RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL SATURDAY 16 THEME: POWER THROUGH WORDS That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Romans 10:9-10 Its not enough to know the Word of God in your heart; you have to speak it forth as well-thats how it works! God instructed Joshua, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8). The original Hebrew rendering of the word meditate is hagah, which means to ponder, roar, imagine, murmur, mutter, speak, talk, or utter. Its much more than thinking the Word; you have to voice it! The opening verse shows us that speaking out what you believe is a fundamental spiritual principle without which the gift of salvation cant be received. The salvation package is delivered upon satisfying two conditions: the first is believing, while the second is the confession of that which youve believed. Both work together for salvation to be complete. In the same way, to live the glorious life in Christ, where you enjoy all the benefits of salvation, you must keep the Word in your mouth always. You must believe and speak. Some people find themselves in unpleasant situations and say, I believe the Word of God, but I dont know why things arent working out right for me. Believing the Word alone will not change anything, until you start using your mouth right, by speaking what you believe. Your mouth was given to you to create your future and your victorious life. Your life goes in the direction of your confession. You have to say what you want in life. Even now, speak the Word about your family, job, business, academics, health, etc. Release the dynamic power to effect the changes you desire by speaking forth faith-filled words. PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word-the infallible instruction manual- for the successful and victorious life in Christ! I live in health, victory, and peace; and Im making progress with giant strides, as I live in your Word, conscious of its power and ability to transform my life and cause me to excel from glory to glory, in Jesus Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 10:11 Proverbs 15:23 1 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN: 1 Corinthians 1 Psalms 104-106 2 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN: Philippians 3:12-21 Jeremiah 1
