Rebranding Your Spirit
In the last few weeks, we’ve been getting rid of foul spirits borne out of our human nature which could hinder our spiritual growth and the presence of God in our lives and which invariably suppresses our destinies. So far, I’ve discussed Anger, Pride, Envy/Jealousy, Fear, Unforgiveness, Depression and how we can conquer them in our lives. Today, I’ll be discussing Talkativeness. I welcome you all to school on Sunday!
The word Talkative is a neutral or mildly unfavourable word applied to a person who is inclined to talk a great deal, sometimes without significance. Such a person talks with wearisome persistence, usually about personal and trivial things. As little children, a lot of us were talkative. We just wanted to talk about everything we saw and heard other people talk about. However, as a child grows, the talkativeness grows out of him as long as it’s not a family pattern.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)
The tongue is a small organ of the body but happens to control our entire existence. It can save or kill you. It can pollute and destroy one’s destiny while it can also make it beautiful and colourful. Too many people in the world today have been ensnared and become victims of their tongue. A lot of people have confessed negative things into their lives as a result of one health challenge or the other and their unpleasant circumstance. And the devil, our common enemy who has only come to steal, kill and destroy every good thing God has planned for us, has cashed in on this and has a strong grip over their destinies. If you are one of such people, I congratulate you because as you are reading this, the mighty power of God is arresting that unprofitable situation and giving you a brand new tongue of fire that’ll speak woe to every mountain in your life and right all wrongs in Jesus name. Please say seven loud Amen to that and receive an instant miracle!
“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.” James 3:6
Also, on a daily basis, too many invite strife and curses into their lives by an improper use of their tongue. Why would anyone want to use a weapon which could be used to create a beautiful life map out an ugly life of pain? Many people lose their blessings and that which has been attached to their destinies to make them great because they told someone their plans, dreams and revelations. The whole world lies in great mystery and wickedness. You’d recall Joseph’s talkativeness got him into serious trouble which could have entirely destroyed his glorious destiny but for the spirit of God/holiness which was consistent in him and which eventually bailed him out and catapulted him to greatness even at a young age. However, he went through hell on earth. A lot of destinies would never survive such an attack except God is really interested in them. Is God interested in you? Are you living a life that pleases Him? Now, shout this prayer point loud and clear-
“Holy Ghost arise, sanitise my tongue in the name of Jesus.” Pray aggressively for three minutes.
“Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.” Ecclesiastes 5:2.
Too much talking is very destructive to spirituality. Many people wonder why they do not have a closer walk with God. With some, it is because they talk too much. It is surprising to note how much worthless talk there is in the world today. It leads to lying, gossip, slander, verbal abuse and curses all which are absolutely in conflict with the Spirit of God. These are vices which create a ladder for the devil to climb into one’s life and further make a mess of it. One thing I know for sure is this – we have enormous power over the devil, the master of every power and everyone that troubles our destiny.
