I have always believed
that the greatest Prophet over your life is yourself. It is more important what
you say about your life, than what someone else says about your life. In fact,
most prophecies over your life will only be fulfilled when you agree with them.
The question this day is what are you saying?
I found it absurd how the
devil has really taken over the lexicon of the believer. Many have joined the
devil’s team – they are speaking exactly what the devil says, or would have
said to them. I am sure you have heard people say, including believers, ‘I AM
DEAD SERIOUS’ – What has seriousness got to do with being dead. Or ‘I AM
FINISHED’ Wait a minute, wetin (what) happen? Even, Jesus on the cross didn’t
say ‘I am finished’ but ‘IT IS FINISHED’. And then some say ‘I AM HUNGRY LIKE
HELL’. Are you serious! I found no meeting point between hunger and hell. And
some even think it’s cool. Time and space will fail me to tell of the very many
negatives in our indigenous tongue, take for instance someone said, ‘temi ti
baje’ – (Yoruba, meaning my own, my life have spoilt). When you say such words,
you don’t need demons.
We need to understand that
being believers’ means speaking the way God’s speak, or the best way, speaking
what God has said. Are your words in tandem with God’s words or with the
devil’s? I want to conclude by looking into two portions of the scripture.
- Proverbs
18:20-21 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. DEATH
AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE: AND THEY THAT LOVE IT
SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF.’
Solomon said that your
words are seeds, and like every seed, when sown, they must germinate, all
things being equal. A farmer eats of the fruits of his seed – whether directly
or by profiting. The words you release today are the seeds, the fruit of which
you will feed on tomorrow. Many times in life, the things we see don’t just
happen, they happen as a result of process. Your present state is a result of
what started long ago.
What are you filled with
today, what are you experiencing today? If your life is full of varying degrees
of bitterness, failure, pain, disappointment etc, it may be because of the
things you said long ago; you may be eating of the fruit of your mouth. A sure
way to change your life is by starting to sow the right seeds. Heaven and earth
respect your words – “SAY UNTO THEM, AS TRULY AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD, AS YE
HAVE SPOKEN IN MINE EARS, SO WILL I DO TO YOU” Numbers 14:28. Life
is more about the seed we sow than about the harvest, for your harvest is
determined by the seed sown.
I love the message
translation of Proverbs 18:21, “WORDS KILL, WORDS GIVE LIFE; THEY'RE EITHER POISON
OR FRUIT--YOU CHOOSE”.
- So
in whose camp are you? Let’s consider the second scripture:
‘It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY
ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE.’ John 6:63
The literal translation
says, ‘the word that I speak are spirit filled and life giving’. Many years
ago, while meditating on this verse of the scripture God told me, He said ‘all
words spoken by men have a spirit, either my spirit or the devil’s spirit, the
devil’s therefore brings death while mine gives life’. Those words over the
years rings through my spirit. All words are spirit – but some give life, some
death. Remember Jesus didn’t say ‘some of the words that I speak…’ So no room
for I was only joking or being cool. All your words must be Spirit filled and
Life giving. Don’t sulk life out of your life. Speak like a God’s fan!
Determine to never support the devil’s plan. Quit the devil’s team!
Therefore be careful whose
team you are supporting. John 10:10, told us the devil’s team and game plan is
always about stealing, murdering and death. While some people claim not to be
for the devil, they, by their words energize him to act in their lives.
My challenge to you today
is that you will appreciate the creative power of the tongue and understand
that the spirit world is controlled by the word of God. The spoken word of God
is creative power, and there is great power in your tongue. Therefore learn to
use it wisely, align your tongue with God, be a God’s fan with your words and
keep speaking the word of life – for surely as you have spoken in His ears He
will do.
Your Greatness is Assured!
