Confession For Today
Oil For Today – Day 186
I cooperate with the timing of God. I do not run faster than God. I move at his pace. I trust the judgment of the Holy Spirit. Even though it seems late, it will eventually be the latest. God is acting on my behalf. God is moving to favor me. God’s promises concerning my relationship/marriage is coming to pass speedily. I receive the help of God. I am delivered from the clutches of sin. I walk in the victory of the finished works of Christ. The joy of my salvation is restored in full. So shall it be in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Jane sat before me, completely downcast. She was exasperated.
“Pastor, I don’t really understand.” She said
“What is the issue?”
“Pastor, Scott broke up with me! I mean, I could not believe it. I was so sure I had found my God-ordained man.
“What was his reason for doing that?”
“Pastor, you wouldn’t believe it.”
“Tell me”
“Because of my tongues!”
“What happened to your tongues?”
“He said my tongues are monosyllables. That it is not diverse tongues!”
There are many people who have found themselves in the shoes of Jane or Scott as the case may be.
One guy actually told a lady, “All your tongues are not more than Sanda…Sanda…Sanda… When will you ever get a shoe when you don’t know more than Sandal?”
While this may seem hilarious, most people keep on making this mistake.
Here are a few points to note that will set the link between spirituality and tongues straight.
1. A Spiritual Experience
Speaking in tongues is a spiritual experience. You cannot use your physical ears to judge or decode what is being said and the import of what is being communicated.
2. Communication With God
Whoever is speaking in tongues is essentially communicating with God. It is none of your business how it sounds to your ears!
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. – 1 Corinthians 14:2 (KJV)
3. The One-Syllable Myth
A person can utter one syllable and yet might have communicated a volume of Information.
This is why the complimentary gift is called “Gift of INTERPRETATION and not TRANSLATION.
4. Relationship With God
The spirituality of a tongue is never determined in the rich vowels or how it sounds to the ears, it is determined more from the relationship that person has with God.

Words are spiritual and are our connection to the spiritual word. Our destinies are spiritual and so is our marriage.
Words don’t die so also their effects. God has given man the capacity and ability to create, project, and speak things to come to pass.
Now, this could be positive or negative, the same principle applies to both. Words spoken by men whether born again Christians or unbelievers are powerful. These words could be spoken to our detriment or to our advantage.
The effects of words spoken to us are real. They either form limitations in our lives and marriage or make our way easy in life. Careless words are also not left out. Whether the words were spoken consciously or unconsciously, or in a moment of emotional pain, words spoken affect our lives.
Some people don’t wish us well and they are either outrightly wicked or full of the devil. Sometimes, we speak negatively to our spouses and these words stand against them.
Whether character flaws or otherwise, we will do ourselves good speaking what we want to see in our spouse and marriage.

Negative words from parents, colleagues, friends, and associates can affect us and our spouses.
Rachel was Jacob’s wife whom he loved. But unknown to him, he released the words of death, which eventually worked in the life of Rachel. When she was giving birth to her son, she died.
And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin. – Gen 35:18 [NKJV]
The best way to nullify the effect of wrong words spoken is by using God’s words to cancel them. The same also happens concerning generational and lineage curses.
Until they are broken, their effect still holds. Sometimes, your spouse could be engaging with issues and problems they don’t know anything about. The good news is that you can begin to nullify the effect. You can cancel the effect of any negative words.
Go into the scriptures and get promises that God has promised. Declare this intentionally over your spouse and begin to see desired changes.
May God grant us more wisdom in Jesus name, amen.
God bless our marriages.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I nullify every negative word spoken to me or against my marriage
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Blood of Jesus, erase the effect every of wrong word spoken to me
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Prov 6:2 [NKJV] You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Plead the blood of Jesus over your mariage
Have you started taking responsibility? I remember when I was little and my mother gave me some money to buy fish from the market. When I got to the woman selling the fish, I couldn’t find the money I was given. Guess what happened when I got home? My mother was angry and scolded me for losing the money.
Why do you think my mother was angry? Was she right to be angry? The answer is “yes”. It was my responsibility to keep the money well. It was in my possession and I should have kept it well. I was trusted to keep it safe and get what I was sent.
Responsibility means doing what is expected of you and accepting the consequences for either doing or not doing these things. This means that as a child, there are things you are meant to do, say or keep. Things you will be responsible for. And as you grow older these things increase in size and time.
“Each person should judge his own actions. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done. Each person must be responsible for himself.” – Gal. 6:5 ICB
The bible verse above says that you are to judge your own actions, check if you are proud of what you do and that you should be responsible for yourself. In other words, are you proud that you are responsible or not? Judge yourself.
May the Lord give you enlightenment about being responsible. Amen
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I open my heart as I learn about responsibility. Help me to keep my heart open. Amen.
Action point: Ask your parents what your responsibilities are if you don’t know them. if you do, as the bible verse said, are you proud of your actions?

In the name of Jesus, I am obedient to heavenly injunctions. My ears are inclined to do His bidding. I will not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. This day, I am going forward. My destiny is advancing. No more backwardness. No more retrogression. I am delivered from the spirit of stagnancy. In my relationship/marriage, I am going forward. In my finances, I experience a quantum leap. Henceforth, my song shall be forward ever, backwards never in Jesus name, amen.
