=YOUR WORDS ARE CREATIVE SEEDS =
Genesis 1: 3-5 (NIV)
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the
light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called
the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening,
and there was morning—the first day.
In Genesis chapter 1, which some have titled "the book of beginnings", we
see God busy creating things. Throughout this chapter we see Him making
things such as forming the sun and moon, establishing day and night, and
dividing the land and sea. In fact, He makes everything we today know as the
earth and life. Notice this though, God does not lift a finger or move a
foot, but rather He speaks things into being. He speaks, "let there be", and
things come into existence.
When you read on a little bit further in verse 21 He is speaking of the
creation of man in His own image and likeness. Think about this, He created
us in His image and likeness. I believe that in our design, just like in
God's, He gave us the potential to create without using our hands. It is
vital that we understand this reality that "our spoken words create
things".
We saw yesterday that according to Proverbs our words have the potential of
life and death, so let's think more about the life part this morning. Your
words of life, spoken in faith, have the potential to create incredible
things both in life and in people. Every word we speak is like a fertile
seed that can produce a harvest because God made our words to have creative
potential to them. Think of it this way, your tongue is a seed dispenser,
and daily when we speak, we are sowing seeds that will produce a harvest.
Again, I find this sobering that we get to choose the type of harvest we
create by the words (seeds) we select to speak.
When we realize this truth great things can begin to happen in the
situations we face and the people we are in contact with. Remember when
Jesus taught the disciples concerning moving mountains He said, "Speak to
the mountain." Are you speaking God's life-filled promises into those
mountain-like situations, Champion. If not, start again today. Get the
promise or opinion of God for it and begin to speak it out with God-given
authority.
Mark 11:23 (NIV)
I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself
into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he
says will happen, it will be done for him.
Bless you
