Your mouth wasn’t given to you for eating and talking only. It’s the tool with which you chart your course in life. Letting us know the power and importance of your words, Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” What you say with your mouth will affect the course of your destiny, positively or negatively. The quality of your life today is the direct result of your tongue-work. Your talk is your destiny. How important this is!

 

The difference between the man who’s born again and the one who’s not, for example, isn’t that one goes to church and the other doesn’t. Rather, it’s majorly the fact that the one who is born again has said something with his mouth, which the man who isn’t born again is yet to say. The Bible says “…with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:10).

 

The one who is born again believed with his heart, and confessed with his mouth the Lordship of Jesus according to the Scriptures, and that catapulted him into salvation. As it’s true for being born again, so it is for enjoying the benefits of salvation. Health, prosperity, joy, peace, success and victory are all yours according to the Bible, but you won’t enjoy them unless you confess with your mouth that they are yours. Confession is speaking the same things with God in consent; believing what He has said about you and speaking forth the same.

 

It’s not enough to believe that what God says belongs to you is yours; you’ve got to say it. What you say with your mouth determines the direction of your life. You are today the harvest of your tongue-work. If perchance you’re not satisfied with your present state of life, then you must change your talk. Begin to talk right. Refuse to think and talk negatively. Talk yourself up, and talk you way forward. Chart your course in the direction of God’s perfect will for your life with your tongue.
