken or written are powerful and make huge impacts on people. If your
words impact people positively, then you are a city set on a hill which cannot
be hidden.
The Bible describes pleasant words as health to the
bones because pleasant words are like a honeycomb which brings sweetness to the
soul. Please see Proverbs Chapter 16 verse 24. You can be used greatly of God
to bring healing to the world by and with words you speak. Please read 1st
Corinthians Chapter 12 verse 9, Proverbs Chapters 15 verses 30, 2, 7 and 12
verse 18, Revelation Chapter 22 verses 1 to 2, Ezekiel Chapter 47 verses 1 to
2.
Words which bring comfort, peace, edification,
exhortation and encouragement have the capacity to bring healing to wounded
hearts and hurting people. Please read Romans Chapter 10 verse 15, Isaiah
Chapters 52 verses 7 to 9, 50 verses 4 to 5, and 61 verses 1 to 4; Luke Chapter
4 verses 17 to 19. Proclaim good news, good tidings, such as the word of God
and the attendant benefits of the word of God so that the hearts of people who
hear you will be guided by the word of God. Additionally, considering that the
word of God has the capacity to build people up and give them an inheritance among the saints, you would have raised an army, a very great one for God
through your utterances and writings. Acts Chapter 20 verse 32, Isaiah Chapters
52 verses 7 to 9.
Therefore, speak to the strengths of people. When you
speak to the strengths of people especially by the Spirit of God, you inspire
them to be who God created them be. This is because they are stirred up
spiritually, mentally and physically to achieve. They also get to believe in
God and themselves and their self esteem is heightened to be the best God
created them to be. Gideon is a classic biblical example. Referred to as the
mighty man of valor whom God was with; Gideon with the help of the Holy Spirit progressively
became a warlord who defeated the Midianites and ended their oppression of
Israel.
Beloved, speaking to the strengths of people
releases the innate potentials of God in them to succeed, prosper and soar.
Utterances and write-ups which transform people positively are lively embers
which keep burning for generations. Therefore, let your every utterance and
write-up be tailored to enhancing the quality of lives of people; bringing
healing, joy and transformation. Please read Matthew Chapter 5 verses 13 to 16.
Your words should be salt to season the lives of people; especially those whose
lives are bland. Your words acting as salt will take away the blandness which
makes them undesirable and unacceptable to people who would have loved to
partner with them if they had any spice in their lives. Blandness in the lives
of people can constitute major obstacles and barriers to success.
But as you celebrate them with words taught by the Holy
Spirit, (Ephesians Chapter 4 verses 29 to 32 – speak words which build people
up, for instance, the words spoken to Mary and Gideon; and you also speak with
wisdom - Proverbs Chapter 12 verse 18 and present good reports to people - Proverbs
Chapters 15 verses 30; Proverbs Chapters 25 verse 15, 1st Samuel
Chapter 25 verses 24 to 28); they receive grace to prosper. However, always remember
to give God His place in the lives of the people you speak to so that God alone
Who knows how to deal with their weaknesses and strengths will perfect them to
His glory and not yours.
