THERE IS POWER IN YOUR CONFESSION

THERE IS POWER IN YOUR CONFESSION
I read on the newspaper  recently of a man who kept on confessing that he would die on his 70th birthday. His wife and close friend kept on telling him to desist from confessing such a statement but he kept on confessing it for years.
Finally his 70th birthday finally came and it was well celebrated, he told his friends that he would die that day but his friends taught he was joking, for he was not ill at all. He told his wife but she ignored him because she was used to such a statement for years.
Around 10pm he complained of a slight headache which persisted. around 11:30pm he fell into a state of coma and died before it was morning.
My Sunday school teacher told me a that was based on his own personal experience. He told me that during his university days there was no food in the house and he and his roommates were dead broke. He brought out the only food item in the house which was beans, placed it on a tray and removed the pebbles present in the beans. He told his roommates to cook the beans so that they will eat when he comes back for he wanted to pray and also to read his books.
When he came back around 10PM, he expected a well prepared beans porridge to  be served to him but to his greatest surprise he was that faces of his roommates where all sad and dejected and all lay on the bed without any hope. When he asked what the problem was, they told him that after necessary preparation of putting the beans in the pot and adding water, they found out that there was no kerosene to cook it and mind you there was no money to  buy kerosene.
    Early that day my Sunday school teacher read a portion of the scripture where Jesus gave this statement in john 14:14   "if ye ask of anything in my name I will do it "KJV and had meditated on it all day. When he heard that there was no kerosene, he boldly told his roommates "check there is kerosene in the stove". the roommates in disbelief replied "there is no kerosene in the stove for we checked it earlier this morning" but he was undeterred by their statement and replied "check there is kerosene in the stove". The roommates feeling angry told him to check it himself, and when he checked, to everyone's surprise there was kerosene!!.
"his can only be a miracle!" exclaimed one of the roommates"for we previously checked and there was not even a drop of kerosene in that stove". With the now available kerosene, they used it to boil the long awaited beans . Immediately the finished cooking, there was no fire in the stove for the kerosene was now exhausted. This made his roommates to start believing God for the impossible.
   From the  two stories above, one confessed negatively and the other confessed positively and both reaped the outcome of it.
When one confesses positively or negatively there is a force that backs such a confession and brings it pass. One cant confess negatively and expect to reap  a positive result. Everyone gets whatever he or she confesses.     Your confession is like a laptop or desktop to a printer. The printer does not print anything until it receives a command from the laptop or  desktop to print.so is with your confession,. Your        ,   economic situation , academics and career depends on what you confess. That is why I don't pay attention to the news circulated by newspapers about the economic recession affecting our country. This is because whatever you hear, you confess and whatever you confess, you believe and get. Even in times of economic hardship, a  persistent  positive confession will certainly turn things around. There is power in your tongue and the words you say. Always say positive things for what we say is what we get.
