Yesterday, I talked about why we need to watch the words we say because our words are full of power and it commands things to happen, and we speak anyhow, we could unleash what we never wanted in our lives. Today, I’ll be writing still on this topic, but on how we could contain the words that come out of our mouth.
The answer to the question is simple, it is meditation on God’s Word. Meditating on the Word is very important, as it affects our heart. And as it affects our heart, it becomes who we are and as we become full of the Word of God, it becomes what we speak. Remember that our word affects whatever we channel it to. So, if it appears you have a financial issue, being full of the Word of God, speak the Word of God over your financial issue and remain in it; the same thing applies if you have a health issue or any other issue. Soak yourself in the Word of God and overflow with the Word of God when you speak, allowing it to control your world.
Speaking of world, many of us have forgotten how our words bring things to pass. My point here is this, as Christians, we are bound to be persecuted because we are different, unique and do not follow the trend of this fallen world. As a result, the world is doing everything possible to wipe out the Believers, (which is impossible just so you know). They talk about their plans, how they intend to achieve their evil agenda. My point here is, this is not news to us! We’re not supposed to help them propagate their message, while we lose touch on our focus, which is to go into all the world and preach the goodnews. It is not news that the world wants to wipe out Believers, but it would be wrong of us talk and dwell on it. By dwelling about this always, it registers in our heart and before we talk about it seriously as one who believes it would come to pass, and it would come pass.
You know what makes me shake my head it the fact that some Believers when it comes to pass would say, “I said it, I warned them, but they didn’t listen”. What I would say is, “what did you do to prevent it?” We think warning other Believers about it would stop it, rather it would make things worse by bringing it to pass; don’t allow your words to put you in trouble. As I said, it is normal for the evil one to plot evil against God’s people, but to spread the message is to spread fear. But the scriptures says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” [2 Timothy 1:7]. There should always be peace in our hearts not tension because the scriptures again says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.” [Philippians 4:6-8].
Are the messages of fear we’ve been broadcasting good report, praise worthy or worthy of meditation? Do not meditate what isn’t of God; you can only talk about it for one purpose only, which is to encourage Believers to spread the goodnews to the lost and not to create fear. It should only be a sign to us that we need to work harder in spreading the Word and not to create fear in our lives. As we keep go about spreading the goodnews to the lost, we would eventually spread it to those who planned on destroying the Believers, and when they get saved, there won’t any threat on our lives (to think logically). An example to this is Saul (Paul) of Tarsus.
Jesus told His disciples that the harvest is plenty, but there are few labourers [ref. Matthew 9:37; Luke 10:2]; as we hear news about people trying to wipe out Believers what should come out of our mouth is, “that’s a harvest for me”. Then you take your request to God to give you the wisdom how you can win those people to Christ! Watch what you say or else your nightmare becomes your reality.
Our focus should always be on the mission Christ has given us and nothing else. There is power in the words of the Believer, so we aren’t to speak anyhow. Jesus said, “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.” [John 12:49]. In line with this to us, Jesus told His disciples that He would send another helper, who is the Holy Spirit. He lives in us and He is to guide us into the light of truth, how to speak and what not to speak.
As we study the Word of God, the Holy Spirit interprets to us, this is where inspiration comes from. So, if you want to develop your nation, then meditate on the Word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit, as you do this, it becomes what your meditates upon daily and as a result becomes what you speak, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” [Matthew 12:34]. Do this today and see your Words become the exact Word of God as the Holy Spirit leads and guide you.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
