YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”.Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)The bible says in the book of John 6:63: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (KJV)That is why we can make declarations and it will happen because they are the words of the Almighty. We have come into the days of God’s power. It is not about jumping up and down. When you know the power, you carry you are relaxed. You don’t go to bed wondering whether you will sleep or not. You will just go to bed and sleep because when that demon comes around, he will say no, not this one.Our text tells us that you will eat the fruit of your lips. But the type of fruit you eat depends on what you speak. If you speak death filled words, then don’t expect anything to work. But if your words are filled with life, your words are filled with blessings and the declarations of God’s goodness and favour, then that’s what you will possess. Make up your mind to speak only your expectations according to His word.Speak what He has said concerning you. Proverbs 12:14 tells us that “A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.” (KJV) In other words you can tell what you are speaking by what is manifesting in your life.You activate the blessings by your confession. Blessings are deployed by words. The Bible tell us that: And God blessed them, and God said…”(Genesis 1:28 KJV). Even when Isaac blessed his sons, he spoke the blessing. Therefore, in order for you to walk in the blessing, you must open your mouth and speak it into manifestation. Don’t go about parroting what the devil is doing, or the challenges you are currently faced with.Further Reading: Proverbs 13:2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Romans 10:10Daily Bible Reading: Morning- Ezekiel 18-19; Evening- James 4
