The power of words

On a daily basis we communicate to each other and to our God by word of mouth. The words we use matter a lot as they have power to influence the future and a particular situation. John1: says that the word gave life to everything that was created. The story of creation in Genesis shows that God created all stuff by word of mouth, “let there be.” And it was. Whenever we are faced with a particular situation, the words that you use will determine the solution. The bible says that the tongue has power of life and death. If the words you use are not positive towards the situation you are in, it will be hard to get a solution. Revelations 12:11 says that they defeated the devil by the blood of the lamb and the words of their testimonies. In all the situations you go though just remember that God has helped you out even in worse cases and tell the devil, “God is able” and surely those words will see you out of the situation. It doesn’t help asking where God is or whether he loves you when you are going through hardships. Always remember what God can do for you and pronounce it to the devil. The bible also says that confession is possession, if all the time you confess that you are poor/ you cannot handle a certain situation, which means the God who is in you is weak yet that is not the case. The same holy book also says that what comes out of the man is what spoils him. What you say among your peers makes you their friend. That’s why people discuss particular topics with particular people because they have heard their words before. Proverbs 21:23 says watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, you will stay out of trouble. Prov 17:20 says a lying tongue tumbles into trouble. Prophet Jeremiah spoke a word of life to bones and they got life: my dear brother and sister you can pronounce victory in whatever situation you are and you will achieve it. The words that we use on others also affect their confidence in life. Just imagine you have a boss who always says negative words to you, I believe you may be discouraged. Let us watch out what we say to others because we might destroy them. In the book of Jonah, him knowing that he had disobeyed God’s command, to save the situation of the boat he was on from drowning, Jonah said,” throw me in to the Sea and it will be Calm.” It is until the sailor followed Jonah’s words that the sea calmed. Let me pray with you by saying, “God we declare a word of life in all the situations that we are going through. Please, throw all the troubles we are going through into the sea so that we have a calm life. Lord we pray that our words should be words for the better and words which encourage us and others out of hard times. Amen”. I hope we shall always share my Life Principles and always feel free to comment. Contact: allantazenya@yahoo.com
