Recently, i’ve had cause to speak with a number of young people, one on one. During one of those sessions, i spoke with a lady who wanted to grow spiritually. I shared some things with her and gave her some assignments involving bible study, praying the Pauline prayers, etc. Then i encouraged her about the power of words in achieving your goal. I gave her some confession write-ups and i’ll like to share one of them with you today.
Words are powerful. we create our world with our words, we are ensnared by the words of our mouths. We create an atmosphere for things to happen, positive or negative, by our words and so we need to consciously make the things we desire happen by speaking them into existence. Faith speaks; if you believe, you’ll speak till manifestation comes. The write up is a personalized version of Deuteronomy 28:1-14. Here goes:
1 If I fully obey the LORD my God and carefully follow all his commands He gives me today, the LORD my God will set me high above all the nations on earth.
2 All these blessings will come upon me and accompany me if I obey the LORD my God:
3 I will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of my womb will be blessed, and the crops of my land and the young of my livestock—the calves of my herds and the lambs of my flocks.
5 My basket and my kneading trough will be blessed.
6 I will be blessed when I come in and blessed when I go out.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against me will be defeated before me. They will come at me from one direction but flee from me in seven.
8 The LORD will send a blessing on my barns and on everything I put my hand to. The LORD my God will bless me in the land he is giving me.
9 The LORD will establish me as his holy people, as he promised me on oath, if I keep the commands of the LORD my God and walk in his ways.
10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that I am called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear me.
11 The LORD will grant me abundant prosperity—in the fruit of my womb, the young of my livestock and the crops of my ground—in the land he swore to my forefathers to give me.
12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on my land in season and to bless all the work of my hands. I will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
13 The LORD will make me the head, not the tail. If I pay attention to the commands of the LORD my God that He gives me this day and carefully follow them, I will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
14 I will not turn aside from any of the commands you give me today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.} else {
