In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. — John 1:1-3 (NKJV)

Words are powerful because they possess a dominating and creative ability. They are not things we should joke with, nor should we ever utter words we do not mean, because the words we speak will come to pass. God created this entire world that we love using nothing but words. When Jesus came into the world, everything He did—from healing and deliverance to raising the dead—He accomplished through His words.

Even His resurrection was achieved by the words He spoke. Before He was crucified, He said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Because the people did not understand, they replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But the temple He had spoken about was His body. — John 2:19-21 (NKJV)

Jesus knew the power of words, so He rarely needed to touch people to heal them. He did not need to do anything elaborate to bring about healing; He simply used His words to cure the sick and bring the dead back to life. He understood the potency and power available in His words, and He used them to His advantage. Every time He spoke, things worked exactly the way He expected because He knew the authority His words carried and never took them lightly.

You can be just like Jesus. You will become a master of words the moment the things you utter begin to mean a lot to you. All you need to do is understand that your words are potent and possess creative abilities. Because you are a Christian, the words you speak reflect the words of Jesus and carry the inherent ability to manifest.

Therefore, begin to speak words of power, knowing that what you say has the ability to become reality. The day you start using your words to create your world is the day you become who God actually made you to be. On that day, you become a master of words just like Jesus. So, what are you waiting for? Start taking your words seriously, form your world with what you say, and expect to see results whenever you speak. Praise God!
