Bless And Create With Words
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth (Genesis 1:22).
The first chapter of Genesis gives a clear
narration of how God brought creation into
being. It tells us in verses twenty and twenty-one
precisely what God did: He spoke words. He said,
“…Let there be…” and everything He said came into
being. Then in the twenty-second verse, we observe
something: He blessed every living creature that He
created saying, “…Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the
earth.”
He spoke to create, and He blessed what He
created, with words. When He said, “Be fruitful and
multiply,” He invoked into them the power to multiply,
the power to increase mightily and to spread. He did
it with words. He did the same thing after He created
man. Genesis 1:27 says, “…God created man in his
own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.”
Then in verse twenty-eight, we read that He
blessed them saying, “…Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl
of the air, and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth.” Observe that God created man in
His own image, and likeness. That means He created
man to look like Him (in His image), and to function
like Him (in His likeness).
Therefore, since God creates and blesses with
words, it means we have the ability, and are required
to function like Him. We bless and create with our
words. Your words are so important. Only say things
that are consistent with the will and purpose of God
for your life.
Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the
power of the tongue….” Use your tongue to speak
blessings, creative and corrective words, words of
peace, health, and prosperity. Bless, that is, invoke
the power of multiplication, increase, fruitfulness, and
productivity into your finances, your business, and
other areas of your life with words. God has given
you a wholesome tongue (Proverbs 15:4), to create
or recreate the circumstances of your life to align with
His destiny and perfect will for you. Keep yourself in
the transcendent life with words.
