You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.” – Job 22:28
The Kingdom of God is a “voice-activated” kingdom! Once you’ve personalized the promises of God, it’s time to declare them. The word of God is spoken to you so that you can speak it out with your own mouth. When God gives you a promise, he expects you to put it in your mouth and confess it over your life. This is why God changed Abram’s name to Abraham—“exalted father” to “father of many nations”—so that every time Abraham spoke his name, he would be confessing God’s promise.
In the story of Mordecai, when he was accused of not bowing to Haman, he boldly responded, “I am a Jew.” This was not just a statement of identity but a declaration rooted in the promise of Deuteronomy 28:13, which he had internalized. Mordecai was speaking from the consciousness of God’s promises, declaring who he was and what he stood for.
As a child of God, you are a covenant carrier. When you declare, “I am a Christian,” you are acknowledging that you belong to God’s family and that His promises apply to you. When others say, “It is a casting down,” you can declare, “It is a lifting up!” your words reflect what you believe, and your life will always move in the direction of what you speak.
If God’s promise to you is that “none shall be barren in the land,” then you must declare repeatedly that you are not barren, and your children are coming at the appointed time. Confession isn’t a one-time event—it’s an ongoing declaration of faith. Speak God’s promises aloud, personalize them, and keep confessing them until you see the manifestation. God is faithful to His Word, and he will bring His promises to pass!
Prayer:
Father, thank you for your promises that are true and faithful. help me to always speak your Word over my life, declaring your promises with confidence. I choose to personalize your promises and declare them aloud every day. Let my words align with your truth, and may my life move in the direction of my faith-filled confessions. I trust in your faithfulness to perform every word you’ve spoken. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
