TOPIC: "BELIEVING" AND "TALKING" MUST GO TOGETHER.

Opening text: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth

confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10).

Your mouth is your instrument to chart your course
through life; it’s not just for eating and drinking. There’re
people in hospitals who, as a result of sickness, are drip-
fed through their veins. So even though it’s convenient to
use the mouth for food, its greater function is for talking;
using the power of words for creating your
victorious life.

Salvation has already been made available in Christ
Jesus. Titus 2:11 says, "For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men." However, to catapult
yourself into the realms of glory—where you enjoy the
benefits of salvation—you must use your mouth rightly, for
with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.

This is the reason some people, even though
they’ve been Christians for long, have never really enjoyed
the benefits of Christianity. They haven’t acted on the
Word. You’re to make confessions of the Word; that means
speak the same things that God has said concerning you
in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to

enjoying the benefits of salvation.

You ought to always make confessions about yourself on
the basis of the Word of God that you’ve believed. Until
you make those confessions, your believing won’t produce
results. Your believing and your confessions must go
together. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, "We having the
same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed,
and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore
speak."

Those whose confessions are at variance with what they
believe experience lots of ups and downs in life; no
consistent victories. This is because as the Word says, a
fountain doesn’t produce sweet water and bitter water at
the same time (James 3:11). Speak the Word only, and
always, for a life of consistent victory and
excellence.

CONFESSION:
The Word of God prevails mightily in me
today, producing glory in my life. My victory is undeniable,
and all the blessings and results of the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ are evident in my life, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
