The Power of Words

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Words are powerful. They frame thought patterns. What a person hears and believes is very important as words always have the capacity to impact people and their lives either positively or negatively. That is why you should cross check the source of the words you hear, internalize and believe. Therefore, whoever you pay attention to; internalize the words and speak the words is very important. Who you listen to is very important.

Words that originate from God always have the capacity to enrich and enlarge you and make you a better person. These words are like the rain that comes in due season; that is at the right time to bless the earth. The word of God is powerful. The word of God gives believers advantage over the world by giving believers advance information of what God has done concerning our lives and whatever situation confronts us.

It is a battle of words and words that originate from the kingdom of darkness are like the polluted waters of Jericho that was causing barrenness and death in the land. Please see 2nd Kings Chapter 2 verses 18 to 22, Exodus Chapter 15 verses 22 to 26. That is why Elisha went to the source of the water where the water was polluted to bring about healing of the water, decontamination from source and healing in the land.

This is why the devil manipulates through negative reports. Refuse to entertain and believe negative reports. The devil consistently uses his agents to create and foster contrary and negative situations through their speeches and actions – daily confessions of negativity, impossibilities and what have you to make you think, focus on and reflect on impossibilities, and how to cope; sometimes resulting in worries, anxieties, and fear and of course, unbelief and consequently recourse to sinful actions, usually suggestions from the pit of hell.

When God makes a promise to you, the devil makes every effort to ensure you do not get there and he does it through worry, anxiety, counterfeits, etc. Worry attracts diseases that could be terminal. Worry attracts demonic infestation and oppression. Worry is a symptom of unbelief. You are important to God therefore do not devalue yourself through worry and anxiety. Refuse to give the devil any form of platform in your life. Beloved, hold on to the word of God and believe the word of God against every evidence, fact that the enemy and his cohorts present, knowing that such evidences and facts are lies from the kingdom of darkness designed to keep you in circles and stagnation.

You are an heir of Christ with God and God will do anything to keep you safe and secure. Allow God the driving seat in your life. He alone knows what He created you for; a purpose and He knows how to bring about its full implementation. Therefore, focus on God’s promises and blessings to you so that you will not be bound by the lies and manipulations of the devil and his cohorts.

The path to freedom is renewing your mind and holding on to the word of God alone, believing that word and internalizing the word as your reality. Operate on the word report because the word is the final authority. He sent forth His word and healed every form of disease, whether named or unknown. Reject every mindset of the devil. There is something bigger than all the lies of the devil. Reject them and choose to move forward with the truth of God’s word (Philippians Chapter 4 verse 19, Psalm 23, Deuteronomy Chapters 15 verse 6, 28 verses 11 to 13, 8 verse 18). Shift your focus to God (Jeremiah Chapter 17 verses 5 to 8) and spend time honoring God rather than talking about challenges that always turn out to be stepping stones to greatness. Do not let the worship of God depart from your mouth.

Boldly speak the word of God concerning whatever contrary situation the enemy and his cohorts present against you and call forth what you require and desire to fulfill divine purpose. Call forth financial abundance if that is what you need. Prophesy financial abundance, take the word of God concerning financial abundance and prophesy the word to yourself, finances, children, businesses, seeds sown and see God act in your favor by ensuring that His word accomplishes financial abundance in your life. Your weapon of war is the sword of the spirit which you are to declare daily at all times, to ensure a release of the financial resources from wherever  they are and from whoever may want to hold on to them.

Your handwork is already blessed even before you start. This is because Jesus paid the price on the cross. Jesus was pierced on the brow so that your mind will be sound. Start building with what you have. Receive all the blessings and victories God got for you at Calvary through the sacrifice of Jesus. Grace will take you where one thousand years of labor will not take you.
Finally, ignorance makes people including believers act foolish and hasty. Therefore, learn to feed yourself for in so doing you learn to distinguish the voice of God from other voices – yours, other people and the devil and his cohorts. Additionally you separate spirit enhancing food from just any food meant to titillate your senses. Like a true nutritionist, you eat only what builds you up and experience to enjoy the power of the Word of God. Shalom.
