The Man Who Will Be King: Part 1.
God appoints
leaders over His people Dan.4:17.
A father, like a king, is neither elected nor can enthrone himself. His
appointment commences when he establishes his own home and finds a wife. He is
secure as husband before becoming a father, progressively taking on the
responsibilities of leadership. The finger of God is upon fathers; He looks
with favour upon them and blesses them with children. The receiver must be
willing to learn from the Giver how best to excel at all the assignments the
gifts will task him with, in order to enjoy the blessing. The man who desires
to be taught is poised to benefit immensely from instruction for fathering at
the mouth of the One who made him a father, by His grace.
God
expects a father to fit His prescriptions for the man He appoints king over His
people. He puts His Spirit upon him, anoints him, and prepares him for
leadership, providing strength and guidance 1Sam.16:12-13.
The father who wields authority over his household must himself be under the authority
of Christ. As king, he represents God to the people, speaks and acts as the heavenly
Father would. A man of integrity who never perverts justice Ps.72:2,
he rules by divine wisdom. The king's heart is impassioned with love for his
people; they see God in him, love, respect, trust, honour, and are loyal to
him. Being willing to spend and be spent for the cause of God in the lives of
His people, he is sensitive to their needs, hears their call. He allows nothing
negatively impact his ability to protect and secure the people Prov.31:4-5.
Dear
Lord, let my heart be flooded with divine
illumination in Your Word Ps.119:105. I desire to become a good father by the enabling power of Your
Spirit, and spearhead a return to Godly fathering values, to positively impact
the greatness of my family and my community. Thank You for turning my heart
to my children Mal.4:6.
I accept full responsibility for raising them in Godly manner, and I arise to carry
the baton of leadership of this family. As
Your word renews my mind and transforms me Rom.12:2, I receive courage to take continuous action to do right by my
children, to beautify them, make their lives glorious and make them proud to
have been fathered by me. I
receive grace by faith not to allow my career, business, ministry
or any relationship deter me from being father to them. In Jesus Majestic Name I pray. Amen.
Declaration:
In the name of Jesus,
and by the super-abounding grace of God, I decree and declare:
·
My children and I are a sign and a wonder, a crown of glory, a royal diadem in the Hand of our God Is.62. He
works His will in us. We are an integral part of what He is doing in our
generations, having established us all a praise on earth. He has done
wonderful, marvellous things that He has never done on earth before in our
lives, for all to see and marvel at our awesome God Ex.34:10.
·
I am a wise father. As king I exercise authority over my household, being
under the headship of Christ 1Cor.11:3; as priest I stand in the gap for my family, and
daily speak God’s Blessing over us; as prophet I receive a timely word from our
heavenly Father, so that we never lack prophetic words to speak daily for
situations in our lives to fit God's plan and purpose for us Mt.4:13-16. Thank
You, Jesus.
