DISCIPLINE – THE ROAD TO SUCCESS #3
WORDS

1. INTRODUCTION
The way to success is to be disciplined.
Indiscipline is an enemy of ours and of God’s.
In this lesson, we will learn about the power of words.
The secret is to control your words / the way we speak.
It is necessary to be disciplined and to control your words, to learn to speak what is in accordance with God.

2. SPIRITUAL LAW
Faith is a way of living 24 hours a day.
Words are seeds, what we sow we will reap – Mark 4:26
Death and life are in the power of our tongue. The choice is ours – Proverbs 18:21

3.NEGATIVE SIDE

a) ZACARIAS EXAMPLE
Luke 1:5-20, 57-63

God can do all things. For God, the fact that Elizabeth had been barren all her life was not a problem. However, Zechariah did not believe that God was going to give her a son.
Zechariah remained mute, not as a punishment, but to avoid spoiling God’s plan with negative words.

b) ISRAELITES AT THE GATES OF THE PROMISED LAND
Numbers 13:1-3,27-33

God had promised the Promised Land to his people.
But of the 12 spies who went to spy out the Land, only 2 believed / said they would get it.
10 spies spoke negatively, because they had Egypt in their hearts = they failed;
2 spies were right = they won;

Solution:

-stop speaking negatively
-break the power of words in Jesus’ name;
-resist fear;

4. POSITIVE SIDE

Speak as God speaks – Joshua 1:8
We need to declare:
– that we are what the bible says we are;
– that we have what the Bible says we have;
– that we can do what the Bible says we can;
– that we are children of God and have eternal life;
– that we have victory over enemies and problems through Jesus.
– that our needs are met;
– that we have health;
– that we are successful;
