(God’s Word renews your mind and produces faith in your heart)
TO THE BIBLE: Matthew 12:36-37 TLB
“And I tell you this, that you must give account on Judgment Day for every idle word you speak. Your words now reflect your fate then: either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned.”
LET’S TALK
“I always fall ill before exams,” Yasmine often said.
“I’ve been meaning to talk to you about this, Yasmine,” Alex interjected one day. “The words you speak matter.”
“What do you mean? I’m just stating the facts,” Yasmine replied.
“Facts are one thing,” Alex said, “but your words shape your reality. You become what you speak, think, and believe.”
Your life is the outworking of all you’ve imbibed in words; your life is a product of words. Human beings were created with words. The physical body was formed from the dust of the ground but the human person— the real you, which is your spirit—was created with words.
To be born again, a man is recreated with words (Romans 10:9-10). Words are so important. As a matter of fact, words are everything. They’re the most potent and important things in the earth. Think about it: the whole universe was created with words.
Your circumstances are a product of words. And if your circumstances have been created for you by others, the only way you can change them is also by words.
Now you can understand why the Bible says, “Take with you words…” (Hosea 14:2). Every time you speak, you shape your life and future; you chart your course. Declare your victories. Have the right words in your mouth.
More than ever, meditate on the Word to help you form the right mindset, because before you can talk right, you must first think right.
God already ordained your triumphant and victorious life; your role is to respond by affirming the same things in consent (Hebrews 13:5-6).
Even now, affirm that you have a great life. Acknowledge and declare that you’re living the life of righteousness, dominion and glory in Christ Jesus.

Speak:
I chart a greater and brighter future for myself with my words. I take my place of dominion and I reign in the Name of Jesus over circumstances through words. I speak the right words only, thereby effecting changes in my family, health, business and ministry. The world is subject to me. I walk in righteousness and produce works of righteousness. Amen.
