BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 10, 1 Kings 11, 1 Kings 12, Revelation 13, Revelation 14.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: James 3:1-10 (KJV)
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
MEMORY VERSE: For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. – 1 Peter 3:12 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: If you cannot control your tongue, you will not be able to control your life.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Your tongue shall not put you into trouble, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
God gave us the tongue for many uses; to taste, eat, and talk. The presence of this muscle-like structure in the mouth region is of great importance, both physically and spiritually. None of our body organs was created in error. No matter the size, every organ has its own use and cannot be replaced by another. A misuse of any organ, therefore, amounts to abuse, worse still, a sin. The tongue is small but powerful; it can kill or make alive. It is the vehicle through which our thoughts are translated into words.

Unfortunately, many humans misuse their tongues by talking carelessly, speaking toxic words that sting, and damaging the reputation of others. Whenever a child of God involves in gossip, backbiting, slander, tale bearing, and evil utterances, there is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently. Such words neither glorify God nor edify men.
When you speak without control, it is an indication of your heart’s condition (Matthew 12:34). Check your heart. Make sure your thoughts are clean and pure according to Philippians 4:8. When you harbour strange and ungodly imaginations in your heart, you are likely to talk and behave in a disorderly manner.
Beloved, the Word of God counsels you to put your entire body, including your tongue, under control. Your words are a product of your thoughts. Therefore, when you discipline your mind, you end up disciplining your tongue. You cannot claim to be a child of God and yet, speak without wisdom and understanding. There is a need to pray for the divine healing of your mind and tongue, so that your words become healthy, wholesome and edifying.
When you talk carelessly, it affects not only you but also your relationships. People tend to avoid you because they don’t want to be hurt or offended by your words. Apart from this negative effect of your words on people, they are also offensive to God. If you’re guilty of this, please desire and determine to make a change. Pray that your life will manifest the fruit of temperance.
