Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.’

DAILY READING   Acts 16:1-15; Judges 2-3; Job 34–

The Great Chicago Fire  is the most destructive fire ever witnessed in America. From October 8 to October 10, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire burned out of control, quickly spreading far and wide across the city, destroying many homes and businesses.

The following morning after the fire, a group of merchants stood on the Street, looking at the smoking remains of what had been their stores. They went into a conference to decide if they would try to rebuild, or leave Chicago and start over in a more promising section of the country. Finally they reached a decision to leave Chicago, except for one man . While others decided to relocate to other cities, this one merchant decided to stay back and rebuild. His name was Marshall Fields. He pointed a finger at the remains of his store, and said to the other merchants, “Gentlemen, on that very spot I will build the world’s greatest store, no matter how many times it may burn down.” And this he eventually did.

Though the great Chicago Fire had left Marshall Field’s store in ashes, along with thousands of dollars in merchandise, despite the tremendous misfortune, he began reconstruction. At first he temporarily set up business in a large barn, there he operated until the store was built again in 1872. Business grew again, as Field offered a wide range of goods, many of them imported from Europe. Later, the company set up its own factories to make many of the items sold in the store. Going into the 1890s, Field dominated the department store business in Chicago. He introduced several policies copied by stores around the nation, such as free delivery and an easy return policy. Field helped popularize the idea that “the customer is always right.” The store became a tourist attraction for people who had never seen a department store with such splendor. By 1905, Marshall Field was the largest individual taxpayer in the United States. And he would eventually become the richest man in Chicago and one of the richest men in America.

It is amazing the power that are in words. Our words have creative power. When Marshal Field spoke those words despite the ruins that surrounded him, power was released for accomplishment. The truth is that when we declare something we are giving it the right to come to pass.

Mark 11:23 says “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.’

Jesus said that you will have whatever you say. Therefore if we desire to see glory this year we must be mindful to speak right words. When you speak you are prophesying your future. You are the prophet over your life. Christ in you is the hope of glory and Christ is the Word of God. So it is the speaking forth of God’s word that will birth glory in our lives. Therefore in every situation let us only speak words that are in line with God’s promise of manifesting glory though us.

Revelation 12:11 lets us know we overcome by the words of our testimony. We will gain victory over every battle that comes our way this season by continually speaking the words of faith. Despite what comes your way keep declaring that you will see the glory of God. Words control your destiny. And we must realize that we are responsible for what happens to us because of the words we speak. To see glory you need to speak glory. When you speak you are calling forth those things that be not as if they were. And what you say is what you see. Nothing happens till you speak. With the heart man believes, but it is with the mouth that confession is made unto salvation. It is therefore not enough to just believe you will see glory, begin to declare it. When you speak angels go to work; favor begins to look for you, blessings seek you out, good breaks find you.  Truly the miracle is in your mouth. Therefore don’t be intimidated by how ruinous things may seem around you, you have the power within you to change things. It doesn’t matter where you may have been burned in the past, this is your year to see beauty for ashes. The more you speak the more things are taking shape around you, Be unwavering in your confession, it is only a matter of time before you see a manifestation. Keep declaring the glory of God in your life, because what you say is what you will eventually see.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always speak right. In every situation please grant me the grace to always speak only that which is in line with Your Word. Surely I will see Your glory manifested in my life this year in Jesus Name. .
