Topic: OPEN SEPULCHRE
Text: Romans 3:13-18 KJV
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
A sepulchre is a tomb or grave, so an open sepulchre is an open tomb or open grave. The tongue is a minute part of the body but very powerful that it can set the whole course of nature on fire. It is so powerful that the scripture says death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21).
From our text today, the book of Romans talked about people whose mouth and lips are open grave, open grave because it is ready to bury souls in itself without limit (can’t get filled up), they are full of deceit and their lips are poisonous full of cursing and swearing. People with such lips are dangerous, they rain curses on the slightest provocation upon anyone, with their curses they can terminate destinies of people even their children or family just because they were offended, mercy is often not in their diary but rather judgement, they spread rumours to spoil other people’s image, they gossip evil about others, they are full of lies to get what they wanted, they can deny the truth on spot to save their own head and finish others, they say what they do not see and what they do not hear (bear false witness).
Dearly beloved, don’t think too far, you might not be cursing but you swear and lie occasionally to save your self, your lip is an open sepulchre or do you gossip and spread rumours? Your lips is an open sepulchre. Beloved, desist from this ungodly act, ask God to forgive you and renew your mind constantly with the word of God (Romans 12:2). Also be careful and avoid people with such mouth of death and deceit around you. God bless you
PRAYER:
Father, my tongue will not be an open grave that destroys destiny in Jesus Name
