Words
as I define is the most powerful intangible force in the whole universe. You
wanna know why? Good! The world was created by words;
“Let there be
light.”
---God.
You are
a product of powerful utterances that are divinely and supernaturally inspired.
So words are not just mere utterances or a volume of dry gases emanating from
your mouth.
“The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. “
---Jesus.
Have
you ever wondered why some people close to us or not would say some things to
us and we would change immediately? Words . . . They've been used to make us
laugh and cry. They can wound or heal. They offer us hope or devastation. With
words we can make our noblest intentions felt and our deepest affections known.
Throughout human history, our greatest leaders, thinkers and public speakers
have used the power of words to transform our emotions, to enlist us in their
causes, and to shape the course of destiny. Words cannot only create emotions,
they create actions. And from our actions flow the results of our lives. They
can utter our emotions and change our reactions.
Have
you ever noticed or thought of the power of utterances in speeches? Do you
remember I have a dream by Dr Martin Luther King Jnr, or as for me and my House
by Joshua the son of Nun etc.? Those words did not just only change the drive
and focus of people but change the course of history and destiny of races
through human history. Many of us are well aware of the powerful pan that words
have played in our history, of the power that great speakers have to move us,
but few of us are aware of our own power to use these same words to move
ourselves emotionally, to challenge, embolden, and strengthen our spirits, to
move ourselves to action, to seek greater richness from this gift we call life.
What a
gift these simple symbols are! We transform these unique shapes we call letters
(or sounds, in the case of the spoken word) into a unique and rich tapestry of
human experience. They provide us with a vehicle for expressing and sharing our
experience with others; however, most of us don't realize that the words you
habitually choose also affect how you communicate with yourself and therefore
what you experience. Words can injure our egos or inflame our hearts—we can
instantly change any emotional experience simply by choosing new words to
describe to ourselves what we're feeling.
I have
discovered lately that words have a biochemical effect, it can utter how we feel
at any particular time. Sometimes when close friends fall under the weather,
the doctor would run the test and predict the length of the sickness but
immediately they get a call that a business proposal was approved or they won a
huge sum of money, their weak or sick bodies would receive strength immediately
(laughs). Have you experience how a bright, beautiful morning could turn so
gloomy because you were told you failed the last in-course test or semester
exams.
Can you
recollected the times when some authority figure would say some words directly
to you and you would weep, but if they had changed it a bit you wouldn’t even
care what was said, to find out what exactly those kind of words could be join
