SPEAK TO IT AND NOT ABOUT IT

I noticed a mouth sore on my upper lip. It was quite painful. I was even telling Irewamiri about it. I was asking what would normally cause that to happen. I wanted to know which nutrient I lacked. The sore was quite painful, but I just assumed it was going to heal.

One night, while I was praying and listening to the word of God, I heard it clearly: “Many people will be giving explanations about what they should be rebuking”. It struck me instantly. I laid my hands on my mouth and told the mouth sore to heal. About an hour later, the stinging pain was gone. By the next day, I was totally healed.

If you keep tolerating it, it will continue to fester! If you keep explaining it away, it will continue to blossom.

Do you know what the Psalmist said about strangers? He said:

“As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; The foreigners submit to me. The foreigners fade away, and come frightened from their hideouts.”

Psalms 18:44-45 NKJV

If you keep quiet, that stranger will gain more ground. If you do not rebuke it, the sickness will remain. Let that pain hear your voice. Let that challenge hear the word.

Jesus also told us that we do not sit down talking about mountains, but we talk to mountains:

“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Mark 11:23 NKJV

Stop making a gist out of what should disgust you. Take your stand as a priest and rebuke anything you do not want to see. Stop tolerating any sickness. Stop explaining it away. Do not assume it is just seasonal.

If you see a snake in your house, do you wait to check or analyse whether it is a friendly snake first? No! You kill it immediately. That is how you should treat the devil and every strange ambassador that he has.

Go and speak to that mountain now. It is not a matter of gist. It is a stranger to kick it. Stop seeing resistance as circumstance.
