Proverbs 18:20 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.” (Proverbs 18:20 NKJV)

He reaffirms the key role of our mouth in having God's favors come to pass for us. In as much as we utter words with our mouth to empower the faith in our hearts, we are to declare with our mouth God's favors and blessings to fill our hearts and satisfy our needs.

The state of our life is a result of what we declare on our lips. If we constantly declare failure, we become a failure. If we verbalize every negative complaints, emotions and thoughts, that would be prophesying the outcome we will get. Complaints of aches, pains and hopelessness take a person to a place of sickness, torment and defeat. What we say and pronounce in our lips foretell our future.

In order to be blessed and victorious, we shift to the language of hope and victory day in and day out, even if what we hear and see show otherwise. The truth is we are redeemed from the curse of sin to live in the blessings of grace. So, with our lips 'let the redeemed of The Lord say so' (Psalm 107:2).

We must not agree and succumb with the lies of 'reality' that we see. It can be deceptive, at times. We defy the reality of problems and challenges with our mouth's declarations of faith on God's promises and victory, in Jesus name. One such attitude we can mirror on is that of Jabez, whose name his mother gave means pain. He defied that label with declaration of faith, when he prayed, as it is written: "Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that, you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.” (1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
