THE POWER OF WORDS.
“A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
Matthew 12:35-37

Words are the engines propelling us toward our next life milestone. They serve as vessels of the spiritual, shaping the reality we envision when uttered. Reflecting our divine origin, we are called to emulate the creative power of God Himself. Just as God spoke the universe, both visible and invisible, into existence, so do we wield the authority of words. Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Thus, every believer possesses a voice—a voice of triumph, guiding us toward the abundant blessings God intends for us.
When God speaks, He does so with the certainty that what He declares already exists. Similarly, we're called to mirror His approach, speaking into existence the reality we believe in. Within our words reside either faith or fear, revealing our capacity to either move mountains or soar to spiritual heights. Romans 4:17 “as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.”
The believer's true strength resides not in their wealth, but in the power of their words. These words are the conduits through which blessings flow, making them pivotal in the manifestation of God's favor. Therefore, it is paramount to anchor our faith in God and to speak words that align with His divine will and promises.
Confession:
I speak right words, therefore, I declare, I am blessed and highly favored of the Lord, I excel in all I do and I reign as a king in life. Hallelujah.
