THE WORD OF YOUR MOUTH – PART 2

God said, “Say to them, 'As I live,' says the Lord, 'just as you have spoken in my hearing, so I will do to you:” Numbers 14:28 NKJV 

Your declaration is as important as the future you desire to arrive at. Why don’t you say “hey children stop such attitude glorious child, or don’t you know you are going to be our future president, governor, pastor”? I mean just speak some positive words. 

I don’t joke with utterances and I attach importance to every word, since the day I understand my word count. No matter how upset I am I will never speak negative words. Any man and woman of prayers don’t speak unguided words, I remember when one of my members framed an allegation against me, I said I will not pray against him neither will I pray for him. Because this is a person I have invested much of my time in prayer for, will I destroy what I have built? No. Although I later called him and cautioned him not to repeat such else he will bring a curse upon himself. On another occasion, a husband and wife cooked up stories against me, when I heard it I told the woman I have forgiven you. But don’t contribute to whatsoever you are not fully informed. Until you understand how terrible human beings are, you will keep destroying whatsoever you have built in the name of disappointment.

Have you found your son smoking, drinking, or involved in some horrible stuff? Don’t allow heartbreak and disappointments to push you to make negative utterances. Instead, you should address such demonic spirit in the place of prayer; you have the power of the Holy Ghost in you because whatsoever you permit on earth is what will be permitted in heaven. 

See what the scripture says about your mouth…

“The mouth of the righteous is a well of life…”Proverbs 10:11 NKJV   

“The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice.” Ps 37:3 NKJV

Our mouth is giving to us for constructive miracles, to usher the people of God into their liberty. Every word spoken by Jesus Christ during his earthly ministries was backed up with the power of accomplishment in the same vein we are expected to carry the same power. 

In case your marriage is not working as expected, you don’t need to get frustrated or lose your mind. Filing for divorce is never the best option for any child of God; we should rather take it to God in our prayers. Casting your care upon him for he cares for you. Maybe your marriage is on the verge of collapsing and you are reading this book, be sure you can reframe your marriage by the positive words you speak.

Remember Hannah and Peninnah? Hannah was the first wife of Elkanah but her womb was shut up by the LORD. Penninah had children but she didn’t and she was frustrated and down-casted.  

6 And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. 

7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat. 1 Sam 1:6-7 NKJV

However, I was challenged in the way she approached her situation. Unlike some of us who will allow emotion to dictate and influence us rather than handle the challenges carefully in the place of prayers. Hannah went to God in prayers wept before her Maker. Some of us prefer weeping before men than to weep before God our Maker. He is the only one who can transform our Lives and destiny for good to the glory of his name no matter how miserable we are. She didn’t utter any negative word against God, some will say God doesn’t care about their situation, some will say God is partial there and some will say I don’t think there is God!      

“Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter a word before God…”Eccl 5:2 AMP

We should be careful and come to maturity, never allow our emotions to push us against our creator. Every word we speak matters a lot before God, since the day I understood He (God) doesn’t joke with words, I made sure my words are guided by His grace. 

Permit me to share with you my experience, when my wife gave birth to our first son, she went to stay with her parents here united states because we could not afford some bills while I was still in Nigeria then. I remember we had an argument and at the heat of the argument, I said don’t worry very soon you will be asked to leave that house. The following day her Dad called her and said now your son is going to be five months old, you can go and get your apartment, although she still maneuvers her way and stayed for some months more. I want to believe my utterance triggered it. If only you can realize that spoken words are powerful, you will be more careful before you speak.

Eli noticed her, he never knew she was speaking the desires of her mind to God, this day she vowed if only God can give her a male child she will return him to Him. However, Eli said put away wine from your mouth woman! He never perceives what was transpiring, he probably had not seen her pray for too long. Hannah’s prayers were effective!
