POLITE WORDS

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Colossians 4:6 KJV

In love and relationships, words are so powerful because they determine the healthy or unhealthy state of the relationship. Words or communication is the life or the blood of every level of relationship. God is so interested is us as an individual to have healthy relationship with the people surround us. 

Either it's a platonic or romantic relationship, God is so concerned about the nature or kind of words we use to asking question and in answering question. 

As believers, the prove of your personal relationship with the Lord is in how good you are in relating with the people around you.

Anger is not an excuse. Like our text for this post, the bibles stated that LET YOUR WORDS BE ALWAYS WITH GRACE. My brothers and sisters, how gracious are you words? Is it only gracious when you are happy and abusive when you are angry or being offended? 

Irrespective of anybody attitude might be, the bible stated that it's your responsibility to know how to answer every man. That is to say, it's your duty to know the wisdom of the kind of words you chose to relate.

Are you careful in the kind of word you select in relating with people? Are your words seasoned with salt (respect). The salt here is respect. How respectful are your words to those above and below you?

This is your day of change. God is interested how polite you are to those that celebrate you and those that treat you bad. 

I have given you God's word; yours is to obey. No body is too small, too bad or too annoying to deserve rude and abusive words from you.

God is love and love is Christ in you. 

Jesus is your living Hope. 

Shalom!

The Power of Communication in Building a Purposeful Relationship

Dear friend, the strength of any relationship lies in its foundation of effective communication. Without it, misunderstandings arise, assumptions take root, and frustrations build. Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” Agreement comes through understanding, and understanding is achieved when both parties communicate openly and honestly about their values, priorities, and needs. A relationship cannot thrive if silence, guesswork, or avoidance replace meaningful conversations. Your dating relationship is a time to discover the person you’re with and assess compatibility. This goes beyond surface-level interests; it requires delving into each other’s purpose and calling. Proverbs 4:7 teaches, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Understanding your partner's direction in life allows you to align your steps intentionally. Communication is not just about talking; it’s about listening, empat...

ARE YOU READY FOR PREMARITAL RELATIONSHIP?

In every premarital relationship, one of the clearest signs that you are emotionally and spiritually ready is your ability to take responsibility for your actions. Self-responsibility is not just a sign of maturity; it is proof that you are willing to grow, learn, and protect what matters to you. As a youth preparing for a future in marriage, this is not the time to always look for who to blame or pretend you're always right. This is the time to develop character and humility. When you constantly shift blame to your partner or become defensive each time correction or misunderstanding arises, you are indirectly saying, “I am not ready for commitment.” Love may bring two people together, but maturity keeps them growing together. A relationship where no one takes responsibility becomes toxic, exhausting, and frustrating. Can you imagine trying to build something meaningful with someone who never admits their wrong? That’s not love. That’s pride in disguise. Many young people think lov...

How to Stop Settling for Less in Dating Relationship - Part 6 (Final Part)

In the world of relationships, it’s easy to focus on whether we’re settling for less, but what about the other side of the coin? As Christian youths, we must also consider whether we’re unintentionally causing someone else to settle for less by dating us. Relationships are meant to be mutual, uplifting, and Christ-centered. If we’re not careful, our actions, words, or even our approach to dating could cause someone else to compromise their values or settle for something less than God’s best. Here’s how you can avoid putting someone in that position. First, it’s important to be honest with yourself about your intentions. Before you enter into a relationship, ask yourself why you want to date this person. Are you genuinely interested in them, or are you just trying to fill a void, combat loneliness, or conform to societal pressure? If your motivations aren’t pure, you might end up leading someone on, making them believe the relationship has more potential than it actually does. Pray for ...
