OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS 4 MARCH 2019 – SEASONED WITH SALT
MEMORISE: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 4:29
Please read: Colossians 4:6
MESSAGE:
Your words define you, Jesus Christ said it is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of him (Matthew 15:1-11).
In other words, the words you speak is a pointer to the kind of heart you have. If you use abusive words, check your heart. If you are always talking about dirty things, check, fornication may have its hands around you. Don’t claim that you only say it but don’t do it.
That is a lie of the devil to deceive you. He will first make a fellow comfortable around where it is being said, then the fellow will start saying it and because it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks, before long, the heart falls and then the body follows.

Your words must carry life in them and since John 14:6 says Jesus is the life, and John 1:1 says He is the Word of God, then you should know that you must always speak the Word of God. One way to know a good Christian is if you hear the word of God in their every conversation. If you study your Bible often, your words will carry the very life of Jesus; they will be seasoned with salt.
REFLECTION:
When people have discussions with you, do they hear the Word of God as you speak?
