YOUR WORDS AND YOUR LIFE

“Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth; thou art taken with the words of thy mouth” Proverbs 6:2

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Your words are the compass of your life.

The words we speak are very powerful. Words have potent force to build or destroy. Words are so powerful that the entire universe was created with words (Genesis 1:3). The Bible records that when God created the heavens and the earth, God only spoke words. This is a clear example of how potent words can be. As a born again child of God, you must be loaded with the right word. You ought to have the Word of God constantly on your tongue.  Jesus speaks in John chapter 6:63 that the words he speaks are spirit and they are life. The words you speak have the capacity to give life to any dead situation. Likewise, it can destroy whatever you have built up over the years. In Matthew 12:36-37, Jesus said, “But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”. It is by the words we speak that we are saved or condemned.  According to Paul in Romans 10:8-10; “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Words are the compass of your life. Your life is a function of what you say continually. If your confessions are positive, you harvest positive results. If you always confess negative, you will always get negative results. The Apostle James in James 3:4-5 likened the tongue to the rudder of a great ship, which the captain uses to direct the ship wherever he wants. A wholesome life is a product of wholesome words. What you say is what you get (Mark 11:23). Therefore, you must consciously watch what you say. What you say determines the course of your life. You can keep yourself in good health, safety, prosperity and victory with your words. Consciously stir your life in the direction of God’s destiny for you with faith-filled confessions. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”. You must create and sustain the good life with your words. You can be anything you want to be, or have anything you want to have only with your words. Therefore, speak into the atmosphere. Speak life and you will have life. Whatever you declare is what will come to you. Speak it and have it!

INSTRUCTION: Always speak the right words.

PRAYER: Lord, I consecrate my mouth to make only positive confessions over my life,  in Jesus name.

QUOTE: A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
