Words have the ability of going into the future before us. They create what we see and experience in this three-dimensional world. So, what we see today is a result of what we have spoken over our lives – or what was spoken over us by someone else. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21) The Living Bible translation puts it this way: “Those who love to talk will suffer the consequences. Men have died for saying the wrong things.” This scripture buttresses the creative power of words. You are either made or marred in life by words – the words you speak, or the words that are spoken over you by somebody else. Your life is a product of words. These words have creative ability, and they go into the future before you. They eventually create the future you have spoken over yourself and/or the future was spoken over you by someone else. The TLB version says men have died for saying the wrong things. In the same vein, men have been made for saying the right things, men have been lifted by God for saying the right things. Words are powerful and they determine how far your life will go. What does the Bible say in Psalm 34: 12-13? “What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.” Do you want to see good days? Then speak your tongue from speaking nonsense. If you desire life, speak life. This is a season when words will rule; you must check what you speak. The Bible, in James 3:10, tells us that blessing and cursing proceeds from the mouth. But you see, we ought to choose blessing. We are encouraged to focus on the blessing. You should commit yourself more to speaking the blessings – instead of the curses. Here are the words of Jesus: “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (Matthew 12: 35-37). You are justified or condemned by words. So, what do you do when wrong words are spoken over you? You immediately counter them with right words and blessings from your own mouth. Your words have greater impact over your life. In fact, your words, filled with faith, are powerful enough to slaughter an entire army. You may ask, how can I help myself speak life and bring forth good words? Perhaps, you are so used to speaking wrong things that you need help… The solution to this challenge lies in meditation. You should meditate daily on the Word of God. Renew your mind and thoughts daily with the Word. Meditate with the scripture until it becomes a part of your everyday life and conversation. This year 2023, commit yourself to meditating on the Word of God every day. Your words will change your life. Again, your words will change your life.

Every child of God needs to understand the power in the name of Jesus. When we understand, believe wholly and depend heavily on the name of Jesus, we are bound to see tremendous results in our lives. The Bible says in Philippians 2:9-10: “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth…” Please take note of the things that must bow – things in heaven, things on earth and things under the earth. This is how powerful the name of Jesus is – there is no territorial limit to its potency. His name works everywhere! The name of Jesus is so powerful. Don’t be amongst those who call on the name of Jesus so casually – they do not understand the power in His name. The difference between the seven sons of Sceva and the one man in Mark 9:38-40, who casted out devils in the name of Jesus, was the understanding of the power in that name. Have FAITH in the name of JESUS. Faith in the name of Jesus will be needed more and more in the end time. Throughout your lifetime, do not lose hold of the fact that when you call on the name of Jesus, everything is possible. No matter what you face, salvation will come. The name of Jesus is the only name that has the power to save. In Romans 10:13, the Bible says that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” If you call on the name of the Lord as a whosoever, you will be saved in your health, finance, marriage, family, career and everywhere else. In Acts 3:1-16, there is an account of a lame beggar at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, whose life was changed because of the power of faith in the name of Jesus. When questions were asked, the Apostle Peter responded, saying: “And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” (Acts 3:16) As a believer, you must have faith in the name of Jesus. This should be a lifetime imperative. Lead life with absolute faith in the name of Jesus. The reason why many are not getting results is because of the absence of FAITH in that name. The name of Jesus is sufficient. The name is sufficient for you and your loved ones throughout this year – and beyond. For more life-changing sermons, visit - https://anchor.fm/chidi-ifoh |
