THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS
TEXT: PROVERBS 6:2, 13:2-3, 18:20-21; MATTHEW 12:33-37; JOHN 1:19-23; JEREMIAH 32:24b.

Power means ability to act or do work. When we talk of the power or your words, we means the word of your mouth has the propensity to produce results or effects in your life. The world system is voice or word activated. Life or world system runs on words. (Heb. 11:3)
What you say determines what life will deliver to your hands. The quality and the magnitude of your words are what will determine what comes to you.
The man or woman with the word backed by higher authority is the one that will get victory over the battle of life. David overcame Goliath because of the quality and intensity of the word of his mouth. 1 Sam. 42-47; Acts 19:20.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS

1. The word of your mouth is a matter of your choice. Prov. 18:20-21.
2. God is mindful of the word you speak with your mouth and He said He will do according to what you say. Num. 14:28.
3. The word that comes out of your mouth is a product of what you have on your inside. Your content determines your product. Matt.12:34-35.
4. Watch the words that proceed out of your mouth. Be careful about careless and flippant words. Matt. 12:36.
5. Every word you speak has the potentiality of producing fruits. If it is a positive word, it will produce positive fruits; and if it is negative, it will produce negative fruits. Prov. 13:2, 18:20-21.
6. The key to having a positive and effective word is by embracing the word of God and allowing the word to dwell richly inside you. Col. 3:16.
