With so much negativity around us, it’s easy to speak negative words of complaint and frustration. What words are you speaking? Hopefully pleasant words. In other words, are you looking for good and kind things to say about yourself and others?
Scripture says in the book of Proverbs that, “pleasant words are healing to the body.” Positive, pleasant and powerful words can bring healing physically, spiritually, and emotionally. When you speak words of life and encouragement, it’s like medicine for your healing and the healing of others.
Today and every day, choose your words carefully and intentionally. Speak good uplifting and pleasant words. Resist negativity and complaining, and reap the sweet honey of healing for mind, soul and body that God has prepared for you!
“Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.”
(Proverbs 16:24, AMP)
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank You for Your Word which is sweeter than honey and sets me free. Father, I choose to speak pleasant words of life to others. Teach me how, so I can experience the peaceful life and healing You have promised me. In Christ’s Name! Amen.
Over the last 72 hours many people have become sick, many have been asking God for healing in Jesus’ Name! I came across today’s verse that I found so powerful. Do you need healing in your body physically? spiritually? emotionally? Do you believe you can be healed? Your words can bring that healing. Hallelujah! Start speaking pleasant, powerful, potent words–words of life, encouragement and thanksgiving.
Today, guard your heart by making sure you are only listening to pleasant, life-giving and life transforming words. If there’s something on the TV or radio that isn’t bringing life to your soul, turn it off. If someone’s having a conversation that’s not uplifting or productive, don’t be a part of it, walk away.
Today, choose to meditate with God’s Word, and your words which are living and active and full of life. Speak pleasant, powerful, potent words–words of life. Let God’s strength and peace rise in your soul. Keep your heart and mind focused on Him, and always choose pleasant words so you can be healed!
“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.”
(Proverbs 16:24, AMP)
Pray With Me Jehovah Rapha, thank You for Your Word which is truth that heals. Father, I repent today for any words that have brought destruction into my life, or the lives of those around me. God, I ask that You uproot every negative seed, and help me to always choose pleasant words of life, so I can be healed physically, spiritually and emotionally, in Christ’s Name! Amen.
Young Londoners have revealed that they would rather rent a tiny studio flat than a large property in a less desirable area.
We Haven’t Reached the Density of Hong Kong. But We’re Heading That Way
London’s population is expected to reach 10m by 2031 from its current 8.3m. London needs an estimated 49,000 new homes a year. This is not a new phenomenon, architects have confronted population growth and social changes before.

Micro-apartments Are in Vogue Today. But in Japan, People Have Been Living in the Nakagin Capsule Tower’s 100-square-foot Housing for Decades
Some 45% of 18-24-year-olds in London said they would consider living in a micro-flat if that was in the “perfect” location. A micro-apartment, also known as a micro-flat, is a one-room, self-contained living space, usually purpose-built, designed to accommodate a sitting space, sleeping space, bathroom and kitchenette with a size of 4-10 square meters.
They are essentially modern versions of the British bedsit and are becoming popular in urban centers in Europe, Japan, Hong Kong and North America, as they represent a seemingly straightforward antidote to persistent affordable housing shortages in dense growing cities.
In fact, some micro-apartments are being marketed as cost-effective fashionable lifestyle products.
