_WORDS—YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET_

Sunday, June 1st, 2025. 

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc. Dsc. DD. 

```For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37).```

Not realizing their value and power, many misuse words. They don’t speak correctly. Speaking correctly means speaking in consonance with the Word of God; saying what God has said. Hebrews 13:5-6 says, _*“...for he hath said…So that we may boldly say….”*_ Words are “things”; they’re living; they’re powerful; they’re creative. Words shape destinies, define realities, and determine outcomes. 

If you want to understand why your life is the way it is, review your words; listen to yourself. The words you speak determine your health, your appearance, and even your future. Your thoughts and words shape not just your life but even your physical appearance. That’s because words are thoughts clothed in vocabulary, and every person is a reflection of their thoughts.

Therefore, if words are an expression of thoughts, then your words reveal your character. No one can live beyond the character of their words; your words define you. Have you seen people who constantly look worried, even when they’re not frowning? Their faces carry the imprint of their thoughts and words. Their health, their emotions, and even their physical features are affected by what they’ve been saying and thinking. That’s because your words are the forces that mould your life.

When you speak words of faith, victory, power, success and divine health, your life will align with those words. Proverbs 15:4 says, _*“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life….”*_ Proverbs 18:21 declares, _*“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”*_ 1 Peter 3:10 takes it to a climax; it says, _*“For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.”*_ Speak the right words, for you’re what you say. What you say is what you get (Mark 11:23). Praise God!

              

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for the power of words and the ability to speak and shape my future in line with your perfect will. My words are filled with faith, strength and divine wisdom, bringing health to my body, joy to my spirit and success to my path. I walk in victory always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY* 

*|| Proverbs 18:21 AMPC Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. ||*

*|| James 3:5-6 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. ||*

*|| Mark 11:23 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. ||*

_“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”_
