Open HEAVEN Devotional 16th June 2025 Monday Message
When I got married and had children, things were really difficult for me and my young family. However, I would always tell my wife to brace up because things would not remain tough forever. I never allowed any negative confession to come out of my mouth because I knew that they would negatively impact our future. When the Shunammite woman lost her son, she never allowed any negative word to come out of her mouth. All she kept saying was, “It shall be well” and “It is well” (2 Kings 4:23,26). She refused to utter negative words that would aid what the devil was trying to achieve. Instead, she kept speaking what she wanted until everything became well indeed.
Words are very powerful. In Africa, the elders say that they are like an egg, meaning that once they are uttered, their impact cannot be reversed. You must be careful what you say and how you say it. When you speak negative words, the damage they cause may be irreparable, even if you are genuinely sorry about uttering them. Don’t speak when you are extremely angry or very excited because you may say the wrong things. You should also be careful with your words whenever you are sad because there is power in your tongue. The power of life and death lies in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and you must be intentional about the words you speak.
Proverbs 6:2 says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” No matter what happens, always think before you talk. Also, always let your words be in line with God’s word. The word of God is powerful; it can break every negative word that has been spoken over your life and destiny. Jabez was a newborn baby when his mother made a negative pronouncement over him. She set him up for a life of sorrow and hardship because she spoke when she was in pain. Thankfully, Jabez rejected sorrow and hardship by crying to God to bless him, and God turned his life around (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).
Beloved, whatever you say is what you will get; therefore, use your tongue wisely. If you have made negative pronouncements over your life or your children’s lives, ask God for mercy and begin to overwrite them with God’s word. I pray that His word will continually lift you up and bless all that concerns you, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord, please help me to always use my tongue wisely, in Jesus’ name.
