DON’T SAY IT’S NOT WORKING
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh (Luke 6:45).
PASTOR CHRIS
When you speak, things happen. Your words are powerful; they create or destroy. The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). This is the reason we emphasize speaking right; affirming God’s Word on all occasions. What you say is what you get.
Ponder again what we read in our opening scripture; through the words you speak, you bring forth good or evil, life or death, sickness or health, poverty or wealth. It’s up to you. It’s about what you say. You may say, “I’ve been speaking, but nothing has been happening.” Who told you nothing has been happening? That’s like planting your seeds and digging them out of the ground before they grow. Seeds don’t germinate overnight; but once they’re planted in the right environment, they most certainly will grow. Words are seeds.
Therefore, you have to keep speaking the Word. Like we often say, “Keep saying it; don’t stop talking it!” When you affirm the Word, it works. In Isaiah 55:10-11, the Lord said, “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
This shows the power, immutability, impregnability and infallibility of the Word of God. Are you aware that your words hold the same power? Remember, you’re like Him; you’re created in His image and in His likeness. As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). The Word of God in your mouth is God talking. Quit thinking it’s not working. Don’t allow Satan to get you into the sense-realm of trying to observe lying vanities. The Bible says, “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy” (Jonah 2::8 )
CONFESSION
When I speak, it comes to pass, because my words are powerful; they produce what I say, because I speak from God and speak His Word. My life is a testimony of God’s goodness, love, mercy and grace; I’m the proof of His equity, and I walk in His righteousness, in divine health, prosperity, peace and joy. Amen.
