Many of us have this habit of always saying negative
things whenever we are faced with any form of challenge. You hear people
especially those of the household of faith say stuffs like, “I am done for,”
“It is finished,” etc. What most of us don’t realize is that there is power in
the tongue especially that of a believer, so what we say matters.
In Gen 2, when God finished forming the beasts of
the field and the birds of the air, Bible says He asked Adam to name them.
Verse 19 of that scripture says, “And whatsoever Adam called every living
creature, that was the name thereof.” If Adam had named a goat a chimpanzee,
that would have been the name. A dog would have been called a snake if Adam had
named it such. In verse 23, Adam named what was made out of him Woman, even
when God never told him he was to name her woman, and till this very day,
that’s what we call them.
It then means that whatever name you give your situation
is what it answers to, because the scripture says there is death and life in
the power of the tongue. You might say you are faced with several challenges,
but don’t forget that the things which are seen are temporal; but the things
which are not seen are eternal (2 Cor 4:18), because through faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do appear (Heb 11:3).
The servant at that wedding in Cana knew it was
water he collected from Jesus, but because Jesus said it was wine, he went
ahead and served. You might not yet be earning millions, but that doesn’t mean
you should be calling yourself poor and wretched because whatever you call
yourself is what your spirit understands and in turn supplies you energy to become
what you named yourself.
Be wise!
