It is
amazing the difference that we can make in the lives of people around us when
we speak positive things into their lives.
If we will examine the words we use in the conversations we have each,
it might be shocking. Many people are
soaked in negativity and spewing poison via the words that we use.
The
words we share with others can be full of blessing or of cursing. They can be a gift or something that harms
others. We can build up or tear down
with the words we use. As Christians we
should be known for using words that build up, words that bless and words that
are a gift to those we share them with.
I
believe that God has called me to speak into the lives of the people that I
come into contact with. The positive
words, the truth and God’s promise make our lives richer, fuller and
stronger. By helping people find their
potential they will begin to live the lives that John 10:10 talks about. God destined us for abundance.
How do
we speak to people about their potential?
Here are some notes from God:
Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not
the kind of wisdom that belongs
to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten.
Wisdom
is a great place to start as we speak to others. God’s wisdom is far different from what we
gain from the culture around us.
Ephesians 4:15 NLT
Instead, we will speak the truth in love,
growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body,
the church.
Speaking
the truth in love us a calling, and speaking the truth In love makes a big
difference in our lives and to those we speak to.
John 14:10 NLT
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the
Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father
who lives in me does his work through me.
Potential
is often simply what God says about us.
We are forgiven and children of God.
We are destined for greatness.
We’ve been given victory and hope for the future. By speaking this truth into the lives of
people lives change!
Proverbs 10:32 NLT
The lips of the godly speak helpful words,
but the mouth of the wicked speaks
perverse words.
These
words are helpful. Check your words.
Romans 15:2 NLT
We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.
Helping
people discover their potential is what Jesus did when He was on earth. He accepted people that no one else accept
and spent time with those who were outcasts.
He healed lives and opened up situations where people found victory.
Help
the people you come in contact with find their God given potential.
