RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY, JULY 2nd. Pastor Chris
TOPIC ✨YOUR SPEECH CONTROLS YOUR LIFE✨

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body (James 3:2).

Christian  perfection  or  maturity  is  expressed chiefly  in  your  mouth—your  communication. If  you  want  to  go  in  the  right  direction  in  life,  your tongue  is  the  compass.  If  you  offend  in  words,  that  is, if your communication is unwholesome, your life will be in jeopardy. Your speech controls you.

Proverbs  18:21  says,  “Death  and  life  are  in the  power  of  the  tongue….”  Jesus  said,  “…out  of the  abundance  of  the  heart  the  mouth  speaketh” (Matthew  12:34).  So,  through  your  thoughts,  your character  is  formed,  but  it’s  expressed  in  your  talk,  in your  words.  Meaning,  your  thinking  is  your  character; but  your  “talking”  is  your  life.  That’s  how  important your words are.

Romans  10:10  says,  “…with  the  mouth  confession is  made  unto  salvation.”  It’s  a  principle.  God  said  to Joshua,  “This  book  of  the  law  shall  not  depart  out  of thy  mouth;  but  thou  shalt  meditate  therein  day  and night…”  (Joshua 1:8).

Meditate  on  the  Word  of  God;  keep  it  in  your mouth.  That  means  keep  affirming  the  Word.  No matter  what’s  happening  around  you,  speak  the  Word. The  Bible  says,  “When  men  are  cast  down,  then  thou shalt  say,  There  is  lifting  up…”  (Job  22:29).  Again,  the emphasis is on what you say.

When  things  are  rough  and  tough,  you’re  not to  wait  to  be  lifted;  you  have  a  lifting  power;  it’s  in your  mouth.  With  your  mouth,  you  catapult  yourself from  obscurity  to  greatness!  You  lift  yourself  from  the thraldom  of  inflation,  austerity  and  lack  to  abundance. It’s  about  what  you  say!  Declare  that  you’re  supremely blessed,  prosperous  and  walking  in  financial  abundance, and your life will gravitate in that direction.

What  is  it  that  you  want?  It’s  all  in  your  mouth. Say  it,  and  you’ll  have  it!  That’s  what  Jesus  said  in Mark  11:23:  “For  verily  I  say  unto  you…whosoever shall  say…and  shall  not  doubt  in  his  heart,  but  shall believe  that  those  things  which  he  saith  shall  come to  pass;  he  shall  have  whatsoever  he  saith.”  Blessed be God!

CONFESSION
My  speech  is  modelled  in  line  with  God’s  thoughts and  direction  for  my  life.  I  declare  that  prosperity, victory,  success,  growth  and  financial  abundance  are the hallmarks of my life. Amen!

FURTHER STUDY:

Proverbs 6:2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

James 3:3-6 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great, and [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
