Topic: Use Your Mouth Profitably [TREM Devotional 18 January 2019]
“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.” Mark 11:23 KJV
Using your mouth profitably is very crucial in obtaining victory over anything that upsets you. There is power in the word you speak. Therefore, learn to use your mouth to carve your life. Use your mouth to chart the cause of your life. Use your mouth profitably. Declare what God says concerning whatever the devil is doing. Look at him eyeball to eyeball and declare it. Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruit thereof.
How do you use your mouth? Jesus looked at that fig tree and spoke. He didn’t pray! He only opened His mouth and said “No man eat the fruit of thee hereafter for ever”(Mark 11:14 KJV). And that was it! He kept going as if nothing happened. And the Bible says that after He declared it the tree dried up from the root. Nobody saw the leaves dry up but something had already taken place under. When you declare the Word of God with faith and confidence, I tell you that it is just a matter of time. It will shock you what happens afterwards.
Stop complaining. God didn’t say complain! He said to speak! Complaining is not speaking. He said to speak to the mountain. ‘If thou shall believe and not doubt in your heart you shall have whatsoever you say.’ When last did you speak about that raging storm in your life? Stop complaining and start speaking. That is what is called profitable use of your mouth, knowing that death and life are inside your mouth. You can bless with it. You can also curse with it. Rise up and speak to your situation. Speak to your body. Speak to your womb. Speak to your job and to your business.
