Proverbs 20-21 (Amp.B)
18:20 A man\’s [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].
18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].
The word (s) that you speak are either releasing the healing power of God in you or they are blocking the healing power of God from working in you. The power of the tongue is so powerful that the bible warns us to bridle our tongue like when horse\’s month is caged with a bit
\”If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3. Indeed, we put bits in horses\’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body\”. (James 3:2-3) Daily bible.
Our tongues can be the most difficult thing to control and leave us with great regret if we use our words to hurt. There is hope! The Bible tells us that with the help of the Holy Spirit we can have power and control over our tongue and we can speak words of encouragement to ourselves and others around us which can attract blessings instead of curses to us.
For \”He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. 11. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it\”. (1Peter 3:10-11) DB.
If you speak words of discouragement like sickness, defeat, you complain and murmuring, comparing yourself to others, always telling your problems to people and also in the habit of exaggerating your problems to attract sympathy. You are only speaking the words of failure and sowing a seed of stagnation to your life which will surely come to you for As a man thinks so he is.
If you want to enjoy divine health and peace that produces testimony in your daily life train your self to speak postive words at all times. When you say what the word of God says, the power of the word will release power to work in your circumstances. Be like the woman with the issue of blood, the bible recorded that when she heard that Jesus was in the neighborhood, she proposed in her heart that the moment she may touch the helm of Jesus cloths she will obtain her healing and as soon as she touched with faith she received her healing. ( Mark 5:24-29).
You are a master of your spoken word be careful of what you say for what you say can enslave you or grant you freedom for every spoken word has the ability to arouse our self will.
As the year 2019 is coming to an end start speaking positive things to yourself and to your situations every morning declare what your desire and expectations are before you step out of your house and back it up with the word of God then confidently leave the rest for God to handle all through the day, you will see what will happen according to your belief and faith in God. Good morning and do have a blissful week filled with testimonies 🙏 Remain Blessed!! ✍️ Blessing I N Onugha.
