One of my favourite verses is “Speak things that are not as though they are”. There is a great deal of power in our words. It is said that life and death are found in the power of the tongue. Which of these are you speaking on your life daily? We look for a positive life, yet we unceasingly speak negatively about the situation, our abilities and our circumstances. In the progression of life, the biggest obstacle we face on a daily basis is ourselves.
Our words are seeds that are planted into the world for us to reap the
harvest. Your harvest is based on what
you planted. In the natural if you plant
mango seeds, you will bring forth a mango tree that bears mangoes. However, if your mango tree bears apples, you
would question it. The same thing
applies in the spiritual realm. When we
speak positive things, positivity comes into fruition and the same is
reciprocated with the negative thinking.
Yet negative people are constantly confused when they are unable to
experience positivity. Think of most positive
person you know, they are normally happier than most because their words are
more positive than most. Now think of
the most negative person you know, they would be more miserable than most and
the same is reflected in their words. Now
think of the direst situation imaginable and place both of them in it. The positive person will have a positive outlook
and the negative person will have a negative outlook on the exact same
situation, regardless of the outcome.
What does that mean? All this
simply means is that the situation is not important, but how we look at it is
vital. Now which of these people are
you? How do you view the world? A person with rose Colored glasses on will
naturally only see the world in hues of pink, regardless of it true colour. The same applies to positive and negative
thinking. If your spirit is clothed in negativity,
regardless of your circumstances you will be unhappy. However, if you clothed your spirit in
positive, then every situation will be a blessing and worth praises. When we sing praises, and plant positive
seeds, blessing will indeed fall and new life will bloom. But which hue is your vision?
One way to determine your vision is to listen to the words you speak daily. What are you constantly speaking on? That is your area of focus. Is your tone negative or positive? That is your feelings towards it. Do you speak with confidence or do you speak with defeat? That is the possibility of it happening. We are all made in the image of God, the same God who spoke the world into existence. That same speaking power is within you. He used his words and created this world we are living in. What type of world are you creating with your words? His world is what you see. Your world is what you feel. Are you speaking success or failure into existence? Are you speaking discipline or inaction into existence? Are you speaking prosperity or defeat into existence? You constantly speak things that are not into existence, therefore always speak responsibly.
