The Power of Words
In the begining the WORD already existed...The WORD was the
source of life... John 1 vs. 1-4
The creation of the world from God's mouth is no longer news.
And that Jesus cursed the fig tree not to produce fruits also is
no news. The news is this: we all fail to realize that for every
word said, there is a re-resulting effect. Proverb 18 vs.
21—what you say can preserve life or destroy it, so you
must accept the consequences of your words.
Do you know that there is power in the spoken word? Mark 11 vs.
23—I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and
throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but
believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
A very good illustration is the words of Prophet Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 37 vs. 4/7/9-10—He said, prophesy to the bones.
Tell these dry bones to listen to the word of the lord—so
I prophesied as I had been told. While I was speaking, I had a
rattling noise, and the bones began to join together—God
said to me, mortal man, prophesy to the wind. Tell the wind...
so I prophesied as I had been told. Breath entered the bodies
and they... What we get most times result from the words we say
to ourselves or to others Matthew 12vs. 37—Your words will
be used to judge you—to declare you either innocent or
guilty
Hear this, the result you get today is from what you said
yesterday. And tomorrow's results start today. What are the
things you have just said? What are you saying right now? What
will you say in an hour or two before today is over? I want to
tell you how powerful words are. Some years back, I had watched
a recorded video message of Bishop T. D. Jakes with the title
‘the ten commandment of working in a hostile environment'
and I did what he said. I had applied for a position in a
celebrity magazine as an Advert executive. Then I began saying
to myself' I am the right person for this job' continuously from
the first day I had seen the vacancy advertisement. And when I
got the job, I was not surprised.
Words are seeds. Be mindful and thoughtful of your words. Have
you ever thought of why there is a dictionary and a thesaurus?
Begin today to select words that create a vision of what you
want and what you will become. 1 Peter 3 vs. 10—As the
scripture says, if you want to enjoy life and wish to see good
times, you must keep from speaking evil and stop telling lies.
I leave you with these words from an anonymous author A careless
word may kindle strife A cruel word may wreck a life A bitter
word may hate instill A brutal word may smile and kill A
gracious word may smooth the way A joyous word may light the day
A timely word may lessen stress A lovely word may heal and bless
Romans 10vs. 10—for it is by our faith that we are put
right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved.
