18 Reckless words pierce like a sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

COMMAND

WARNING
7 Wicked men are overthrown and are no more,
but the house of the righteous stands firm.

22 The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in men who are truthful.

APPLICATION


1. Starting tomorrow, I will mingle, laugh, eat, cry and have fellowship openly with my leaders and pastors.  I will accept, welcome and acknowledge their opinions, corrections and will take it as help for me to learn and grow in the ministry.

2.  Starting tomorrow, I will be more open and honest to myself to to others especially to my leaders and pastors.  I will seek their advice and will treat it as a help and I will open up and voice out if I am not comfortable with the ideas or suggestions.

3.  Starting tomorrow, I will stop proving myself to them but rather will start approving that they are God-appointed leaders that God sent to me for the fulfillment of my calling.
