It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).
Imagine what transpired in Luke 7:11-17. He was on a journey to the city
of Nain , and as
He arrived at the gate of the City, He saw a funeral procession of a young man,
who happened to be the only son of a widow. Moved with compassion, He touched
the casket and said, “...Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was
dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother” (Luke
7:13-15). He raised the dead body of that young man back to life with words!
Once, His disciples were startled amidst a raging tempest. Terrified,
they cried out to Him, “...Master, carest thou not that we perish?” (Mark
4:38). What He did was remarkable: “...he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said
unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm”
(Mark 4:39). It made no difference how turbulent or tempestuous the weather
was, Jesus hushed it with words—the same way He healed and restored sight to
blind eyes, hearing to deaf ears, and vitality to maimed limbs.
However, He reveals to us an important truth: the words He spoke came
from the Father. He said in John 12:50, “...whatsoever I speak therefore, even
as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” It’s the same with us today. The
Father has given us words to speak; we don’t, and shouldn’t, speak our own
words, or words that we learnt from our neighbours or environment! We learn
words from the Word of God; we get our spiritual vocabulary from the Word of
God. That’s why you have to keep studying the Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15).
The result is that you’ll think and talk like Jesus, and have His kind of
extraordinary results! You’ll become a master of words, speaking wisdom all the
time.
CONFESSION: My words are spirit, and life, infused with power and divine
energy to prevail over circumstances. The words of Christ dwell in me richly,
in all wisdom; therefore, my words are filled with inspiration, healing,
comfort, hope, love, and power, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly
in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
