The Verbal Covenant of God

Published: January 5, 2024 Ā· Reviewed: March 6, 2024

ISAIAH 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

Having God's words always in our mouths and the mouths of our descendants is a requirement of our covenant with Him, according to Isaiah 59:21. God's Word is not only for us to say, but also for us to teach our offspring to do the same.

The vast majority of Christians have never heard any education on the significance of the words we say, despite the fact that an increasing number of believers are starting to understand this. However, if you read the Bible carefully, you will notice that God places a lot of importance on what we say.

1 PETER 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Take a look at the Bible on your own. Make your own decision. You'll undoubtedly come to the conclusion that the Bible advises Christians to utter words that are in harmony with what God says.

What you say DOES matter.

SAY THIS: I will use my words to support what God has spoken, and I will instruct my offspring to do the same.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, We thank You for Your Word and Your Spirit that You have placed upon us. We pray for wisdom and understanding to speak words that align with Your will. Help us to teach our children to do the same, that Your Word may never depart from our mouths. May our words glorify You, Lord, and may we use them to uphold Your truth. Guide us to speak as the oracles of God, using the ability You have given us. We commit to using our words to support Your Word, now and forever. In Jesus' name, Amen.
