EVERY WORD SPOKEN

Abundance of Good Treasure

Mat 12:33-37  

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 

     The written Word of God is piercing and is capable of dividing soul and the spirit (Heb 4:12).  The living Word of God is the incarnated Christ who came down from the heaven and dwelt among us (John 1:14). The Lord who is the Truth  (John 14:6) says unto us is in complete confirmation that  man shall give an account for every idle word spoken.  'Idle' in Greek language means 'non-working'.  These non-working, unfruitful, unedifying words spoken has the power to condemn the speaker.  This condemnation will occur in the day of judgement.  The written Word confirms us today that the Living Word of God will sit upon the judgement seat and all men will render Him an account in the day of judgement. Mat 12:37 says, 'for by your word you shall be justified and by your words you shall be condemned.'  The Lords intention for men is for them to be justified in the first place and not condemned (2 Peter 3:9). So Let us watch and restrict our vain words and gossip and speak edifying, encouraging and life building words.  

     For escaping vain speaking, we need to have GOOD TREASURES in our hearts.  For out of the abundance of heart, the mouth speaks (Mat 12:34).  So, here we come to the crux of this message that is to have an ABUNDANCE of good things in our heart, which is the good treasure and not just an outward practicing of speaking or not speaking which we will fail eventually if we don't have the abundance of good things in our heart.  

     Our words will determine our destiny.  Our words will expose what is abundant in our hearts.  On one hand we speak and on the other we hear others speak.  When we hear others speak, we will know the abundance of their hearts.  When we speak, what words that comes out of our mouths is what we are inside. When I hear myself speaking naturally the things of God, it is an encouragement that I have something good in me.  This good is the good treasure that is God Himself who is living in us.  Amen.


When Christ lives in me, He is the good treasure that is in me.  Then out of the abundance of Christ in my heart, I will speak forth good things.  This good speaking justifies me and gives life to others.

Prayer:  Lord Jesus, after the Resurrection and the Ascension, You have become a life giving Spirit in the believers who have received You.  Today I pray believing that You are in me, to grow in me.  Lord Jesus, when You grow in me, Your measure in me will increase and when I speak, I will speak forth You.  Lord, You are life, When You grow in me, You life increases in me and there will be an outflow of good things from my life.  Lord, Thank You for these words.  Thank You for the good treasure.  Hallelujah, Amen.
