“The sower soweth the word” Mark 4:14 (KJV)
According to the book of Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” You are either speaking death or you are speaking life. There is no middle line. You cannot speak life when you don’t have life inside you. As a matter of fact, I will be surprised if you are able to bring out life when you don’t have life inside you. Every seed produces after its kind. It is a law of life. Tomato seed will produce tomato. Corn seed will produce corn. Yam seed will produce yam. Rice seed will produce rice. I do not expect you to produce good fruit when what you have is a bad one.
So, the question is: What have you been feeding on? Do you want to be successful? Change what you have been feeding on. It is time to feed on the Word of God. Read your bible! Listen to good messages. This is the time to glue yourself to the Word. You see, God is speaking, and the devil is also speaking. The choice is yours who you choose to listen to. The days of magicians are over! This is the time to feed on the Word of God because it is only the word of God that will sustain you. God’s Word is a seed. Wherever you plant the seed of the Word, it will produce. Why? Every seed produces after its kind.
Though he didn’t look like it, Abraham believed the Word of God and began to call himself what God has called him. Can you imagine Abraham and his wife running around the house and calling themselves father of nations and mother of nations? What were they doing? They were speaking life. And what they spoke produced for them. ” As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickens the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be ” (Romans 4:17-18 KJV).
The Word will produce in the circumstances of your life. Like Abraham and Sarah, call yourself what God calls you. declare the Word, in season and out of season.
