Open Your Mouth Amazingly Wide And God Will Fill It

 

Is your mouth open and filled by God? This is a simple instruction from God which many Christians are not obeying. Yet, it's an avenue by which God shows Himself mighty and faithful on our behalf. So, in this post, you're encouraged to open your mouth wide and God will fill it.

 

I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. “But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels. “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him, but their fate would endure forever. He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you - Psalms 81:10-16 (NKJV, emphasis mine).

 

Introduction

Your victory in life lies in the use of your mouth. It is a tool that God uses to bless us when we use it as He specified. However, many people don't enjoy the use of their mouth because they use it as they like, following their own counsel. But when you open your mouth wide God will fill it and you will be full.

What Does It Mean To Open Mouth Wide And God Will Fill It?

This is to boldly declare God's word at all times and to ask whatever you want from God. Certainly, to close your mouth is to shut down your destiny. And God is more than able to do whatever you say in faith. So, don't say or ask for small things, rather boldly ask for big things in faith? Therefore, opening your mouth wide to call forth your desires in Christ will attract answers from the Lord.

Why should you open your mouth wide?

1. It is God Almighty who said you should open your mouth wide. Surely, He's not a small god; rather He's the one who brought the Israelites out of Egypt with outstretched hands. And He wrought great signs and wonders in Egypt that couldn't be replicated.
   

2. For Him to subdue your enemies and turn His hands against your adversaries. God is waiting for you to declare His word against your enemies for Him to carry it out. But, when you keep quiet, you give Him no opportunity to fill it and use it against your enemies. Read more...

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

It Takes Grace to Obey God

Are you struggling with obeying the Lord? The proof of your love for God is your obedience to all His instructions. However, obeying Him totally is not an easy thing considering that you engage your flesh in a battle in the process. This post states the grace of God as a requirement for obeying the Lord all the time.

So he answered and said to me: this is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts – Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV).

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me – I Corinthians 15:10 (NKJV).

Many Christians truly desire to obey Christ all the time but they are weak when it comes to contending with the desires of their flesh. The good they desire to do, they find themselves not doing; but the evil they don’t want to do, they find themselves doing. However, the good news is that through Jesus Christ you can overcome this battle (Romans 7:15-25). Jesus gives us the grace (John 1:17) to obey the word of God.

You cannot by yourself obey God, for it is not by your might nor power but by the help of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6), which comes in the form of the grace of God. Grace is an unearned, undeserved favour of God. It enables you to do what you normally or ordinarily would not be able to do. Read more....
