TALK RIGHT AND LIVE RIGHT


For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


Your destiny is in your mouth. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Also, Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life....” A wholesome tongue is one that talks right, that speaks God’s Word. Nothing is more wholesome than the Word of God.


Proverbs 6:2 says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” This describes the precarious situation many have found themselves in life. They’ve been bound by their own words. They speak carelessly and against the Word because they’ve not been taught right.


If you’ve been taught right, you’ll think right and talk right. In the realm of the spirit, words rule. Words are everything. God created the entire universe by the energy of words, and He gave us the same ability to build and create with words.


Your life today is the summation of your words. So, if you want a better life than what you have right now, you must change the course of your words, making sure they’re faith-filled and consistent with God’s divine provisions in the Gospel.


Proverbs 18:20 says, “A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.” If you don’t want to be sick, broke, weak and despondent, then use your mouth right; speak God’s Word.


The Lord Jesus taught on the power and importance of the spoken word—the Word on your lips. In Mark 11:23 He said you shall have what you say. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” 


It brings to mind what the Apostle Paul said in Romans 10:10 in showing us the principle of salvation: “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Talk right and you’ll live right. Whatever you believe and voice out with your mouth will control your life. This is a law of the spirit, and it’s immutable.


               PRAYER 


Through my faith-filled words, I create whatsoever I desire; I walk in divine health, protection, peace and prosperity. I live above the elements and debilitating forces of this world because I live in Christ, seated with Him far above Satan and the wicked forces of darkness. I reign triumphantly over all the negativities of life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


Romans 10:9-10; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


Mark 11:22-23; And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.


Proverbs 18:20 AMPC  A man’s [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
