Be Alert and Of Sober Mind
If you give the devil a chance to have a foothold in your life, I tell you that he won’t spare you. That’s why we’re warned in the scripture not to give him that chance (see Ephesians 4:27).
Don’t Entertain Ungodly Thoughts
As a believer, you must understand that we live in an evil age. So, the things you will see when you step out from your home or outside the brethren are most likely to be evil. Sp guard the purity of your mind by submitting it to the teachings of the Word.
Find and Listen to Gracious Words
You must guard the windows of your life, that is, your eyes and ears, with all diligence. What you keep seeing and hearing will affect how you think, and that will eventually influence how you live.
Pay Attention to the Words of a Wise Man
Of a truth, the words of a wise person don’t have noise attached to them. And because of that, it doesn’t sound so loud to the human inclination. The one who pays attention to their words will end up grasping the wisdom in it.
Calm Down and Speak
According to the wisest man who ever lived on the surface of this Earth, people who have knowledge spare his words. Furthermore, a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.
Let Someone Else Praise You
Let another man praise you for what you have or do, and not yourself. Be so focused on fulfilling your divine mandate that you’ll care less about your possessions. And the faithful God will never cease unleashing you to higher realms of glory.
How To Keep Your Whole Body In Check
God encourages us to get wisdom (see Proverbs 4:7). Because He knows when divine wisdom is available in the mind of His children, they’ll live unto Him and keep their tongues in check, which will, in turn, help keep their whole body in check.
A Man of Understanding Holds His Tongue
Despite the faults we keep finding in other people’s lives, speaking evil of them is of no benefit. Instead, we should live wisely with them in a manner that promotes peace, especially by checking the words we speak whenever they show any wrong attitude.
Be Slow To Speak
One thing that determines how people speak is the content of their hearts. Jesus said that “… the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45 NIV). So to become a wise giver of answers, you must fill your heart with godly content, that is, the Word.
Remove The Mountain By Speaking
Don’t wait for God to address your situation spontaneously. He has given you a mouth to speak words without paying anybody. Use your mouth to pray. Remove the mountain by speaking words of faith.
Use Your Tongue Well
If you want to use your tongue well to bless others, you’ve got to check what fills your heart.
A Time to Be Silent
From the beginning, God made life to be in seasons. He made different kinds of light in Genesis 1:14-16 to govern time differences. That is to say that there is time for everything. And until we understand this, we’re likely to misinterpret how we see life due to a lack of discernment of the season we are in right now.
