Hello everyone,
There is a popular verse in the
Book of Proverbs 18:21 which says, “Death
and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its
fruit.” Many times, when we see this verse we think it is referring to only
those who know God. But it isn’t, this verse is referring to all of mankind. From
the beginning, God gave man the ability to create, because Man was created the
image and likeness of God. So, since we know this, do we know its
implication?
To say death and life are in the
power of the tongue implies that whatever we say is either causing creation of
destruction based on what we focus our words at. The power of the tongue is so
powerful that a sick person can become well within a period of time, based on
how strong the person’s will power, just by speaking life to the cells of the
sick area. Scientists even tested this theory on plants and found out words can
affect plants positively or negatively based on what we say to it. What then
makes a person who has a new in Christ Jesus different from a regular person
who doesn’t yet have Jesus as his or her new life?
The old life was corrupted when
Adam ate of the wrong tree in Genesis 3. But Jesus came and got the powers from
the devil who stole it from Adam. Now, Jesus could do that because He came as a
sacrifice and the new Adam. Jesus started a brand new life which is different
from the life we inherited when we were born under the first Adam. Now, the
reason why the life of Jesus is better than the life of Adam apart from it not
being corrupt is than all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to
the new Adam—Jesus, (ref.: Matthew 28:18; Philippians 2:9-11).
Now, Jesus supersedes the old
Adam, and not only that, the old Adam is that which is obsolete. My focus here
is that under the new Adam, Jesus is Life, and He lives in us when we receive
Him as Lord. So, when we speak life, we are actually speaking Jesus into that
situation. This is how the sick got their healing when Christ was on earth. He spoke
the life of God to the sick, and the life of God which supersedes all other
authority manifested its power in the sick, as they became well. This is the
same thing that would happen to us when we speak life. However, the only thing that
doesn’t make this manifest is when we don’t believe in the power that we carry.
This is why meditation on the word is very important, to strengthen our faith
in the life that lives in us, and this is what makes Mark 16:17-18 manifest.
So, parents, are you speaking
life to your children? Are we speaking life to our health or just accepting the
negative report of the Doctors? Are you speaking life to your finances, [I mean
when you’ve worked, and not sat home]? We shouldn’t just accept the negative
vibes of the world because it is what we see as normal. The truth is if it is
not bringing life to you and most importantly if it is not bringing The Life
to you, stay away from that zone, and counter it by declaring life to yourself.
The world is full of distractions, don’t be a victim of death, but one who
accepted The Life, so watch what you say.
May the LORD bless
you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you
and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
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!
