Put It On Your Lips – Pastor Chris
Wednesday, September 20, 2017
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8).
The primary principle for success and prosperity is clear in our opening verse: keep the Word on your lips! That means you’ve got to talk it. It’s not enough to have the Word in your heart; it must come out of your mouth. The Lord Jesus said in Luke 6:45, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good….” The proof that you have the Word in your heart is that it comes out of your mouth.
Only “talking” Christians win in life. And by that I don’t mean loquacious Christians; I mean those who talk the Word. You can’t talk God’s Word consistently and be weak, poor, broke, sick or defeated. It doesn’t matter that you were born poor or sick, but if you talk strength, victory and health, you’d always be victorious. In Mark 11:23, Jesus said you shall have what you say. This is the way of success.
God is concerned about your success; He put you on earth for that. Notice again His recipe for a successful, ever-winning, vibrant, and transcendent life: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth ….” Your mouth is the key.
Nothing shall be impossible with you if you’d learn to use your mouth right; if you’d learn to speak the Word. No matter how hopeless a situation may look, you can effect a change with the Word. The Word of God on your lips is God talking; it’ll make you what it talks about; it’ll paralyze and disable fear in you, and cause you to heap success upon success.
CONFESSION
My tongue is wholesome, and therefore a tree of life! I speak potent and life-giving words that are inspired by the Spirit. I’m a success for life, because I live the Word. God’s Word is in my heart and in my mouth, and it has made me triumphant forever. Glory to God!
