Speak Life Always
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and
they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof
(Proverbs 18:21).
Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue
is a tree of life: but perverseness therein
is a breach in the spirit.” The things you say are so
important; you can make or mar your life with the
words you speak. The current situation that you find
yourself in, whether good or bad, is the result of the
words you’ve spoken in the past. Jesus said you shall
have whatsoever you say (Mark 11:23). So, endeavour
to always say the right things, particularly, things that
are consistent with the divine life that you received in
Christ Jesus.
Look at our opening verse again; it says, “Death
and life are in the power of the tongue….” You
can bring death into your life, family, business and
finances, if all you think and talk about all the time is
death. Likewise, you can speak life into your body and
circumstances, and be full of health and life.
A dear lady shared her testimony in one of our
meetings. She had been in a terrible state, and wanted
to die because of her condition. She’d been involved
in a ghastly accident and was in a coma, but she could
hear everything going on around her. She heard the
doctor talking about her prognosis, which was very
bad, and she wanted to die because she thought
she would never be normal again. While she was
contemplating death, God said to her, “You cannot
die now,” and she thought, “What?”
Then in her spirit, she heard the Lord say, “If
you really want to die, it’ll take you some time. You’d
have to reverse the order, because you’ve spoken so
much life prior to this time; therefore, to die, you’d
have to start talking death to undo the life you’ve been
speaking.” Hallelujah! The power of our words!
It’s so important for you to speak life always.
The Bible says, “For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”
(Matthew 12:37)
Confession
Eternal life is at work in me. I’m full of life; my entire being is
inundated with divine life and energy. I’ve passed from death
unto life. I am the glory of God, a life-giver, and dispenser of
eternal verities! Hallelujah!
