FAITH CAPSULE: Tongue is responsible for confession what the heart carries.

2 Kings 4

Where there is consecutive of heavy downpour of rain or constant snowfall, man is prone to confessing day as “bad day” What name are you giving or confessing to your day or your season? In confessing negative or positive man should be expecting what is confessed. Tongue is responsible for confession what the heart carries. Bible warned, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. What are you saying to your life?”
With tongue, what are you calling your child, your marriage, your business or your challenging situation? The warning word in the bible is consistent to perform. Man should learn to be conscious and be cautious by paying attention to not confessing death but life in challenging situation of life. Truly, the word of God is written for our learning if man will be giving self to learn in the word of God as prescription for the way of living life. It is written, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
The lesson to learn for confessing positive in the face of negative is recorded in the story of Shunammite woman. The Shunammite woman had no child and her husband was at old age when Elisha prayed for her to conceived and she bore a son. The child grew and one day he was sick and had untimely death. The woman did not accept death for her son despite the fact that her son was dead. The woman’s husband does not know about challenging situation of son’s death. When husband was curious about his wife’s visitation to Elisha, his question and his wife’s response is recorded in 2Kings 4:23, “…Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It is well.” Woman’s response was positive in the place of negative confession.
The Shunamite woman remained on constant positive confession. The woman’s positive confession was rooted in her heart against doubt as she could not be discouraged by her surroundings. It is worthy to be approaching every day with positive confession in all ways regardless of how negativity lays its trap for man’s going and coming.
Challenging situation under heaven has always been and it will not stop happening but man should learn to begin to keep it in heart that communicating by confessing positive not negative flows from heart. Proverbs 4:23 admonished, “Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.”
Be confessing positive with no negativity.

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to reign and rule over your life.
