When the trash collectors come to get your trash at home, you just know. I mean from the main gate you can already perceive the foul smell coming from their truck. You just begin to hold your breath even before their arrival or cover your nose.
But this is about the same kind of reaction many Christians get these days. Why? Because of the kind of words they speak. Not godly words, but filthy communication, cursing and chronic gossiping. I mean some people who profess to be children of God can't help but gossip. They always have gist concerning sister so and so. Their conversations always goes thus: 'oh did you hear that sister so and so is now hanging out with that brother that took solo last week', or 'did you see the shoe that brother kiniko kiniko wore on Sunday? Like seriously, who wears those kind of shoes?', 'what's wrong with that sister sef, she sha likes showing herself, eh! Bro? you saw Will of God to that sister? Abeg pray again! Didn't you hear that that sister has aborted severally?', 'have you noticed that sister is always taking solo? Its not funny, she doesn't even sing as good as I do'.... and the list goes on. People now find it unbearable staying around you without being conscious of what they're putting on or what you know about them. Its really bad!
Let's learn to speak words of life to ourselves and even to others. Let our words reflect that we've being in God's presence and as a result speak words of comfort. Let it not be that when you're almost at a place, people say 'here she/he comes again' with lots of whispering. If it has become a habit, please revisit Calvary; you need a second touch. We were created to be the salt of the earth so let our conversation be void of offence before God and men; seasoned with salt. Please let's make amends. Let's ask the Lord to bridle our tongues. Enjoy the weekend and remain Blessed!!!
