The Power of Your Words!


Proverbs 18: 21 (Contemporary English Version)
“Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say.”

Sitting in the taxi on my way to work last year I was confessing that I would be working another year. I said to myself I will be travelling in this taxi to work with all these people next year. Today I am in the office and my contract has been renewed. I have also said that my salary will increase and that my tithing will increase. I have received an increase in salary actually it was decreased but I decided to increase my tithings. All of a sudden our finances are under major attack. Nevertheless, Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 remind me to call the things not as though they were. I have decided to call my finances in and my job.

I know we have a bad habit of stating negative words over our lives and I want to encourage you today to stop speaking death into your own life. If you desire a change to take place in your life, state the change, believe the change and see the change. No one knew I was confessing my future, no one knew I was praying for a future and a job. God knew and He heard my prayers.

If there was anybody that could complain it must be Job, but in Job Chapter 22 verses 28 Job writes “He will do whatever you ask, and life will be bright.” Have you been asking? I am so grateful that the Lord heard my confession and my words have established a thing, what thing? My job and a future for this year.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, O LORD, thank You for Your loving kindness, thank You LORD for always being there for me. LORD, I want to praise and worship You today. LORD, You are worthy of Praise and Worship. You have given us a second chance and You are always there for us. Praise You LORD, God Almighty. LORD, You are my beginning and my end, my morning, my afternoon and my evening. I LOVE You, LORD, in the Holy Name of the LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
