OPEN HEAVENS TOPIC: THE POWER OF WORDS

OPEN HEAVENS MEMORY VERSE

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

OPEN HEAVENS BIBLE TEXT: Hebrews 13:5-6

[5]Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

[6]So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

OPEN HEAVENS MESSAGE

Careless words can drain a Christian’s spiritual battery. When a believer keeps speaking words that are contrary to God’s will for his or her life, such a believer will end up deflating himself or herself spiritually.

When your heart is filled with God’s word, and your words agree with His word, you will remain strong in faith and vibrant in the Spirit.
Psalm 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;”

Do you know why the redeemed of the the Lord must ‘say so’? It is because there is power in what we say. If you are the redeemed of the Lord and you keep speaking the words of the unredeemed, you will reap the fruits of the things you say.

When a believer whose speech should be gracious and seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6) keeps speaking negative and careless words, it is only a matter of time before his or her life starts to look like the negative words that have been spoken.

When things don’t go your way or when the economy looks unfavourable, do not forget that you are the redeemed of the Lord, and as a result, you are programmed for victory. Hence, you should not re-program yourself for failure and defeat through your words.

Fill your heart with the words of God so that His words will continually be on your lips no matter the things or situations that come your way, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45).

If you, however occupy your mind with wrong or negative words, those words will come to play when the storms of life arise. You can’t be bold enough to say that the Lord is your helper when you have not heard and believed that God will never leave you nor forsake you. What you keep hearing is what builds confidence or fear in you.

In any circumstance you find yourself, check what God’s word says concerning it; hold on to the word and speak it into the situation. Ensure that the words on your lips align with what God has said in His word, but to do this, you must fill your heart with His word.

You must ensure that the words of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16). When God’s word fills your heart, your words will be wholesome and full of grace, and your life will truly reflect His glory.

OPEN HEAVENS KEY POINT

Words have the power to create or destroy. Be careful what you say.

Open Heavens Devotional Reflection – October 9th, 2025 by Micromab

Our words shape the atmosphere of our lives. Every time we speak, we either release faith or fear, life or death. As believers, we must ensure that our words align with God’s promises, not our emotions or circumstances.

When you fill your heart with the Word of God, your mouth will naturally speak life. Speak what God has said about you, not what the situation looks like. Constantly declaring God’s truth strengthens your faith and attracts divine results.
