STEER YOUR LIFE IN GOD’S DESTINY FOR YOU

STEER YOUR LIFE IN GOD’S DESTINY FOR YOU

1“Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!” (James 3:4-5)

A rudder is a small piece of wood or metal used by the captain of a ship to set it on course to his desired direction. The Apostle James in our opening scripture likened the tongue to the rudder of a great ship. Though so little, the tongue can accomplish anything–good or bad: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21). The life you have today is as a result of your tongue-work; that is, everything you’ve been saying. Your words direct the course of your destiny, positively or otherwise.

This is the reason you shouldn’t talk poverty, defeat, sickness or death; rather, talk prosperity, victory, success, and health, and that’s what you’ll have in your life.

Steer “your ship” – your life – in the direction of God’s destiny for you with your tongue today. Make a choice to speak the right words of faith about yourself, and you’ll have a glorious and successful life.
