The Stick Your Tongue Out Challenge

As we venture into the third month of the year, is imperative that we acknowledge the power in our tongues and utilize it’s potency accordingly.

As a primary school pupil, we were thought about the five senses in the human body namely; eyes (sight), ears (hearing), nose (smell), skin (touch) and tongue (taste).
From that young age, I was of the viewpoint that the tongue was the least most important sense organ because one could actually do without tasting stuff whereas we needed our eyes to see, ears to hear, skin to feel and nose to smell.

Growing up has somewhat turned that thought process on its head. I have come to understand the capacity, authority, influence, potency and Dominion embedded in that piece of flesh called the tongue.

The tongue births words and with words, Heaven and Earth were created.
With words, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 which led to the World War II.
With words, Barack Obama metamorphosised from a young man with African roots to the first black President of the United States.
With words, Martin Luther King Jr fought for the rights and freedom of blacks in America and around the World.
With words, marriages have been ruined and families divided forever.

The tongue has caused more havoc in history than the eyes, ears, nose and skin combined.

The Bible says in Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue….”. It’s evidence that the tongue is a lethal weapon, even more important in the course of one’s life and destiny than any other organ in the body.

It’s high time we desist from using our tongues to our own detriment. Proverbs 13:3 says ” Those who guard their tongue preserves their lives”. Guard your tongue from callous declarations this month henceforth.

Don’t declare negativity around your life with your own words. Never say you are broke or sick. Never speak till of people or your loved ones. Never say negative things about your country or place of work. Never curse your child because of an unruly act. Never say things to your spouse that would make them feel unwanted or unvalued.

Instead, utilize your tongue dutifully and not detrimentally.
