Alfred Nobel, founder of the Peace Prize, was born in Stockholm in 1833. As a young man he perfected a commercial explosive, which he called dynamite.
Nobel designed dynamite for man's welfare and used the profit to establish the Peace Prize, which has brought many around the world to limelight for their role in speaking against the wrong use of nuclear weapons.
However, over the years, the destructive use of dynamites and the proliferation of weapons of war have become deadlier. Today we have dynamite, TNT, cordite, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, biological weapons, ICBMs, and drones. But the question is: what is the most explosive thing in the world?

Actually, it is none of the above. The most explosive thing in the world today is 2 inches away from your nose: the word of your mouth. Why? Because it can detonate ideas that will move the minds of men with a force infinitely greater and more lasting than the whirl wind loosed by splitting an atom.

In the Bible, after that Jesus had risen from the dead, He spoke a word unto his disciples that changed history, now, and the future:

Mark 16:15
15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


Friend, the consequences of those words spoken by Jesus, the world is yet to recover. In Thessalonica, when the inhabitants heard the words of the gospel herald and spoken through the lips of Jesus' disciples they said: "... These [are the men] that have turned the world upside down..." (Acts 17:6).
A word is so powerful it could turn the world upside down.
I remember one time I visited my mother and I found her talking to an Orange tree. She said that that tree has been in our compound for years without producing fruit.
So that day she walked straight to that tree and said: "By this time next harvest, if you do not produce fruit, you shall be hewed down!"
That tree, by next harvest, produced quality fruits.

In Solomon Island, the inhabitants do not chop down trees, they talk to them and they die. How? Should there be a tree that they want to bring down, they'll go around that tree in circle cursing it. And within days, that tree will dry up and die.

This is not the power of suggestion over a tree, but the explosive power therein the spoken words.
At one time, the Lord Jesus spoke to a fig tree and it died according to his words.
Mark 11:13-14
13. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

After Jesus spoke to that tree, it dried up slowly and died.
Words has power to create and destroy. It has the power to secure and to expose.

I read in Scriptures that perfect love casteth out fear. So every morning when I awake, I will say to myself, "I surround myself with love. From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet. I surround every one that I come in contact with with faith and love."

When I make that affirmation in the morning: my days are pickled with faith and I'm propelled to win.
I realized that when I surround myself with love. I can never fail. Not because I said, but because the Bible said so: "...Love never fails..." (1 Corinthians 13).

There is an explosive power in your words. Speak what the Bible says to yourself and challenges and see what happens.
