6 So we may boldly say: ” The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
Heb13:5-6

Watch Your Words
Can make or Mar.
Side with the Lord
Hold on to His Word
Be it near or far.
There is appointed time
A season for everything
Delay is no denial
It’s only a trial
To engineer your triumph.
Forsake not your mercies,
Your Promised Land-
The Land flowing with milk and honey;
The Land that is more than money.
Forsake not your allotted plot
Your breakthrough,
Your inheritance.
Be not like Esau who threw
away his birthright for a pot of stew.

Be not like those who though out of Egypt, still had Egypt in them.

Speak no more like a babe.
“When I was a babe I spoke as one. But when I became an adult I put childish things away. “1Cor13:11
As a man thinks so is he. Think the thoughts of God. Speak the words of God. Say what God has said about you. “For He has said… therefore I can boldly say… “
Be not ensnared by your own words, but be liberated by your words. Be edified by your words and let others be edified by your words. Let your words be seasoned with salt, wholesome, empowering, inspiring, comforting, assuring, faith-filled. Prov6:2, Eph4:29
Be not like the ten spies who failed the test and spoke out of turn.
“Let us go back to Egypt. It would have been better for us to remain slaves. The people in the land are stronger than us. We are not able to overcome them. The land eats up its inhabitants. We were as grasshoppers in our eyes and so were we in their eyes. ” Num13:27-28,31-33
They saw through the enemies’ eyes and not through God’s eyes. They magnified the problem and minimised and undermined the promise.
They spoke doubt and unbelief and cause many to wail and go down with them to an early grave.
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.Josh14:12
Be like Joshua and Caleb who saw possibility in spite of the giants. They knew the giants they saw were a test of their faith and they spoke what they believed and not what they felt or saw. And God was pleased with them. They saw the giants as bread to them and so they turned out to be. They said “If the Lord delight in us, He will give us the Land.” And He gave them the land.
Caleb, after 45 years had passed, still held on to the promise and reminded Joshua when it was the time to distribute the land
Watch what you say
Take a leaf from Caleb:

See yourself and call yourself Good Success despite the failure or seeming failure you see in the natural. See through the eyes of God and assure yourself that God does not make failures or sponsor flops. Your time is coming. You will give thanks. You will give praise.
If you have spoken out of turn , you can reverse it from today and start speaking in line with the Word of God.
Start acknowledging the good things God has done and is doing in your life. Give Him thanks and praise for His mercies and faithfulness.
