Wrong speaking is wrong sowing, and this eventually produces the wrong harvest. If your vehicle is going to reach its destination, you must learn how to control your mouth. Every blessing and trouble men are going to have tomorrow, they are saying it today. Every blessing and trouble in people’s live today also came out of their mouths yesterday. Mind your mouth!
Your lips have doors. It is better not to say anything than to say something wrong. What determines the experiences that you are going to have in life is not your job but the words of your mouth. (Proverbs 13:2).The devil is looking for different people to give away crucial things with the words they speak. There is a difference between talking about something and talking to something. The Bible teaches us to talk to things and not about them. Mark 11:23 “For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain ……, he shall have whatsoever he saith.” The scripture does not say whosoever shall ‘talk about and discuss’ the mountain.
God wants you to speak His word to the mountain because that is where the solution lies. Talking about it will only magnify the problem and show you how much of impossibilities the problem carries. For example, if they say there is an embargo on jobs, it does not mean there is an embargo on your employment. You should say what God has said.
If you don’t like what you are having or seeing, change what you are saying. Silence is consent in the spirit. If you don’t want a particular experience, reject it with your mouth.
PRAYER: LORD, help me to put my faith in my mouth. Amen!
