Words

How powerful is our words? Does what we speak changes life? changes situation? Does our words make thing better or worst? Our does it just words that mean nothing? Had a privilege to listen to Pr Paul Ang speak last Saturday and he speaks about words. In the bible it says that life and death lies in the tongue. This means what you speak can bring life or can even bring death. In college, i had a lecturer that always tell us that what we speak is powerful. He gave us an example if you have two apple, you speak good things to one of the apple everyday while the other you condemn it. He says the apple which you condemn will rot faster. How true is it i do not know but according to the bible it reaffirms what my lecturer says. If you speak goodness into your future, then for sure you will reap a harvest of goodness in your future. I had so many experience when i claim something over and over again it actually happens. For example, i always want to experience life and study overseas, well that came to past, i'm leaving for UK next month! Haha. Whoever claims something and do not have doubt in it will truly have what he wishes for. Parents should be aware what they say to the kids because what they say can actually affect what the children turns out to be. Whatever you say could make a situation better or make a situation worst. Many events we can see where just because of one word a person said actually get the whole nation raging. Whatever you say will really affect someone, so becareful what you says. Be wise in choosing your words!
