1John 5verse4 ‘For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.’
Faith has a voice and it’s the voice of victory. As you can see from our text scripture (1John5verse4), your faith is your weapon of victory over the world. In other words, your faith is supposed to put you over in life. But if this will ever be a reality in your life, then you need to know what the voice of faith is all about. This is what I intend to share with you in this series of teachings and for today’s lesson, I want us to consider the first thing about the voice of faith, which is:
–The Voice of Victory! Faith never talks about defeat or failure. Faith is a winner and not a loser! Faith always speaks of victory and triumphing! This is the language of faith. Rom10v6.So what have you been saying? Are you speaking faith or fear? Are you speaking faith or doubt? The truth of the matter is that you can always know what a person is saying by your words because it will either reveal your faith or fear. Whether you know it or not, your words reveal your faith or not! Your words are your faith in action or otherwise. 2Cor4v13. So, my dear brothers and sisters, if you want to be victorious in life, you need to be:
-Mindful of what you are saying. Pro13v3.
-Speak what you desire or want. Mk11v23
-Speak like an overcomer and not a defeated person. Matt12v37.
So my dear reader, my admonition to you today is to speak victory all the time! Stop speaking about failure and calamity. Start speaking faith because this is how you activate your victory! I know we have been taught in the world to speak things. The way they are but you need to learn the language and culture of faith, which is, calling those things that be not as though they were. Rom4v17.
Are you ready to activate your voice of victory? Are you willing to put your faith to work? I want you to always remember that faith has a voice and it’s the voice of victory! So never allow your mouth to be silent or quiet! Keep your faith working by speaking victory. As you do this, you will begin to experience the wonders of the faith life.
