The Power Of The Tongue Is Overrated by ksaylor(m): 7:40pm On Jul 08, 2017
I boarded a public transport recently heading towards Ikeja when at one point the following conversation took place between the driver and an elderly female passenger.

Driver: I can't stop there because I go pay 30, 000 naira.

Female passenger: Try na because where you'll stop me will be far for me.

Driver:You want me to pay 30, 000 naira, you're not a good woman!

Female passenger: it is you that is not a good man, to your family.You'll open your mouth and be saying bad thing.

And this got me thinking, what's going on here? Is it because a stranger said 'you're not a good woman' that the lady went all spiritual base on the bible's teachings on the power of the tongue?
I'm not here to express my knowledge of the bible or counter its teachings however; I feel with the way things have gone in Nigeria in relation to religion we have abused the teachings of the bible.

I totally agree that the tongue holds so great a power that creates positivity and can also bring about negativity but I have my reservations about its potency when it comes to certain situations. I do not believe that someone else's proclamations can influence our own belief or actions or outcomes in life since where the power of the tongue lies is when the mind or sub-conscious has agreed with it. In essence, you must believe in what you proclaim for it to begin to when manifest in little ways...read more here https://themindsplay..com.ng/2017/06/the-power-of-tongue-is-overrated.html
