To exercise your mouth as an organ of faith is not to deny the situation you may be confronted with, but rather, to superimpose what God’s word says regarding such situations.
No doubt, the mouth is an important organ of our faith! If this organ must be exercised in the realization of our salvation through Christ Jesus, then its importance in our entire walk of faith cannot be underestimated.
God’s intent for man is to be fruitful and multiply, and a productive heart yields the fruit of the Spirit. As we regularly examine ourselves carefully in the mirror of God’s Word, our weaknesses and flaws are exposed to us.

In my walk with the Lord, I have come to realize that just as the organs in our physical body are vital for the sustenance of the life of a human being, so also are there vital organs of our faith that must be properly maintained and exercised for our well-being as children of God.
Christ Jesus raises the bar on His definition of murder, intimating that murder begins in the heart, before it is manifested on the outward. For out of the heart are the issues of life. So we murder someone when we speak maliciously against that person.
As a child of God, we ought to ask ourselves, whether we are demonstrating God’s love and are being an example to the people around whenever we find ourselves in a social gathering. Do people see you as different? Can they see the light of God in you?
A person who is selfishly ambitious projects himself and deploys his unique gift to push his personal agenda in an organisation regardless of the strife it causes or the factions it creates in that organisation.
It is the pile ups of fears, failures and hurts that often erupt into outbursts of rage at the least trigger; and so it is important for us to deal with those events prayerfully.
