SALVATION IN YOUR MOUTH

“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” ~ Romans 10:10   REFERENCE: Romans 10:6-11   We often seek the transformation of our situation from sources outside ourselves; however, the enemy to contend with is the ‘inner-me.’ Many people are involuntarily the architects of their misfortune in life, marriage, children, or business; they have sabotaged their destiny with the words of their mouth. Our text shows that by confession, ‘there is salvation in your mouth.’ Moses introduced us to this principle in the Old Testament. He said to the Israelites, “It is not...

HAND OVER YOUR MOUTH

“If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.” ~ Proverbs 30:32 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Proverbs 30:32 (KJV)   James wrote a treatise on the power of the tongue; he detailed how, like a horse, the tongue is wild by nature. He said that if a man can mind what he says or control his tongue, he will be a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body and order his life aright. He talked about how difficult it is to tame the tongue and how, like a little...

WORDS ARE SPIRIT

"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." ~ John 6:63   REFERENCE: John 6:63   We live in a world of tangibles; hence, we respond to and place value on tangible things. For that reason, we often unconsciously disregard the place of invisible and intangible materials, yet scripture and experience prove their existence. Hebrews 11 says the things we see today are a product of intangible things…yes, the immaterial was the raw material for the material. The immaterial raw material that God used to...

TONGUE BEFORE TOUCH

“For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”” ~ Mark 5:28   REFERENCE: Mark 5:25-34   We have been looking at how one’s life can be satisfied by what comes out of the mouth. What comes out of a man’s mouth can greatly affect his life for the better or worse. Jesus said, “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” A well-deployed tongue can determine what a person touches or experiences in life. Your life is in your mouth. Solomon said, “…the tongue of the wise promotes...

SATISFIED BY WORDS 2

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." ~ Proverbs 18:21   REFERENCE: Proverbs 18:20-25   A man's words will satisfy his life in any area of life he so desires such satisfaction. Words are like seeds; they bear fruits after their kind. The law of seeds in Galatians also applies to words: "A man's harvest in life will be solely determined by the seeds he has sown." If he has sown the right 'word-seeds', he will have harvests that will bring pleasure and satisfaction to him. Having revealed that...

SATISFIED BY WORDS

"A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled." ~ Proverbs 18:20   REFERENCE: Proverbs 18:20-25   Our text is quite interesting; it reveals that you can be satisfied by words. To be satisfied is to be adequately supplied, have your expectations met, and fulfill a need or desire. Solomon said that our words produce fruits that can satisfy us in every area of life. However, he did not limit its qualification to just positive or negative words; whichever you choose will satisfy you. There is a connection...

THE POWER OF HUNGER

“The person who labors, labors for himself, for his hungry mouth drives him on.” ~ Proverbs 16:26   REFERENCE: Proverbs 16:26   Jesus Christ made a universal statement about the power of hunger when He said, “Blessed are those who hunger…for…they shall be filled.” Hunger is a force that the universe cannot deny but respond to by supplying what it desires. Hunger represents a strong desire or craving for anything, an attractive force that drives the hungry to satisfy their hunger. Other words like desire, craving, longing, and yearning describe hunger. Have you seen a baby hungry for his mother’s milk?...

DON’T JUST SIT, MOVE!

“Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?””- II Kings 7:3   REFERENCE: II Kings 7:1-8   You can’t move when you sit and think you can’t move. That is life for you. Many people are so paralyzed by the analysis of the likely unfavorable outcomes if they move that they have just decided to sit and hope that things improve. Yet, inactivity is responsible for most failures in life. If you want to live a life of progress and success, don’t...

REST IN ME

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." ~ Matthew 11:28    REFERENCE: Matthew 11:25-30   I have been hearing, 'Rest in Me,' in my spirit, and recently, in our church service, a word of prophecy came after a worship session; the substance of the message is God saying, "Rest in Me, My people." What encouraging and reassuring words, as many people find age-long support systems fail them! Today's temptation is to double one's hustle, but God says rest. The toughness of the times can drag people to the precipice of...

HE EMPOWERS TO PROSPER

"And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth." ~ Deuteronomy 8:18   REFERENCE: Deuteronomy 8:11-18   Having led Israel from slavery through the desert to a land flowing with milk and honey, Moses could confidently conclude that God is the one who empowers us to prosper. To rise above the present global economic difficulty, you must make God your source; look beyond your salary, network of friends, business, or organization. God holds the key to your fortune; He only uses the channels I mentioned as vehicles to supply your needs; He can bypass...
