THEME: WHAT YOU SAY IS VITAL

Matthew 12:22-37
The devil does not have authority over you since you have given your life to Christ and you now belong to God’s kingdom. It happens quite often that through the spoken word, people grant access to the devil to enter and do his works of stealing, killing and destroying. What you say is vital and you really need to be reminded of this truth at this time.

In our reading passage today, our Lord Jesus said, “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matthew 12:36-37).

How do you react when faced with imminent danger? Do you throw your hands over your head and shout that you are finished; or do you look at the danger in the face and command it to dissolve and fizzle away? When feeling symptoms of sickness, do you go telling everyone about your sickness and how serious it is becoming; or do you speak to your body and command it to reject everything God has not planted in it?

Two cannot work together unless they agree. When the devil brings his schemes your way, you better be sensitive enough to recognise those wiles of his and reject them. It is only when you accept them through what you say that they can enter and settle.

James says, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

This result will be achieved always if you remain sensitive and say the right things in critical moments.
PRAYER : Thank God for today’s word and command the works of the devil in your life and concerns to be rooted out.

CONFESSION: With my words I can create good and evil. With my words I destroy the works of the devil that good may abound and flourish.

His Channels

Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression. This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
