“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they who love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:20 – 21
Our words carry weight. One careless remark can open a wound that lasts a lifetime. One sincere compliment can restore hope.
Today’s verse is telling us that, if the “fruit of the mouth” and the “increase of the lips” be Heavenly, then there is inward contentment; if not, then there is in desolation. Christians who constantly talk doubt, in effect, talk “death.” Those who speak the Word of God speak “life”
We impact the direction of our children’s lives when we speak life and blessing over them. When we tell them of the good that they can do – instead of constantly focusing on the negative – they wake up to the possibilities of God in their lives.
Throughout the Bible, we see the power of blessing. Abraham blessed Isaac who blessed his son, Jacob. When he blessed his twelve sons, his words shaped their destinies and the future of Israel.
When Jacob laid his hand upon each son, those young men were not yet mighty or distinct in any way. However, the words that Jacob spoke in heavenly places were brought into their lives for the unfolding of God’s plan.
We have the power and the privilege to speak words like “I see great potential in you,” “I see a great leader in you,” “You are a difference maker,” “You are a world changer,” or “I see someone who is going to do amazing things.” Those blessings breathe affirmation and hope into our children’s hearts. It makes them stand taller and walk straighter. No matter their ages, never underestimate the power of speaking a blessing over your children.
LET’S PRAY.
May the words that you speak always be filled with the light and life of God to benefit and bless others. This morning Lord, I bless your name for all the battle you are fighting for us, thank you for another day.
I pray this morning my Lord, let all the blessings confiscated by ancestral spirit, satanic agent, witchcraft spirit, principalities, rulers of darkness, evil powers and all spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places be released now, we recover all our blessing back in the name of Jesus Christ.
Every stronghold in your life, stopping good things must perish today in Jesus mighty name. Go and prosper today in Jesus name, Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
