THE WORD ON YOUR LIPS

THE WORD ON YOUR LIPS

For with the heart man believeth unto 

righteousness; and with the mouth 

confession is made unto salvation 

(Romans 10:10).

It’s  not  enough  to  know  God’s  Word  as  it’s 

contained in the written pages of the Bible; you 

have to release power through speaking! That’s how 

it works! With the Word on your lips, you’ll live over 

and above all limitations and circumstances. 

Voicing  your  faith  is  a  fundamental  spiritual 

principle,  without  which  even  the  gift  and  blessing 

of  salvation  can’t  be  received  or  activated.  Notice 

the  opening  verse  again:  “For  with  the  heart  man 

believeth  unto  righteousness;  and  with  the  mouth 

confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:10). 

The salvation package is delivered upon satisfying 

these  two  conditions:  Believing  and  confessing  the 

Lordship  of  Jesus.  To  believe  isn’t  enough;  there 

must be the corresponding verbal communication or 

affirmation of your faith. 

When you speak the Word, what you’re doing is 

releasing the power of God into action on your behalf. 

For  example,  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 Hebrew rendering of the word “meditate” is 

“hagah,” which means to ponder, imagine, murmur, 

mutter,  speak,  study,  talk,  utter,  or  roar.  It’s  not  just 

talking  about  you  thinking  the  Word  only,  it  means 

you ought to voice out the Word. 

Notice that the instruction to Joshua doesn’t make 

any mention of us speaking to anyone. So, it makes no 

difference whether or not anyone is listening to you, 

you just keep talking the Word. When matters arise, 

use the Word. Speak the Word and change things. The 

Word of God in your mouth is God talking.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for faith is stirred in my spirit 

to  change  my  world  and  transform  circumstances 

for your glory. I believe in the unsearchable riches 

of  Christ  and  all  He’s  done  for  me,  and  therefore 

affirm that I walk in righteousness, victory, health, 

peace, progress and prosperity all my days, in Jesus’ 

Name. Amen.
