Hello everyone,
As I look at everyone, I see happy people, sad people, the rich and the not so rich. I also observe some people who work so hard but have nothing to show for it. Many wonder why things seem to be working fine and all of a sudden it doesn’t work again, or for others it doesn’t work at all, and still for some things always work fine with them, and these people live among themselves, what could be wrong? This was what I pondered upon. The answer wasn’t something I didn’t know but the emphasis on how serious the answer is, is what I intend discussing with you today. Many of you must have heard of something similar to the answer before, but why not read on to learn a thing or two, or everything.
The Amplified version of Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].” The Message Bible puts this same verse thus, “Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.” Yeah, this verse is so familiar to you right? But have you ever meditated on it deeply, well I did and I want to share what I got again. Every word ever spoken is a command, and it is either life or death, in other words, it either gives life or death to where it is directed. Words are not meant to be spoken without reason, this was why Jesus said in Matthew 12:36 and 37, “But I tell you, on the day of judgement men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak. 37 For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.” Words were given to us to bring life or death to anything we direct it at, it was meant to have a purpose. This implies that whatever you listen to whether through music or in any form is bringing life or death to you.
Don’t forget God Almighty created the universe with words, the truth is that nothing moves without it being commanded to do so. So, if you have a situation that doesn’t show what is good, don’t think that is the end, you have your mouth to command what you want to see, this is the power God placed on this earth which is available to man in general. Words are like seeds that grow, and just as you have some seeds that germinate immediately and some which takes a while, words likewise could behave the same way. You can see that when Jesus cursed the fig tree, (ref.: Matthew 21:18-22; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24). The Matthew’s account says the tree withered immediately, while for that of Mark it wasn’t till the next before the tree withered immediately. But both are correct, the moment Jesus spoke, the roots withered immediately, in other words, the tree died in its roots, but wasn’t noticed until the next day when Peter spoke up.
As Sons of God, when things happen in your life which are not in line with the finished work of Jesus or Who Jesus is now, counter it using the word of God, because the word of God has all authority in heaven and on earth. You speak to your situation, if you have ill health, call the name of sickness or the disease and rebuke it using the word, this is proclaiming death to the situation. The word must be used, do not relax and receive it into your life, rather use the word of God in every situation of your life by confessing life. You were not born to live the suffering life of the world, you were born to live the perfect life of Christ and that is what you are meant to proclaim, confess and believe into your life every time. You are meant to have the word of God on your heart every second of the day, counter everything that is opposes that which Christ has established in you, watch what you listen to and be careful what you say because you are to know when to proclaim life and when to proclaim death as you live your daily life.
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!
