THE AUTHORITY IN THY MOUTH: Sophie Speaks

The authority in thy mouth!

"Walls have ears" are words we were made to believe in our growing years. We often spoke in whispers so our conversations would not be at the mercy of the wall's ears. Should our little "chat" sneak to the hearing of others, we assume the walls told on us. Phew! The myths we lived by!!

There are no fewer than 50authored books stating the importance, power, potency, anthenticity of our words. Life is essentially spiritual, a pastor friend of mine often says. If we go by this clause, we'd understand how our words play out to reality.

I'm particular at what I utter and even more cautious at what anyone says to me. Often times I've wrestled with carefree 'speech lancers'. Playing silent when someone says anything offensive isn't the way to go. An adage says, "he who keeps still, agrees to the allegations". Thus, you agree to terms of what's been said to you if you do not challenge it.

When certain positive utterances are made, chances are we have no intention as to how they'll play out. Our current circumstance may not accommodate us to launch into that realm however, press on. In the end, you'll look over the years and realize how much your life's been transformed by your prophesies. Our resolve hence is to speak positively concerning the future we crave disregarding the absurdity of doing so because in the end, our future is in our words!!
