“The Tongue In Your Mouth”
Tuesday, September 16, 2025Key Verse
“For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.” Micah 6:12
Text —Micah 6:11-13
Message
Can you feel the tongue in your mouth? Have you paused and taken time to listen to every word that it speaks? Are you in control of what it says and what it eats Does it speak truthful and honest word? Or does it speak lying and deceitful word? What your tongue says will either bring God’s blessing or punishment on you. Our Bible passage condemned both the rich and the poor, children and adults in Israel. Where people are violent, lying and being deceitful, God is not happy and therefore pronounces judgment on them. Serious punishment was pronounced on the inhabitants of Israel for the wickedness of the tongues in their mouths.
What do you tell others; truth or lies? Do not allow fear of punishment or love of the praise from people make you tell lies. You may receive the temporary reward for deceit and lying, but remember all liars will burn in the lake that burns with brimstone and fire. (Revelation 21:8) Consecrate your tongue to God and He will cleanse it that you will always love to speak the truth.
