Title: The Power Of Your Words
Memorize: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:19-37 (Nkjv)
[19] And he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
[20] When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
[21] And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went out.

Message:
Your words are powerful, and whatever you declare with your mouth can become your reality.
There is a saying that ‘your confession is your possession.’
Hence, you must be careful of the things you say to yourself, other people, and about your situation.
Negative confessions and words should not proceed from your mouth, even as jokes.
My dear child, do not condemn yourself through words. Instead, use your words to shape your destiny.
Whatever you say is backed up in the spirit realm to produce results.
For example, no matter what happens around me, I always declare that “my tomorrow shall be alright.”
You too can speak to any situation. You can declare that your tomorrow will be great, regardless of what you may be going through today.
Beloved, speaking negative words can destroy God’s plan for your life.
Therefore, do not allow negative words proceed out of your mouth.
Always confess positive things into your life.
Action Point:
For the next ten minutes, declare positive things into your life, family, academics, and future.
HYMN 2: I AM THINE O LORD
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
and it told Thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith,
and be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where Thou hast died;
draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
by the pow’r of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
and my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain]
3 O, the pure delight of a single hour
that before Thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain]
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
till I cross the narrow sea;
there are heights of joy that I may not reach
till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]
