The evil counsel against you shall be overturned because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional: THE POWER OF THE NEW COVENANT IS VOICE-ACTIVATED
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
The principle of speaking in faith is foundational to the New Covenant. God designed His kingdom to operate through the spoken word, and this truth is evident throughout Scripture. Numbers 14:28 (AMP) states, “Just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you.” This reveals that our words carry authority in the spiritual realm.
Jesus reinforced this principle in Mark 11:23-24, teaching that faith-filled words can move mountains. When we speak in faith, believing in our hearts, we activate divine power. The prayer of faith is not passive—it declares God’s will into existence. James 5:17-18 shows how Elijah applied this principle: he declared the heavens shut, and it did not rain until he spoke again in faith.
This principle originates in Genesis 1, where God spoke the universe into existence. He didn’t merely think creation into being—He declared it. Since we are made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27), we, too, are called to decree His will on earth. John 15:16 affirms that whatever we ask in Jesus’ name, the Father will do.
Jesus said in Luke 10:19 that He has given us authority over the enemy. When we speak God’s Word in faith, we activate His power for healing, provision, and the advancement of His kingdom. As Proverbs 18:21 declares, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Speak in faith, and watch the kingdom of God manifest!
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to speak his word when faced with adversity.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to change circumstances.
