Greetings to my Brothers and Sisters in Christ ! Thought for today. As we cook, our meals on the stove. The fire is used to transform food from a raw state to a cooked state. In this sense, the fire is serving a good purpose. If one chooses to misuse fire by setting a home on fire, it becomes an element of destruction. Likewise, the tongue that God blessed us with should always be used by God to build and transform lives. We should avoid the temptation to allow the Devil to use our tongues for destruction. For we know that the Devil comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus comes that we may have life and life more abundantly. Who is using your tongue ? Let us live to allow Jesus to use our tongues to glorify our Heavenly Father in every situation. I declare and decree that today my tongue will be used by my Lord and Master alone..... Jesus Christ.

One Small Flame Can Start a Forest Fire
By Elder Kelvin Gilmore

The tongue can yield blessed words that people will admire.
Or words that can tear down and destroy like a forest fire.

We can choose to be a blessing to all that we know
Or with our tongue crush feelings like stepping on snow..

Our tongue is a small member that can do great good or harm.
It can create a beautiful flower garden or start a great storm,

There are many people in church that uses their tongue like a praise instrument.
But at home or on their jobs they use it to hinder dreams and growth development.

Let us allow God to use our tongues like a baker that makes a delicious cake.
Let us no longer allow the Devil to use us to do his evil like a poisonous snake.

Heavenly Father, we yield our tongues to you to be used by you to accomplish your Holy Will for our lives and the lives of others. In Jesus Name. Amen
