Nothing Happens Until You Say Something

Title: Nothing happens until you say something

Scripture: “Let there be light and there was light” – Genesis 1:3

Do you know everything around you has ears? Take look at the following scriptures:

The Earth: O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. – Jer. 22:29
The Plant: Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered. – Matthew 21:19
The Fish of the Sea: And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land – Jonah 2:10
The Sun and Moon : On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.” – Joshua 10:12
A Rock: “…Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water…” – Numbers 20:8
The Bird of the Air: The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. – 1 Kings 17:6
The Sky : Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months. And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. James 5:17 -18

The scriptures above show the tremendous power of words.It one of the key component that brought the heavens and earth into existence. Every word we speak has the potential to work in our favour or against us because everything around us has ears, “For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37). As God representatives on earth and heaven’s Ambassador our tremendous authority, more than we have ever used. We must take conscious effort daily to speak into the atmosphere and decree what we want to see. Failure to speak is simple accepting the status what is as the norm. if you want to see something different then you have to say something. What are you saying into your world today?

We are all products of the words we have heard, whether positive that builds us up or negative that to tear us down (John 6:63). The strength of our faith is shown in the words we speak. The devil being a legal expert wants to trap us in our words (Proverbs 6:2). I discover that every word I speak is a Prayer without assuming the prayer posture.I believe that today many Christians are living defeated lives because of their words. Have you become snared by what comes out of your mouth? Do you talk negatively about your health, your job, your finances, or your family and it just drags you down that much more?

What we say can make the difference between success and failure, therefore say something positive today. You have the choice of what words you live by. Romans 10:8 says the “word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is the word of faith we are proclaiming.” We have been given authority to speak God’s words in His name. Christianity is not a magic formula with a button and make things happen. It is not saying superficial words that have no substance. It won’t hold up under the test of time. But the scripture gives us principals to follow that will help us to develop our faith, so we are planting for a good harvest by words. Change is made with words.
