Genesis 49:1 (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Jacob called his sons and said, \u2018Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A father\u2019s words are creative and prophetic. The words spoken by a godly parent can mold and fashion the destiny of a child and therefore caution, and careful wording is needed when we talk to our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacob on his death bed began to make declarations that could only be the words of God Himself being declared over these children, for each was a prophetic statement that became descriptive of what those tribes turned out to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guard your tongue when speaking to your children. Guard jealously the words that come from your mouth, even in moments of anger; because these words can define the destinies of your children. As a godly parent, your words are life; speak them very graciously, with knowledge & great restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beware: The future of your children just may lie in the power of your tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have failed many times here, but I know that I can repair the wrong words spoken in the past. Lord, I will speak more guardedly to my children and to those I love, even from this day. In Jesus\u2019 name, I pray. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
