*YOUR TONGUE IS A ROD*
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
(Numbers 17:8)
In 24 hours, out of the twelve rods put in the holiest of holies, it was only Aaron's rod that budded and produced fruit. I want to write on the five symbolism of Aaron's rod. The first symbolic meaning of Aaron's rod is the words of your mouth. Why do I say so? In Micah 6:9, the Bible says, *"...hear ye the rod and who hath appointed it."* Your words give life and can kill you. No wonder in Proverbs 18:21, the Bible says, *"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."* Your tongue is a rod.
After God said in Genesis 1:3, *"Let there be light."* A process followed. In 2 Peter 3:8, the Bible says, *"...one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a day thousand years as one day."* When God declared *, "Let there be light*" we don't know how long it took for light to appear. From the time God declared *"Let there be light,"* to the time light appeared, His Word was in action creating the light.
In Job 14:14, Job said *, "If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come."* How do you wait? Through your words. Declear the Word of God, no matter what is happening around you. God was seeing the problem and confusion, but He kept on declaring the same words and eventually light appeared. Beloved, if you can hold unto your confession, light will shine out of darkness.
