Proverbs 18;21  ‘Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

In December 2009, a Turkish newspaper reported that Researchers had found seeds that were over 4000 years old. The 4,000-year-old seeds were found during an archaeological dig in the Aegean city of Kütahya in western Turkey. A team of archeologists were conducting an excavation in the district of Kütahya when they found a container holding seeds, many of which were burned and useless. However, three seeds they found were not damaged, and they began carrying out research on these seeds. For the next two years their attempts to germinate these seeds had failed, but in 2011,  one of the three seeds germinated.  Scientists have been closely studying this germinated seed of a plant which had existed centuries ago.  Through analysis of the characteristics of the plants, they hope to achieve a scientific breakthrough.

It is indeed amazing that these seeds would still be alive, and could germinate after four thousand years. But that shows us the power embedded in a seed.

Luke 8:11 tells us that The Word of God is the seed. And the seed of God’s Word, contains the power of God.  When we declare the counsel of God over situations, the power in the word causes it to germinate and bear fruit.  Power for accomplishment is released whenever we speak God’s Word. Indeed God watches over His Word to perform it.

The truth is that you can change your world through your words. Start to boldly confess God’s Word. Use the words you speak to move forward in life, to bring to life the great things God has in store for you. Instead of speaking about your mountains, speak to them. Speak light to the dark places of your life. Speak life to the dead places.  Learn to speak blessings over your life, your family, your future. A blessing is not a blessing until it is spoken. Concerning your health, family, finances, keep declaring The Word of God. Indeed there is power in your mouth.

Though, sometimes it may initially seem as if nothing is happening if we persist in speaking, The seed of the Word will eventually take root and germinate. No matter how discouraging the situation, keep declaring The Word of God. Just like a tree being cut down, the initial blow may not bring it down, but if you persist and never give up, consequent blows will eventually bring it down. Each time you speak, power for fulfillment is being released. God’s Spirit dwells in His Word. Thus, when we say, ‘It is written,’ the Spirit of  God goes forth with the word, to confront and overcome the challenge. The Word will surely work for you.  According to John 1:1 God and His Word are the same. Therefore whatever cannot stop God, cannot stop His Word from having its way in your life.

PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me the grace to always plant the right seeds, through speaking  the right words. As I keep declaring Your Word, I thank You for a rich harvest of the good things You have planned for my life in Jesus Name. .
