The world that we live in was made via pronouncement from the
mouth of God. All things were created by His Word, without it was nothing made.
If words from God brought to existence what we see today it means words are
powerful. Words can either be creative or destructive, depending on what is
pronounced.
The tongue
can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
Proverbs 18:21 NLT
The Bible
passage says those who love to talk will reap the consequences of what they
talk about- be it life or death.
I once lived in a foreign community where sexual immorality
was the order of the day, yet the people were highly religious. I got concerned
and observed after a while that there was a common song amongst the people
which I also became used to. I decided to find out the translation of the song
and hmmn! The song was translated as “Lord, have mercy on me I am a sinner”. Any religious person
would be excited to say and sing that often. But the Lord told me that it
accounts for their continuous sinful nature. Are you surprised? I was too.
The word of God says “... we beloved of God, called to be
saints” (Romans 1:7), not sinners. The moment you accept Jesus as Lord and
Saviour you become a saint which means you are no longer a sinner. You may be
struggling with an easily besetting sin, notwithstanding desist from words that
emphasise the ill situation, instead, speak words of life over the situation.
Your words can do it. Abraham said to Isaac “God will provide” even when the level
of expectation was zero. However, his words did it through God. Your own words
through faith in God can also still the storms, heal you or cause a turnaround
for good.
Are you confused about your present situation? Just speak
faith in the word of God. If God had acted on His word before, then He will do
it again.
My mouth will speak words of wisdom ... Psalms 49:3 NIV
No matter how wonderful a quotation may sound if it does not
align with God’s word, discard it. Remember! The tongue can bring death or life....
May the Lord guide you in Jesus’ name. SHALOM.
