Psalms 19:14 NKJV “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

You must have heard of the Miranda warning, “You have the right to remain silent when questioned. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.” What many of us haven’t realized is that every single day, the words we speak are working for or against us in the court of life! How I wish we consult the word before speaking!
It’s not only in the day of judgment that our words would matter; even here, even now! It has always mattered. Apostle Peter said that “he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.” You can actually determine the quality of life you’d have! Your life is a fulfilment of all the words you’ve been speaking!!! You’ve been prophesying all your life and they have been coming to pass!
Mind what you say! James 3:2 says, “For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.” Some words should never come out of your mouth whether you are joking or not, or even when you are afraid. Your job is not responsible for how your life is or will be; the government of the day isn’t responsible either; I don’t care if the Naira is getting stronger or weaker, or if the price of crude oil is crashing: God responds to your words! Job 22:29 says, “When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’ Then He will save the humble person.” Say it and God will do it! Keep saying it and God will keep doing it! Hallelujah!
