True Confession Of The Word
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who
quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who
before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession
(1 Timothy 6:13).
The word “Confession” here, is translated from
the Greek word “Homologia,” which means
to speak the same thing in consent. Confessing the
Word means you agree with, and say what the Word
of God says about you, Himself, your world or anyone
or situation.
Why is it so important that we confess the Word
boldly? It’s because our confessions are or create
realities. Jesus said, “You shall have what you say”
(Mark 11:23). What are the things you’re supposed to
say? They’re the same things God has already declared
in Scriptures.
Hebrews 13:5-6 says, “…for he hath said…So that
we may boldly say….” The reason He said what He
said is so that we may boldly say the same thing. God’s
Word isn’t for you to hear and be quiet; you respond
by saying the same thing. That’s true confession of
the Word. God gave you the Word so you’ll boldly
proclaim it.
Someone might ask, “Must I say it?” Emphatically
yes! Otherwise, you’ll never experience the vital reality
of the Word of God in your life. It’s the way to get your
spirit to take a hold of the Word to become a reality
in your life. The Christian life is lived by words; it’s for
talkers; talkers of the Word.
Perhaps you know someone who’s been attacked
by cancer, diabetes or any kind of sickness; advise
them not to keep quiet! They should have “talking
sessions.” You say, “What if they’re too weak to talk?”
Let them mutter or even whisper: “I have the life of
God in me; the Spirit that raised up Jesus from the
dead lives in me; therefore, my whole body is vitalized
and energized with divine life. No sickness can stay in
my body. The presence of God’s Spirit destroys every
trace of sickness and disease in my body.”
If they mutter it long enough, it’ll turn into a shout,
and soon enough they’ll bounce off that sickbed. God’s
Word is medicine. It cures every infirmity and keeps
you in divine health.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for the victorious and prosperous life
I have in Christ. I live in health and in glory every day, because
of your grace and righteousness in me. You’ve blessed me in
all things, and with all things; therefore, I’m forever grateful!
I’m guided by your wisdom to walk in, and fulfil your perfect
will for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
