“The words you say now reflect your fate then; either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned.” – Matthew 12:37 (NLT)
Words are powerful. God created the universe by speaking. He created human beings in His image; therefore, they have His creative ability. Your words are much more than sounds; they carry spiritual substance. They frame your life and your world.
Depending on the level of your confessions, your life rises or falls. When you speak in line with God’s Word, you set in motion the divine laws of success and victory. Conversely, when you speak words of fear, doubt or defeat, you give room to the adversary. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:21, death and life are in the tongue.
To keep your tongue from evil is to refuse to speak anything that contradicts the Word of God. It means to speak the Word only and always, irrespective of what you think or know.
Faith, not fear; life, not death; victory, not failure; should be released every time you speak. See your mouth as the control centre of your destiny. Don’t wait for situations to change before you speak; speak the change you want to see. Declare who you are in Christ, what you have, and what you can do through Him.
See your words as divine tools; therefore, rule your world with your words. Job 22:28 (NKJV) says, “You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you…” Use your mouth to issue the right decrees about your life, your health, your family, your future, your environment, your nation and your destiny. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to realise that my words are full of power and life. Help me to speak wisdom, victory, and success always. Help me to live in the victory of Christ today and always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
