🎚 CENTRAL TRUTH:
_Tongue control the Power of Life and death.
📖 BIBLE TEXT:
Proverbs 6:2; 18:21; Mark 11:23.
🔑 KEY VERSE:
"Life and death are in the power of the tongue" (Prov. 18:21).
🖊️ MEMOIR
Solomon, over 3000 years ago, recognized the power in what we say (Prov. 6:2). In our mouths lie the power to snare and power to deliver, power to cure and power to kill, power to curse and power to bless, power to hurt and power to heal. There lies in the mouth, power beyond our imagination.
Jesus confirmed this when he said that whoever shall say and believe what they said, shall have whatever they said (Mk 11:13).
If you say a negative thing, you get a negative result, but if you say a positive thing, you get a positive result. Suppose your child is having bodily discomfort. When you notice it, you announce (confess) that the child has got malaria and believe your confession. You have opened doors for sickness and sure enough, malaria will come. But instead of confessing malaria, you say that whatever is the matter, by His strips your child is healed, the reverse will be the case. If sickness could come when you believed and confessed negatively, why won't healing and deliverance come when you believe and confess positively?
T.L Osborn said that there are three things to consider when sickness comes:
• What the symptoms say,
• What God says, and
• What you say.
If you say what God says, the sickness will go away. If you say what the symptoms say, the sickness will stay. What has been your confession - negative or positive? Mind what you say, for life and death are in the power of the tongue (Prov. 18:21).
🙏🏿 PRAYER
Father, help me to mind my words, since what I say can affect me positively or negatively.
