Death
and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the
fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21).
Everything
God gave us is activated through speech—words. Many, however, don’t understand
the power of words. The primary function of your mouth and your tongue is to
steer your life in God’s direction for you.
Remember what the Bible tells us
about God in the book of Genesis ; it says, “In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:1-3).
The
first speech we notice from God wasn’t to somebody; rather, He started by
talking to situations and circumstances. He was making things happen through
the power of speech, showing us what we’re supposed to do with words. He wanted
light and He said, “…let there be light,” and light came into being. He gave us
the ability to speak so that like Him, we can call into existence the things we
want to see in our lives and environment. Halleluiah!
Your
words locate you; what you say determines where you’ll be in life. That’s the
reason it’s so important for you to avoid talking negatively. For instance,
when a Christian declares, “I can’t do such-and such,” he may think that only
applies to the context of that particular statement, but it’s not so! That
statement immediately works in his spirit and affects his divine nature.
This
accounts for why some Christians are in a dilemma in their walk of faith. They
think they know the Word of faith; yet they’re not getting the right results of
the Word in their lives, and they wonder why the contradiction. The reason is
that they’ve programmed too much negativism into their spirits which must be
changed. And only the Word can make that happen.
Think
and talk right. Talk according to the scriptures! Be sure that your words are
in sync with the revealed Word of God always. That way, you’ll consistently
make progress, and chart your course from glory to glory.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your glory in my life, and the influence of your
Word in my spirit, soul, and body, and on my lips! By the power of your Word on
my lips, my life is beautified daily; my mind is renewed, and I’m transformed
from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
