*DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR*
1 Samuel 5:1-9:10
*GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY*
By *Dr Clara Akpami*
Lamentations 3:37 NKJV
Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not commanded it?
There are people who tend to speak into your life because they think they possess some supernatural power that can humiliate you. Some may have exercised such power against you and think they are in control of your life. Please be informed that it is God who has the ultimate power, not man nor satan. Our text is clear when it says “Who is he that speaks and it comes to pass when the Lord has not commanded it?” If what is being said about you or to you is not in line with God's word, it does not possess the power to manifest except you permit it. Yet another version of our text says “Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?”
When words are spoken against you, cancel the power of those words with God's commandment. Declare what God's word says concerning you. Our father in the Lord Dr John Akpami says “Those who don't pray become preys.” Your declaration of God's word is your prayer to establish God's word in your life. He further says, “Your inaction activates the devil. If you lie low, he walks tall. If you keep your mouth shut, you allow satan to have the final say.” Job 22:28 says, “You shall decree a thing and it shall come to pass while Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
If your enemy uses his tongue to speak death into your life, of course, you also have the power in your own tongue to declare life. What God says about you is more powerful and productive than any other counsel. It is the final word about you. Decree God's Word over your life, it carries authority, and it shall come to pass in Jesus name.
*Prayer*
I decree God’s Word over my life, business family and environment. You shall have what I have decreed in Jesus Name.
