YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof ” Proverbs 18:21 KJV

In my many decades of ministry, I have come to understand the power of the spoken word.
Wherever you find yourself, please do not join those discussing how bad things are, because
when you do that, you would be cursing yourself. I can tell you categorically that words are
powerful.
Have you observed that even in the midst of the challenges in your country of residence,
some people are becoming millionaires and new billionaires are emerging? Many people are
smiling to the bank! Why not you? The thing that the devil is doing is to cause you to say the
wrong things. But you must refuse to fall for his tricks. Death and life are in the power of the
tongue. I get disturbed when a parent, out of anger, calls a child all kinds of bad names. It
simply shows the level of ignorance under which the person is operating. Rather than call
the child bad names, sit the child down and address the issue. You may have to do it several
times before the child begins to respond positively, but it is better than putting a curse on
your child.
Let me show you the power of words. If you tell your child to take a book from the table and
take the same book to a guest in the house, the child will obey you. You will notice that
without getting out of your seat, the book has moved from the table into the hands of your
guest. That means you move things by your words. The Bible tells us that “the things which
are seen were not made of the things that do appear". Which means that words created
what we see. God calls the things that be not as though they were, and they come into
existence.
Learn to speak the right words and things will surely move. When you speak, God knows
how to rearrange and move things in your favour.
