For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).
Our opening verse says you believe with your heart,
and are made right with God; however, with the mouth, confession (Greek:
homologeo) is made unto salvation. It is your confession that activates and
causes the blessings of salvation to be actualized in your life, so don’t be
quiet. Speak the Word always.
There’re those who say Christianity is of the
heart, so you don’t have to say anything; just keep it in your heart, to
yourself. Well, that’s not Christianity! You can’t know the Word of God and be
quiet; more so, the Bible says, "with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation." There’re tremendous blessings in salvation, and to enjoy them,
you’ve got to be a talker; a Word-talker.
Salvation is a big word; it encapsulates all the
beautiful results of the redemptive work of Christ: salvation, divine life,
healing and health, freedom, liberty, preservation, deliverance, etc. These are
all in the blessings of salvation; they all came in one package. If perhaps,
you’ve been in a mess or have found yourself in some predicament, what you need
to do is to confess the Word, and by your confessions, you catapult yourself to
the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
It doesn’t matter how deep in the dungeon you find
yourself; it doesn’t matter how overwhelming the problem is, confess the Word
and you’ll come out victoriously. You might want to ask, "How do I confess
the Word?" Confession is your response in agreement with the Word.
For example, you may feel headaches, but what do
you say in such a situation? Someone may say, "O, my head is really
aching"; that’s the wrong confession. You ought to say, "I have the
life of God in me, therefore, every fibre of my being, from the crown of my
head to the soles of my feet, is vitalized by the Spirit of God that lives in
me! I’m healthy and strong."
You’re not an ordinary person; you’re born of God;
you’re born of His Word, and must therefore live by the Word. We’re victorious
by the Word on our lips—the words we speak in agreement with God’s Word.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for my
glorious life and heritage of greatness in Christ; thank you for making me one
with you, and granting me the grace to live victoriously every day, in health,
prosperity, joy, liberty and safety. The power of your Word, and the Holy
Spirit in me, puts me over in every situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
