Scripture Readings: Gen. 11:1-5, Matt. 12:36 & Phil. 4:8.
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 NIV

Language is a system of communication used by a specific country or community that enables easy interactions amongst them making them special. Language is very essential in communication and effective communication leads to a stronger relationship, therefore ones ability to speak his/her father's language binds them together in doing many things. It brings oneness that leads to achieving set goals to ensure development as was in the case of the people of Babel in Genesis 11:1-5.
The language of God must be the language of Christians. Its the the language christians must speak, it suppose to be one common thing among Christians. We can't move forward if we don't speak the language our father in heaven, the only way forward is to speak the language of our father. If we dont speak the language of God, it means we are going astray. The language of God is the righteous, love and togetherness.
Our father is God and His language is truthfulness, encouraging, love and positiveness. Do you speak the language of your father? Lying has become the daily bread of many Christians forgetting that they'll give account of every word (unwholesome) that emanates from their mouth (Matthew 12:36). Others tend to speak discouraging words instead of encouraging words. Some speak hatred and negative language instead of love and positive language of their father. We can't forge ahead if we fail to speak God's language. Speaking our father's language stems from the mind, therefore we should be mindful of what we feed our minds with as described by Philippians 4:8. Let's all speak the language of God; truth, passion, encouraging, humbleness and togetherness.
