KEEP SPEAKING IT Joshua 1:1-9
Devotional:- “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (V. 8) NKJV
The word only becomes potent as you keep speaking it. This is because the force that carries out the word hears you as though you have decreed. Our words are powerful because they are the expression of our spirit (Matthew 12:34). Until the word is spoken, it remains unfulfilled.
God says to Joshua that he should not let the word depart from his mouth. This is the way to be a carrier of the power of God. Most people today always put the worldly vocabularies in their mouth. God do not expect this to be our lifestyle as His children. The word of God says, we should bless and not curse (Romans 12:14). The word of God says life and death are in the power of our mouth (Proverbs 18:21). The word of God says, we shall be judged by our words (Matthew 12:36-37).
Always put the word of God in your mouth. Make it your vocabulary. Stop speaking your challenges; start to speak the word of God to your situations. That way, you will impose the word of God over your situation and effect a positive change. The devil always wants us to keep speaking our problems. The angels around us will only carry out what they hear us speak (Numbers 14:28; Ecclesiastic 5:6). So, no matter what you may be going through, keep speaking the word of God and the word will prevail in your life (Acts 19:20). Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, give me the courage to keep speaking your word notwithstanding.
“YOUR WORD IS YOUR AUTHORITY”
