THE POWER OF SPOKEN WORDS

July 27, 2014

Because many people do not understand the power of spoken words, they abuse and misuse it and as a result, many of them are walking around as victims of wrong things they have spoken at one time or the other. It becomes worse when people who understand that death and life are in the power of the tongue (Prov 18:21) are seen topping the list of people who still underuse this power.

In the book of Genesis 1, Bible says in verse 2a&b part that, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” In order words, things weren’t rosy at all. Darkness connotes confusion, depression, frustration and a life of no direction, but verse 3 says, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” From that point forward, everything God said came to pass. As a matter of truth, the entire universe came into being as a result of spoken words. God said it, and it came to pass and God said as you say it in His ears, so will He do.

It gets me worried when I hear people open their God-given mouth and start spilling out negative utterances about themselves, their nations, their spouses, their jobs, their kids and all when the clear instruction from God was, is and would always be, “Let the weak say, I am strong.” (Joel 3:10c) In order words, stop speaking about your problems and challenges, start speaking about your desires. Start speaking about what you want to experience not about what you are experiencing.

Prov 6:2 says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” As you keep speaking words of fear, doubt, failure and death, Satan fans the flame in every way he can to make it grow. Always remember the word of Christ in Matt 12:37 that, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”

Be wise!
