James 3:4-5 gives insight into the power of the tongue comparing it to the small rudder, a steering device that changes the direction of a ship. It says, "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. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth". This means your mouth is your campus in life. Your words are like the rudder pushing your life in a certain direction whether good or bad. Don't take words lightly. They are a spiritual steering tool of your life. Your present day is a harvest of the seeds of your words in yester years. Our theme scripture Isaiah 33:24 shows us the importance of our words as regards to our health. He says, those who dwell in Zion shall not say "I am sick". In the New Testament, Zion refers to the church of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:22-24). As a child of God you are presently in spiritual Zion, the Church of Jesus Christ. Therefore don't say you are sick.

Two important things to note from Isaiah 33:24: Firstly, this signifies that sickness is not God's plan for you. Secondly, it gives you special insight on how to walk in the blessing of healing and health. The secret is in your mouth! He says you shall not say, "I am sick". If you talk sickness you will experience sickness in your life. Proverbs 15:4 says, "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit". The word "wholesome" is translated from a Hebrew word marpê' which means healing. Always speak in agreement with what the Lord has said concerning you. This means you must learn the word of God because that is what forms the substance of your wholesome words.
