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 True Essence of Love: Protection and Respect

Hello, lovers! Love is a beautiful and powerful force that binds two people together, creating a deep connection rooted in trust, vulnerability, and mutual respect. However, love comes with responsibilities. One of the most crucial aspects of a healthy, loving relationship is protection. Love culture demands protection—emotional, intellectual, and physical. If you cannot protect the person you love and instead abuse the access you have to their vulnerability, it’s time for a serious self-reflection. Protecting Vulnerability When someone loves you, they open up their heart, sharing their deepest fears, dreams, and insecurities. This level of vulnerability is a precious gift that must be cherished and safeguarded. If you exploit this vulnerability, manipulate their emotions, or demean their intellect, you are not only damaging the relationship but also becoming a toxic presence in their life. Recognizing this behavior is the first step toward change. Repentance and transformation are ess...

Settling for less in a relationship is something many of us have heard about but rarely fully understand. As Christian youths, navigating relationships can be particularly challenging because we want to honor God while also fulfilling our natural desire for companionship. But what does it really mean to settle for less? How do we know when we’re compromising our values or falling short of what God has planned for us? Settling for less in a relationship means accepting someone who doesn’t align with God’s purpose for your life. It’s when you allow fear, loneliness, or the pressure of time to lead you into a relationship that isn’t right for you. It’s when you overlook red flags, ignore the prompting of the Holy Spirit, or compromise your standards, hoping that things will get better with time. But deep down, you know something is off—something is missing.  We all have a God-given purpose, a divine assignment that shapes our lives and decisions. When you settle for less in a relation...
