​The power of words - a short reflection.”  Annette Olivia Brown, Christian author

“The fiftieth year will be your Jubilee.  You are not to sow, reap what grows by itself or harvest its untended vines.  It is to be holy to you because it is the Jubilee.” Lev. 25:11

Fifty years represents the Jubilee year in scripture.  In Leviticus 25 the author, Moses, unfolds all of the instructions provided by the Lord to the Israelites for the Sabbath years and Jubilee.

“You are to count seven sabbatical years, seven times seven years so the time period of seven sabbatical years amounts to 49…The fiftieth year will be your Jubilee.” Lev 25:8.

Jubilee is a designated time, by the Lord for reset! rest and breakthrough.  It is also an opportunity to align oneself to God our Creator.

It “dawned on me,” recently, that this is the 50th year celebration of Hip Hop!  Rappers  have shared many different messages through various genres of music in this art form.  The cultural significance of Hip Hop music is world wide.  I find it interesting that the power of the spoken word is really amplified through Hip Hop.  It is the power of words that I would like to reflect on briefly.


THE WORD

The spiritual power of God’s written word, scripture, and spoken word that is heard and/or experienced is so significant. The Lord created our very being with the word and communicates with us by His word in spirit and in truth.  The Holy Spirit was sent to provide the understanding and truth of God’s word to us

​“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.” John 1:1. 


OUR WORDS

Words written or spoken are like seeds.  Words communicated to others,  for example, can build up, encourage, enlighten, provide joy and a window to great adventures.  Words can also tear down, discourage, attempt to rob one of joy, bore or instigate destruction.  

Words are like food.  We need to be mindful of what we eat and what we prepare for others to dine on.  

“For to whom much is given, of him will be much required.  And to whom men commit much, the more will they ask of him.” Luke 12:48 (NMB).

I pray that we will all increase in understanding, knowledge and mindfulness about the power of the words we use and are exposed to.
