In recent times, most people, when they desperately want something, will say words like, “I am dying for the piece of cake!”. Few will say, “I am living for that piece of cake!”

Sadly, many people are quick to mention death when things go wrong. Yet, the truth is that every word you speak has power- to build or destroy hopes and dreams, to restore or cause loss, to bring fright or despair, to bless or curse-for God’s Word says that death and life are in the power of the tongue.

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21

So stop lining your words up with the negative circumstances. Instead, start lining your words up with God’s Word and release the power of His Word to work for you.

How can you use your words positively?

For example, instead of speaking of lack and poverty, say, “God’s Word tells me that the good things are already here. I therefore pronounce my life blessed. I pronounce my life successful. I declare my life great. Darkness, gloom, poverty and sickness, defeat and depression, will not be in my life!”

Instead of saying sickness and death, say, l will live long. I will not die young. Jesus died young for me so that I can live long for Him. I am the righteousness of God in Christ, and God’s Word declares that no evil will come on me now and in the future!”

Instead of speaking fear over your children, say, “God’s Word declares that the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Therefore, my children are delivered from every curse, every power of darkness and every evil. In the name of Jesus, l call forth a great, bright and blessed future for my children!”

God wants you to have a life filled with good days and an abundance of every good thing. So say, “In the name of Jesus, l command blessings, favor, health, provision, protection, dominion and power to fill my life!”
