... for he hath said, I will never leave
thee, nor
forsake thee. So that we may boldly say,
The
Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what
man
shall do unto me (Hebrews 13:5-6).
Proverbs 6:2 says, “Thou art snared with
the
words of thy mouth, thou art taken with
the
words of thy mouth.” This scripture
underscores the precarious situations
many
have found themselves in today. They’ve
been
taken captive by their negative
confessions;
bound by their words.
However, if you’ve been taught right,
you’ll
think right, and the result of that is, you’ll
talk
right. Moreover, when you talk right,
you’ll act
right. When you talk right and act right,
your
life will turn out right.
Our confessions rule us. When it comes
to
words, there’s no such thing as “I actually
didn’t mean it.” Jesus didn’t say, “You
shall
have what you mean,” He said, you shall
have
what you say (Mark 11:23). When you
joke,
don’t joke against the Word. Consciously
speak
in consonance with the Word always—
over
your life, finances, business, health, etc.
Proverbs 18:20 says, “A man’s belly shall
be
satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and
with
the increase of his lips shall he be filled.”
Here,
the scripture isn’t talking about how big
your
lips are. It’s talking about the words of
wisdom
pouring out of your mouth. If you’re not
going
to live a hungry life, then you’re advised
to
speak the right words. If you don’t want
to be
broke, then talk the right kind of talk—
the God
talk!
Proverbs 18:21 tells us, “Death and life
are in
the power of the tongue: and they that
love it
shall eat the fruit thereof.” This means
you can
speak life and reap a harvest of good
things.
Whatever you believe and voice out with
your
mouth is what’s going to happen in your
life.
This is a law of the spirit, and it works,
whether or not you believe it.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for showing me
the
way to a life of continuous victory,
through my
faith-filled confessions, in accordance to
your
word! I’ll never be discouraged nor
subject to
the crippling principles of this world,
because
the Word of God on my lips is God
talking. I
reign triumphantly over all the
negativities of
life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
