There is power and potency in the spoken word.
The things we see were made and are as a result
of the spoken word that came from God before
they came into being. Our lives are therefore
shaped by the words we speak and what we
believe. The words we speak have the power to
create the kind of world we desire because we
end up possessing what we confess by our
mouth.
This being so, we must be cautious and careful
about the words that come forth from our lips.
And much as we quote the word of God, we
must first believe and be convinced about the
promises found in the Bible. Believing is seeing
things from God’s perspective. It is aligning
yourself with the word of God and what it
proclaims about your life. It is being totally
persuaded and convinced of the reliability,
potency and the power that what God has said
is irreversible. It is also putting your faith in
God.

The potency of what you are saying is locked
up in what you believe. That is where the
power to breakthrough lies. You are only able
to walk in victory when you believe in the word
of God. It is what you choose to believe in
when the doctor, the lawyer or the banker
gives you a bad report. Jesus said in Mark
9:23, “All things are possible to him who
believes.” The key word is in ALL things
because when you put the word IMPOSSIBLE in
its right perspective, and in the light of God’s
word, the word becomes I-A-M-POSSIBLE!
The word believing is a Greek word ‘PISTIS’
which is a connotation of a person who is
believing. It isn’t a passive activity. It is,
rather, a paradigm shift from the things we
have been conditioned to from birth,
experience or education. Believing is allowing
God to change our belief system into a lifestyle
that entirely depends on God in faith. Believing
is coming into agreement with God and what
He has said in His Word. It is being actively
engaged in trusting in the word of God. Faith
is a NOW thing because as far as God is
concerned, it is already done.

When God called Abraham and asked him to
leave for a far-away land where God was going
to turn Abraham’s descendants into a great
nation, Abraham did not have a child neither
did he have the land God promised him. Yet
Abraham stepped out of his comfort zone in
faith. (As it is written, “I have made you a
father of many nations.” He is our father in the
sight of God, in whom he believed – the God
who gives life to the dead and calls things that
are not as though they were. Romans 4:17)
As human beings, we are confined and limited
by time. When you are looking at time, God
isn’t confined by such boundaries and
limitations. Our tomorrow and the future is
already in His past and He knows the end from
the beginning. May you go out into the coming
the week and month, knowing that God has
already handed you victory. Grow and develop
your faith, keep believing, confess the
promises of the word of God and may you
possess it in Jesus name!
