The mouth is a dangerous weapon, which can work for or against you, depending on how it is used. Your mouth is not meant for eating alone it is also an instrument for charting the course of your life. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:20-21, “A man is filled with what comes from his mouth and is nourished by what his lips provide. The tongue has power over life and death, those who like speaking will eat its fruit” But how many people understand this principle? How true are the words? The whole world was created by the spoken words of God and not his thoughts or quietness. That should give us Christians an insight into how things work here on earth from the spiritual realm. We should understand that we live first in the spiritual before we transmit to the physical. Therefore, if you have not won in the spiritual, you can’t win in the physical realm of life.

Do you know that some situations in your life and in the lives of others around you are waiting a word from you before they will change? Until that word comes, things will remain the same. But as soon as you release the word, heaven’s power will be released and the desired changes will be obtained. Unfortunately, many are still withholding the words that could bring about their desired changes. God gave you a mouth to deliver your self. Are you using your tongue to your maximum benefit? If you are facing an unfavourable situation, you have to respond to that situation with the right words. When Jesus awoke on a boat in a stormy sea, He spoke to the wind and waves Mark 4:39 and they heard Him. When He was confronted with deaf ears, He spoke to the deaf ears Mark 7:34 and the ears weren’t deaf to the word of God----.The Bible says we are made in the image and likeness of God. If Jesus could do all those things, it means we can also do them because he has given us authority over every thing on earth.

Words like “I know who I am”; “I’m rich”; “I can never be poor”; “I don’t get sick”; “I can never be defeated” etc, are often regarded as proud words by some people who have not yet understood the power of words and the authority they have in Christ Jesus. Learn to talk right always, for the right words produce tremendous results.Romans10:10 says “By believing from the heart, you obtain true righteousness; by confessing the faith with your lips you are saved”. After you have believed in your heart, it is necessary to engage your mouth to confess your salvation or else you will forfeit it. The leper in mark 1:40-45 only needed the lord to make one pronunciation .All Jesus needed to say was “I will, be clean” if he had refrained from saying it, the man would have died a leper. In Mathew 8:5-13 the centurion wanted Jesus to say just a word for his servant to receive his healing.

The question now is which words are you suppose to release? You cannot release words of power if you don’t have them in you. Colossians 3:16 says” Let the word of God dwell in you in all its richness.” Study Gods word and commit it to your heart. Man alone cannot tame the tongue.Through Gods word and the Holy Spirit,we can put pressure on our tongue to tame it.Do not use your mouth to say unauthorised, unholy or negative things about your self or others .confess daily, obey Gods word, preach it and when you speak afterward, your words would be empowered by the spirit to produce changes wherever they are sent. Address situations that need a change by your words. Use your tongue to confess your way into your desired breakthrough. Talk to your body, your home, business, health etc; declare that you are what God says you are. Practice talking sessions everyday and watch your life go forward and upward. At times, the situation may pretend as if it’s not changing but it has heard you and it will conform to the word of God.
